Left the season early, I was hurt. My offseason started way earlier, so that's really essentially why I'm ahead on top of working with (director of rehabilitation Britt Brown), working with this training staff, and (Prescott's personal trainer) Luke(Wilson).'
Dallas Cowboys' three young wide receivers, George Pickens, Jonathan Mingo, and CeeDee Lamb, will serve as the best catchers for veteran quarterback Dak Prescott
This time around, the 2022 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year has two young wide receivers, which he's never had in his 9 long seasons with the Dallas Cowboys! 24-year-olds George Pickens and Jonathan Mingo. And who can forget their own 26-year-old WR CeeDee Lamb? Even A. J. Brown is excited for Dak Prescott!
Brown shared with Pro Football Talk, 'I like that, I ain't gonna lie.
We're going to have to worry about them, for sure. I like the trade. I like the competition, you know.
I like George Pickens, I like CeeDee Lamb. And they collab. It's going to be exciting to watch because all that does is bring the best out of us. So, if we know how they're coming, we are going to have to step it up.'
Finally, the 32-year-old quarterback, Dak Prescott, will throw the gridiron football to three young wide receivers, who may help him secure a touchdown! Something that the 2016 Super Bowl Most Outstanding Player awardee has missed the most in the 8 games of the 2024 NFL season due to his hamstring injury.

The 49ers complete trade to acquire edge rusher Bryce Huff from the Eagles for a mid-round pick
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The San Francisco 49ers have completed the trade with the Philadelphia Eagles for edge rusher Bryce Huff. Huff restructured his contract with the Eagles last week to help facilitate the trade that will send a 2026 mid-round pick to Philadelphia and the teams announced it on Monday, pending a physical. Huff was set to make $17 million in fully guaranteed money this year. The Eagles will pay $9.05 million of that with the 49ers on the hook for the remaining $7.95 million, ESPN reported last week. The move to acquire Huff gives San Francisco another needed option at edge rusher across from star Nick Bosa and reunites Huff with Robert Saleh, who was his head coach at the New York Jets during his most productive season in 2023. Huff had 10 sacks that season and recorded 67 pressures on just 334 pass rush snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. Huff translated that breakthrough season into a three-year, $51.1 million deal with the Eagles. He had only 2 1/2 sacks and 23 pressures in his one season in Philadelphia, missing five games with a wrist injury. He was then a healthy scratch in the Super Bowl. Huff was originally an undrafted free agent by the Jets in 2020 out of Memphis. He had 7 1/2 sacks in his first three seasons before the breakthrough campaign under Saleh in 2023. The Niners were in need of another pass rusher after cutting Leonard Floyd early in the offseason. They drafted Mykel Williams 11th overall in April but had no other defensive end who had a season with at least five sacks in the NFL. Yetur Gross-Matos is the only other edge rusher on the roster with extensive experience. Gross-Matos had four sacks last season in his first year with San Francisco. The Eagles have undergone significant changes at edge rusher this offseason with Brandon Graham retiring and Josh Sweat leaving to sign with Arizona in free agency. Philadelphia is counting on increased contributions from returning players Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt and has also signed Azeez Ojulari and Joshua Uche in free agency. /hub/nfl

Florida Panthers Captain Aleksander Barkov sets NHL record by winning Selke, King Clancy in the same year
Photo byAleksander Barkov just pulled off something no player in NHL history has ever done. The Florida Panthers captain clinched both the Selke Trophy and the King Clancy Memorial Trophy this year, a rare feat in itself—but made truly historic by achieving them in the same season. While other legends have won both at different points in their careers, Barkov is the first to sweep the awards together—cementing his place as not just an elite two-way player, but also a community leader off the ice. Aleksandar Barkov becomes first player to win Selke, King Clancy together For the third time in his career, Barkov claimed the Selke Trophy, awarded to the league's best defensive forward. Alongside it, he earned his first King Clancy Trophy, given for exceptional leadership and humanitarian efforts. While legends like Patrice Bergeron, Ron Francis, and Dave Poulin have won both over the course of their careers, none had managed to do it in a single season—until now. What made the moment even more special? Children from Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital surprised Barkov by presenting him with the awards themselves. 'Bringing the kids from Joe DiMaggio to announce it — it was great for sure,' Barkov shared. 'I'll remember that for the rest of my life.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Reflecting on his journey from a wide-eyed teenager to team captain, Barkov said, 'When I first got here I was just a young kid and the community kind of like accepted me here… So at some point in my career it was just a matter of time when I realized I should probably start giving something back.' His #BarkovScores4JoeD initiative has raised over $420,000 for the hospital since 2019, donating $1,600 per goal and $800 per assist. Coach Paul Maurice praised Barkov's quiet, genuine nature: 'It so fits his personality that it's done quietly, not on a website every day. It's not a photo op for Sasha.' Forward Sam Bennett added, 'He really is just the perfect human.' In another franchise first, Panthers teammate Sam Reinhart finished second in Selke voting—marking the first 1-2 Selke finish by teammates. As the Panthers gear up for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Oilers, Barkov's dual honor stands as a testament to leadership on and off the ice. And with his team rallying behind him, Florida fans are hoping there's even more history to write. Also Read: Top NHL prospect Matthew Schaefer returns from injury ahead of 2025 draft

Jonnu Smith eyes long-term future with Miami Dolphins despite trade rumors
Photo by Perry Knotts/Getty Jonnu Smith's future in Miami may be clouded by trade speculation, but his commitment to the Dolphins remains as strong as ever. The Pro Bowl tight end, fresh off a record-breaking season, has expressed a clear desire to stay put. According to his agent Drew Rosenhaus, Smith's heart—and home—are in Miami, where he has not only flourished on the field but also built a life off it. Despite the business side of the NFL looming large, Smith isn't looking for a change of scenery. Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith focused on staying in Miami for 2025 Despite putting up the best numbers of his eight-year NFL career, Jonnu Smith has been at the center of offseason trade discussions. Rosenhaus, speaking to WSVN-7, emphasized that the veteran tight end has no desire to leave Miami and hopes to continue his career in South Florida. "Here's what I will say on behalf of my client: Jonnu would definitely like to stay in Miami," Rosenhaus said. "That's his first choice. This is where he lives in the off-season. He had a record-breaking season last year. It was the best season ever for a Miami Dolphin tight end. "... He broke the team record for receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns for a tight end and was the team's single Pro Bowl player. He's an incredibly valuable part of this team. ... He went to college at FIU. His dream team is the Dolphins." Smith's 2024 campaign included 88 receptions, 884 yards, and eight touchdowns—setting new single-season franchise marks for a tight end. He outperformed his prior best season, also with Miami, and enters the second year of a two-year deal set to pay him $3.49 million in 2025. Financial considerations, however, could complicate things. His breakout has increased his value considerably, which may tempt Miami to explore trade options. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport weighed in during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, suggesting that moving high-priced cornerback Jalen Ramsey could make room to retain Smith. "Jonnu Smith is one [tight end teams are exploring]," Rapoport said. "It feels to me like he wants more money and would like to stay. ... Trading Ramsey might help Jonnu Smith get the contract he wants." Whether Jonnu Smith remains a Dolphin hinges on more than just loyalty—it's about cap space and future planning. But if it were up to the tight end, he's made his choice loud and clear: Miami is home. Also Read: Jamie Erdahl Leads All-Women 'Good Morning Football' Special on NFL Network
