Commanders to induct Santana Moss into their Ring of Fame

The Commanders will kick off the 2025 season by adding a player to the franchise's Ring of Fame. The team announced that they will be inducting wide receiver Santana Moss into the group during their Week 1 game against the Giants. Moss will be the 52nd person to join the club. Moss began his NFL career as a Jets first-round pick in 2001 and he moved on to Washington in a 2005 trade that sent wideout Laveranues Coles to New Jersey. Moss spent 10 seasons with the club and picked up 581 catches for 7,867 yards and 47 touchdowns. Moss ranks third in franchise history behind Art Monk and Charley Taylor in catches and fourth behind those two players and Gary Clark in receiving yards. He will join all three of those players as members of the team's Ring of Fame.

Browns GM calls out Shedeur Sanders over speeding tickets: 'Not smart'

Shedeur Sanders' tumultuous offseason took a couple more wrong turns when he was twice cited for speeding. Sanders was first ticketed for going 91 mph in a 65-mph zone. Two weeks later, he went 101 in a 60 and failed to appear in court for both citations. The quarterback said he haas learned from his mistakes, and it seems that his general manager, Andrew Berry, assisted in teaching him a thing or two. "Not smart. Just not smart," Berry told reporters this week about the tickets. "It's something that we've addressed with him. Look, he understands the implications, he understands the consequences. It's not just about yourself. It's not just about having a joyride, but that you could injure other people. . . . A deer or something cuts in front of you, your reaction time, it's just dangerous." The rookie quarterback addressed those traffic tickets while appearing at teammate David Njoku's charity softball game last month. "I made some wrong choices personally, and I can own up to them," Sanders said. "I made some, you know, not great choices … I learned." Sanders is now currently vying for a starting spot on the Cleveland Browns, who selected him in the fifth round after an unprecedented slide in the NFL Draft. The Colorado alum was once in consideration to be a top-five pick, but he was not selected until the third and final day of the draft. One of the quarterbacks selected over him, Dillon Gabriel in the third round, was his own teammate. His odds of getting the starting job don't seem too high right now, though, as he's taking most of his reps with third-stringers. Out of himself, Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Gabriel, he is the only one who has not taken a snap with the first team.

Wild Blockbuster Trade Ideas For Lakers, Mavericks, And Warriors

Wild Blockbuster Trade Ideas For Lakers, Mavericks, And Warriors originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The 2025 NBA offseason has already rewritten the league with many elite stars moving teams already. The Houston Rockets completed a staggering seven-team blockbuster, landing Kevin Durant, while Damian Lillard's injury-landed departure from the Milwaukee Bucks and subsequent stretch led to his exit. Bradley Beal found himself on the veteran minimum, joining the Los Angeles Clippers, and we might not have seen that coming. Amid the revolving door of stars, LeBron James opted into his $52.6 million player option with the Lakers for 2025-26, maintaining an aura of uncertainty over his future and fueling speculation. Even teams like the Dallas Mavericks are gunning for the NBA title in 2025-26, and the Golden State Warriors are always in the hunt as long as Stephen Curry is still in his prime. With all these big teams and names we are floating around, we propose three blockbuster trade ideas involving the Lakers, Mavericks, and Warriors that will see LeBron, Anthony Davis, and even big man Zion Williamson moving teams. Let's dive in. San Antonio Spurs Acquire LeBron James To Pair With Their Talented Core Proposed Trade Details San Antonio Spurs Receive: LeBron James Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Devin Vassell, Julian Champaigne, Kelly Olynyk, 2026 first-round pick (ATL), 2028 first-round pick (BOS) In this scenario, the San Antonio Spurs swing a jaw-dropping deal for LeBron James, pairing the 40-year-old superstar (24.4 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 8.2 APG) with Victor Wembanyama (24.3 PPG, 11.0 RPG) and De'Aaron Fox (23.5 PPG, 6.3 APG) to crafting instant national relevance. The narrative practically writes itself: LeBron mentoring Wemby, igniting a fanbase in need of excitement, and giving NBA purists the coup of the decade. ESPN would run with the storyline: 'The prodigal King arrives in San Antonio,' redefining their timeline in a single move. Spurs fans thirsty for a playoff identity get one blockbuster snap. For the Lakers, the return package, Devin Vassell, Julian Champaigne, Kelly Olynyk, plus two first-round picks (2026 pick via Atlanta, 2028 via Boston), reorients them toward youth and flexibility. Vassell offers cost-controlled upside at guard, Champaigne adds rim protection (9.9 PPG, 3.9 RPG), and Olynyk (8.7 PPG, 4.7 RPG) gives a veteran big body. This trade underscores LA's pivot to building around Luka Doncic and shedding cap strain. It's ruthless and forward-thinking. However, this deal carries a massive risk for both ends. San Antonio gets an aging LeBron whose no-trade clause and superlative legacy give him considerable power. The Lakers could lose immense marketing value and star leadership. Meanwhile, the Spurs gamble their future on one season of LeBron's production before his inevitable decline. It's bold, or delusional, depending on your view. Dallas Mavericks Move Anthony Davis To The Boston Celtics Proposed Trade Details Boston Celtics Receive: Anthony Davis Dallas Mavericks Receive: Derrick White, Anfernee Simons, 2031 first-round pick (BOS), 2027 second-round pick Put bluntly: this is Dallas cutting ties with Anthony Davis (24.7 PPG, 11.6 RPG) in a move that would shock every cable sports show. The Boston Celtics suddenly get a defensive anchor, a pick-and-roll destroyer, and a Finals-level star to pair with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. It's continuity with room for elevation, a pairing that terrifies opponents across the East. Boston GM Joe Dumars would get props for swinging big under pressure. Dallas, by shipping AD for Derrick White (16.4 PPG, 4.8 APG), Anfernee Simons (19.3 PPG), a 2027 second-rounder, and Boston's 2031 first-rounder, commits to youth and cap agility. Derrick White is a versatile guard who fits the next-gen retool, Simons is a scoring spark, and the pick bridges future flexibility while they develop Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving's brand-new Mavs core. It's handing over a loud present for a quieter rebuild, with plausible upside. Yet it stings. Trading Davis could render the Mavs defensively vulnerable and cost them veteran stability. For Boston, relying on health is dicey: Davis hasn't been injury-proof this season. And for Dallas, losing championship-proven grit in exchange for draft capital and role players is bracing, especially if Flagg doesn't fast-track like they expect. Golden State Warriors Go All-In For Zion Williamson While Retaining Jonathan Kuminga Proposed Trade Details Golden State Warriors Receive: Zion Williamson New Orleans Pelicans Receive: Draymond Green, Brandin Podziemski, 2027 first-round pick (GSW), 2032 first-round pick (GSW) Golden State decides to toss the role-player model aside and chase seismic upside: Zion Williamson (24.6 PPG, 7.2 RPG). They send Draymond Green (9.0 PPG, 6.1 RPG), Brandin Podziemski (11.7 PPG, 5.1 RPG), plus their 2027 and 2032 first-rounders to the Pelicans. Zion's power and inside scoring would bridge the gap between mid-tier ceiling and championship threat, with Kuminga still in tow. It's daring in that signature Warriors couture: splashy, bold, but potentially transformative. This trade would instantly shift the West's balance and alter the Warriors' marketing forever. Imagine Zion in Bay Area social media content, linked stat lines between him and Kuminga, two explosive forwards, and Curry finding a new lob conduit. If healthy, it elevates Golden State from fringe to Finals contender overnight. Of course, there's a mountain of baggage: Zion's durability concerns are well-documented, and the surrender of Green's leadership and identity muddies Bay loyalty. Podziemski is unproven but tantalizing, and the picks are key assets if things crash. The Pelicans emerge with culture and depth; the Warriors roll the dice on peak ceiling. It's high-risk, high-reward, even reckless, if you ask story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 27, 2025, where it first appeared.
