OAKLAND, Calif. (KRON) -- If Oakland native and Athletics Hall of Famer Dave Stewart had it his way, the A's plans to relocate to Las Vegas will fall through and his hometown team will stay in town.But Stewart admits that seems unlikely at this point, now that the team has signed a binding agreement to buy land in Las Vegas for a future ballpark.

Packers take pass-rusher Van Ness at No. 13 in NFL draft

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:25:08 GMT

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers’ lack of pass-rushing depth was apparent when they struggled to get to opposing quarterbacks after Rashan Gary tore his anterior cruciate ligament last November.They are confident Lukas Van Ness can help change that.Rather than getting a pass catcher for new starting quarterback Jordan Love in the opening round, the Packers selected Van Ness with the 13th overall pick in the NFL draft Thursday night. Van Ness was in Wisconsin when he got the news while watching the draft from Fontana, where his parents have a home.“I couldn’t ask for a better result,” said Van Ness, who prepared for the draft by working out in California with a group that included Packers defensive tackle Kenny Clark. “I’m so happy to be Packer. I can’t wait to get out there and wear that green.”Green Bay began the week with the No. 15 overall pick in the draft, but they moved up two spots as part of the blockbuster trade that sent four-time MVP quarterb...

Titans take Northwestern O-lineman Skoronski at No. 11

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:25:08 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Only four NFL teams allowed more sacks last season than the Tennessee Titans. That made protecting the quarterback better a top priority with Northwestern offensive tackle Peter Skoronski the easy choice Thursday night for the Titans at No. 11 overall in the NFL draft.It’s not the quarterback or trade that many expected from new general manager Ran Carthon in his first draft. Ryan Tannehill turns 35 in July and has one year left on his contract with a salary cap hit of $36.6 million. Carthon made clear he expects his first draft pick to play immediately somewhere as a rookie after the Titans targeted Skoronski from the beginning, not sure if the lineman would be there when they picked. “We had other contingency plans just in case, and we got lucky and he was there,” Carthon said. “And so it made the pick real easy for us to pull off at 11.”The Titans gave up 49 sacks last season behind a patchwork offensive line hit hard by injuries. Only Ch...
