Dec 2, 2023; Las Vegas, NV, USA; Boise State Broncos head coach Spencer Danielson celebrates after 44-20 victory over the UNLV Rebels in the Mountain West Championship at Allegiant Stadium. Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports/ File Photo Purchase Licensing Rights, opens new tab Boise State coach Spencer Danielson finalized a new five-year, $11 million contract after leading the Broncos to the College Football Playoff last season, ESPN reported Tuesday. The average annual value of $2.2 million reportedly doubles the salary Danielson earned in his first full season running the program in 2024. The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here. Danielson, 36, guided the Broncos to a Mountain West Conference title and finished 12-2 following a 31-14 loss in the CFP to Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31. He was named the MWC Coach of the Year. Danielson is 15-3 overall, including his tenure as Boise State's interim coach in late 2023 following the firing of Andy Avalos after a 5-5 start that season. His new deal will start at $2 million per year and increase by $100,000 each year during the five-year term. The only Mountain West coach who earns more annually is UNLV's Dan Mullen at $3.5 million for 2025. Danielson has been coaching at Boise State since 2017 when he arrived as a graduate assistant. He served as the defensive coordinator from 2021-23. --Field Level Media Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles., opens new tab

Will Bears Move Up In The Draft To Land A Cornerstone Player?
GLENDALE, ARIZONA - DECEMBER 31: Ashton Jeanty #2 of the Boise State Broncos runs the ball during ... More the fourth quarter against the Penn State Nittany Lions in the 2024 Vrbo Fiesta Bowl at State Farm Stadium on December 31, 2024 in Glendale, Arizona. Penn State defeated Boise State 31-14. (Photo by) There's no way to know what the Bears are going to do with their first-round pick in Thursday night's draft. If you knew how the first nine were going to fall you could make an educated guess about Ryan Poles' thinking with No. 10, but even then it would be a guessing game. This much seems certain: Poles' focus is on improving the offense around second-year quarterback Caleb Williams, who was outplayed by Jayden Daniels as a rookie. The players of the highest interest for the Bears seem to be running back Ashton Jeanty, tackle Will Campbell and tight end Tyler Warren, with the perceived second-best tackle, Armand Membou, possibly also a major consideration. But if those standouts are flying off the board, Poles may have to make an uncomfortable decision to move up in the draft before they're all gone. The options are to stay put and take the best available player, regardless of position — most likely looking to a defensive player — or make trades to move down in the draft, where the price wouldn't be as high to take a less celebrated prospect. If Poles wanted to move downward, he could turn the seven picks he's holding into 10 or even 11 players. One projection compiled using Pro Football Focus' draft simulator showed the Bears with 11 players, including running back Omarion Hampton at 22, tackle Josh Conerly Jr at 31 and tight end Elijah Arroyo at 65. It's questionable whether those players will last that long, but you get the idea. But what if Poles covets Jeanty, Campbell, Membou and Warren so much he wants to move up in the draft? That would mean he'd have to be creative to have seven or more picks when the draft ends Saturday. The most realistic possibility might be the Charlotte Panthers, a familiar trade partner for Poles who this year are holding nine picks. The issue for General Manager Dan Morgan is that there's a gap of 49 picks between their first-rounder and their second-rounder, which started out with the Rams. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reported the Panthers are looking for more picks. The Bears are holding two second-rounders (39, which came to the Bears in the swap of the first overall pick in 2023, and 41), which would make them a good fit if Poles has a chance to land Jeanty, Campbell, Membou or Warren. Trades during the draft come in a variety of ways but rarely stray too far from the chart NFL Hall of Famer Jimmy Johnson drew up. He assigned a value to each of the first 224 picks (although this year's draft runs 257 picks). The best fit for the Panthers and Bears has Chicago sending Carolina the 10th and 41st picks this year for the eighth this year and a second-rounder in 2026. Another combination that makes some sense is that the Bears send Carolina the 41st overall for the 74th overall after swapping picks in the first round. The Johnson chart says the Bears could also ask for the 114th overall but you wonder if Morgan would do a three-for-two swap in terms of picks. That answer lies in how badly he wants to add a pick in the second round rather than wait for his one in the third to come around. Jacksonville (No. 5), Las Vegas (No. 6), the Jets (No.7) and New Orleans (No. 9) are also candidates for potential upward moves by the Bears. The cost of doing such business is most expensive with the Jaguars and least with the Saints. The Johnson chart says the cost for the Bears to move into the fifth spot would be swapping the 41st overall — the second of Chicago's two second-rounders — for the 107th overall, which is the first of Jacksonville's two fourth-rounders. Poles would have to be awfully motivated to make this move but don't rule it out. Don't rule anything out, for that matter. The first two hours on Thursday night are going to be fascinating.

Ashton Jeanty Reveals His Projected Target Range in NFL Draft
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. For months now, it has seemed inevitable that Boise State star running back Ashton Jeanty would end up somewhere in the top 10. With the Raiders being the most highly projected suitor for some time now at No. 6, as well as recent projections for Jeanty to each of New England, Jacksonville and Chicago, it seems somewhat of a lock. But according to Jeanty, the highest possible outcome for him still seems to be Las Vegas. Running back Ashton Jeanty #2 of the Boise State Broncos runs during the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl against the Penn State Nittany Lions at State Farm Stadium on December 31, 2024. Running back Ashton Jeanty #2 of the Boise State Broncos runs during the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl against the Penn State Nittany Lions at State Farm Stadium on December 31, 2024."I think the earliest that I will go is No. 6," Jeanty told Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. "That's my belief and that would be the Raiders at that pick or somebody else trading up to to get in front of them. Possibly, I think that's what's gonna happen. That said, it also appears the worst case scenario seems to be Jeanty falling into the lap of his dream team with the Dallas Cowboys at No. 12. "I would say No. 12. Yeah, I would think that would be the floor," Jeanty told Florio when asked about the lowest possible outcome. "That's them Cowboys." Jeanty, of course, has long been connected to the Cowboys as well, thanks in part to his open campaigning to end up with a star on his helmet. After all, as a native of Frisco, TX, he grew up as a fan of America's team. "I think it would be dope, a lot of great people there, a lot of talented players," Jeanty said in February," via "Potentially to be a part of that, I think that would be a great opportunity... It would be special, growing up in Frisco, spending a lot of time out there, I think it would be cool to have the star on my helmet again. Playing for Lone Star, I had a star on my helmet as well, so it would be a dope moment if that were to happen." He will find out one way or the other on Thursday night, when the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft officially kicks off.
