Report: Cowboys dock Trevon Diggs $500,000 for not rehabbing with the team enough
Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs will lose $500,000 from his base salary for not rehabbing at the team facility enough. Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports the Cowboys will enforce the de-escelator in Diggs' contract that stipulated he participate in 84.375 percent of the offseason program at the team facility. Thus, Diggs' base salary will go from $9 million to $8.5 million for 2025. The team had the option of not enforcing the clause, and Diggs is believed to be the first Cowboys' player to see his base salary lowered because of it. Dallas places base-salary de-escalator clauses in its large contracts, all but guaranteeing participation in the offseason program. Diggs tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a Week 3 practice in 2023. Diggs now is rehabbing the same knee after chondral bone graft surgery Jan. 23, which entails transplanting pieces of bone tissue into the joint to stimulate growth. He could miss most or all of the 2025 season. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones publicly rebuked Diggs for his previous rehab, which was away from the team facility. Diggs, a two-time Pro Bowler who led the NFL with 11 interceptions in 2021, has played only 13 games the past two seasons with three interceptions.

Insider reveals asking price for Mavericks target, Lakers star LeBron James
If the Los Angeles Lakers move on from LeBron James, many expected the Dallas Mavericks to be in the mix. However, from the Lakers' perspective, trading James is the only way it could make some sense. The Lakers have limited assets and nearly no draft picks to move on from. Advertisement If they could get two or more for James, they'd at least put themselves in a better position to pair Luka Doncic, the former Mavericks star, with more talent. And according to a recent article from the Dallas Morning News, if the Lakers move on from him, executives and agents around the league believe the Lakers would be looking for multiple rotation players, whether it be from the Mavericks or another team. 'The Dallas Morning News spoke to several league executives, agents and team personnel during the first day of games in Las Vegas and there was one common sentiment: It would be extremely difficult for the Mavericks, and most teams, to acquire a player like James through a trade without parting ways with multiple rotation players,' they wrote. While it's possible that James could be bought out, it's tough to see a scenario where that plays out. Advertisement Ultimately, the Lakers have to worry about their future, and if James doesn't want to play for them any longer, they should eventually be able to find a home for him.

Of course, there's always the side of an argument that suggests that adding James brings other things to a team, as he's a massive figure, but that's something teams would have to figure out.

Hearst to buy the Dallas Morning News
A New York-based media company has announced it will buy the Dallas Morning News, ending the newspaper's 140-year history of local ownership. Why it matters: The DMN was among a few large newspapers in the country that were still family owned. The DMN purchase will put Hearst over the largest newspapers in Texas. The intrigue: Hedge funds have taken over many newspapers across the country and gutted them. Hearst appears to be a better outcome for the DMN. The company also owns the Houston Chronicle, San Antonio Express-News, Austin American-Statesman and other smaller Texas news outlets. Flashback: George Bannerman Dealey oversaw the launch of the Dallas Morning News in 1885. Zoom out: The DMN's former headquarters, known for its "Rock of Truth" facade, was at risk of being sold to a data center earlier this year.

Hearst buys parent company of Dallas Morning News, expanding Texas footprint
Hearst announced Thursday that it was expanding its presence in Texas with the acquisition of DallasNews Corp., the parent company of the Dallas Morning News. Shareholders at the publicly traded DallasNews will receive $14 per share, valuing the deal at nearly $75 million, the Dallas Morning News reported. The Dallas Morning News will join the company's Hearst Newspapers division, the company said, which publishes 28 dailies and 50 weeklies, including the San Francisco Chronicle, the Houston Chronicle and Times Union in Albany, N.Y. The Dallas Morning News, one of the largest newspapers in Texas, has served the Dallas-Fort Worth area for 140 years and won nine Pulitzer Prizes. The acquisition also includes Medium Giant, a marketing firm also owned by DallasNews. The marketing firm will ' complement Hearst Newspapers' agency level services,' the company said in a statement. 'Hearst Newspapers is committed to supporting The Dallas Morning News' continued success through smart investments in their digital strategy, compelling journalism and expanded audience reach,' Jeff Johnson, president of Hearst Newspapers, said in a statement. The acquisition was expected to close in the next few months, Hearst said. Hearst was also reportedly a bidder for the Santa Rosa Press Democrat this spring but that publication, and six others in the North Bay, was purchased by Alden Capital, an investment firm that has been criticized for reducing the number of journalists in its newsrooms.
