Despite efforts from elsewhere, Jeremiah Smith said he knew he was not going to be leaving Ohio State this offseason.The Buckeyes' star receiver said this week that he was offered $10 million to enter the transfer portal, but he never considered leaving Columbus. Smith said the decision came down to more than money, suggesting he wanted to win a championship, develop as a player and build on the legacy he has started in Columbus.Jeremiah Smith turned down $10 million offers to leave Ohio State:Itll be dumb for me to leave Ohio State to go to another team when I have the best offensive line in the country, the best quarterback in the country and the best coaches in the country https://t.co/VlcXJdgb7S Stephen Means (@Stephen_Means) July 29, 2026Smith had this to say: Itll be dumb for me to leave Ohio State to go to another team when I have the best offensive line in the country, the best quarterback in the country and the best coaches in the country, as he spoke to media members on Wednesday in downtown Chicago. Smith arrived at Ohio State as the top recruit in the 2024 recruiting cycle, and immediately lived up to the hype. He led the Big Ten in receiving yards and touchdowns and also has won a National Championship with Ohio State. For this upcoming season, with quarterback Julian Sayin set to return, the combination of the two should keep Ohio State's passing game as one of the best in the country. For Ohio State, the message given at Big Ten Media Days is almost as important as the production. In an era where NIL has made rosters extremely difficult to keep on a yearly basis. Having the sport's best player, on the biggest stage, say that playing at Ohio State will offer more opportunities than just money can be a recruiting tool that head coach Ryan Day can continue to use on the trail.Contact/Follow us@BuckeyesWireon X (formerly Twitter) and like our page onFacebookto follow ongoing coverage of Ohio State news, notes, and opinion.Follow Sunny on X:@thesunnyvThis article originally appeared on Buckeyes Wire: Jeremiah Smith Stayed at Ohio State Despite $10 Million Offer

Jalen Hurts will again "keep the main thing, the main thing" as he learns another offensive system. Still, the Philadelphia Eagles are not changing the standard used to evaluate their franchise quarterback in a critical season that could impact his contract. Hurts entered his seventh NFL training camp Wednesday with Sean Mannion serving as his latest offensive coordinator. Nick Sirianni was asked whether Hurts experience changes how Philadelphia evaluates him compared with previous seasons involving coordinator transitions.No, Sirianni said. Were very proud that we make the job description very clear for each and every one of our players and that we have a standard of what we do at each position.Mannion replaced Kevin Patullo after Philadelphias offense lacked consistency during the 2025 season. Although the terminology, formations and specific responsibilities may change, Sirianni said the broader expectations for the star quarterback remain intact.Obviously, therell be different requirements and slightly different job descriptions, but the standard remains the standard, and well continue to grade upon that, Sirianni said.Hurts responsibilities extend beyond simple X's and O's. Philadelphia will evaluate his accuracy, decision-making, ball security, command at the line of scrimmage and ability to operate the offense efficiently. His experience should help him navigate the transition. Hurts has played under multiple coordinators and spent the offseason working with Mannions system while organizing throwing sessions with teammates in Orlando, Florida.Those workouts included quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends who will help shape the offense. Hurts said the work brought the group closer and provided noticeable benefits as they entered camp. GM Howie Roseman and Sirianni expect Mannion to tailor parts of the offense to Hurts strengths. Sirianni made clear that adaptation will not become an excuse for uneven execution.The job description may contain different details. The Eagles standard for their quarterback will not change.This article originally appeared on Eagles Wire: Nick Sirianni explains how Eagles will evaluate Jalen Hurts in 2026

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is coming off an impressive sophomore season where he set a franchise single-season passing record, led an NFL record seven fourth-quarter comebacks and led his team to their first playoff win in nearly two decades. But Williams still has a long way to go before he reaches his full potential.Bears general manager Ryan Poles opened up on what he'd like to see next in Williams' development. Poles made his goal very simple for the franchise quarterback, and that is to continue his development in his second season under head coach Ben Johnson.I'll just keep it broad, just to continue to get better," Poles said. "Be a master at his craft. If he does that, we'll be in good shape.Williams took a big step in his first year under Johnson, his second year in the league, but both parties have made it clear that his weakest spot, completion percentage, is going to be a big key of focus. In 2025, Williams took significantly less sacks, but his completion percentage dipped. Yet, he was still able to lead the franchise to an 11-win season, got them their first playoff victory since the 2010 season, and built optimism that as long as the development continues, so should the team success.Now, the hope is Williams can take another step in his development and help the Bears get another step closer to their goal of winning a Super Bowl.Follow Bears Wire onTwitter,FacebookandInstagramThis article originally appeared on Bears Wire: Ryan Poles shares what he wants to see from Bears QB Caleb Williams

PHILADELPHIA Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter wore a wide smile while he spoke to reporters after Wednesdays training camp practice at the Jefferson Health Training Complex. One day after signing a four-year, $152 million extension that made him the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history, Carter was surrounded by his family inside the media tent with teammate Jordan Davis proudly looking on.As the moment sank in, he felt a mix of emotions. He was happy to be staying with the Eagles long term, grateful for everyone who helped him along his journey, and excited for the next chapter of his career. It was important for me to stay here with the guys that I know and been playing with for the last three years, Carter said. Like I said, I let my agent do most of the talking. The numbers were not in my head like that. They just came back to me with information, and we got the deal done. The Eagles felt comfortable giving Carter a historic extension because they believe his best football is still ahead of him.Carter is arguably the NFLs most talented defensive tackle. If he plays at that level consistently this season, the Eagles will have one of the leagues best defenses.He came back in phenomenal shape with his weight, with his conditioning test, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said. Even with that contract still looming, he worked his a-- off, and Im proud of him for that.In extending a contract of this magnitude, the Eagles had to weigh whether Carter would continue to improve or become complacent. Carter said he is not driven by the money.I dont think the money is ever going to change me, Carter said. When you get picked in the first round in top-10 pick, you kind of get a little bit of decent money. And that didnt change me. I still came here. I had a goal. I let the team know and the fans know the goal was to get a championship. It happened. Its a new contract, and its time to get more championships for the city of Philly.After battling shoulder problems throughout the 2025 season, Carter said he is back to 100 percent this summer and feels like his old self again.Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts said Carter was disruptive during 11-on-11s, making things difficult for the offense during Wednesdays practice. Hurts is proud of Carters development.Before camp started, Hurts took the $5 bill his wife put in his book bag an inside joke between the couple and smacked the bill against Carters chest. Let me put five on top of that, Hurts told him.When Eagles linebacker Zack Baun was told of Carters new deal, he shouted: Lets f---ing go. Baun said Carter is a pleasure to play behind because he frees him up to make plays in the backfield.On the other side of the ball, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is looking forward to watching the next step in Carters development.MORE BY CAYDEN STEELEThis young Eagles player seemed destined for a bigger role.

The Arizona Cardinals are halfway through their second four-day block of practices, and they have started practicing in pads. Part of training camp is watching particular position battles. Where are key position battles at, and who has the lead?Running back: Rookie Jeremiyah Love and free agent addition Tyler Allgeier have both been getting regular first-team reps. It is tough to say who is in the lead right now, but it is Allgeier who usually gets the first reps. Right guard:While rookie Chase Bisontis has had a few first-team reps, Isaiah Adams has taken almost all the first-team reps and has been working as a starter all offseason. He is firmly in the lead right now. Inside linebacker:Cody Simon and Jack Gibbens have been competing for the starting job next to Mack Wilson. While Gibbens has gotten some work next to Wilson, Simon is still in the lead. Cornerback:While Will Johnson mans the No. 1 spot, the No. 2 spot is currently even between Max Melton and Denzel Burke. Safety:Dadrion Taylor-Demerson and Andrew Wingard are competing to replace the departed Jalen Thompson. Wingard appears to be in the lead, based on practice reps.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart enters his second season operating under an all-new infrastructure, brand-new coaching staff, and a completely different offensive playbook, but with the same old bravado. Dart, who burst onto the scene last year as a rookie with his seat-of-the-pants, devil-may-care style, captured the imagination of Giants fans and created an optimism not seen here in over a dozen years.The Giants didn't improve in the standings, however, winning just four games. That led the team to bring in an established winner, John Harbaugh, as the head coach. On Wednesday, at the Giants' first day of practice of their 2026 training camp in West Virginia, Dart spoke about Harbaugh and how he sees things panning out in the future. "Man, I love Harbs," Dart told reporters when asked about his impression of the new coach. "Just his intensity, his love for the game, his leadership. There are a lot of things that stand out as to why he's been so successful in this league. All of us are just focused on buying in and taking the necessary steps for all of us to grow each and every day. Just super pumped for right now and continuing to move forward with him."Dart was then asked to describe Harbaugh's on-field coaching demeanor."I'm interested to see how it continues to grow the more practices that we have. But right now, he's very observant," said Dart. "He's very observant from every single facet. From the offense to the defense, the special teams. He has his hand in every single one of them, of his expectations. Things that he likes."I just think the really cool thing is he's so open to communication, from the coaching staff to the players. I think that's just been really cool to have that openness, no ego. Ultimately, he just wants to, obviously, win. He's got a chip on his shoulder. I'm interested to see how his demeanor continues to grow as we go forward."Which leads to the question: Does Dart have a chip on his own shoulder this summer?"Absolutely," he said. Why?"Because we didn't have a good year last year. I can't wait for this upcoming year. This whole offseason I've just been waiting to get back with the guys. I really like where we're at. We've got to continue to grow," he said."I saw what it was like last year for a tough season & it was new for my career. I want to make sure that doesn't happen again."Jaxson Dart on his expecations in Year 2 pic.twitter.com/urccAsSeEm Giants Nation Show (@GiantsNationPod) July 29, 2026Dart has been plied with a slew of new offensive weapons this offseason, such as wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr, Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin III, JuJu Smith-Schuster and rookie Malachi Fields.But the biggest adds will come in the addition of free agent tight end Isaiah Likely and the return of star wideout Malik Nabers, whom Dart played in just one game with in 2025. Extra work: Practice ended a bit ago, but Jaxson Dart and Malik Nabers getting in some time having a catch. No routes.

The Los Angeles Rams open the regular season in a unique way, hosting the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. That game takes place on Thursday night in Week 1, kicking things off with a rivalry game across the globe.It's the first-ever regular-season game in Australia for the NFL, so the Rams are entering uncharted territory. And with it comes a difficult travel schedule, navigating 13-plus-hour flights to and from Melbourne. The 49ers plan to get to Australia a week before the game, but it's unlikely the Rams will take a similar approach.Sean McVay said on Wednesday that the team has finalized its travel plan but the Rams coach isn't revealing any details publicly."I have, but I'm going to keep that internally," McVay said. "Sorry to disappoint you, but what do you think we're going to do? It'll be a similar approach (to past international games) and really the goal for us is to try to keep guys in as close to a rhythm and routine as possible. This is new to us even, going this far. I trust our group and most importantly, what's going to be best for our players. We always try to take that into consideration."When it comes to road games and international contests, the Rams typically try to spend as little time as possible away from home. For road games, they usually depart the night before. When they played in London last year, they didn't arrive until Saturday morning.Expect the Rams to spend minimal time in Australia before the game and depart as soon as possible afterwards.This article originally appeared on Rams Wire: Sean McVay not revealing Rams' travel plans for Australia game
