Former Eagles CB James Bradberry to visit the Bills
Former Eagles CB James Bradberry to visit the Bills After a quiet start to the first and second waves, James Bradberry is in Buffalo to meet with the Bills on Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler reports.
The Eagles are retooling their defensive secondary. One day after releasing Darius Slay, the team released cornerback James Bradberry. Slay signed with the Steelers, Isaiah Rodgers with the Vikings, and Avonte Maddox signed with the Lions.
After a quiet start to the first and second waves, Bradberry is in Buffalo to meet with the Bills on Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler reports. Bills head coach Sean McDermott and General Manager Brandon Beane were both in the Panthers organization when Bradberry was drafted in 2016.
Placed on injured reserve with an Achilles injury after roster cutdown day at the end of training camp, Bradberry didn't play a down this season but was a vital help to Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean and will get a Super Bowl ring.
Bradberry was entering the final year of a three-year, $38 million extension signed after the 2022 season, and the Eagles would save $4.724 million in cap space if they designated Bradberry as a post-June 1 cut.

FIFA Club World Cup: Are immigration authorities working security at Orlando matches?
Federal immigration authorities may be part of the security forces at Orlando venues as the FIFA Club World Cup kicks off on Tuesday. But so far, officials at all levels haven't given a straight answer. The quadrennial event is expected to draw thousands of soccer fans to matches at Camping World Stadium and Inter&Co Stadium between some of the biggest clubs in the world, including European powerhouses Liverpool and Juventus. The tournament is being held in 11 cities across the U.S. until July 13. In a now-deleted social media post, United States Customs and Border Protection exclaimed its agents would be 'suited and booted ready to provide security for the first round of games', specifically mentioning the tournament's kickoff Saturday in Miami. Immigration and Customs Enforcement also told a Miami television station that its agents would be at the contest at Hard Rock Stadium and that all non-American citizens should carry proof of legal status. Both agencies are entities within the Department of Homeland Security and are primarily responsible for carrying out President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. While the administration has said it was going after the 'worst of the worst' undocumented immigrants – presumably those with violent felony records – in recent weeks, administration officials have pushed the agencies to vastly increase their arrest numbers, seeking to reach 3,000 per day. The games in Orlando are expected to include clubs from South Korea, Brazil, Portugal, New Zealand, England, Italy, South Africa and Mexico. The first scheduled match is June 17 at Inter&Co Stadium between Ulsan HD of South Korea vs. Mamelodi Sundowns FC of South Africa. A spokesperson for the City of Orlando said neither City Hall nor the police department knew if federal authorities would be on hand. A spokesperson for Florida Citrus Sports directed questions to the city. A FIFA spokesperson didn't respond to questions, nor did a spokesperson for ICE. FIFA President Gianni Infantino was asked this week about the potential presence of immigration officials at a media event in Miami, to which he said he wasn't worried. 'No, I don't have any concerns about anything in the sense that we are very attentive on any security question, of course the most important for us is to guarantee security for all the fans who come to the games, this is our priority,' he said, according to NBC 6. A spokesman for Customs didn't directly answer a question from the Orlando Sentinel about whether the agency would be in Orlando, but said it isn't uncommon for the agency to work security as part of massive sporting events. 'U.S. Customs and Border Protection is committed to working with our local and federal partners to ensure the FIFA Club World Cup 26 is safe for everyone involved, as we do with every major sporting event, including the Super Bowl,' the agency said in an unsigned statement. 'Our mission remains unchanged.' A follow-up question about whether that included immigration enforcement did not receive a response. rygillespie@

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attend Game 4 of Stanley Cup Final between Panthers and Oilers
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — There was bad blood at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers. Not just on the ice. Pop superstar Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce were among the celebrities that flocked to Amerant Bank Arena on Thursday to watch Game 4 of the final — with the 'Bad Blood' singer seen holding hands with Kelce as they headed to their seats. Advertisement And they were in attendance for a thrilling game. Edmonton came from down three goals in the first period to win it 5-4 in overtime, tying the series 2-2. Kelce, a Super Bowl-winning tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is a known hockey fan along with his brother Jason Kelce. And ever since Swift and Kelce began their high-profile romance in 2023, the 14-time Grammy Award winning singer has been known to pop in on big sporting events — including the last two Super Bowls — and cause an excited frenzy for fans. There were rumblings ahead of Thursday's game that the couple might attend the final. A helicopter landed near Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, ahead of the game. The VIP entrance to the area was also closed off and the media elevator was not available to be used for a period of time before pregame warmups began. Advertisement The pair was shown on the television broadcast during the first period of the game. Swift recently announced that she regained control over her entire body of work. In a lengthy note posted to her official website, Swift said that all the music she's ever made now belongs to her after she has purchased her catalog of recordings — originally released through Big Machine Records — from their most recent owner, the private equity firm Shamrock Capital. Over the last few years, Swift has been rerecording and releasing her early albums in an attempt to regain control of her music. Other celebs in attendance included former Miami Dolphins star defensive end Jason Taylor, who banged the drum before the game, and hockey great Jaromir Jagr. Miami Heat captain Bam Adebayo was joined by former Heat captain Udonis Haslem on the drum on Monday. ___ AP NHL playoffs: and Alanis Thames, The Associated Press

Micah Parsons: Waiting on contract extension is going to cost Cowboys more
No one can figure out what the Cowboys are doing by waiting to sign their star players to contract extensions. They have even edge rusher Micah Parsons puzzled. Parsons became eligible for a contract extension after the 2023 season. He still is waiting. The four-time Pro Bowler acknowledged he plans to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league, and with edge rushers T.J. Watt and Trey Hendrickson also awaiting contract extensions, Parsons said it's likely going to cost Jerry Jones more money. 'It's going to cost them more,' Parsons told Clarence Hill of All City DLLS on Thursday. Parsons and Jones confirmed to Hill they had a handshake deal in March, but Jones never called Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta, to finalize it. Parsons told Hill he has seen the deal Watt is seeking from the Steelers, and it is more than he and Jones discussed. Thus, Parsons expects that his final number will go higher than originally thought. The highest-paid non-quarterback is Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who is making $40.25 million annually. Parsons is hopeful of completing a deal before the Cowboys begin training camp on July 21. Otherwise, he said he will report but not practice. He is headed into the final year of his rookie deal scheduled to make $24 million on the fifth-year option.
