Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, NFL donate $1.5 million to Texas flood recovery
The trio is sending a combined $1.5 million to provide support and resources to Kerr County and the Texas Hill Country, according to the NFL.
Flash floods in Texas killed more than 80 people over the Fourth of July holiday weekend and left others still missing, including girls attending a summer camp. The devastation along the Guadalupe River, outside of San Antonio, has drawn a massive search effort as officials face questions over their preparedness and the speed of their initial actions.
"Our hearts are heavy as we witness the devastation and loss of life by the floods in Kerr County and Texas Hill Country, especially for the young girls and their families, as well as all of those lost and their loved ones," the Cowboys said on social media. "This has been devastating to see and we hold everyone impacted in our thoughts and prayers."
Texas sports teams send thoughts, prayers to victims
Several Texas sports teams voiced concern, sending their wishes to victims in Central Texas.
"The Rangers Organization stands ready to assist those who are suffering in the coming days and months," the Texas Rangers said.
"The entire Stars organization is heartbroken by the devastating flooding and heartbreaking loss of life in Central Texas," the Dallas Stars said.
"To those grieving unimaginable losses, and to the families of the missing, we stand with you in sorrow and in hope," the Dallas Wings said on social media. "As a women's sports organization, the tragedy at Camp Mystic hits especially close to home."

Chiefs 'Team To Bet Against' Prediction Turning Heads
Chiefs 'Team To Bet Against' Prediction Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. If there is one team in the NFL that has earned the benefit of the doubt after a blowout loss in the Super Bowl, it's the Kansas City Chiefs. Advertisement After back-to-back titles, the Chiefs fell short of achieving a historic three-peat, and as such, many are now suggesting the dynasty is at an end; however, we aren't so quick to dismiss the current AFC champions. While from the outside, the Chiefs might have lost a little aura after the Philadelphia Eagles showed them a clean set of heels, they still possess some firepower that means come playoff time, some teams will want to avoid them. As such, The Athletic's Jacob Robinson thinks that while a regression might be coming, folks should write off the Chiefs at their own peril. "They might not win 15 regular-season games again, but Rashee Rice's return, their left tackle competition and overall focus on fixing the offensive line suggest to me that the combination of Reid, Mahomes and Spangoulo is one you still won't want to see come playoff time," Robinson writes. "Will Travis Kelce's likely last dance end in a Super Bowl? I'm skeptical, but this isn't a team to bet against." Advertisement Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick MahomesMark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Rashee Rice is back, Marquise Brown is back, and Travis Kelce will have a burning desire to prove that he still has juice in the tank. Those are three key weapons that should provide more for Patrick Mahomes and the offense. ... and we say this bunch is still going to be turning heads in 2025. Additionally, the addition of Elijah Mitchell and Brashard Smith will provide an injection of speed in the run game, complemented by the hopeful prospect that the offensive line can protect far better than it did last season. This combination gives reason to be optimistic about the Chiefs' prospects this season. For some, that isn't enough to allay fears that Kansas City might be about to fall off a cliff. Advertisement To that, we say, until we see if happen, it's as you were for Kansas City in the AFC.

Dolphins Expected to Make Strange Free Agent Decision After Jalen Ramsey Trade
Dolphins Expected to Make Strange Free Agent Decision After Jalen Ramsey Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Miami Dolphins made some moves to end June and kick off July, as they finally traded away Jalen Ramsey, their All-Pro cornerback. Jonnu Smith was also included in the deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Advertisement Miami's trade opened two holes at cornerback and tight end. They swung a wild deal for retired tight end Darren Waller, leaving their cornerback room as the only area needed to address. But, according to a report from Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald, the Dolphins are planning to be stingy with their money. Despite losing Ramsey, they aren't expected to be more aggressive in the free agent market. "With at least one veteran cornerback of interest to Miami," Jackson reported, "There has been no renewed push to offer more money this week. Miami clearly wants someone at their preferred $$$ amount." Advertisement It's all thanks to the misses at cornerback over the years. Ramsey didn't quite live up to the hype in Miami, and he's far from the only cornerback to struggle in Miami after a significant investment. Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel watches warm-ups before the game between the Cleveland Browns and the Dolphins at Huntington Bank Blaze-Imagn Images Xavien Howard and Byron Jones were both major disappointments in Miami. Combined with this Ramsey disaster, the Dolphins' front office no longer intends to open the wallet for a top cornerback. The Dolphins won't open the wallet for a cornerback, nor will they spend lavishly on the position. It's a glaring need for the team, especially after trading Ramsey, yet they aren't planning to address it. This is a worrying report from Jackson. While the Dolphins are looking to add a cornerback, they aren't pursuing an addition aggressively. Despite the dire need, the Dolphins aren't planning to invest money in a free agent cornerback this offseason.

Dolphins Trade For Giants Tight End Darren Waller a Year After He Retired
Dolphins Trade For Giants Tight End Darren Waller a Year After He Retired originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After the Miami Dolphins traded away Jonnu Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team began its search for a new starting tight end. With plenty of options around the NFL, the Dolphins pulled off a stunning move a day after trading Smith. Advertisement According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Dolphins are acquiring New York Giants tight end Darren Waller. The 33-year-old previously retired to pursue a music career, but is un-retiring to play for the Dolphins and Mike McDaniel. The move comes as a complete surprise, as Waller hasn't suited up in the NFL since 2023. In that season, Waller played 12 games and had 552 receiving yards on 74 targets. His best season came in 2020 when he was a Pro-Bowler, and he had 1,196 receiving yards and nine touchdowns with the Las Vegas Raiders. He was a productive tight end in his prime, but struggled in the later stages of his career. Advertisement Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel watches game action against the Los Angeles Rams during the second half at SoFi A. Vasquez-Imagn Images But now, a year after retiring, he is on his way to Miami. Despite retiring a year ago, Waller was still a part of the Giants roster and had to be traded from New York to Miami. According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Dolphins are sending a conditional 2026 sixth-round pick to the Giants for Waller and a 2027 seventh-round pick. Waller is also signing a one-year deal worth $5 million with the team to be their new starting tight end for the 2025 season. The Dolphins found their new tight end, in a move that no one expected. Waller is joining the Dolphins roster and becoming their new starting tight end after trading away Smith. He's set to play in the NFL for the first time since 2023, and will be in his ninth season when he suits up for Miami.
