Arrowheadlines: Travis Kelce could join elite group in 2025

Yahoo09-07-2025
A free agent ahead of what would be his 14th NFL season, Gilmore is still hopeful he'll find a place to lace up the cleats once again.
'I want to play this year, it's just got to be the right situation,' he said on The Money Down podcast. 'It's got to be the right situation for me. I'm not just gonna sign anywhere. … I still love the game. I still can contribute. It's just got to be the right place.'
Gilmore is a five-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro, though his last trip to the Pro Bowl came in 2021 and most recent recognition as an All-Pro cornerback came in 2019, the same season as his DPOY honor.
His coverage ability took a dip in his age-34 season with the Vikings, and his 60.4 PFF grade in that category marked his third-worst of his career. However, he remains largely durable, and last year contributed an interception, nine passes defensed and 56 tackles to Minnesota's fifth-ranked scoring defense.
Regardless of any steps lost, Gilmore could be an asset on the right team, a veteran leader with 173 starts under his belt, still capable delivering a game-changing play.

Dzeko scores, Ndoye worry and Cancellieri shines: friendly match roundup 👀

There's less and less time until the start of the 2025/26 season, and many Serie A teams have already taken to the field in their first friendlies. Today, six clubs from our championship played, and all of them achieved a win that gives them confidence. Bologna-Virtus Verona (7-0) Bologna overwhelmed Virtus Verona 7-0 in their second summer friendly. A match with no history, already closed in the first half with the goals of Lucumí (33′), Orsolini (36′), and Ferguson (40′). In the second half, El Azzouzi scored the fourth goal, followed by a gem from Immobile (78′), a beautiful free kick from Holm (81′), and the final seal from Dominguez in stoppage time. However, what sparked discussion was Lodovici's harsh intervention on Dan Ndoye in the early minutes. Hit on his left foot, the Swiss winger left the field limping and upset, heading directly to the locker room (HERE ARE THE DETAILS OF THE INJURY). Fiorentina-Fiorentina U20 (8-0) Good seasonal debut for Stefano Pioli's Fiorentina, who easily beat the Primavera team 8-0 in their first summer friendly. A useful test to accumulate minutes and start experimenting with the first tactical solutions in view of the new season. Dodô stood out, scoring the first goal and appearing in great condition. First Viola goal, instead, for Dzeko, who scored the third goal after Kean's double. In the second half, several young players stood out, including Jacopo Fazzini: goal, assist, and a lot of personality for him, and Ndour, who scored a hat-trick. Lazio-Lazio U20 (3-0) Good seasonal debut for Sarri's Lazio, who beat the Primavera 3-0 in the first test at Formello. Pedro unlocked the match at 42' with his classic left-footed shot on Noslin's assist, closing a first half without great emotions. In the second half, Cancellieri shone with a great goal from outside at 68', while Basic scored the third goal at 90' on Belahyane's invitation. A useful friendly to verify the condition and start testing the mechanisms in view of the new season. Successes also for Parma, Pisa, and Verona Not only Serie A big teams. Today, three other Serie A teams took to the field, and all of them found success. Cuesta's Parma won 3-2 against the Under 20 team, while Verona and Pisa thrashed Rovereto (9-0) and the Valle d'Aosta representative team (7-0), respectively.

JC Tretter resigns from NFL Players Association

First, Lloyd Howell. Now, JC Tretter. In a lengthy interview that was posted earlier this hour, Tretter tells Jonathan Jones of that Tretter is resigning from the NFL Players Association. The former union president had returned last year, as the NFLPA's chief strategy officer. "Over the last couple days, it has gotten very, very hard for my family," Tretter said. "And that's something I can't deal with. So, the short bullet points are: I have no interest in being [executive director]. I have no interest in being considered; I've let the executive committee know that. I'm also going to leave the NFLPA in the coming days because I don't have anything left to give the organization." But Tretter was a candidate to become the interim executive director. And Pablo Torre's reporting pointed to a broader strategy by Tretter to eventually succeed Lloyd Howell as the full-time, non-interim leader of the union. "I want to get my story out there, and I don't want it to look like this was sour grapes or I didn't get the job and I wanted the job," Tretter said. "All I want to do is tell my story and then go be with my family." He did indeed get his story out there. It comes off as a one-way effort from Tretter to provide his version on anything and everything, with little if any pointed questions or followup. "I'm not resigning because what I've been accused of is true," Tretter said. "I'm not resigning in disgrace. I'm resigning because this has gone too far for me and my family, and I've sucked it up for six weeks. And I felt like I've been kind of left in the wind taking shots for the best of the organization. . . . "I got to the point this morning where I woke up and I realized, like, I am going to keep dying on this fucking sword forever of, I'll never, ever be able to do what's best for me. And I will always pick what's best for the organization. And in the end, what's the organization done for me? Like, nothing. "I've been a bullet shield for six weeks for them where everything that's been controversial, it just all dumps down on me, and I've had nothing to fucking do with it. And that's when I was like, I'm done taking bullets for the [organization] on stuff I wasn't a part of and did not do." Or course, he did badmouth Russell Wilson after he failed to get a fully-guaranteed deal. (Tretter says he called Wilson a "fucking loser" in a text message to former NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith.) Also, Tretter suggested that disgruntled players should fake injuries, sparking a grievance the NFLPA lost in a slam-dunk ruling. So his hands aren't entirely clean. Even without the application of any elbow grease as to the various positions he took in his comments to CBS. Either way, now ends Tretter's time with the union. Since the NFLPA didn't previously have a chief strategy officer, it may not replace him. For now, the primary challenge becomes hiring an interim executive director.
