🎙 Florian Thauvin says Tigres treated him badly
Florian Thauvin returned to the radar of Mexican fans after an interview with L'Èquipe, where he talked about his time with Tigres and made strong statements about the club and his departure.
"The club treated me badly. In Mexico, I hit rock bottom; they questioned my level to the point of firing me; it was hard to accept,' mentioned the Frenchman.
However, not all his time with the Monterrey team was negative, as the forward also acknowledged the U fans: "There I met fantastic people and fans."

Tigres announced Thauvin with great expectations after he joined the squad as a world champion. However, the story ended with little activity on the field and two lawsuits.

Maple Leafs, Golden Knights discussing trade for Mitch Marner's rights: Sources
The Vegas Golden Knights are discussing a trade to acquire the rights of pending unrestricted free agent Mitch Marner from the Toronto Maple Leafs, according to league sources, which would allow them to sign the All-Star winger before he hits the open market on Tuesday. If they acquire Marner, the Golden Knights would gain the ability to sign Marner to a maximum-length eight-year contract. If they wait until Tuesday, when free agency opens, the longest term they could give him will be seven years. Advertisement TSN's Darren Dreger was the first to report the potential move. Marner is one of Toronto's most accomplished players, sitting fifth on the all-time scoring list with 741 points at age 28. He was drafted No. 4 by his hometown team in 2015 and became an immediate fan favorite because of his creativity and elite playmaking ability. However, Marner also drew sharp criticism for the team's inability to get over the hump in the playoffs and started to chafe under that scrutiny. It became clear he could be eyeing a departure in free agency when he refused to engage in discussions on a contract extension with the Leafs throughout last season. He also refused to waive his no-movement clause at the March 7 trade deadline for a deal that would have sent him to the Carolina Hurricanes. Earlier this week, Leafs general manager Brad Treliving acknowledged to reporters that Marner was going to test the free-agent market. A trade to Vegas would be similar to the one the Hurricanes made at last year's draft, when they sent Jake Guentzel's rights to the Tampa Bay Lightning for a third-round pick after failing to get him to sign a contract. That allowed Guentzel to ink an eight-year deal with the Lightning, carrying a $9 million AAV.

BBC Sport: Saudi Pro League could offer big money Chelsea star exit from Stamford Bridge nightmare
Clubs in Saudi Arabia are monitoring the situation surrounding Joao Felix this summer according to journalist Nizaar Kinsella. Chelsea are once again set for a busy summer and have already completed the signing of Liam Delap, with more new faces expected to follow. Advertisement The Blues are in the market for a centre back, versatile forward and left winger as they look to strengthen Enzo Maresca's squad ahead of the new season. Saudi Pro League clubs monitoring Joao Felix Whilst incomings are important, outgoings are equally crucial this summer, and Chelsea have as many as ten players they are looking to offload. Despite only joining last summer from Atletico Madrid for £45m Felix falls into that category, and the 25-year-old spent the second half of the season on loan at AC Milan. Felix is set to leave Chelsea despite only joining last summer. (Photo by) Advertisement Milan made it very clear they wouldn't be signing Felix on a permanent basis, and the Portugal international managed just three goals and one assist in 21 appearances in all competitions. The Portuguese was left out of the Chelsea squad for the Club World Cup, and Felix has been linked with a return to former club Benfica. Progress on a new club for Felix has been slow, but Kinsella in his piece for BBC Sport has reported clubs in Saudi Arabia are monitoring his availability. It's unclear how much Chelsea would want for Felix or whether they would accept a loan, but Saudi are likely to offer them the highest transfer fee. Christopher Nkunku set to leave Felix isn't the only attacker heading for the Stamford Bridge exit door this summer, and it seems highly likely Christopher Nkunku will join him.

Could Commanders' Jayden Daniels Suffer 'C.J. Stroud Effect' In Year 2?
Could Commanders' Jayden Daniels Suffer 'C.J. Stroud Effect' In Year 2? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There isn't too much the Washington Commanders have to "worry" about when it comes to Jayden Daniels in Year 2, but one thing is the dreaded sophomore slump. Advertisement Players who often have a stellar rookie season sometimes struggle to replicate it due to a variety of reasons, including teams figuring out their tendencies, roster changes, or a combination of both. But there doesn't seem to be much concern about that happening with Jayden. Although the Houston Texans thought that about C.J. Stroud, who did regress a little in Year 2. For Fox Sports' Henry McKenna, in a "What Could Go Right, Wrong for Every NFC QB" scenario for 2025, Daniels goes full Stroud. "After seeing what happened to Stroud in Year 2, there's a growing sense of anxiety for sophomore quarterbacks," McKenna writes. "So could Daniels be the latest QB to fall prey to that sophomore slump? Well, yeah, absolutely. Remember that star receiver Terry McLaurin is locked in a contract battle with Washington. We've seen negotiations influence training camp reps — and, in turn, negatively impact QB-WR rapport. It's hard to sustain success in the NFL. Daniels' second year might be yet another example of that."

Advertisement Stroud actually won one more game in Year 2, still made the playoffs, and won a playoff game. Yes, his stats were down across the board, and his general play wasn't consistent, but we aren't sure if it was a "slump" of sorts. For Daniels, replicating his efforts from last year is going to be tough, after winning Offensive Rookie of the Year and making it to the NFC Championship game, so we have to be careful about expecting too much from a second-year quarterback. As bad as it sounds, a 10-7 season and making the playoffs is a "regression" for Daniels, but it would still be a good season, providing his level of play doesn't dip too much. Will Daniels be able to hold off the C.J. Stroud effect in 2025? That'll be the hope.
