NFL star drops bombshell trade hint and hits out at his team after missing out on the Super Bowl last season
Washington Commanders star Terry McLaurin has dropped a bombshell trade hint amid his contract standoff with the NFL side. McLaurin - who is viewed as one of the best wide receivers in the league - is entering the final year of his current deal with the Commanders, which he signed in 2022. The former Ohio State star has been a mainstay in the side since being drafted in 2019 but notably elevated his game last year, despite missing out on the Super Bowl. As a result, McLaurin, 29, feels as though he's done enough to earn a new deal and made that clear as he spoke to press on Tuesday afternoon. He said: 'I've been pretty frustrated, I'm not going to lie. Everything that has transpired up until this point has been disappointing and frustrating. 'I want to continue my career here. I've created my life here. My wife and I bought our first home here. This has been somewhere I've always wanted to be'. He later added: 'Without any progressive discussions, it's hard to see me stepping on the field.' McLaurin, 29, did not take part in the Commanders' minicamp in an attempt to make a statement to franchise chiefs over his contract impasse. Last season, McLaurin exploded into life and produced 1,096 receiving yards paired with a career-high 13 touchdowns for the Commanders. Despite the impressive performances, the franchise narrowly missed out on a place in the Super Bowl after losing the NFC Championship Game to the Philadelphia Eagles. McLaurin's bombshell statement comes just one day after New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson reached an agreement over a new four-year, $130million deal. For context, McLaurin signed a three-year contract extension worth $71 million - with a $28 million signing bonus - back in 2022. Wilson's new deal, which will see him bank an estimated $90m guaranteed, makes him the first receiver in NFL history to earn an average of over $31m per year after playing only three seasons in the league. ESPN was first to break the news of the 24-year-old's extension, which keeps him with the Jets through 2030. Wilson is gearing up for his fourth season in New York after being selected with the 10th overall pick in the first round of the 2022 draft.

Nick Sirianni rips criticism of Eagles carrying Jalen Hurts, lauds QB's ‘selflessness'
Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni ripped the idea that the team carried quarterback Jalen Hurts to its Super Bowl title in February. 'I think that's bulls—,' Sirianni said, per NBC Sports Philadelphia, at a roundtable interview ahead of training camp. 'I mean, (Hurts) plays the most important position in all of sports. And it's the most ultimate team game there is. And what I admire about him is his selflessness of doing anything we need to do to win.' Advertisement Hurts has received criticism for not ranking among the top signal callers in quarterback ratings, as well as the Eagles' focus on their ground game last season. Philadelphia leaned on star running back Saquon Barkley, who finished with career highs in rushing attempts (345) and rushing yards (2,005) to go along with 13 touchdowns last season. Barkley earned his third Pro Bowl selection and won Offensive Player of the Year. Hurts, 26, logged 2,903 passing yards in the regular season, his lowest total since his 2020 rookie season when he wasn't the regular starter. He threw for 18 touchdowns with five interceptions in 15 regular-season games, but added five touchdowns with 726 passing yards in the Eagles' five playoff games, including their Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Two of Hurts' postseason touchdowns came in the Super Bowl, where he led Philadelphia to a 40-22 win over the reigning champion Chiefs and earned Super Bowl MVP. It marked the Eagles' second trip to the Super Bowl in Hurts' five-year NFL career after Philadelphia lost to the Chiefs 38-35 in February 2023. Sirianni argued that other successful NFL quarterbacks have benefited from being surrounded by great teammates, and he named other Super Bowl-winning duos. 'One of the reasons I love football so much is that it takes everybody to accomplish your goals,' Sirianni said. 'Listen, you name great quarterbacks, you can go ahead and start naming great quarterbacks. I'll tell you their great receivers and their great defense. 'You know? Whether it's Brady with (Rob) Gronkowski or Brady's defenses, Mahomes with (Travis) Kelce, Steve Young with Jerry Rice. The list goes on and on and on.'

Emmanuel Acho breaks silence after getting 'cancelled' by FS1
The list of on-air names reportedly let go at FS1 includes Joy Taylor and LeSean McCoy after news broke on Monday of the network canceling three of its shows: Speak, Breakfast Ball and The Facility. That list apparently included Emmanuel Acho, the former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker. The source? Acho himself. "In sports, when you're not good enough, you get cut," he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "In TV, when you're not good enough, you get cancelled. I'm not going to try and come to y'all with some 'Big announcements soon. Stay tuned' because I don't actually know what's coming. But what I do know is I trust God." Hopefully he finds another gig soon. Some of his other former colleagues like Chase Daniel and McCoy have tweeted about the FS1 moves, while others -- like Taylor -- haven't addressed them yet.
