Dennis Lindsey's career began as a video coordinator and scout with the Houston Rockets, where he advanced through various roles to become assistant GM. His tenure with the Utah Jazz saw a 391-327 record, showcasing his ability to build competitive teams.
The Cowboys have agreed to terms with the San Francisco 49ers to send Odighizuwa to the Bay Area in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and Thomas is heading to the Tennessee Titans for a seventh-round swap in April. The deals come a few months after Dallas traded to acquire both Pro Bowler Kenny Clark and All-Pro Quinnen Williams, revamping the defensive tackle position in a major way.
There's a lot of talk about the UFAs and what they could do, but the word around the Maple Leafs now is that they're widening their scope of what they'd consider.

By the by, it appears that Alex Anthopoulos spoke to reporters yesterday.

1913 The White Sox purchased the contract of a future Hall-of-Famer, pitcher Urban "Red" Faber, from Des Moines for $3,500. Faber would go on to win 254 games, with four seasons of 20 or more wins with Chicago. In the 1917 World Series win over the Giants Faber went 3-1, throwing 27 innings, with two complete games and a 2.33 ERA.
