How to claim unclaimed funds before they go to the Browns
You've probably heard a lot about Ohio's unclaimed funds lately — here's a refresher on what they are and how to claim yours before it's too late. Why it matters: Attention is on unclaimed funds after Gov. Mike DeWine signed a new state budget last week setting aside $1.7 billion for a "Cultural and Sports Facility Fund," including $600 million for a new Browns stadium. The move comes with an unprecedented change in state law that has generated controversy and legal questions. Catch up quick: Banks and businesses regularly send unclaimed funds to the state, from places such as inactive accounts or uncashed last paychecks. The Ohio Department of Commerce previously held this money indefinitely until owners claimed it. But starting Jan. 1, 2026, any unclaimed funds reported to the state on or before Jan. 1, 2016, will be considered "abandoned and escheat to the state." For funds reported after that date, Ohioans will have 10 years to file a claim. Follow the money: The current pot is nearly $5 billion, meaning many people likely don't realize they're owed something. The state recently launched a new online system making it easier than ever to search your name and upload required documentation. Alissa submitted a claim in 2023, when it still required using old-fashioned snail mail, and earned about $28. Between the lines: Department spokesperson Franklin Freytag tells Axios it's not unprecedented for unclaimed funds to be transferred elsewhere. The 2017 state budget bill, for example, sent $200 million to the general revenue fund. The intrigue: We asked DeWine spokesperson Dan Tierney what would happen to the new Cultural and Sports Facility Fund if a sudden surge of claims depletes the pot. Tierney called it a "borderline impossible scenario" and noted the Division of Unclaimed Funds has "without exception, taken in more money that is paid out in any given year." What we're watching: The Franklin County Convention Facilities Authority will apply for some of the funds to renovate Nationwide Arena, executive director Ken Paul tells Axios.

Countdown to Kickoff: Jerry Fontenot is the Saints Player of Day 62
Fontenot is one of the best players to wear No. 62 in Saints history There are 62 days left before the New Orleans Saints start their 2025 regular season. The Saints will open their year at home against the Arizona Cardinals, but with Kellen Moore on the sidelines as their new head coach. No New Orleans player is currently wearing number 62. Guard Lucas Patrick wore the number last season for the team. Instead, our choice for Saints Player of the Day is one of the best players to suit up in No. 62 for the franchise: Jerry Fontenot. A local graduate of Lafayette High School in Louisiana, Fontenot would go on to star at Texas A&M. He'd cap his Aggies career as a 1st Team All-Southwest Conference selection in 1988. The Chicago Bears and head coach Mike Ditka then selected Fontenot midway through Round 3 of the 1989 NFL Draft. Fontenot played in every game as a rookie, but somewhat sparingly as a reserve. He'd see increasingly more playing time through 1990 and 1991, combining for nine starts while playing every contest. By 1992, Ditka's last year with Chicago, Fontenot was the team's starting center. He remained in that role even after Ditka's departure. Between 1992 and 1996, Fontenot started all of the Bears 80 regular season games. During Fontenot's eight years with Chicago, he'd play in 128 games with 89 starts and never missed a game. When Mike Ditka was hired as coach of the New Orleans Saints in 1997, Jerry Fontenot returned to his home state to join his former coach. Fontenot started all 16 games at center for the Saints in 1997. The following year, Fontenot missed the first game of his career as injuries limited him to only four outings. He'd bounce back in 1999 and would go on to make 80 consecutive starts at center for New Orleans between 1999 and 2003. Jerry Fontenot anchored a strong offensive line for otherwise abysmal teams under Ditka. He remained a standout player once Jim Haslett arrived as coach in 2000 and was an underrated member of an explosive offense. Fontenot appeared in 100 games in seven years with the Saints, starting every contest. Only Saints Hall of Famer John Hill has worn No. 62 for more games with New Orleans than Fontenot. After the 2003 season, New Orleans released Fontenot. He'd go on to play his final NFL season with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2004. After retirement, Fontenot was an offensive assistant with the Green Bay Packers for 10 years from 2006 to 2015. He was part of a Packers staff that won Super Bowl XLV over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

20 Most Important Chargers of 2025: No. 14 DL Teair Tart
The Chargers are gearing up for the new season, which features a mix of new and returning faces within the organization. Several players are crucial to the team's success this season. Every day from now until the start of training camp, we're counting down our 20 Most Important Chargers for the 2025 season. We'll recap their 2024 season, look ahead, and hit on the biggest question facing them this year. Next up at No. 14 is defensive lineman Teair Tart. Background Age: 28 Position: Defensive tackle Experience: Sixth season 2025 cap hit: $4.5 million 2024 recap After playing with the Titans for the first four seasons of his pro career, Tart was signed right before the 2024 regular season. Appearing in all 17 games, Tart was a key cog up front as an interior pass rusher and against the run. He notched 29 tackles, a sack, five tackles for loss, an interception, and a forced fumble. Tart set career highs in Pro Football Focus overall (76.9) and run defense (70.9) grades. His PFF grade of 78.1 ranked 12th among defensive tackles who played at least 300 snaps. 2025 outlook Tart was rewarded for his hard work with a one-year contract extension. Getting him back was important after the loss of their best interior defender from a season ago, Poona Ford. The Chargers also lost Morgan Fox, who provided an interior pass-rush presence. Los Angeles added some pieces in free agency with veterans Naquan Jones and DaShawn Hand, and in the draft with third-round pick Jamaree Caldwell. They're also hoping to get more out of Justin Eboigbe, last year's fourth-round pick. But despite the additions, the team is banking on getting the most production from Tart, who was a force last season in a rotational role. Big question: Can Tart produce with extended snaps, and will he fill the void as an interior pass rusher? We're counting down our 30 Most Important Chargers of 2025. Check back every day leading up to the start of training camp. 20. OL Bradley Bozeman 19. LB Junior Colson 18. TE Oronde Gadsden II 17. S Elijah Molden 16. RB Najee Harris 15. CB Cam Hart 14. DL Teair Tart 13. TBA 12. TBA 11. TBA 10. TBA 9. TBA 8. TBA 7. TBA 6. TBA 5. TBA 4. TBA 3. TBA 2. TBA 1. TBA
