The clock is ticking on Jaxson Dart's all-consuming Giants ascension
'Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll will continue in their respective roles with the organization. As disappointing as the results of the season have been, Steve [Tisch] and I remain confident in the process that Joe and Brian have implemented and their vision for our team. We look forward to the future and achieving the results we all desire.'
Moments later, Mara stood before a media throng in the field house that houses the four Super Bowl banners and said:
'That's obviously the No. 1 issue for us going into this offseason, is to find our quarterback of the future, whether that be via the draft or acquire a veteran. It's going to be up to them to decide.'

49ers Drawing Attention From Notable Free Agent Wide Receiver
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. With training camp underway, the San Francisco 49ers are hoping to make a run back to Super Bowl contention. After missing the playoffs last season and being plagued by injuries, the 49ers want to emulate their success from two years ago when they made a run to the big game. Unfortunately, in that Super Bowl, San Francisco was unable to defeat Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. One of the big questions the 49ers are facing comes at the wide receiver position. Gabe Davis #0 of the Jacksonville Jaguars looks on during the fourth quarter against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium on September 23, 2024 in Orchard Park, New York.

While the 49ers have good players at the position, Aiyuk is still working his way back from a torn ACL and they don't have a lot of depth. To that end, it's possible that John Lynch could consider making a move to bring another wide receiver in. One name has shown interest in signing with San Francisco. Former Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis has been open about his interest in the 49ers. During an appearance on the "Up & Adams Show," Davis spoke out about San Francisco. "San Fran is definitely a spot I'm looking at," Davis said. "Shanahan's the man. He knows how to call an offense. They just got a lot of great weapons around there... Definitely a team that interests me because I like to be around great players." Read more: Browns Defender Shockingly Decides to Retire During Training Camp Last season with the Jaguars, Davis played in 10 games. He caught 20 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns. Back in 2023 with the Bills, however, he racked up 45 catches for 746 yards and seven touchdowns. Davis has always been known as a deep threat. With Brock Purdy under center, he could be a big-time addition for the 49ers. Adding another big-play threat could be what takes the offense to the next step. Bringing in more quality weapons for a franchise quarterback like Purdy is always a wise decision. Davis is clearly interested in the opportunity. Lynch should seriously consider it.

File Photo by Derik Hamilton/UPI | License Photo July 25 (UPI) -- Cleveland Browns linebacker Jordan Hicks will retire from the NFL after 10 seasons, he announced Friday on Instagram. Hicks signed a two-year deal in 2024. "After 23 years of playing football, I'm officially retiring from the NFL," Hicks wrote on the social media platform. "Football has given me more than I could have ever imagined. Purpose, discipline, brotherhood and a platform to impact others. But most importantly, it showed me who I am outside the game." Hicks, 33, entered the league as a third-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2015 NFL Draft. He spent four seasons with the NFC East franchise, including its Super Bowl winning 2017-18. Hicks, who signed an $8 million deal with the Browns last off-season, totaled 78 combined tackles, four passes defensed, four tackles for a loss and two sacks over 12 starts in 2024. "Congrats on an incredible 10 seasons in the league, Jordan," the Browns said. "You've been a driven, resilient playmaker your entire career and a valued leader in our building this past year. Best wishes in this next stage with your family." Hicks totaled 952 combined tackles, 53 passes defensed, 51 tackles for a loss, 16.5 sacks, 13 interceptions, 11 fumble recoveries, six forced fumbles and two defensive scores over 134 career appearances. He also played for the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings. "I leave this chapter with deep gratitude for every lesson, challenge, and victory," Hicks wrote. "I'm proud of what I accomplished on the field, but even more proud of the man I've become because of it. "To my teammates, coaches, fans, and most importantly my family: thank you for your unwavering support throughout this journey. I'm looking forward to this next season of life and all that it brings. I walk away with peace knowing I gave football all I had, and that the best is yet to come." Devin Bush, Mohamoud Diabate, Carson Schwesinger and Jerome Baker are among the linebackers on the Browns' roster.

Where do the Eagles rank in spending at each position entering training camp?
Where are the Eagles spending their money this season? Here's a look at how Philadelphia's salary cap breaks down by position entering training camp The NFL season is upon us, as Philadelphia and 31 other teams around the league have reported for the start of an urgent training camp. The Eagles lost several key starters and contributors in free agency but bounced back and made several efficient signings to complete the first wave. On offense, the backup running back and starting right guard departed, leaving an explosive offense with two holes that need to be filled. All wasn't lost, as the Eagles added a running back, three pass-rushing linebackers, two tight ends, a cornerback, and a new long snapper. The Eagles added ten talented rookies on NFL draft weekend, and their first-round pick looked like the best athlete on the field through the first two days of practice. The defense has undergone an overhaul after defensive tackle Milton Williams (New England), Josh Sweat (Arizona), cornerback Darius Slay (Pittsburgh), cornerback Isaiah Rodgers (Minnesota), and linebacker Oren Burks (Cincinnati) all departed via free agency. Philadelphia currently has about $30,522,977 in cap space per Over The Cap, and they're spending about $146,676,032 on offense, while only spending $65,557,783 on defense after those free agent departures and the Bryce Huff trade. After years of the offensive and defensive lines carrying the financial load, the Eagles have several skill players who are among the highest-paid at their positions. The Eagles will again be a Super Bowl favorite in the NFC and have one of the most talented rosters despite having one of the lowest average positional spending. Here's where Philadelphia sits in positional spending on both sides of the ball, thanks to Over The Cap. Offense Total spending:$147,516,032 NFL rank: 14th After years of having both sides of the football hover around $80+ million, the offense has ballooned with Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Lane Johnson, Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, and Dallas Goedert all among the highest paid at their positions. QB Total spending: $24,881,738 NFL rank: 17th Biggest cap hit: Jalen Hurts ($21,869,800) Howie Roseman's wizardry is in the numbers, and despite Jalen Hurts being due $42,000,000 guaranteed, his cap hit in 2025 is half that number. RB Total spending: $13,758,074 NFL rank: 12th Biggest cap hit: Saquon Barkley ($6,661,000) Even with the highest paid salary to a running back in NFL history, Barkley only counts $6 million in cap space. WR Total spending: $34,033,908 NFL rank: 11th Biggest cap hit: A.J. Brown ($17,591,894) Philadelphia has two players making over $25 million a season, yet they are 11th in total spending at the position. TE Total spending: $17,357,998 NFL rank: 13th Biggest cap hit: Dallas Goedert $10,714,463 The Eagles reworked Goedert's contract, dropping his cap hit from $11,810,583 to $10,714,463 for 2025. Last season, Goedert played in 10 games, logging 42 receptions for 496 yards, averaging 11.8 yards per catch, and two scores. Goedert has missed 15 games since the start of the 2022 season and has only played a full slate of games once. OL Total spending: $57,484,314 NFL rank: 10th Biggest cap hits: Lane Johnson ($18,412,000) and Jordan Mailata ($15,235,233) Defense Total spending: $66,397,783 NFL rank: 32nd After seeing several big-name defenders exit and trading Bryce Huff, the Eagles' top-ranked defense is 32nd in spending at just over $66 million. DT Total spending: $18,310,628 NFL rank: 26th Biggest cap hit: Jalen Carter ($5,947,141), Jordan Davis ($5,399,786) The Eagles picked up Jordan Davis' fifth-year option, and his salary will balloon to a projected $12,900,000—the second-cheapest fifth-year option of the 32 players selected in the first round of the 2022 draft. Davis has recorded just 3.5 sacks in his three years with the team. Edge Rusher Total spending: $10,591,464 NFL rank: 32nd Biggest cap hit: Nolan Smith ($3,270,659) In March, Philadelphia saw $16 million in salary cap departures with Josh Sweat joining the Cardinals and Brandon Graham announcing his retirement. The Eagles gained more relief after trading Bryce Huff to the 49ers. Nolan Smith will enter year three of his rookie deal, while Jalyx Hunt will enter year two. Josh Uche and Azeez Ojulari will also have low cap hits. LB Total spending: $13,473,579 NFL rank: 25th The Eagles are 25th in the NFL after signing Zack Baun to a three-year, $51 million deal with an average annual salary of $17 million. The $17 million-per-year deal kept Baun off the free-agent market and makes him the fourth-highest-paid in the NFL, behind Fred Warner ($21 million per year), Roquan Smith ($20 million per year), and Tremaine Edmunds ($18 million). CB Total spending: $15,747,258 NFL rank: 29th Biggest cap hit: Quinyon Mitchell ($3,367,749) Darius Slay and James Bradberry were released, but their presence still hovered on the roster. Slay was a post-June 1 cut, meaning his $13.7 million salary cap hit was the fifth highest on the team. Bradberry counted $5,195,000. Second-year cornerback Quinyon Mitchell has the highest cap hit for a player on the roster at $3,367,749. S Total spending:$8,274,854 NFL rank: 32nd Biggest cap hit: Reed Blankenship ($1,845,000)
