Miles Sanders is the latest running back to criticize the market for the position.

Sanders signed a four-year, $25.4 million deal with the Carolina Panthers this offseason. He received $13 million guaranteed, but the $6.35 million average per year is far less than in past years.

The Indianapolis Colts have released Isaiah Rodgers and Rashod Berry after the pair were suspended for the 2023 season for violating the NFL's gambling policy.

Chris Ballard said the team stands unequivocally for "the integrity of the game."

"We ... made the roster moves as a consequence of the determination that these players violated the league's gambling policy," Ballard said in a team statement. "The integrity of the game is of the utmost importance. As an organization we will continue to educate our players, coaches and staff on the policies in place and the significant consequences that may occur with violations."

The New England Patriots have agreed to a contract extension with linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley, according to a source.

Bentley was under contract for 2023 and was set to earn up to $4.25 million between base salary, bonuses and incentives.

The two-year extension will now allow the linebacker to earn a maximum value of $18.75 million over the next three seasons, according to a source. 

Jacksonville Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson was suspended four games by the NFL for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy.

Robinson is eligible to participate in training camp and the preseason and will be allowed to return to the active roster Oct. 2.

He will lose $888,888 for each game suspended for a total of $3,555,552. 

J.J. Watt is joining CBS Sports as an analyst.

The multiple-time Defensive Player of the Year retired after the 2022 season.

"I love the game too much to be away from it entirely. I'm very excited to be joining CBS Sports to contribute across all their NFL shows and platforms, including working alongside and learning from JB, Coach, Boomer, Phil and Nate this fall," Watt said in a statement from CBS.

"Hopefully fans will enjoy the insights and knowledge I've gained over my 12 years in the NFL and if we're lucky, we'll share a few laughs along the way as well."

Isaiah Rodgers and Rashod Berry of the Indianapolis Colts and free agent Demetrius Taylor were suspended indefinitely -- through at least the 2023 season -- for betting on NFL games last season.

In addition, Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere was suspended six games for betting on other sports at the workplace. The four suspensions were announced Thursday by the NFL.

Travis Kelce told Vanity Fair that he estimates around 50 percent to 80 percent of NFL players use cannabis.

The tight end says that under the more lenient policy the NFL implemented in 2021, it's easy for players to use marijuana in the offseason and stop before testing begins.

"If you just stop in the middle of July, you're fine," he said. "A lot of guys stop a week before and they still pass because everybody's working out in the heat and sweating their tail off. Nobody's really getting hit for it anymore."

Kelce tested positive for marijuana and was suspended for the entire 2010 season during his time at the University of Cincinnati.

While injuries have hampered the Denver Broncos' wide receiver corps in recent years, Jerry Jeudy believes the group will be hard to stop in 2023.

Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, Tim Patrick and KJ Hamler have all played in the same game just twice in the past three years.

The importance of all four being healthy heading into the first season of the Sean Payton era isn't lost on Jeudy.

"It means a lot," Jeudy said. "We haven't been all on the same field in [how long], since my rookie year? So you know, it's been a tough few years. But having everybody on the field at the same time, it's going to be big, because I know what we're capable of, and they know what we're capable of. So having everybody on the same field is going to be a hard group of guys to stop."

Tyreek Hill offered the 57-year-old man whom the wide receiver allegedly slapped on June 18 a sum of $200 in the time after the incident, according to the police report.

Per the report, the dispute happened when Hill and others entered a docked private boat. The captain of the boat told them to leave. Hill allegedly said to the captain, "I can buy you and the boat."

During the dispute, an employee of Kelley Fishing Fleet walked over to the scene. Hill allegedly slapped that employee on the back of the neck.

Surveillance footage backs up the versions offered by the boat captain and the employee who was struck. The employee later identified Hill in a photo lineup.

Before Hill left the scene, he was heard telling an "associate" to give the alleged victim $200. The alleged victim did not accept the money.

A number of NFL players are expected to receive season-long suspensions this week for violating the league's policy on gambling, according to sources.

Indianapolis Colts cornerback and kick returner Isaiah Rodgers is the subject of a league investigation into possible violations of the league's gambling policy, including possible bets placed on Colts games.

Rodgers acknowledged the situation on social media earlier this month, saying he takes "full responsibility" for his actions.
