Several teams have spoken to the Dallas Cowboys about a potential Micah Parsons' trade and for the first time the Cowboys appear willing to at least listen, according to multiple sources.

The Miami Heat could surprisingly offer an unexpected lifeline to the Cleveland Cavaliers after it was reported that their noted sharp-shooting wing Max Strus is expected to miss 3-4 months with an injury. If the Cavs wanted a cheap replacement, they should look no further than Simone Fontecchio as a potential trade target. And the Heat should be willing to oblige.

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Commanders are trading running back Brian Robinson to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2026 sixth-round pick, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Robinson did not play in Washington's preseason game Monday vs. Cincinnati, signaling the end of his relationship with the franchise. The Commanders had planned to release him if they could not find a trade partner. Washington had been shopping Robinson since earlier this month, in part because of the depth coaches say the team has at running back.

The prospect of Connor McDavid joining Auston Matthews on the Toronto Maple Leafs is enticing, yet the financial implications are daunting with both players commanding top salaries.

Luka Dončić signed a three-year maximum contract extension with the Lakers, which includes a third-year player option. The initial starting salary will depend on the 2026-27 salary cap.

Nick Robertson has settled with the Toronto Maple Leafs on a one-year, $1.825 million contract, avoiding arbitration and securing essential team business ahead of the season.

Bill Guerin's management of the Minnesota Wild is hindered by a long-standing salary cap weight of over $10 million due to the buyouts of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, making roster improvements difficult.

Devin Booker has made NBA history with a two-year, $145 million maximum contract extension, locking him in through the 2029-30 season, equating to $72.5 million per year, the highest average annual salary in NBA history.

McLaurin is the primary receiving threat on the Commanders, leading with 117 targets in 2024, indicating his importance to the team's offensive strategy.

Keeping the core of the Celtics' roster intact might have exceeded a combined payroll and luxury tax bill of more than $500 million, considering Tatum's injury.

Cam York has signed a five-year contract with the Philadelphia Flyers worth $25.75 million, a deal that will count $5.15 million against the salary cap until 2029-30.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill will cost the team $51.8 million on the salary cap in 2026, making his future uncertain. The Dolphins may release or amend his contract or trade him before the November deadline, focusing on youth and fiscal responsibility.

Jaxson Hayes signed a contract with the Lakers for 120% of the six-year minimum using non-bird rights, resulting in a total salary of $3.45 million.

By waiving-and-stretching Rozier, his $26.6 million salary next season would be spread over several years. Miami instead will either trade Rozier or keep him next season.

The San Jose Sharks signed forward William Eklund to a three-year contract extension worth $5.6 million AAV, securing his presence through the 2028-29 season.

As you look at the rest of the team and what we're trying to do, there is no question our priorities would be to bring Al and Luke back. Those guys are huge parts of this organization. They're going to have, I'm sure, plenty of options all over the place, and that's well-deserved, but I think that would be a priority. At the same time, I don't want to put pressure on them.
