Between Kyler Murray and Deshaun Watson, here’s what the new guaranteed QB money spectrum means for the NFL

Four months ago, when Deshaun Watson signed the most staggering contract in NFL history, a fully guaranteed $230 million dollar deal, the salary implications across the league were unmistakable.

Google’s adding the app permissions section back to the Play Store

Google says it’s rolling back its decision to remove a section from the Play Store that listed which permissions an app uses.

Russia calls out United States in Brittney Griner case as Stephen Curry, others speak out at ESPYs

Russia is speaking out against the United States in the Brittney Griner case, just one day after the Phoenix Mercury star was front and center at the ESPYs. Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday that the United States classifying Griner as “wrongfully detained” shows blatant disrespect for Russian law. Even though marijuana is legal in various states, Zakharova said, it doesn’t matter one bit in Russia. “If a U.S. citizen was taken in connection with… Source link

Don’t expect to see Novak Djokovic playing in the US Open next month, for reasons that should already be very clear.

Kyler Murray’s $46 million annual salary is almost the same as the Athletics’ 2022 payroll

We can finally put to bed the question of whether or not Kyler Murray made a mistake of picking football over baseball. After Murray signed a lucrative five-year, $230.5 million contract extension with the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday, his $46.1 million annual salary was almost that of the entire 2022 payroll of the Oakland Athletics — the same team that drafted him ninth overall in 2018. Yes, the Athletics are only spending $48.5 million this season. If you only look at the 26-man roster,… Source link
