Messi's New Bodyguard? Argentina's Rodrigo De Paul Joins Inter Miami
You can call Rodrigo De Paul "El Motorcito." Or, perhaps Lionel Messi's "bodyguard." Either way, you can call him Inter Miami's newest player. The 31-year-old star is officially Messi's club teammate after Inter Miami announced De Paul's arrival on Friday. It's a reunion for the two Argentina stars who led the Albiceleste to the 2022 World Cup title in Qatar. De Paul arrives on an initial loan from Atlético Madrid until the end of the 2025 season, with an option to make the transfer permanent through the 2029 MLS season. He had 187 appearances for Atlético, scoring 14 goals as a defensive midfielder, but did not win silveware with the team. A tenacious midfielder who became a trademark enforcer of sorts on opponents following hard fouls on Messi, De Paul is expected to provide the same sort of physical play at Inter Miami. Along with the 2022 World Cup crown, De Paul and Messi have won two Copa América titles (2021, 2024). "What brings me to Inter Miami is the desire to compete, win titles, to write the pages in the club's history," De Paul said. "It's a club that is shaping up to be great, to have a long history, so that many people follow this incredible team." The arrival of De Paul also put an additional spotlight on Miami's roster compliance rules. Each MLS team is allowed to have three Designated Players on its roster. Those players are paid outside of each teams' salary cap structure. With Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba taking up Miami's DP slots, De Paul – who reportedly made upwards of $12 million at Atlético – will instead play this season on loan. According to ESPN, De Paul will be paid $1.5 million for the rest of this season before earning $12 million per season starting in 2026. Busquets is out of a contract at the end of the season. De Paul would likely take over the DP slot for next season, although it remains to be seen if Busquets (who reportedly makes $8.7 million) would remain in Miami on a lower-paying deal. Earlier this summer, the MLS Players Association published the salaries of all players. Not surprisingly, Messi led the league with a total annual compensation of $20.4 million -- greater than the entire payroll of 21 teams. Alba earns $6 million. Inter Miami's next game is Saturday against FC Cincinnati, although Messi and Alba won't be playing that game. The duo were suspended due to not attending the MLS All-Star Game in Austin earlier this week. MLS rules state that any player who does not participate in the All-Star Game without prior approval from the league is ineligible to play in the next match. recommended Item 1 of 1 Get more from the MLS Follow your favorites to get information about games, news and more

NFL training camp 2025 news, live updates: Shedeur Sanders throws dime of a TD in practice
[Top training camp stories | NFL team feeds | NFL training camp live blog] All 32 NFL teams have reported to training camp, and there's no shortage of intrigue and storylines so far. Shedeur Sanders threw a touchdown pass during Saturday's Cleveland Browns practice that got social media buzzing. Check out this dime to fellow rookie Luke Floriea out of Kent State: Sanders finished 8 of 11 with three touchdowns while working with the second team in red zone 11-on-11s and the third team in 7-on-7s, among other setups. Joe Flacco went 4 of 8, Kenny Pickett went 6 of 10 with two touchdowns, and Dillon Gabriel went 8 of 15 with a touchdown, per ESPN Cleveland. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] On Friday, Sanders was asked why he's not yet getting reps with the first team. "That's not my place to answer, to even be able to give the answer to that. I feel like it's not in my control, so I'm not even gonna have that in my thought process," Sanders said. Top NFL training camp stories Shemar Stewart agreed to a fully guaranteed deal with the Bengals on Friday, bringing to an end a months-long standoff over contract language with the 17th overall pick of April's draft. The $18.97 million is fully guaranteed, with a reported $10.4 million signing bonus. As part of the deal, Cincinnati reportedly softened language in the controversial clause that allowed the team to void Stewart's guaranteed money if he engaged in "detrimental" conduct. Now the Bengals turn their attention toward Trey Hendrickson, their other contract stalemate with a star pass rusher. The Raiders sent a clear message by releasing Christian Wilkins over a disagreement in his rehab after a foot injury: If you're not going to be playing for us, you're not going to be sticking around with us. Without a doubt, that's how this new regime under head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek is planning to operate moving forward, refusing to hang onto what it views as roster-building errors from past regimes and also aiming to be aggressive in moving on from any mistakes it might commit in the future. Are we sure Aaron Rodgers will only be a Steeler for a year, if things go well? In response to a question from Rich Eisen about possibly keeping Rodgers around longer than the one year he's signed for, general manager Omar Khan said, "Obviously, we have to see how the season goes, but absolutely. He's a young 41, and we're obviously taking it year-by-year, and that's where we're at. But we're obviously not closing the door on anything." Interesting.

Jordan Hick retirement leaves Browns defense short-handed
Three days into camp, the Cleveland Browns are dealing another massive blow at linebacker as Jordan Hicks announces his retirement from the NFL after 10 seasons. Hicks was brought to Cleveland as a free agent in 2024 and played in 12 games, totaling 78 tackles and 2 sacks. Hicks hit his prime in Arizona during the 2019 season, where he had his best statistical season, but he wasn't on the radar of many to retire this close to the start of the season. With Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah already ruled out for the yea,r that leaves the Browns with Jerome Baker, Mohamoud Diabte, Devin Bush, and the rookie Carson Schwesinger to take the bulk of the snaps in 2025. The Browns quickly filled the spot by signing WR Winston Wright out of East Carolina, but look for Andrew Berry to bring in a veteran who can give you 20 to 30 meaningful snaps next season.
