NFL
Baker Mayfield’s rocky run with the Cleveland Browns has officially ended. The Browns have traded the divisive quarterback, and former No. 1 overall draft pick to the Carolina Panthers for a future draft pick. Mayfield lost his starting job to the Browns’ pursuit of Deshaun Watson and is going to Carolina for a conditional draft pick in 2024 or 2025.
The NFL partnered with the International Federation of American Football to bring flag football to The World Games. The next goal is the 2028 Olympics.
