NFL Receiver Learns Final DUI Punishment
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has as of Wednesday reached a resolution in his DUI case.
Robinson, as first reported by TMZ, will avoid serving any jail time. But he has been sentenced to 36 months of probation and $390 fine.

Per the TMZ report, Robinson, 30, must also complete several programs as part of the sentencing.
Robinson - then a member of the Los Angeles Rams - was initially charged with the DUI on Nov. 25. He continued to play for the Rams at that time.
And what about consequences and punishment now?
The NFL commissioner, by virtue of the CBA, has the authority to literally administer and enforce any punishment on Robinson that he wishes.
Therefore, in play is a fine or a suspension of Robinson that can be enforced now that he is with the 49ers.
We have seen speculation that a three-game suspension is expected. But again, we have seen this sort of situation result in all varieties of punishment and non-punishment.

The 49ers are aware of the possibility of going without Robinson for a time and acquired him will full knowledge of the arrest.
Jauan Jennings is prepared to work as the Niners' No. 1 wide receiver with Pro Bowl wideout Brandon Aiyuk likely to open the season on the PUP list.

2025 Arizona Cardinals training camp roster preview: TE Josiah Deguara
We will preview every player on the Cardinals roster leading up to training camp. This is about TE Josiah Deguara. The Arizona Cardinals report to training camp on July 22 and begin the process of preparing for the regular season, forming the roster and determining starting jobs and roles on the team. Leading up to the start of camp, we will take a look at every player on the offseason roster, their background, their contract, their play in 2024, questions they face and their roster outlook. This focuses on tight end Josiah Deguara. Josiah Deguara background, 2024 season Deguara enters his sixth NFL season and first with the Cardinals. He was drafted om the third round in 2020 by the Green Bay Packers out of Cincinnati. He spent four seasons with the Packers, having his most productive season in 2021 when he had 25 receptions for 245 yards and two touchdowns. After four seasons with Green Bay, he played last season for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He played 87 offensive snaps in 15 games, catching three passes for 14 yards. His offensive playing time has declined every years since 2021, but he has turned into a core special teams player, logging at least 200 special teams snaps for three straight seasons. Josiah Deguara 2025 contract details, cap hit Deguara signed a one-year vet-minimum deal for 2025 for $1.17 million. It is a qualifying veteran contract, so the cap hit will count only $1.03 million. There were no guarantees, not even a signing bonus, in the contract. Questions he faces, roster outlook Deguara is an intriguing option for the tight end room because of his work on special teams. Will that be enough for him to make the roster? He is at best a player on the roster bubble, but his situation is interesting. It would appear that the top three tight ends are set in Trey McBride, Elijah Higgins and Tip Reiman. Deguara could be TE4, but the Cardinals only keep three active on game days, so his value on special teams would be negated. The battle between him and Travis Vokolek will be interesting to watch.

Brian Hartline and the Ohio State Buckeyes get a $130 million surprise boost to their recruiting efforts
Brian Hartline and the Ohio State Buckeyes get a $130 million surprise boost to their recruiting efforts originally appeared on A to Z Sports. The Ohio State Buckeyes have been one of the best recruiting machines over the last decade since Urban Meyer transformed their approach into a nationwide effort. Being able to draw in top athletes from across the country has led to two National Championships, and the team regularly finishes in the top 10 of yearly class rankings. Advertisement One of their biggest stars cashed in with a massive NFL contract on Monday afternoon. Former Ohio State and current New York Jets star Garrett Wilson inked a four-year, $130 million deal with $90 million guaranteed. The 24-year-old was the 10th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Wilson was the catalyst for an insane run on receivers that has continued to this day. New offensive coordinator and former Buckeyes receiver Brian Hartline hasn't needed much more ammunition on the recruiting trail, but boasting about his crew's NFL earnings will only help the program. Wilson, Chris Olave, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Emeka Egbuka have each been first-round picks since 2022. Carnell Tate should extend that streak in 2026, and Jeremiah Smith might be the top overall pick in 2027. Now averaging $32.5 million, Wilson ranks fifth among NFL receivers in yearly salary. He's coming off a career season with 101 receptions, 1,104 yards, and seven touchdowns, and has the 2022 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award in his closet already. Advertisement Hartline's next challenge is continuing to do what he can to bring in elite playmakers at receiver, but the entire program will benefit if he's a star offensive coordinator. Hartline will serve alongside Keenan Bailey as the co-OC, which is a head-scratcher, but Hartline will be the bigger presence in the room. Andy Staples of On3 ranked the most impactful coordinator hires of the college football season, and Hartline made the list as the No. 3 move. It trailed only Ryan Grubb's predictable decision to join Kalen DeBoer in Alabama and Knowles' departure to Penn State. Here's what Staples said of the promotion: Hartline is the best receivers coach in America. He hasn't previously been a playcaller, but the Buckeyes probably owe him a shot at the role after all he's done as an on-field coach and recruiter. Last year's decision by Ryan Day to give up playcalling was made easier by the fact that Chip Kelly — Day's college coach and professional mentor — was willing to leave the UCLA head coach job to call plays in Columbus. (After original hire Bill O'Brien got the head coach job at Boston College.) That probably was the perfect transition, because Day trusted Kelly more than anyone else who could have held that role. This will be different. Day has to give Hartline a chance to grow into the role, but Day also is the most experienced offensive playcaller in the building. So if he needs to jump in, he can. Plus, the hiring of Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Tyler Bowen as offensive line coach/run game coordinator feels like insurance. All of these coaches know more about playcalling than me, but a humble suggestion of 'When in doubt, throw it toward Jeremiah Smith' seems appropriate. The line Buckeyes fans want to pay attention to most? It's not that the move to hire Hartline was what Staples was referring to as "the perfect transition" (that was the move from Bill O'Brien to Chip Kelly), but that the addition of Tyler Bowen will supplement Hartline's promotion. Advertisement Day's actions, including giving Bailey the new co-OC moniker, speak to continuing to support Hartline's journey into a huge role increase. That in itself should eventually make this the perfect transition as Day gets ready to pull up his sleeves to get dirty alongside Hartline. View the original article to see embedded media.

2025 Arizona Cardinals training camp roster preview: TE Travis Vokolek
We will preview every player on the Cardinals roster leading up to training camp. This is about TE Travis Vokolek. The Arizona Cardinals report to training camp on July 22 and begin the process of preparing for the regular season, forming the roster and determining starting jobs and roles on the team. Leading up to the start of camp, we will take a look at every player on the offseason roster, their background, their contract, their play in 2024, questions they face and their roster outlook. This focuses on tight end Travis Vokolek. Travis Vokolek background, 2024 season Vokolek enters his third NFL season and third with the Cardinals. He entered the league originally in 2023 as a rookie free agent out of Nebraska, signing with the Baltimore Ravens. He did not make the 53-man roster out of training camp but was signed to their practice squad. In December, he was signed by the Cardinals to their active roster and appeared in two games. He spent the offseason with the team and made the 53-man roster out of training camp as the team's fourth tight end. He was inactive as a healthy scratch for 16 of the Cardinals' 17 games last season. He appeared in one game, logging 12 offensive snaps and two on special teams in Week 4 against the Washington Commanders. He did not log any statistics. Travis Vokolek 2025 contract details, cap hit He is signed through the 2025 season and will make $1.03 million in salary, the league minimum for a player in his third season. That amount will be his cap hit. He will be an exclusive rights free agent after the season. Questions he faces, roster outlook The Cardinals clearly see something Vokolek, keeping him on the active roster for all of the 2024 season, but he was clearly the No. 4 tight end behind Trey McBride, Elijah Higgins and Tip Reiman. The question he faces is whether he has done enough or can do enough in camp to lock in that spot or perhaps do more. He is no lock for the roster, but certainly should be the favorite to be TE4 again. Whether that is enough to sustain a spot on the 53-man roster remains to be seen. He is on the roster bubble.
