Super Bowl Rival Asked Patriots to ‘Let Us Know’ About Drake Maye Pick
The New England Patriots retained the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NFL draft to select quarterback Drake Maye, despite receiving numerous offers. Notably, their Super Bowl rivals, the New York Giants, expressed significant interest in acquiring the pick. This interest was highlighted during a conversation at the Scouting Combine between Giants’ general manager Joe Schoen and assistant GM Brandon Brown, captured for HBO’s “Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants” on Max.
Following this discussion, Schoen contacted the Patriots’ de facto GM Eliot Wolf to reiterate the Giants’ interest. Wolf acknowledged receiving calls from other teams but did not disclose the Patriots’ plans. The Patriots’ true intentions became clear when they selected Maye with the No. 3 pick, securing a potential franchise quarterback after Tom Brady’s departure in 2020.
AL East rival made big contract offer to Aaron Judge
Two years ago, Aaron Judge attracted significant interest from multiple teams during his free agency period. Among these teams was a surprising contender: the Tampa Bay Rays. According to a report by Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times, the Rays had discussed offering Judge a 10-year, $300 million contract prior to the last season.
Despite the Rays’ offer being less lucrative than others, Judge expressed his appreciation for their interest, stating, “It was a very respectful offer, and I appreciated that they reached out and that they thought enough of me to do that.” Judge also reflected on how unusual it would have been to play for the Rays after having spent his entire career competing against them.
Peyton Manning Reveals 1 WR He Wishes He Played With
Peyton Manning is widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks in football history. If it weren’t for the remarkable careers of Tom Brady and Joe Montana, Manning, who starred for the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts, would likely be considered the greatest ever to play the position. Although Manning doesn’t surpass Brady and Montana in terms of Super Bowl victories, he still boasts two titles with two different franchises. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering the Colts had written him off, leading to his late-career resurgence with the Broncos, further cementing his Hall of Fame legacy.
Throughout his career, Manning had the privilege of playing alongside some exceptional talents, especially at the wide receiver position. He threw passes to legendary players such as Marvin Harrison, Demaryius Thomas, and Reggie Wayne, among others. Despite his experience with numerous elite receivers, Manning revealed a surprising choice when asked which player he wished he had the chance to throw to, just ahead of the Netflix premiere of “Receiver,” produced by Omaha Productions.
“One, Raymond Berry,” Manning stated. “Old Baltimore Colt. Going with Raymond Berry. Got to spend some time with him. He was a true master of his craft.” Instead of opting for more contemporary stars like Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, or current sensation Justin Jefferson, Manning chose Berry, a name that might not come to mind for many fans today.

Lennon Miller Rangers transfer scouting mission revealed as Motherwell kid watched
Rangers scouts assessed Motherwell’s Lennon Miller during his first pre-season match last weekend, where the 17-year-old contributed to a 2-1 victory over Livingston. With an impressive breakout season last year, including 32 appearances and notable performances against Celtic, Miller has caught the attention of the Ibrox club. Manager Philippe Clement is focused on revamping the squad, having already signed several new players for the upcoming season. A potential move for Miller fits Rangers’ strategy of acquiring young talent to develop and sell for a profit. Miller is contracted with Motherwell until 2026, giving the club a strong position in any negotiations.
