DHS IG opens broad contract probe tied to Noem and Lewandowski

The Department of Homeland Security's inspector general has launched a wide-ranging investigation into how contracts are solicited and handled, with former Secretary Kristi Noem and her de facto chief of staff Corey Lewandowski reportedly involved. The probe appears separate from an earlier audit of DHS grants and contracts and has led to record-preservation orders for dozens of DHS staff. DHS would not confirm the investigation; Noem, now a State Department envoy, and Lewandowski have faced scrutiny over contracting decisions and a policy requiring Noem's sign-off on contracts above $100,000, amid broader concerns about advertising spending during the Trump era.

Six Free-Agent Deals That Could Backfire in 2026

An NFL analysis piece flags six 2026 free-agent signings as likely to age poorly: Raiders’ Tyler Linderbaum at 3 years, $81M with $60M guaranteed (high cap hit and long guarantees); Browns’ Zion Johnson at 3 years, $49.5M despite mediocre guard play; Titans’ Wan’Dale Robinson at four years, $70M; Giants’ Isaiah Likely at 3 years, $40M for a limited tight end resume; Panthers’ Jaelan Phillips at four years, $120M amid injury history; and Dolphins’ Malik Willis at 3 years, $67.5M in a teardown scenario. The piece argues these deals overpay relative to market norms and could constrain teams long-term.
