🏈 Good morning to all, but especially to …

Josh Allen, Myles Garrett, DK Metcalf and ADAMS

Show me the money! On the eve of the NFL -free agent’s negotiation window, Josh Allen and Myles Garrett I have record configuration contracts while Dk metcalf joined the party after being marketed in the Steellersand the Rams signed FROM ADAMS.

We will start with Allen, because … Wow. Is a Six -year -old $ 330 million For the reigning MVP, including a guaranteed $ 250 million NFL record. $ 55 million a year are tied for the second part of any playerjust behind Dak Prescott. Allen still had four years in his current agreement, but this is linked to Buffalo until 2030.

After a test last month, Garrett also goes nowhere. The defensive player of the year 2023 agreed to a Four -year extent of $ 160 million; $ 40 million annually make it the the most lucrative in the story. Garrett requested a trade more than a month ago and as recently as Friday, Brown owner Jimmy Haslam refused to meet with Garrett. But the cooler bosses (and a lot of money) prevailed.

This was also a great victory for Micah Parsons, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Trey Hendrickson, Non -quarters looking for great days of paymentGarrett Podell notes.

As for a player the commercial request made Come to Bon, Metcalf is Heading to Pittsburgh to make a second round And reach a five -year agreement of $ 150 million as well. Their degrees of tradeBryan Deardo liked this movement for the steelers but when Cody Benjamin ranked the biggest movements of the weekendIt wasn’t that optimistic.

Now Steelers have to discover who will throw the ball to Metcalf, George Pickens and others. Here are the options.

It Seahawks You also need a quarterback After negotiating Geno Smithwith whom he meets with Pete Carroll In Las Vegas after he and Seattle could not be shaped in an extension. It Raiters sent a third round to Seattle’s Way.

Finally, Adams is Joining the bouquets in a two-year agreement of $ 46 million. I like the movement on both sides: Jared Dubin even had Adams and the bouquets together NFC FREE AGENT MATCHMAK – and Sean McVay will have fun with the Matthew Stafford/PUKA NACUA/Adams/Kyren Williams Four -headed monster.

🏀 Female University Basketball: UCLA, South Carolina among the winners of the conference tournament

Surely I hope you have not focused only on men’s side this weekend, because the female conference tournaments contributed the heat, no more than the Big Ten tournament, where Ucla surpassed a two -digit deficit to overcome USC, 72-67, in the championship match.

How big was this? The Bracketologist of CBS Sports Connor Groel projects the Bruins will get the selection number 1 of the seed selection.

UCLA lost the first two meetings, and it seemed that the Trojans would make him a three-game sweep, which led 48-35 at the beginning of the third quarter. But the Bruins beat the Trojans 37-19 the rest of the road, with Lauren Betts Directing the office offensively (13 points in the second half) and everyone defended themselves in defense. USC star Juju Watkins got only 11 points on 4 of 15 shooting in the second half. It Bruins pledged to bottled Watkins at each stepHowever, what also arose was a UCLA template that seemed to rediscover his mojo, Jack Maloney, writes.

• Maloney: “If the Bruins get the second version of Betts at the NCAA tournament, they can absolutely win the first national championship in the history of the program.”

Bruins’ search for the first seed was helped by South Carolina tremble Texas, 64-45in the championship of the dry tournament. Longhorns had been the number 1 of the country and, on the line of global seed number 1, before a offensive anemic who condemned them sentenced to them.

Longhorns are not the only ones who fell at the wrong time. Duke upset Our lady, 61-54, in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament. The blue devils went to beat NC state In the final on Sunday, but the stumbling blockading Irish could be the biggest story. Notre the first place in late February, Notre Dame lost three out of five in the NCAA tournament.

Here is our conference championship, and here is our trawl For each tournament.
