Spencer Rattler had a good reason for missing Tyler Shough, Brandin Cooks group workout
Tyler Shough, Brandin Cooks organized throwing sessions in Oregon Three of the New Orleans Saints' four quarterbacks joined most of the team's wide receivers at a group workout in Beaverton, Ore. this week -- Nick Underhill reports that Tyler Shough scripted throwing sessions for himself, Jake Haener and Hunter Dekkers. Brandin Cooks organized the whole event with made sure guys like Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed were in attendance. But Spencer Rattler had a good reason for missing out. He had already committed to hosting a youth football camp back in South Carolina and clearly didn't want to leave the campers out to dry. Unlike, say, ex-Pittsburgh Steelers wideout George Pickens, who backed out of a similar commitment of his own after being traded to the Dallas Cowboys. Underhill added that Cooks already worked out with Rattler in Arizona (where Rattler is from) earlier this offseason, and that they're planning to do so again with more of the receivers before camp. Previously, Shough told reporters that he and Cooks were planning workouts in both Oregon and Texas before the Saints regroup for training camp in a few weeks: "We're getting a good group together. It's Brandin Cooks kind of leading that charge. He's such a great influence, just on the whole team, offensively-wise." We'll see if Rattler and the other quarterbacks participate next time in Dallas, but it's reassuring to know he had a valid excuse. Skipping a workout with your teammates because of some beef over a starting job is one thing. A scheduling conflict that puts you on the other side of the country is something else. Keeping your word to a bunch of young athletes and their families is worth taking a rain check to put in some work another day.

Former NFL star Brown wanted for attempted murder: police
Miami – Police in Florida have issued a warrant for the arrest of former NFL star Antonio Brown on a charge of attempted murder, authorities confirmed on Friday. Super Bowl-winner Brown is wanted in connection with an incident at an amateur boxing event in Miami on May 16. A copy of the warrant said 'several' witnesses saw Brown fire shots following a physical altercation with another man. The warrant said Brown had grabbed the handgun from a security guard. An off-duty police officer providing security for the event detained Brown before other police arrived on the scene. No gun was found on Brown, and the other man involved in the fight with the ex-Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver was not immediately located. The arrest warrant said two spent shell casings were recovered from the scene along with a discarded firearm holster. Brown later addressed the incident in a post on X on May 17, saying he had been 'jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me.' 'Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me,' Brown wrote. 'I went home that night and was not arrested.' The incident is the latest in a long line of legal problems faced by Brown, who spent most of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers before later winning a Super Bowl with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021. Brown was accused of sexual assault by a former trainer in a 2019 civil suit which he later settled, and also pleaded no contest to burglary and battery in 2020 after an incident with a removal truck company outside his home. Brown's NFL career came to an end after he famously removed his jersey and stormed off the field during a Tampa Bay game against the New York Jets in 2022.
