Watson Says Browns Fans’ Booing Feels Personal After Preseason Loss

Deshaun Watson called the Browns’ own fans’ boos during a 31-7 preseason loss to the Bills 'disrespectful' and 'personal' after he went 5-for-12 for 36 yards with an interception. He spoke amid a QB competition with Shedeur Sanders as Cleveland prepares for a season opener vs. Jacksonville, with coach Todd Monken undecided on the starter. Watson’s tumultuous Browns tenure — including the 2022 trade for three first-round picks, a $230 million fully guaranteed contract, and an 11-game suspension — has been marked by injuries and polarized reception, including past cheers when he injured his Achilles in 2024. Coworker/co-owner Haslam has acknowledged the Watson move as a "big swing and miss."

Vikings roll the dice on Caleb Banks at 18, chasing a high-ceiling interior disruptor

The Minnesota Vikings shocked NFL observers by selecting Florida defensive tackle Caleb Banks at No. 18 in the 2026 NFL Draft, a pick driven by his high upside despite a lengthy injury history and multiple foot surgeries. The team conducted extensive due diligence—CT clearance, several touchpoints with Banks, a Gainesville visit, and a top-30 visit—and credited their medical staff for giving them confidence to pull the trigger. Analysts questioned his health and college production, but Minnesota believes Banks’ rare size, length and athleticism could translate into a premium interior pass rusher if he stays healthy and develops under their coaching staff.

49ers Sign Mike Evans on a Cap-Savvy, Likely Short-Term Deal

San Francisco reportedly signed veteran WR Mike Evans to a $60.4 million, three-year deal that may be structured as a shorter-term arrangement for cap purposes. Evans, who turns 33 and has a significant injury history, is expected to be used in a role similar to Jauan Jennings rather than Brandon Aiyuk, with the 49ers weighing further WR moves and potentially moving on from Aiyuk or adding another receiver in the draft.
