Texas man suing Tennessee Titans cornerback L'Jarius Sneed over December shooting
While most of the NFL universe is caught up in draft talk or the second wave of free agency, sometimes a non-football-related news story causes a stir. That was the case Friday afternoon when an Associated Press report centered on Tennessee Titans cornerback L'Jarius Sneed hit social media.
The report states Sneed is being sued by a Texas man for upwards of $1 million after a shooting at a car dealership in December while he was on injured reserve. Christian Nshimiyimana claims that on December 6, he was sitting inside a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon at One Legacy Motors in Carrollton, Texas. While the drive-by shooting did not injure anyone, he identified a Lamborghini Urus as the vehicle involved.
The Associated Press obtained the police report filed on the incident, but most of it has been redacted, and no real details have been released.
In a statement released by Nshimiyimana via his attorney Levi McCathern, Sneed and his accomplice were arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon by the Carrollton Police Department, but have not gone to trial. McCathern, in that statement, also claimed that Sneed and a woman had threatened Nshimiyimana in an attempt to intimidate him and keep this out of the courts.
The Titans are aware of the situation and released a statement saying they are 'aware of the matter and have been in contact with NFL Security per league protocol.' Neither Sneed nor his representatives have commented on the accusations.
Sneed is coming off a disappointing 2024 campaign, playing in only five games after becoming one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL last March. The Titans lack depth in the secondary, and this situation may prompt them to use a premium draft pick to help solidify the unit.

Former Washington minority owner, FedEx founder, dies at 80
Frederick Wallace Smith, founder of FedEx, passed away this weekend at 80 years old. Smith is a former minority owner of the Washington Commanders, then the Redskins, from 2003 until 2021, when he and two other minority partners sold their combined 40% back to then-majority owner Daniel Snyder. Smith is best known for founding Federal Express in 1971 using his $4 million inheritance. He remained with FedEx as CEO until 2022 and remained an executive chairman after stepping down. Smith unsuccessfully tried to land an NFL expansion team in Memphis, Tenn., during the early 1990s. However, the NFL awarded the league's newest franchises to Charlotte, N.C. (Carolina Panthers) and Jacksonville, Fla. (Jaguars). Before he purchased a minority stake in the then-Redskins, Smith signed a 27-year deal with the team to rename it FedEx Field. The stadium, now known as Northwest Stadium, had operated as Jack Kent Cooke Stadium from its 1997 opening until 1999, when it became FedEx Field. FedEx exercised its option to end the agreement two years early in 2024 when Josh Harris bought the team from Snyder. Smith's split from Washington was nasty. He, Dwight Schar, and Robert Rothman hired a firm to explore selling their 40% stake in the team. This came at the same time as Snyder was facing public pressure again to change the team's name. During this period, FedEx released a statement informing the team it wanted the name changed. Snyder finally relented to the public pressure, and in the summer of 2020, the Redskins became the Washington Football Team. Later in 2020, Smith, Schar and Rothman sued Snyder in federal court, accusing Snyder of interfering with investors willing to pay around $900 million for their shares. The Commanders released the following statement on Smith's passing: Smith's son, Arthur, is the current offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers and a former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.

Steelers updated 2026 Super Bowl odds
Parity in the NFL isn't what it used to be. There are some very distinct tiers of teams in the league, and if you aren't in that top tier, it's tough sledding to even make a splash in the playoffs. This is the position the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in heading into the 2025 season. Getting into the playoffs is never out of the realm of possibility for the Steelers but it's been a long time since anyone looked at this team as a Super Bowl contender. The Steelers big move of this offseason has been the addition of quarterback Aaro Rodgers. We can debate as to whether or not Rodgers is an upgrade over Russell Wilson but there's no doubt Rodgers is an upgrade over Mason Rudolph. Now that Rodgers and the Packers have signed, let's take a look at the Steelers' Super Bowl odds from around the internet.

Kyle Hamilton: Jaire Alexander is a "great addition" to Ravens' secondary
Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton is thrilled that Baltimore signed cornerback Jaire Alexander last week. "Great addition," Hamilton said, via "He's been one of the best in this league since he got in it. To have anybody like that, no matter what position, especially as a DB, it's super valuable." Advertisement Alexander arrives in Baltimore after seven years in Green Bay, where he was the Packers' first-round pick in 2018. The Ravens will play with a very talented secondary featuring five first-round picks on the field at the same time this season: Alexander and Ravens 2024 first-round pick Nate Wiggins at cornerback, 2021 first-round pick Hamilton at strong safety, 2025 first-round pick Malaki Starks at free safety and 2017 first-round pick Marlon Humphrey at cornerback. With that kind of talent, the Ravens have invested as heavily in their secondary as any team in the league, and they expect the results to speak for themselves.
