Rams sign WR Tutu Atwell to one-year, $10 million contract
Atwell, 25, posted the best season of his young career in 2024, recording 42 receptions for 562 yards. The improved production is a welcome sign, but this is a sizeable investment to make in a decent, undersized receiver. Also, with the pact lasting just one year, the Rams won’t gain any future benefit should Atwell continue to improve. I’m not a fan of this deal.

Utah hires Alex Jensen as head coach
The trend of college basketball programs — or at least power conference ones residing in Utah — hiring NBA assistants as head coaches continues. BYU’s dice roll on Kevin Young looks to have been smart, so perhaps Utah will find similar success with Jensen.
The 48-year-old has deep ties to the school, playing for the Utes from 1994-2000 — experience that should serve him well as he transitions back to the college game. Jensen previously served as an assistant for Saint Louis from 2007-2011.
