Jimmy Kimmel is in renewal talks with Disney's ABC to stay on as host of Jimmy Kimmel Live beyond the 2026–27 season, likely via a one-year deal to preserve flexibility amid tightening late-night economics, production costs, and shifting ad spending, while the show remains a cultural mainstay.

The 49ers announced a long-term extension for head coach Kyle Shanahan this offseason, taking his tenure well beyond the previously reported through-2027 deal; the exact length remains undisclosed and there has been no public confirmation of a parallel extension for GM John Lynch, keeping intact the Shanahan-Lynch partnership from 2017 while underscoring San Francisco’s commitment to its coaching staff.

Rumors suggest Jimmy Kimmel could exit "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" when his contract ends in May 2027, potentially ending a 24-year run, though ABC calls the reports speculative. The piece also recalls turbulence around the host, including a 2025 suspension over controversial jokes tied to Charlie Kirk’s murder aftermath, and notes Kimmel’s private Hermosa Beach home as his quiet retreat.

The Vikings kept J.J. McCarthy on the roster to avoid a $4.85 million guaranteed hit under CBA rules that prevent renegotiating a drafted rookie’s contract in the first three seasons; with Kyler Murray winning the QB1 job and Carson Wentz as backup, McCarthy could open as QB3, leaving open a future move, especially since 2027 is the final year of his rookie deal.

Dana White says Michael 'Venom' Page won’t be re-signed after his UFC contract expired, capping a 5-1 run since leaving Bellator in 2024; his lone loss came to Ian Garry, and critics noted his cautious, striking-focused style prevented finishes, with Page subsequently removed from UFC rankings.

Dana White confirmed the UFC will not re-sign Michael Page after his contract expired, following a Paris win that concluded his agreement and led to his removal from rankings. Page’s future destination is unclear, with potential moves eyed to other promotions like PFL or BKFC.

Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to a three-year, $165 million extension through the 2029 season (about $55 million per year), ending ongoing contract-talk drama after talks resumed following a training camp pause. Mayfield has been Tampa Bay’s starter for three years, helping the team win a division title and postseason win in his first year, with 2025 stats of 63.2% completion, 3,693 yards, 25 TD and 11 INT, and the Buccaneers opening the 2026 season on the road against the Bengals.

The New York Giants released wide receiver Darius Slayton, a surprising move given his three-year, $36 million deal and $9.75 million guaranteed for this year. The cut saves about $2.5 million this season, and the Giants reportedly explored a trade but found no takers. Slayton caught 37 passes for 538 yards and one TD last season, so he should draw interest from other teams at a more affordable price.

Clemson’s Dabo Swinney faces a growing contract buyout tied to a five-year descending schedule, with a $57 million buyout starting in 2027 (versus $60 million total compensation), meaning firing in 2026 would save about $3 million but Clemson would still owe the full amount if he leaves for another job due to no mitigation clause. The scrutiny comes after a 51-10 thrashing by LSU that underscored a program that has slipped from its playoff-era dominance, though Swinney remains Clemson’s winningest coach and could be retained if the season improves.

Harrison Smith returns to the Minnesota Vikings for another season on a $12.25 million base package that can rise to $16.25 million with incentives, including a $6.95 million signing bonus and $4 million in per‑game roster bonuses; the veteran safety is viewed as a crucial “glue guy” whose presence could bolster Minnesota’s defense and help fuel a potential playoff run, though the guaranteed portion sits around $8.25 million if he doesn’t hit all incentives.

Michael Page defeated Nursulton Ruziboev by unanimous decision in Paris and, having fought out his UFC contract, said he plans an honest talk with the promotion about re-signing, urging for tougher opponents and more risks to deliver a finish, insisting the fans and UFC deserve more from him.

Tony Romo’s future at CBS looks bleak after his Wisconsin OWI arrest, with insiders saying there’s a 95% chance he won’t return and CBS could pursue a buyout of roughly $72 million owed on the remaining contract years as J.J. Watt steps in, all while the network weighs brand impact and a court date for Romo.

CBS is expected to part ways with Tony Romo after his July OWI arrest and a four-year, roughly $72 million contract, likely via a buyout rather than a full termination, as negotiations unfold and insiders peg a ~95% chance he won’t return to CBS.

An ongoing UNC investigation into alleged misconduct within the Tar Heels program—amid Lombardi’s resignation—could put Bill Belichick at risk of a for-cause firing if evidence shows he knew about or failed to report the violations under his $50 million contract, potentially ending his buyout; the article notes that the contract’s termination provisions hinge on misconduct known to or not reported by Belichick or his staff and could be used to oust him if such findings arise.
