Super Bowl winner left in shock after Kay Adams' very special request at the Kentucky Derby
The 39-year-old has been an NFL host for several years and constantly been linked with the personal lives of the players she covers, with DeJean being no exception.
The duo saw each other over the weekend at the Kentucky Derby, with Adams saying she wanted a night on the town with the defensive back.
DeJean found out in real time while being interviewed on a red carpet in Louisville.
'Someone said they want to hang out with you?' a red-carpet reporter relayed to DeJean.
'Me? Who said that? Kay Adams? I just saw her,' DeJean retorted.
'Yeah, she said she's willing to party,' the reporter, off-screen, continued. DeJean responded after a few moments with, 'Alright, I'm down!'

DeJean won a Super Bowl in his only NFL season thus far, and has plenty of eyes on him as the Eagles look to repeat their title win come next season.
The safety is reportedly dating Steph Wilfawn, with them being an item since last April.
Last year, Adams was linked with dating quarterback Daniel Jones after she conducted an in-person interview with the then-Giants quarterback.
The Kentucky Derby took place the same weekend as Formula One's showpiece of the Miami Grand Prix.
While Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Gordon Ramsay, and Lisa chose to spend their time in Florida, DeJean, Adams, and others such as Livvy Dunne chose the big sporting event in Kentucky.
Whether or not DeJean will ever take Adams up on her offer to party may never be known, even if he handled being approached by the request well under pressure.

Tyler Smith says Cowboys Super Bowl win is an 'expectation'
"Super Bowl champions," Smith replied, per ESPN's Todd Archer. "That's always the expectation." Smith insisted the Cowboys winning a championship for the first time since Super Bowl 30 - which was played in 1996 to put a bow on the 1995 NFL season - is "a realistic goal." Why? "Because we can win a Super Bowl. Why not? Why can't we win?" he said. "Do you think it's unrealistic?" To Smith's point, the Cowboys made the playoffs in three consecutive seasons before their 7-10 finish last season. They failed to advance past the divisional round in any of those appearances but posted a 12-5 regular-season record each campaign. T.J. WATT CONTRACT: Why Micah Parsons is winner after Steelers star signs Meanwhile, Dallas' 2024 season was derailed by a midseason five-game losing streak, during which starting quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending hamstring injury. Prescott said ahead of training camp he is fully recovered from that injury. His presence should provide the Cowboys with more stability at quarterback after they leaned on Cooper Rush and Trey Lance to close the 2024 campaign. Smith also believes the additions of wide receiver George Pickens and first-round guard Tyler Booker will bolster an already strong Dallas offense. "I think we built a great core on offense; the addition of George and all the other key pieces," Smith said. "I think drafting Booker, he's going to be a hell of a guy just to bolster the front line. And we have many guys across the board, but those are some of the guys who are the key pieces on what we do this year."

Why the Commanders can't change their name despite Trump pressure
Plans for the stadium have stalled while Mayor Muriel Bowser battles with the Washington D.C. council to get it approved. The mayor has expressed concern about the deal, while the Commanders may run into a speedbump for future plans. Now the Commanders face another potential obstacle en route to a stadium deal, this time against the Commander in Chief. On July 20, President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he could block a deal if the team doesn't bring back their old name. "I may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, 'Washington Commanders,' I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington," Trump posted on Truth Social. Here's a look at how we got here, including the origin of the Commanders' name change, whether they can change it back and what the President has said about the issue. Why did the Commanders change their name? Washington's NFL franchise introduced the "Commanders" moniker in advance of the 2022 season after two years as the Washington Football Team. The move was necessitated by the overwhelming pressure that began to mount against the much more controversial namesake. Originally born into the NFL in 1932 as the Boston Braves, the franchise changed its name after one season to the version considered offensive to Native Americans in 1933. It was a name that remained through the team's relocation to Washington in 1937 and withstood the test of time until the it couldn't anymore ahead of the 2020 season. Following George Floyd's death in Minnesota, protests broke out across the country in opposition to police brutality and racism. That also put the spotlight on Washington's team, which began feeling the heat from sponsors like FedEx, Nike and PepsiCo. Adweek reported in 2020 that 87 investment firms worth a collective $620 billion at the time sent a letter to some of the team's biggest sponsors - FedEx, Nike and PepsiCo - asking them to sever ties with the team if they refused the name change. Previous owner Dan Snyder was adamant for years that the name would never be changed. "We will never change the name of the team," Snyder told USA TODAY Sports in 2013. "As a lifelong (name) fan, and I think that the (name) fans understand the great tradition and what it's all about and what it means, so we feel pretty fortunate to be just working on next season." Despite years of lawsuits and pressure from Native American groups, Snyder vowed he would never cave on the issue. "We'll never change the name," Snyder said at the time. "It's that simple. NEVER - you can use caps." However, the sponsors threats were more than enough for Snyder to reconsider his position and the old name was removed ahead of the 2020 season, sparking a search for a new one. "We are announcing we will be retiring the (former) name and logo upon completion of this review," the team said in a statement and that team officials were "working closely to develop a new name and design approach that will enhance the standing of our proud, tradition rich franchise and inspire our sponsors, fans and community for the next 100 years." What Trump has said about Commanders name change Trump has been a fixture throughout the Commanders recent rebrands and controversy. The pivot away from the controversial name came during the first Trump administration and now the stadium deal has taken centerstage during the second. The president has always been opposed to switch, but struck a different chord earlier this month when asked about the team's move back to the RFK site. "It doesn't have the same ring to me," he told reporters on July 7. "But, you know, winning can make everything sound good. So, if they win, all of a sudden, the Commanders sounds good, but I wouldn't have changed it." While Trump wasn't in favor of the move, it was a decidedly different tone than the one he took at the time in 2020. "They name teams out of STRENGTH, not weakness, but now the Washington Redskins & Cleveland Indians, two fabled sports franchises, look like they are going to be changing their names in order to be politically correct," Trump tweeted in response to the initial change. He renewed that rhetoric on July 20, when he threatened to block the team's new stadium deal in the district, adding they should immediately bring back the old name. "I may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, 'Washington Commanders,' I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington," Trump later posted. "The Team would be much more valuable, and the Deal would be more exciting for everyone," he continued, adding that the Cleveland Guardians should also follow suit. It's unclear what power the president has in this case, considering Congress turned over control of the RFK Stadium land to the city with the passage of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act in January. Will the Commanders change their name? It's unlikely a move back to the old controversial nickname will happen, given recent stance from team brass. If there was any doubt, team owner Josh Harris seemingly put a return to the old name to bed at a press conference in February. "Now, in this building, the name Commanders means something," Harris said. "It's about players who love football, are great at football, hit hard, mentally tough, great teammates. It's really meaningful that that name is growing in meaning." While the owner acknowledged that the team will honor its past, he pointed out that the name is here to stay. "I think it's now being embraced by our team, by our culture, by our coaching staff. And so we're going with that," Harris said. Not only have the Commanders shown no interest in reverting to their name, but NFL rules dictate that it might not be a possibility at this time either. As any name change would also be likely be accompanied with new jerseys, the NFL's uniform rules come into focus. As detailed in 2002 Resolution G-3 under Article 19 of the NFL's constitution, a team cannot change its jerseys more than once every five years. Given that the team just unveiled new jerseys ahead of the 2022 season, they cannot make a switch again until 2027. There is a clause for "extenuating circumstances" built in that would allow for a faster rebrand. It is determined by the commissioner, but relocation and ownership change are considered extenuating. Any name change would likely need the approval of the league, as was the case in 2020 when Washington first changed its team nickname to the Commanders. What Trump has said about the Cleveland Guardians The Commanders aren't the only team that faced controversy surrounding their team name. MLB's Cleveland Guardians also drew the ire of Trump, who suggested they should also bring back their old name. Cleveland didn't make the move until ahead of the 2022 MLB season, three years after they dropped the "Chief Wahoo" mascot and logo. Trump said that it was cancel culture in a 2020 tweet, indicating he was no fan of that decision. The Guardians arrived at the conclusion to change their name after team owner Paul Dolan changed his stance on the matter, citing a changing world in the aftermath of the social unrest in 2020.

Why JC Tretter is resigning from the NFLPA amid scandals
"Over the last couple days, it has gotten very, very hard for my family. And that's something I can't deal with," Tretter told CBS Sports. "So, the short bullet points are: I have no interest in being [executive director]. I have no interest in being considered; I've let the executive committee know that. I'm also going to leave the NFLPA in the coming days because I don't have anything left to give the organization." NFL, NFLPA explainer: What to know about grievances, Lloyd Howell, next steps Tretter served as president of the NFLPA from 2020 to 2024 and resigns amid multiple scandals involving Howell and the players' union. Howell faced questions after the "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast released a 61-page arbitration report showing the NFL encouraged owners "to reduce guarantees in future contracts with players at the March 2022 annual meeting." Howell, the head of the NFLPA at the time, reached a confidentiality agreement with the NFL that kept players and the public from knowing what was in the report. Since his resignation, reports came out that Howell charged the NFLPA for multiple strip club visits. The "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast also reported another confidential deal between the NFL and the NFLPA on an investigation into fake injuries. Tretter's comments during an interview in 2023 led to the investigation. Tretter was considered a frontrunner to replace Howell in upcoming NFLPA executive director elections. "I'm not resigning because what I've been accused of is true," he told CBS Sports. "I'm not resigning in disgrace. I'm resigning because this has gone too far for me and my family, and I've sucked it up for six weeks. And I felt like I've been kind of left in the wind taking shots for the best of the organization." OPINION: Former NFLPA head Lloyd Howell was sunk by his own secrets NFLPA chief player officer Don Davis is reportedly the other frontrunner and seems poised to take the position. Davis played linebacker for 11 years in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, St. Louis Rams and New England Patriots. All the NFL news on and off the field.
