Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits he cannot explain Chelsea’s recent spending spree, saying he prefers to concentrate on "coaching, developing and team building" instead. The Blues have spent over £400m since the consortium headed by billionaire Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital took over in the summer, with £140m of that coming in the last 15 days with potentially more to come before the end of the month. That is a lot more than Liverpool, who after buying Benfica forward Darwin Nunez for an initial £64m – which could rise to a club-record £85m with add-ons – and youngsters Fabio Carvalho (from Fulham for £5m) and Calvin Ramsay (from Aberdeen for £6.5m), have added £38m PSV Eindhoven forward Cody Gakpo as likely their only January transfer. Selected incomings under Todd Boehly Marc Cucurella - Brighton, £60m Raheem Sterling - Man City, £47.5m Kalidou Koulibaly - Napoli, £33m Carney Chukwuemeka - Aston Villa, £20m Wesley Fofana - Leicester, £75m … [Read more...] about Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp impressed by Chelsea’s big spending: ‘They can’t do this for next 10 years!’

USATSI The Dallas Cowboys have officially lost the title of "America's Team." That now belongs to the Detroit Lions . It started with Dan Campbell's kneecap comment when he was introduced as head coach. Then, the Lions quickly rose up through the "most likable" team power rankings with an appearance on HBO's "Hard Knocks." Detroit didn't let its new fans down in 2022, with a roller coaster of a season that ended on a high note. The Lions started off the 2022 campaign 1-6, but rebounded to win eight of their final 10 games. That included a surprising 20-16 upset win over the rival Green Bay Packers in the regular-season finale to keep Aaron Rodgers out of the postseason. After finishing second in the NFC North with their first winning season since 2017, everyone has eyes on the Lions moving forward. Detroit finished 2022 with the No. 4 offense in the NFL , but the worst defense in the league. Additions will have to be made on that side of the ball this offseason. … [Read more...] about Perfect Lions 2023 NFL Draft plan: Prioritize improving NFL’s worst defense, add another weapon for Jared Goff

Getty Images Sean Payton is heading to the Denver Broncos as the franchise's next head coach, according to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones , after Denver reportedly acquire his contractual rights from the New Orleans Saints . The Saints and Broncos have finalized trade compensation for head coach Sean Payton, according to ESPN , paving the way for the Super Bowl champion head coach to become Denver's next head coach. Denver sends it's 2023 first-round pick from San Francisco (No. 30 overall) and a 2024 second-round pick to New Orleans for Payton and their 2024 third-round pick, according to Adam Schefter . The first-round pick being sent by Denver is actually the one acquired from the Dolphins in exchange for linebacker Bradley Chubb . Miami acquired the pick initially from the 49ers as part of the Trey Lance deal. The Dolphins no longer have a first-round pick in 2023 after their own was forfeited as a result of the Tom Brady tampering investigation. … [Read more...] about Sean Payton trade grades: Broncos pony up for Super Bowl-winning head coach; Saints land two valuable picks

USATSI For the second time in six seasons, the Philadelphia Eagles are in the Super Bowl . Fresh off a rout of the 49ers in the NFC Championship, the Birds have now secured a championship berth in each of the last three decades, previously advancing to the big game in 2004 and 2017. They claimed the Lombardi Trophy their last time out, and this year, they entered the playoffs with a franchise-record 14 regular-season victories. With that in mind, it's fair to wonder: are the 2022 Eagles actually better than their title-winning predecessors? Of course we don't mean it in the literal sense; until they hoist their own trophy, they are inferior. But what about talent-wise? Are the present-day Birds even more dangerous, with an even more balanced roster? Let's run through the major positions and decide: QB 2017: Nick Foles Jalen Hurts Replacing an injured Carson Wentz , who was emerging as dynamic MVP candidate at the time, Foles proved to be a historic fill-in, … [Read more...] about Which Eagles Super Bowl team is better?

For the second time in three seasons, the New England Patriots found themselves on the outside looking in on the postseason. A large part of that lack of success in 2022 came due to a disjointed attack on offense headlined by Bill Belichick tapping both Matt Patricia and Joe Judge to oversee the offense. That saw a dramatic dip in production on that side of the ball and a regression from 2021 first-rounder Mac Jones . Well, Belichick has seemed to find the error of his way and has started the process of getting the organization back on track, recently hiring Bill O'Brien to become the team's next offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach. While that's a start, the roster could also upgrade for them to truly contend in what is a highly competitive AFC. And that starts at the NFL Draft . There are several positions New England could look to upgrade and we'll highlight a few areas they'll need to focus on once the draft gets rolling in late April. Before we do that, let's take a … [Read more...] about Perfect Patriots 2023 NFL Draft plan: Beef up the offensive line and search for a No. 1 WR for Mac Jones

Getty Images New York Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello made a big move Monday by acquiring proven scorer Bo Horvat . In exchange for their captain, the Vancouver Canucks are receiving forwards Anthony Beauvillier and Aatu Räty, as well as a protected 2023 first-round draft pick. Bo Horvat is excited to be an Islander. pic.twitter.com/EquFNPjTGB — New York Islanders (@NYIslanders) January 31, 2023 Horvat, who was selected ninth overall by the Canucks in the 2013 NHL Draft, was a pending unrestricted free agent. Leaving the team was not a big surprise, as he and the Canucks could not come to an agreement. The bigger shock was that the Islanders were not among the teams rumored as his next landing spot. "I'm not going to lie, in the summer time, and even at the beginning of the year, honestly, I thought I was going to be a Canuck. I thought I would be a Canuck life," Horvat said. "Things just didn't work out that way." "I thought I was going … [Read more...] about Islanders acquire Canucks captain Bo Horvat in trade for Anthony Beauvillier, Aatu Räty, 2023 draft pick

USATSI One of the bigger items on the checklist for player concerns during last year's owner-imposed lockout was that they wanted teams to stop suppressing the service time of the best prospects. That is, when a player is ready to play in the majors, just bring him up instead of worrying how much it'll cost in player control and arbitration salary in future years. Perhaps, very soon, a top prospect starting with the team out of spring training won't be a story. It still is, though, just like it was when the Mets brought Pete Alonso north with them in 2019 and last year the Mariners started Julio Rodríguez in the majors. Will Orioles pitcher Grayson Rodriguez have as much success as a rookie? He'll have the chance right away, as Orioles general manager Mike Elias said on MLB Network Radio that the team expects Rodriguez to start the season in the big-league rotation. Of course, Rodriguez probably would have debuted last season if not for a lat injury that held him … [Read more...] about Orioles expect top pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez to start 2023 season in majors

The New York Giants have several important decisions to make this offseason, and the most important one has to do with their quarterback. Daniel Jones is a free agent, and both Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll have said they are interested in bringing him back , but of course there's a business side to it all. Will Jones sign a short-term deal, a long-term deal or is he a candidate for the franchise tag? Giants legend Eli Manning , who held the position of franchise quarterback prior to Jones, hopes that the former first-round pick puts pen to paper on a long-term deal this offseason that will keep him in New York for years to come. "I was proud of Daniel, the way he played, to learn another offense and pick it up," Manning told ESPN . "Just the way he played in the fourth quarter of a number of games and leading the team back to victory, which was awesome; that's what you want from your quarterback. To do it so quickly with the brand-new … [Read more...] about Eli Manning says Daniel Jones has earned a long-term deal, hopes he is Giants QB for ‘a long time’

Getty Images The 2023 NFL coaching cycle maintained what's now an 11-year trend in which there have been at least five new head coaches. This year's coaching carousel is in full swing with three of the five head-coaching vacancies now filled -- the Denver Broncos, Houston Texans and the Carolina Panthers -- and two teams are still in the interview stages for their openings in the Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts. The Denver Broncos found their replacement to replace the fired Nathaniel Hackett on Tuesday after trading a 2023 first-round pick and a 2024 second-round pick to the New Orleans Saints for their former Super Bowl Champion head coach, Sean Payton. Their hope is that he can fix Russell Wilson, whom they parted with five draft picks and three players to acquire before signing him to a five-year, $245 million contract extension, right before he had the worst year of his 11-year career in 2022. The Houston Texans also found their head coach Tuesday, … [Read more...] about 2023 NFL head coach tracker: Broncos trade for Sean Payton; Texans complete homecoming with DeMeco Ryans
