    Mitchell Trubisky: We’re just searching offensively

    Getty Images The Bears had quarterback Mitchell Trubisky back in the lineup on Sunday, but his return from a left shoulder injury didn’t result in an offensive spark against the Saints. New Orleans won 36-25 and that’s a bit deceiving as the Bears had just 10 points and 120 offensive yards...

    Two first-round picks and a fourth-round pick are an offer that’s hard to refuse

    Getty Images It’s easy to say that a player won’t be traded. It’s much harder to say “no” to a major trade offer. The Jaguars repeatedly said they won’t trade cornerback Jalen Ramsey, and they tried continuously to unruffle his feathers when it was clear that he wanted to be traded. The...
