Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones, a second-round pick, is expected to share the load with Peyton Barber, with Charles Sims having a chance to keep the third-down role he had in 2017.

New Rob Gronkowski Deal Is Likely

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is "likely" to receive a new contract, but "nothing is imminent," according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
