Amari Cooper To See Plenty Of Targets

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper is the team's clear No. 1 pass-catcher by a wide margin. He has been quick and confident in training camp while the middle to bottom of an unproven receiver depth chart has been plagued by injuries and drops this summer. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett is a big downgrade from Deshaun […]

There was some hope that […]

Kevin Durant Rescinds Trade Request

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant will remain with the team this season.
