'Not Smart': Browns GM Didn't Hold Back On Shedeur Sanders
With all eyes on Shedeur Sanders following his fifth-round draft slide the last thing the former Colorado star could afford to do was have a slip-up. But two speeding tickets later, the son of the Hall of Famer is already getting called out by his team's general manager.
Part of Sanders' draft slide had to do with questions about his maturity — which weren't exactly helped by his two very public citations. And that led to Browns GM Andrew Berry having to answer questions about his rookie quarterback at the start of Cleveland's training camp.
"Not smart. That's just not smart," Berry told reporters Thursday. "It's something that we have addressed with him. He understands the implications. He understands the consequences."
"I think the thing is it's not just about yourself. ... It's not just about driving your car real fast. It's about the fact that you endanger other people," he added. "It's about the fact that if a deer or someone cuts out in front of you like your reaction time."
"It's just dangerous, and it's not something that we want our guys to be doing. It's not something that they should be doing," Berry concluded. "The No. 1 reason is because we don't want some catastrophic accident."
Sanders was caught going 91 MPH in a 65 MPH zone and 101 MPH in a 60 MPH zone last month — which simply can't happen as the potential face of a franchise.
"He knows this and all of our rookies know this: They need to make sure that they're being safe and that can be whether they're behind the wheel of a car or they're in and around town," head coach Kevin Stefanski said, via Cleveland.com. "They need to make really good decisions, so that they're safe."'Not Smart': Browns GM Didn't Hold Back On Shedeur Sanders first appeared on The Spun on Jul 26, 2025

Why did Micah Parsons demand a trade?
WHEW. It's been a Friday in the NFL, my friends. Things were already tense when it came to stud pass-rusher Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys, thanks to the do-it-all EDGE's demand for a new contract with 2026 free agency looming. But then? It exploded. MORE ON MICAH PARSONS: There was an initial report from The Athletic's Dianna Russini about how the "relationship has deteriorated to the point where the star pass rusher is considering drastic measures which could include a trade request or even a declaration that he is severing his relationship with the team." Then? It happened. He demanded a trade in a lengthy letter posted on X (formerly Twitter). So: What the heck happened here? Let's discuss: Micah Parsons' contract situation He's set to make over $24 million this year, but given the long list of his accomplishments, Parsons wants a new contract that will pay him what he deserves before he hits free agency. It's that simple. Jerry Jones' comments probably didn't help He took a random shot at Parsons before camp started. Micah Parsons still wanted to be with the Cowboys ... That is, until now. Will Jerry Jones and the Cowboys give in and trade Micah Parsons? Or will they give into his contract demands? Pure speculation here: Feels like this is one of those cases where Parsons has made his move, and maybe Jones realizes he could no longer play around and could offer a sizeable new deal. But if Parsons is truly done with the Cowboys? Let the phone calls to the front office begin! This article originally appeared on For The Win: Why Micah Parsons requested a trade?

NFL on the verge of selling media assets to ESPN for an equity stake in the network, AP source says
The NFL and ESPN are expected to announce an agreement next week under which most of the league's significant media holdings will go to the sports network. People familiar with the transaction said the multibillion-dollar deal would give the NFL an equity stake in ESPN. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been finalized. It was first reported by The Athletic. The NFL and ESPN had no comment. The NFL has been trying to sell its media properties for nearly five years. ESPN and the league have been involved in on-again, off-again talks for the past three years. The proposed move comes as ESPN is expected to soon launch its direct-to-consumer service, likely before the end of August. The service would give cord cutters access to all of ESPN's programs and networks for $29.99 per month. Most cable, satellite and viewers who have streaming services will receive the service for free as part of their subscription. ESPN would get access to the popular RedZone channel, as well as NFL Network and an additional seven regular-season games (six international and a Saturday afternoon late-season contest). A couple of weeks ago, ESPN announced that NFL Network host Rich Eisen's three-hour program would air on ESPN Radio as well as stream on Disney+ and ESPN+. 'The Rich Eisen Show' is not affiliated with NFL Network. ESPN has carried NFL games since 1987 and 'Monday Night Football' since 2006. Under the current TV contract, it will have the 2027 and 2031 Super Bowls for the first time. NFL Network started in November 2003 and was the second major pro league to have its own network. NBA TV started in 1999, MLB Network in 2009 and NHL Network in the United States in 2007. ___ AP NFL:
