JWCC is the successor to Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI), which attracted contracting controversy and was canceled last year in favor of a multi-cloud approach.

There’s not a realistic scenario in which Lamar Jackson doesn’t make a lot of money playing football for the rest of his career. There might be 10-15 truly good NFL quarterbacks this season, and at his best Jackson is one of the best in the game. The “Jackson’s-bet-on-himself-is-a-loser” takes you’ll hear over the next week will be overstated and premature. He’ll get paid. The Washington Commanders made a trade this past offseason so they could pay Carson Wentz $22 million this season. So,… Source link

Fran Drescher is weighing in on Scarlett Johansson’s highly publicized lawsuit against Disney (DIS).

Draymond Green has rejoined the Golden State Warriors, and it would be understandable if the mood were a bit tense after his punch of teammate Jordan Poole. He’s just trying to move past it. The veteran spoke to reporters Thursday for the first time since stepping away from the team, and there was no shortage of topics. While Green was away, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr announced Green would be fined but not suspended for the punch, though his future with the club is still quite cloudy. As… Source link

Los Angeles Lakers vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka has agreed to a multiyear contract extension, league sources told Yahoo Sports. The new contract structure goes through 2026, sources said. The Lakers’ ownership group, led by Jeanie Buss, believes deeply in management and the coach being in alignment on one vision. Pelinka’s contract is now set to expire at the same time as first-year head coach Darvin Ham, who signed a four-year deal. Pelinka, 52, has been with the… Source link

The altercation between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole had been boiling since training camp began, sources told Yahoo Sports. Both Poole and Green are up for contract extensions, and it appears Poole will receive an extension while Green knows he has to play this season out — playing a part in leading to Green striking Poole, sources said. The Athletic first reported the altercation and the Warriors are considering disciplinary action against Green. Green was apologetic and emotional in the… Source link

Back in June, when Lamar Jackson finally addressed the mystery surrounding his languishing contract talks with the Baltimore Ravens, he suggested the most jaw-dropping pact in NFL history — the extension between Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns — had no bearing on his situation. “I’m a man of my own,” Jackson said. “I don’t worry about what those guys get.” On Friday, Jackson became a man on his own. No contract extension with the Ravens. No guaranteed money beyond 2022…. Source link
