New York Sports News
In the recent NBA news, Jamal Crawford announced his retirement on Monday via Twitter. This declaration comes a day after the legend's 42 birthday. Over the years, Jamal has played for teams such as the Warriors, Bulls, Suns, Trail Blazers, Atlanta Hawks, Knicks, Timberwolves and Clippers. He played his final game for the Brooklyn Nets during the NBA's Disney World's bubble. Crawford has won the Sixth Man of The Year Awards on three occasions. On average, he has garnered 14.6 points, 3.4 assists and 2.2 rebounds over the course of his 2 decades career.
NFL Free Agency 2022
There have been several contracts signed for the NFL free agents and there are still many more to come. Za'Darius Smith signed a three-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings. This deal was worth $42 million and up to $47 million with incentives. The Baltimore Ravens had tried to sign in Smith, but he declined their $50 million, four-year proposal. On the other hand, Atlanta Falcons' Matt Ryan was moved to the Indianapolis Colts with Marcus Mariota replacing him. Additionally, quarterback Jameis Winston renewed his 2-year contract with the New Orleans Saints on Monday.
Even with several quarterbacks securing a spot, Jimmy Garoppolo is yet to. There are several possibilities for him because many teams have not yet picked a quarterback including Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans. However, the Panthers are not likely to sign Jimmy as he is not among the exclusive quarterbacks. But, we might be surprised. Deshaun Watson will be playing for the Cleveland Browns, while Aaron Rodgers remains at Green Bay Packers. Kirk Cousins will remain at Minnesota Vikings, Russel Wilson moved to the Denver Broncos and the Steelers choose Mitchell Trubisky.
