And now, his time with in Miami is ending earlier than expected after being cut, but is expected to draw interest from contenders on the free-agent market. While Judon logged just three starts this year, Falcons' first-round rookies Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. have out-paced his 2024 sack total through just 14 games this season, which has given fans a glimpse of the anchors in the pass-rush…...

Logan Stanley has been hard to miss in Winnipeg this season, for reasons that go beyond his 67" frame. While the Winnipeg Jets were unsuccessful Monday night against the Ottawa Senators, falling in overtime, Stanley once again made his presence felt.
