<p>The San Francisco 49ers announced Tuesday that tight end <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/72637" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/72637">George Kittle</a> agreed to terms on a four-year extension.</p><p>Kittle's new deal is worth $76.4 million and includes $40 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL, according to <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1917176365075595689">NFL Network's Ian Rapoport</a>. His reported $19.1-million annual salary eclipses the $19 million earned by Arizona Cardinals star <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/174071" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/174071">Trey McBride</a>.</p><p>The 31-year-old Kittle continued to prove that he's among the best players at his position in 2024. He led the Niners with 78 catches for 1,106 receiving yards and eight touchdowns last season.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The extension comes just days after Kittle showed up to the Niners' facility to take part in the team's voluntary workout amid speculation he was holding out for a new deal.</p><p>The six-time Pro Bowler denied that his absence for the start of the offseason program had anything to do with contract negotiations. He was set to enter the final year of a five-year, $75-million extension he signed in 2020 and was due to carry a $22-million cap hit in 2025.</p><p>Kittle is among just five tight ends to post four or more 1,000-yard campaigns. The Iowa product has recorded 7,380 career yards on 538 receptions and 45 touchdowns over eight seasons with the Niners.</p><p>The 49ers have seen the departure of several starters this offseason. <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/87611" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/87611">Deebo Samuel</a>, <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/68677" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/68677">Javon Hargrave</a>, <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/174345" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/174345">Jordan Mason</a>, and <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/72905" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/72905">Leonard Floyd</a> are among the players who have parted ways with the organization in recent months.</p><p>The 49ers' focus will now likely turn to negotiating an extension for quarterback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/174189" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/174189">Brock Purdy</a>. The 2022 seventh-round pick is due to earn $5.3 million in base salary next season, according to <a href="https://overthecap.com/player/brock-purdy/10307">Over the Cap</a>. Standout linebacker <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/89985" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/89985">Fred Warner</a> is also eyeing a new deal despite having two years remaining on his contract.</p>

<p>The Washington Commanders agreed to a deal with the District of Columbia to build a new stadium at the site of RFK Stadium, the club and Mayor Muriel E. Bowser announced Monday.</p><p>"We are thrilled to welcome the Commanders back home to the sports capital," Bowser said in a <a href="https://www.commanders.com/news/mayor-bowser-and-washington-commanders-announce-historic-deal-to-bring-the-team-home">statement</a> Monday. "We said that we could do it all - Commanders, housing, park space, recreation, retail, entertainment, and more - and, together, that's what we are delivering."</p><p>The new stadium will have a capacity of roughly 65,000 seats. It will also have a roof, unlike the Commanders' current stadium, so it can have events all year long. Bowser is optimistic a new stadium would help attract major sporting events such as the Super Bowl, Final Four, and major concerts.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Primary owner Josh Harris previously mentioned his desire to open a new stadium by 2030, which is now the expected opening year for the new building. The Commanders' contract to play at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, runs through 2027. The club has the flexibility to extend the deal until the completion of a new stadium since it owns both the stadium and land.</p><p>The Commanders will invest $2.7 billion into the project. Government funding, bonds, and other investors are expected to contribute more than $1 billion combined for the stadium, parking, and the surrounding area.</p><p>The Commanders considered the potential of remaining in Landover and building a new venue at the site of their current stadium. Virginia was also considered but wasn't considered a viable option as the decision-making process developed. The team has practiced in Ashburn, Virginia, dating back to 1992.</p><p>Washington's NFL franchise played at RFK Stadium from 1961-96, winning three Super Bowls.</p><p>The Commanders are coming off one of the most successful seasons in nearly three decades.

The Saints then drafted Louisville's <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/210047" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/210047">Tyler Shough</a> with the 40th selection.

<p>The Kansas City Chiefs are tabling contract negotiations with offensive guard <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/161967" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/161967">Trey Smith</a> until after the 2025 NFL Draft.</p><p>"Hopefully we get that done. There's no lack of interest or will or desire on our end," general manager Brett Veach said Thursday, per <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/chiefs-gm-brett-veach-no-secret-we-want-to-get-trey-smith-locked-up-long-term">NFL.com's Kevin Patra</a>. "There's no secret there that we'd like to get Trey locked up."</p><p>Smith has developed into a reliable piece of Kansas City's offensive line after being drafted in the sixth round of the 2021 draft. The Tennessee product has started 67 regular season games and 13 postseason contests through four seasons. The Chiefs placed the franchise tag on Smith in February, making him the highest-paid guard in the league with a one-year deal worth $23.4 million. Both sides have until July 15 to work out a multi-year extension, at which point Smith will have to play out next season on a one-year tender.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Kansas City is focused on fortifying its offensive line after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

"They're really hard to come by."</p><p>Veach also noted that <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/173980" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/173980">George Karlaftis</a> and <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/173979" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/173979">Trent McDuffie</a> could potentially land an extension this offseason. While the Chiefs can pick up the fifth-year options on both Karlaftis and McDuffie's contracts for the 2026 season before the May 1 deadline, they're prioritizing new deals for both players.</p><p>"Once this (draft) process ends, we'll be in discussions with Trey, trying to get him done, and then I'm sure at some point here (with) George and Trent," Veach said, per Patra.</p><p>The Chiefs hold eight selections in the NFL draft, including the No. 31 overall pick, and have not ruled out trading out of the first round after giving first-round grades to only 12 to 13 prospects.</p><p>"I know that I've shown to be more aggressive, but I'm certainly open to (trading back)," Veach said, according to <a href="https://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/article304429116.html">The Kansas City Star's Jesse Newell</a>. "And if it makes sense for us, and we can acquire additional picks, yeah, I'd be all for it."</p>

<p>Jake Paul has lined up his next fight.</p><p>Paul is set to face former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in a cruiserweight bout June 28 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, Most Valuable Promotions told <a href="https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/44732270/jake-paul-face-former-champion-julio-cesar-chavez-jr-june-28">ESPN's Andreas Hale</a>.</p><p>The 10-round fight will be broadcast on DAZN pay-per-view and will be co-promoted by MVP and Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy promotions. </p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>"Five years ago, I stepped into the ring for my pro debut after a single amateur fight, and every fight since has been a step towards becoming world champion. I just defeated the baddest man on the planet, and now I'm going against a former champion who conman Canelo couldn't finish," Jake Paul said in a statement.</p><p>Paul's had a tough time finding his next opponent ever since defeating 58-year-old ex-heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in November. The YouTuber-turned-boxer appeared to have reached a deal to face superstar fighter Canelo Álvarez, only to have the reigning super-middleweight champion close a multi-fight deal with Riyadh Season instead. He was also <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///news/3246575" href="https://thescore.com/news/3246575">reportedly</a> in talks with Gervonta Davis about an exhibition fight before "Tank" faced Lamont Roach Jr. in March.</p><p>"The Problem Child" owns a 11-1 record as a professional, with seven of those victories coming via knockout. Paul's lone loss came in a split-decision defeat against Tommy Fury in February 2023.</p><p>Chavez, 39, held the WBC middleweight title from 2011-12 and successfully defended that belt three times. He owns a lifetime record of 54-6-1 with one no-contest and 34 knockout victories.</p><p>The Mexico native's most recent fight was a six-round unanimous win over ex-MMA star Uriah Hall this past July, a bout that was on the undercard of Paul's tilt against Mike Perry. However, that win was Chavez's first fight in three years.</p><p>"First of all, I will show what I can do now that everything is in the right place in my life - mentally and physically," Chavez said. "I feel rejuvenated and 10 years younger. Second, I want to thank MVP for taking the risk of fighting me. Unfortunately for their 'Problem Child,' they're going to have a big problem this June - one they won't know how to resolve."</p><p>The co-main event will feature unified cruiserweight champion Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez (47-1) defending his titles against former champion Yuniel Dorticos (27-2).</p>

<p>A clash between welterweight standouts Vicente Luque and Kevin Holland is being added to UFC 316 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on June 7, the promotion announced Friday. </p><p>Luque (23-10-1) will step into the Octagon for the first time since securing a first-round submission win over Themba Gorimbo at UFC 310 last December. The 33-year-old was able to rebound from a TKO loss to Joaquin Buckley in March 2024. </p><p>Luque was scheduled to fight Nick Diaz on two separate occasions in 2024, but Diaz withdrew from both contests. </p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The 33-year-old enjoyed a four-fight win streak that included wins over Randy Brown and Michael Chiesa between 2020 and 2021. In 2022, Luque dropped back-to-back bouts to Belal Muhammad and Geoff Neal.</p><p>Holland (27-13, 1 NC) continues to be one of the more active fighters in the promotion. The 32-year-old veteran will take on his third fight in 2025 after being submitted by middleweight Reinier de Ridder in January. He was able to bounce back after returning to the 170-pound competition by scoring a unanimous decision win over Gunnar Nelson in March. </p><p>The clash of welterweights joins an impressive card that includes a fight for the women's bantamweight title between challenger Kayla Harrison and champion Julianna Pena.

<p>Free-agent quarterback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/747" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/747">Aaron Rodgers</a> is considering every option, including retirement, following his release from the New York Jets this offseason.</p><p>"I'm open to anything and attached to nothing," Rodgers said Thursday on "The Pat McAfee Show," per <a href="https://x.com/bepryor/status/1912919726902116575">ESPN's Brooke Pryor</a>. "Retirement could still be a possibility."</p><p>"I'm at a different phase in my life," Rodgers <a href="https://x.com/bepryor/status/1912918944538558474">added</a>. "I'm 41 years old. I'm in a serious relationship. I have off-the-field stuff going on that requires my attention."</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Rodgers described his meeting with New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn as brief after flying from California to the team's headquarters. He said the coach left abruptly early in their conversation, returned with general manager Darren Mougey, and told Rodgers "20 seconds in" that the club would head in a new direction at quarterback, according to <a href="https://x.com/ZackBlatt/status/1912920918181187681">The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt</a>.</p><p>"I've had a lot of great conversations with a lot of teams. Not one of those was the Jets," Rodgers said, per <a href="https://x.com/bepryor/status/1912919247489028499">Pryor</a>. "That wasn't a great conversation."</p><p>Rodgers was acquired in a trade from the Green Bay Packers in April 2023 to help the Jets become playoff contenders. However, Rodgers' two years with New York were underwhelming: He missed the entire 2023 campaign after tearing his left Achilles in the season opener, and although he returned in 2024 to pass for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns, he was largely inconsistent.</p><p>Rodgers said he was thankful for his time with the Jets and praised vice chairman Christopher W. Johnson and some staff members, but he summarized the organization as a work in progress.</p><p>"There are obviously things that need to get fixed over there," Rodgers said, per <a href="https://x.com/RichCimini/status/1912921838050484247">ESPN's Rich Cimini</a>.</p><p>The 10-time Pro Bowler confirmed that he has spoken with the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, and Pittsburgh Steelers - and all three clubs' head coaches - since his release. However, he<strong> </strong>maintained that his offseason priority has been his personal life and denied speculation that he's waiting for an offer from the Vikings.</p><p>The future Hall of Famer has been linked to the Steelers throughout the offseason after visiting the team's facility and meeting with head coach Mike Tomlin, general manager Omar Khan, and quarterbacks coach Tom Arth.</p><p>Pittsburgh currently has<strong> </strong>an unsettled quarterback room after both <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/161671" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/161671">Justin Fields</a> (Jets) and <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/12258" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/12258">Russell Wilson</a> (Giants) signed with new teams in free agency. <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/83531" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/83531">Mason Rudolph</a> and <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/174124" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/174124">Skylar Thompson</a> are the only passers on Pittsburgh's roster ahead of the the 2025 draft.</p><p>Despite visiting with Steelers personnel and seeing the facility, Rodgers remains a free agent.

<p>Legendary analyst and former head coach Lee Corso will retire from College GameDay after his final show Aug. 30, having been a fixture on the program since its 1987 debut, ESPN announced Thursday.</p><p>"My family and I will be forever indebted for the opportunity to be part of ESPN and College GameDay for nearly 40 years," Corso said in a statement. "I have a treasure of many friends, fond memories, and some unusual experiences to take with me into retirement. ...</p><p>"ESPN has been exceptionally generous to me, especially these past few years. They accommodated me and supported me, as did my colleagues in the early days of College GameDay. Special thanks to Kirk Herbstreit for his friendship and encouragement. And lest I forget, the fans … truly a blessing to share this with them."</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Corso, who turns 90 on Aug. 7, is known for his one-line quips and representing his team picks with headgear.

<p>Syracuse head coach Fran Brown was upset with wide receiver Trebor Pena after he requested more NIL money and expressed concern about the Orange's quarterback situation prior to entering the transfer portal.</p><p>"We paid him enough," Brown told "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP6_fgW7_ts&amp;t=190s">Cuse Sports Talk</a>" on Wednesday. "He was going to get paid more. ... But there were some numbers that were asked to me that I didn't feel I would be able to do and move on. Of course, I treated him right. I took care of him, done everything that was needed. I just said, 'Yo, you've got to go.'"</p><p>Brown added, "A lot of times people think the grass greener on the other side, and then they get there and they find out it was turf."</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Pena left the program Tuesday ahead of the spring transfer window, which opened Wednesday. The 6-foot, 184-pound wideout led Syracuse with 84 receptions for 941 yards and nine touchdowns last season.</p><p>While Brown praised Pena for his talent and production, he doesn't believe that the wideout was focused on leading a young Syracuse team next season.</p><p>"He's about him, to make sure he can do well because this is his last (year)," Brown said.</p><p>Brown also lamented Pena's desire for a raise after a strong 2024 season, saying that only Ohio State star <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///ncaaf/players/195944" href="https://thescore.com/ncaaf/players/195944">Jeremiah Smith</a> is worthy of a lofty salary at the college level.</p><p>"Sometimes people be asking for an outrageous number," Brown added. "You not about to make more than every coordinator. ... If you're going to make $2 million at wide receiver, that's the little homie over at Ohio State. Ain't nobody else making that money. (I'm not) giving no wide receiver no $2 million in college. Nah, that ain't me."</p><p>Brown was also miffed after Pena questioned whether LSU transfer quarterback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///ncaaf/players/184839" href="https://thescore.com/ncaaf/players/184839">Rickie Collins</a> was ready to assume the starting role next season.</p><p>"That ain't your freaking job to be thinking that," Brown said. "I ain't got time for you to be doing all that stuff."</p><p>He added, "When they start trying to do your job and think too much and all, you've got to go. It's no point in them being there."</p><p>Brown guided the Orange to a 10-3 record in his head coaching debut last year. Syracuse earned double-digit wins for the first time since 2018 after defeating Washington State 52-35 in the Holiday Bowl.</p>

However, the swap reportedly fell through due to disagreements over trade compensation and Alexander's unwillingness to restructure his contract to fit the other club's salary cap.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>The Packers star has drawn additional interest since the scouting combine in February, but suitors are waiting to see if the Packers cut Alexander, Silverstein adds.</p><p>Alexander is set to earn a base salary of $16.1 million and carries a cap hit of $24.6 million in 2025, per <a href="https://overthecap.com/player/jaire-alexander/6903">Over the Cap</a>.
