PHILADELPHIA - Chants of "PUR-DY! PUR-DY!" rained down from jubilant 49ers fans in the stands as Brock Purdy triumphantly ran off Lincoln Financial Field in December 2023. Only 10 months earlier, Purdy felt "shocks" of pain in his right elbow, unable to throw because of a shredded ligament in an NFC Championship Game loss that ended the 49ers' Super Bowl bid and cast his career in peril.

Bayern Munich have signaled that they have every intention of offering Konrad Laimer a contract extension at some point before his current contract expires in June of 2027. The Austrian international has been a valuable asset for Vincent Kompany and Bayern with his ability to play a handful of different positions in defense and midfield, especially when there have been injuries elsewhere in the squad to key players.

There will be many changes to the Washington Commanders before the 2026 campaign begins. They're already underway, with David Blough replacing Kliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. also being shown the door. Expect these alterations to continue on the playing personnel side. General manager Adam Peters has a significant amount of hard work ahead, and another roster overhaul seems extremely likely.

From day one, life at Bayern Munich has not been easy for Javier Fernández. Though Bayern tried to sign the Spanish youngster from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2022, due to some EU regulations, Bayern were only able to register him in January of 2023, with Fernández limited to training in Munich rather than getting game time in the months prior.

I'm delighted to have signed a new contract here, as I believe we have so much to achieve together - this season and in the years to come, Slegers told club media. I'd like to show my gratitude to our supporters for the incredible backing you give us, whether it's at Emirates Stadium, Meadow Park or on the road. We hear it, we see it and we feel it every day.

On Sunday, it was announced that the San Jose Sharks and veteran Alexander Wennberg had agreed on a three-year extension that will keep the Swedish center in the Bay Area for the next few seasons. The contract will run until the end of the 2028-29 regular season and will carry an annual cap hit of $6 million. Throughout his career, Wennberg has been seen as a key depth piece for playoff rosters.

That's exactly the mindset the Heat's front office needs to have. Even though it may seem to be the right decision to lock up Powell now, whose extension window is now open, it may not be that simple. The Heat can't be in a rush to keep the status quo Sure, it would be ideal if they could lock up Powell and perhaps other players on their roster, but why would they be in such a hurry to lock themselves into future mediocrity?

However, it now seems that those clubs will miss out on the talented young Turkey international as he's expected to finalise a new contract with Juventus soon. That's because it seems Juve are set to agree to a big pay rise for Yildiz, bumping up his salary from 1.5m to 6m a year, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. They report of a breakthrough in contract talks, as well as mentioning the interest Yildiz has had from Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich.

The Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday reached agreement with offensive lineman Cole Van Lanen on a three-year, $51 million contract extension, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The new deal includes $32.5 million guaranteed and could be worth up to $55.5 million with incentives.

Hinata Miyazawa has signed a new long-term deal with Manchester United until 2029. The Japan international has become a key player under manager Marc Skinner since joining in 2023. Miyazawa originally signed a three-year deal with the club, which would have seen her contract expire in June 2026.

"I am very happy and proud to have been part of this team for so long. The cohesion and the special atmosphere at Bayern are unique - that's exactly what makes this club so special for me. The responsibility as captain has allowed me to grow both personally and athletically over the past few years," she said. "As a team, we are very ambitious and want to remain at the top in Germany. In the Champions League, we want to take the next step and realize our full potential together."

a voice that was neither loud nor dramatic, but warm, confident, almost homely. You could hear in it the maturity of a journey that had taken her from Iceland to Sweden and then on to Munich. To the place where she found more than just a job. "I've been happy and proud to be part of this team for a long time," she says with conviction.

Acquired in an out-of-nowhere deal ahead of the 2023 season when the Braves were seemingly set at catcher, Murphy's signature style of swing-out-of-his-shoes slugging and stellar saves defensively made for an awesome debut season in Atlanta, but also led to some sour grapes-esque feelings given that William Contreras had a defensive turnaround-and-breakout in Milwaukee in 2023, hit a new gear offensively in 2024, and has been hyper-productive since the trade overall.

He was a rotation player each of the past two seasons and a starter for stretches in both of them. Coming into this campaign, you could've argued ( as my favorite sports scribe once did) that he meant as much to Miami's roster as anyone. That's part of what ups the frustration factor here. The Heat really needed him to come through, and that would've been true even if they hadn't given him that early extension.

Tight end Jeremy Ruckert agreed to a two-year, $10 million contract extension on Wednesday, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The deal can be worth a maximum of $5.5 million per year, the source said. Editor's Picks Ruckert, a 2022 third-round pick, has produced at a modest level -- only 55 receptions and one touchdown for his career -- but he's a reliable blocker and a contributor on special teams. Coach Aaron Glenn sees Ruckert as an ideal fit in the culture he's trying to build.
