The Las Vegas Raiders hired John Spytek as the team’s new general manager ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Following a 4-13 season, Spytek and new head coach Pete Carroll have plenty of work to do.

For Spytek, the 2025 NFL Draft may have just gotten a bit tougher to navigate as well.

The Raiders hold the No. 6 pick in the draft, and after acquiring former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith this offseason, it opens the door for multiple different possible outcomes. This includes a not-so-unrealistic world where Boise State star running back Ashton Jeanty is in the mix.

Based on Spytek’s recent comments on SiriusXM NFL Radio, the pressure will be on if Jeanty is still available at No. 6 — specifically from his son. As the general manager explained, his son issued an ultimatum, warning Spytek that he’ll “walk out of the family” if the Raiders don’t take Jeanty.

#Raiders GM John Spytek: “My son has made it no secret that if we don’t pick Ashton Jeanty at No. 6 that he’s walking out of the family and he’s gonna find somebody else. … He basically told Mark Davis if my dad doesn’t take him he’s doing a bad job.” 😂 pic.twitter.com/RMusArRywO

According to Spytek, his son also “basically told Mark Davis if my dad doesn’t take him, he’s doing a bad job.”

Talk about added pressure for the 44-year-old, who’s been with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 2016.

The Raiders make sense as a potential fit for Jeanty, considering their leading rusher last season was Alexander Mattison with 420 yards on 132 attempts (3.2 yards per attempt).

Ever since they started dating publicly in September 2023, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce and billionaire musician Taylor Swift have been inseparable.

Kelce was spotted at a number of Swift’s Eras Tour concerts all over the world in 2023 and 2024 – including shows in London and Singapore. Meanwhile, Swift has been a mainstay at Chiefs home games and the team’s many playoff games over the past two seasons, including two trips to the Super Bowl.

Following the close of the 2024 NFL season and the end of Swift’s Eras Tour the couple escaped the spotlight while vacation in Montana, according to a new report from Us Weekly. The couple has decided to live a more private life after being spotted on almost every date night for the better part of 18 months.

A source told Us Weekly that Swift and Kelce wanted to live a more “normal life” after the “hoopla” of the Eras Tour and the Super Bowl. The outlet cited a second source that said the couple “needed time for themselves,” adding, “Taylor and Travis are doing great, and they’re still very much together and in love. They’re just taking a break from the public eye.”

A third source revealed the future Hall of Fame tight end wanted to take a breather from the public eye following his career-worst yardage total in 2024.

“Travis wants to take [a breather] from the public eye,” said the third source. “He was working too much last year, and he didn’t play as well as he wanted. He wants to have a good season and not have the focus be on his relationship with Taylor.”

Kelce still hosts and produces his podcast New Heights with older brother and former Philadelphia Eagles star offensive lineman Jason Kelce once a week. The brothers announced ESPN host Scott Van Pelt as the guest for this week’s show before he helps cover The Masters next week.

Cory Booker’s highest-profile relationship was with ex-girlfriend Rosario Dawson.

But the U.S. senator from New Jersey, who has never had a wife, and Dawson ended their relationship in February 2022, People reported.

The magazine reported that the couple, who dated for two years, remained friends but had broken up. However, neither of them commented to the magazine. 

Booker keeps his personal life off his Instagram page.

According to Daily Mail, in 2024, Dawson was spotted “enjoying a PDA-filled getaway” with Adama Sanneh. By October 2022, she was dating Nnamdi Okafo after meeting him in a bar, People reported. 

However, People noted that people as prominent as Booker and Dawson “must be able to juggle two busy schedules and frequent time apart.” In 2020, they had moved in together, People noted, but Booker was hitting the campaign trail to run for president.

He told People that the pandemic brought them closer. “We’ve been working on cooking together a lot more,” he said.

In 2019, the pair spoke so lovingly about each other that there was speculation Dawson could someday end up Booker’s wife.

“I am just grateful to be with someone that I respect and love and admire so much,” she told TMZ, which reported that she “didn’t want to say” whether a marriage was forthcoming.

Of moving in together, Dawson told Bustle, “It’s the first time I felt like I had to be responsible about my choice of love, which is a challenging thing to do. If you fall in love, you fall in love. But there’s another aspect I had to consider: what this meant in [putting] a microscope on my family and particularly on my daughter.”

The Washington Post reported in 2019 that the pair met at a political fundraiser and then reconnected.

“I mean, gosh, that night we talked for hours and hours,” Booker told The Post. “I had trouble asking for her phone number … I think I said something really stupid like, ‘Uh, how would I get in touch with you?’ And she mercifully said something like, ‘Oh, you want my phone number?’ And my insides were like, ‘Hell, yeah!’

The Dallas Cowboys are one offseason removed from two strange contract negotiations with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott.

While Jerry Jones and company completed those deals before the season, the longtime owner began contract negotiations earlier with defensive star Micah Parsons. The only problem? The confusion around early talks with Parsons has been even more baffling than anything fans saw involving Lamb or Prescott.

Jones has taken a laid-back approach (at least publicly) to recent high-dollar contract negotiations. However, his optimism around Parsons’ potential deal may come with an asterisk after the longtime owner revealed one key tidbit.

While Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram revealed that Jones said he and Parsons have agreed on multiple parts of a deal, he also explained that the agent of the star pass-rusher, David Mulugheta, hasn’t even been involved.

Cowboys owner and GM Jerry Jones says he has come to an agreement with Micah Parsons on big aspects of his contract extension:

“Term, guarantees, money, all of those things we’ve had a meeting of the minds on.”

Agent David Mulugheta has not yet been involved in the nitty-gritty… pic.twitter.com/srWCHrMAdt

To further complicate matters, Yahoo Sports Senior NFL reporter Jori Epstein revealed shortly after that Parsons asked both Jones and his son, executive vice president Stephen Jones, to call his agent to negotiate.

However, according to Epstein, neither Jerry nor Stephen have contacted Mulugheta thus far.

If that didn’t make the situation quite head-scratching enough, Parsons himself responded to a post by longtime Cowboys reporter Clarence Hill, who called out Jones for the “blatant disrespect” shown to Parsons and Mulugheta. Parsons strongly agreed with the comments while firmly stating negotiations would happen with his agent.

Facts!! David is the best and I will not be doing any deal without @DavidMulugheta involved! Like anyone with good sense I hired experts for a reason. There is no one I trust more when it comes to negotiating contracts than David! There will be no backdoors in this contract… https://t.co/nxKNSIXLvt

WNBA star Angel Reese hasn’t had much luck over the past week.

Late last month she watched as her brother’s Maryland Terrapins fell to the Florida Gators in the men’s NCAA Tournament. Just a few days later, her former team, the LSU Tigers, fell to the UCLA Bruins in the women’s NCAA Tournament, leaving her without a team to root for as both reach the Final Four.

With no team to cheer for, Reese is taking to a different game – well, kind of. On April 1 she attended the McDonald’s All-American Game to cheer on the future of the college basketball elite.

Sitting courtside, the Chicago Sky star turned heads with a fur coat while showing off her new hairdo.

“Angel Reese came FITTED,” the SportsCenter NEXT account said on X – formerly known as Twitter.

The post racked up a number of comments from fans.

“Been a baddie,” one person said.

“You better show out,” offered another.

“Angels face card never declines,” said a third.

Reese didn’t waste much time finding success at the WNBA level after being selected by the Sky in the 2024 WNBA draft. While competing with Caitlin Clark for Rookie of the Year, Reese saw her season derailed by a wrist injury that required surgery.

In a social media post in September, Reese explained that doctors placed a very small screw in her wrist to prevent the bone from cracking completely. “Long term, I literally could have not played anymore because this is a very hard place to heal because the blood flow is little to none,” she said while noting the surgery was successful.
