The Ty Chandler era has ended for the Minnesota Vikings, as the speedy tailback has opted to join the New Orleans Saints during the second wave of free agency. The longtime RB3-RB4 will embark on his career’s second chapter with Kellen Moore’s team.
Minnesota’s 2022 draft class just lost another name.
Chandler stood off the page for a couple of games in Minnesota during the 2023 campaign, but otherwise failed to make a serious thumbprint on the franchise.

Saints Sign Chandler
It’s almost a done deal for Chandler’s next move. NBC Sports‘ Myles Simmons wrote Tuesday, “The Saints are adding a running back. According to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football, the team has signed Ty Chandler.”
“Chandler, 27, just completed his rookie contract with the Vikings. A fifth-round pick in the 2022 draft, Chandler missed most of the 2025 season due to a knee injury. He appeared in just three games, taking 17 carries for 4 yards and catching three passes for 11 yards.”

So far in free agency, the Vikings have also lost Jalen Nailor (WR, Raiders), Ben Sims (TE, Dolphins), and Ryan Wright (P, Saints) to new destinations.
The Updated NO Running Back Group
The Saints made a significant free-agent splash week when they signed Travis Etienne from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, Etienne will take over bellcow RB1 duties in New Orleans.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Have a look at this ginormous list of running backs on the Saints’ roster:

Travis Etienne
Alvin Kamara
Kendre Miller
Devin Neal
Audric Estimé
Ty Chandler
Evan Hull
Many expect Kamara to leave sometime this offseason or in the summer. Either way, Chandler will battle at training camp and in the preseason for a September roster spot. He may not make the cut.
SI.com‘sPatrick McAvoy mentioned Kamara’s future after the Chandler signing: “Let’s get out in front of this, Chandler is not a better player than Kamara. Arguably, the signing has more of an impact for New Orleans’ depth than the top of the room.”
“But with Kamara only under contract for one more season and his future already up in the air, you have to at least think about him. This arguably isn’t a sign that New Orleans is about to move on. But what if Kamara is going to hang up his cleats? Again, this is speculation based on the noise out there. At least worth watching.”
Chandler’s Career to Date
Minnesota scooped Chandler from Round 5 of the 2022 NFL Draft, a North Carolina product who was a 24-year-old rookie. He wound up playing 40 games in Minnesota, starting 4, and tallying 710 rushing yards on 181 attempts for a mediocre 3.9 yards per carry. He also caught 3 passes for 11 yards and banked 3 total touchdowns.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell auditioned Chandler for the RB1 job late in the 2023 season when Alexander Mattison got hurt, and Chandler popped off in a game at the Cincinnati Bengals. He produced 132 rushing yards that day on 23 attempts. For a single day, he looked like a prospective RB1 for the future.
But that was about it.
Chandler didn’t do much thereafter, and in fact, whenever he approached an RB2 job in Minnesota, the Vikings seemed to find a way to acquire Cam Akers.
The 27-year-old is most known for his 4.38 speed, though Vikings fans never really saw that in a breakaway setting. Chandler has also missed 41% of all career games due to injury.
The Death of the Vikings’ 2022 Draft Class Is Official

The Vikings drafted these 10 men in April 2022:
Lewis Cine (S)
Andrew Booth (CB)
Ed Ingram (OG)
Brian Asamoah (LB)
Akayleb Evans (CB)
Esezi Otomewo (DT)
Ty Chandler (RB)
Jalen Nailor (WR)
Vederian Lowe (OT)
Nick Muse (TE)
For the first time in four years, none are employed by the Vikings, marking the official end of Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s first draft class, a man who was fired about six weeks ago for poor draft performance.
Nailor signed a fat contract in Las Vegas last week, making Chandler the last man standing. Now, that is no more.

In addition to Nailor, Ingram, Evans, Otomewo, and Lowe signed second contracts this week. Adofo-Mensah’s draft class was undoubtedly awful for the Vikings, but it didn’t totally flame out of the NFL.
Without Chandler on the depth chart as an RB3 or RB4, the Vikings are tentatively expected to draft a rookie halfback and have already met with men like Emmett Johnson from Nebraska and Demond Claiborne of Wake Forest.

The Minnesota Vikings spent a 3rd-Round pick on a wide receiver last year, and they might be on their way to doing it again if the draft rumor mill is on point. Minnesota met with Georgia State pass-catcher Ted Hurst a couple of weeks ago, and according to SI.com, he’s the main developmental prospect for the Vikings to target in 2.5 weeks.
Minnesota may still need another receiver, and Hurst checks the box as a late-round project with size.
Hurst currently ranks 76th on the Consensus Big Board, making him absolutely gettable for the purple team.

Hurst Fits the Vikings’ Search for More WR Depth
From somewhere, the Vikings may need one more WR for the regular season.

Hurst Picked as Vikings’ Top Development Fit
SI.com‘s Justin Melo sized up one development rookie for each NFL team on Monday, with Hurst getting the shoutout for Minnesota. Melo explained, “The Minnesota Vikings lost their No. 3 wide receiver Jalen Nailor to free agency. It won’t be a high priority, given Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison form one of the better duos in the NFL.”
“Third-round sophomore Tai Felton only had three receptions last year. Enter Ted Hurst, a small-school threat from Georgia State with a dynamic vertical skill set. Hurst was incredible at the NFL Combine, running a 4.42 and leaping an 11-foot-3 broad jump at 6-foot-3. He’s a downfield winner.”

Hurst has also been frequently connected to the Miami Dolphins in the mock-draft cycle, with The Draft Network‘s Jaime Eisner picking him in Round 3 last week: “Getting a live look at Ted Hurst at the Panini Senior Bowl cemented his status as a day-two prospect. At nearly 6-foot-4 and 206 pounds, he pairs prototype size with unexpected short-area agility.”
“He operates as a refined route-runner, boasting the massive catch radius and contested-catch reliability you covet in a bigger target. He’s not a burner and needs to work on playing to his size with the ball in his hands, but he can develop into a long-term WR2-caliber player for the Dolphins.”
The Vikings’ Current WR Group
If Minnesota turns the Hurst visit into a draft pick and doesn’t add another free agent, the wide receiver room this summer would shape up like this:
Advertisement
Justin Jefferson
Jordan Addison
Tai Felton
Ted Hurst
Myles Price
Jeshaun Jones
Dontae Fleming
Joaquin Davis
With this group, the Vikings would merely have to hope that Felton or Hurst would be game-ready by Week 1. Otherwise, a free-agent signing would be necessary.
The Skinny on Hurst
Hurst, at 6’3″ and 195 pounds, uses his size to his advantage, especially when making contested catches. His game is built on strength and body control. However, his route running could be improved; he doesn’t consistently separate from defensive backs, which will likely impact his future role.
He banked 127 catches for 1,965 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns in 24 games. Not bad.
NFL Draft Buzz on Hurst: “Hurst fits best as a ‘Z’ receiver in an offense that uses motion and formation variety to manufacture free releases. That matters early in his career because press coverage remains a real problem, and NFL corners will be stronger and more disciplined than anything he saw in the Sun Belt.”

“His speed is good enough to threaten vertically, but he separates with acceleration and timing rather than blowing past coverage. That style translates if the body catches up. Expect him to push for the number three receiver role as a rookie in the right system, with third-down and red zone reps from Week 1 given his ball tracking, catch radius, and understanding of leverage.”
Ted Hurst lines up during practice reps, preparing for the next snap while working with the American Team at a key pre-draft showcase. The moment came on Jan 28, 2026; Mobile, Alabama, USA; during Senior Bowl activities at Hancock Whitney Stadium, offering evaluators a closer look at his route work and positioning.

Hurst would instantly become the Vikings’ tallest receiver of those expected to make the September roster.
TBD added, “The drop issues need monitoring. His hands graded average across both Georgia State seasons, and that cannot persist against tighter coverage windows. But the combination of size, route feel, and athletic testing puts a real ceiling on this player.”
“With physical development and an expanded release package, he can grow into a starting outside receiver by year two. The tape backs that up more than the stat sheet does.”

Preview – Starting Pitchers and Lineups
Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher
Gavin Williams will take the mound for the Cleveland Guardians. The righty pitcher has looked sharp in the early stages of the 2026 season. He carries a 2.25 ERA after two starts.
Williams relies on a high-velocity four-seam fastball that generated a significant whiff rate in his previous outing.
Kansas City Royals starting pitcher
Noah Cameron will start on the mound for the Kansas City Royals. The lefty pitcher is looking to build on a stellar season debut against the Minnesota Twins. He earned a win and maintained a 1.80 ERA.
Cameron’s ability to command his secondary pitches will be crucial against the Giardians’ lineup that excels in contact hitting.
Prediction: Cleveland Guardians 4, Kansas City Royals 2
Gavin Williams has shown elite stuff early this season. His ability to overpower hitters should give him the advantage at home.

Noah Cameron has also been impressive. However, the Guardians lineup features several dangerous switch-hitters like Jose Ramirez, who can neutralize the lefty-on-lefty advantage.
With the Guardians playing at Progressive Field, they are the favorite to take Game 2 (Money Line: Cleveland Guardians (-115))
The Guardians pitching staff has been one of the most consistent in the league through the first two weeks. Both starters have ERAs under 2.30. Therefore, the likelihood of a low-scoring defensive battle is high (Total Runs: Under 7 (-120))
Expect the Guardians to lean on their bullpen to secure a narrow victory and cover the spread on the conservative side (Run Line: Guardians +1.5 (-201)
Manny Pacquiao has spoken out over the issues surrounding his planned rematch against Floyd Mayweather.
It was announced in February that long-term rivals Pacquiao and Mayweather were set for a second meeting, scheduled to take place at The Sphere in Las Vegas on September 19.
While Pacquiao continued to compete professionally and has done as recently as last July, Mayweather retired in 2017. He has had a number of exhibitions since then, but the rematch against ‘PacMan’ would have served as his first official bout in nearly a decade.
Problems have begun to arose though, after Mayweather recently claimed the upcoming rematch would be an exhibition rather than a professional fight, and Pacquiao has now responded with his own take on the matter.
Speaking about the situation, Pacquiao told his rival to stop making excuses, and that he already turned down an opportunity for a rematch as an exhibition and wants a ‘real’ fight.
“He proposed an exhibition a long time ago, a year after our first fight. I didn’t agree to it.
I want a real fight. He signed a real fight, I signed a real fight, he’s got his advance, so there’s no reason to make excuses.”
AUGUSTA, Ga. — It is the first and most essential fact of golf’s first major: Nothing ever changes at the Masters.
Unless, of course, you’ve been lucky enough to step foot on the ground at Augusta National more than once. It’s around this time you realize that everything changes at the Masters, all the time, from the enormous, white-shuttered structures that rise and fall without a whisper, to the shapes and pigments and angles and contours of the golf course that has hosted the tournament annually for nine decades.
Yes, change is the way of the world — and especially so at Augusta National on Masters Monday, the same day the golf world arrives for the first time after 360 some-odd lonely days without it. And after a 4 a.m. wakeup, 6 a.m. flight, 2.5-hour drive and brief changing session in the parking lot, change is what I found on this Masters Monday, a surprisingly mild one from Augusta National.
1. A new sign
The signs are an impressively significant part of the Masters tradition — written in careful Masters typeface and carrying a highly specific tone. But on a stroll throughout the golf course on Monday afternoon, I spotted one I had not seen in my previous five journeys to Augusta, a sign that came with ample foreboding.

Alcohol Sales Will End At 5 P.M.
A Masters volunteer carried the sign on a placard near the first tee box, and I later found the message had made its way throughout the grounds on tournament Monday, when one group of men made a beeline for the concession stand in Amen Corner.
“I hope it’s not 5!!”
2. Construction craziness
It is not hard to earn an appreciation for the new Player Services Building — a new, multi-million dollar player performance center that sprouted from thin air sometime between last April and Monday morning. To the trained eye, the new building sticks out on the horizon like a sore thumb, looming over the far end of the practice range as an omnipresent reminder that Augusta National can — and very often does — summon gleaming new buildings from the earth with impressive nonchalance.
Advertisement
Of course, to the normal eye, the building is not a sore thumb — far from it. It fits into the Masters’ white-shutter-and-black-shingle aesthetic like a glove, and provides no shortage of pampering for golfers in the sport’s first major. In other words, it’s a worthy addition to a growing city of identical white buildings used to house the biggest week in golf. And hey, maybe the members can get a nice gym out of it during the offseason.
3. Candy Crush
The biggest addition to the Masters this year is not a player or a pin location — it’s a piece of candy. Masters-themed candy. And today I did the honors of trying the new Masters “Candy Bar” — a dark chocolate, caramel, rice crisp and hazelnut crunch offering from Atlanta-based Bitzel’s Chocolate.
Long story short, it’s delicious. I will likely eat at least five of them before the week is out. Though I do wish it was sea salt on top of the candy bar instead of hazelnut, both for our tree allergy kings and queens and for adding a little savory tang to balance out the candy bar’s sweetness.
4. A caddie cabaret
Late on Monday afternoon in Amen Corner, the glorious green of the 11-13th holes was replaced by a troupe in white robes — attire belonging to a half-dozen of Augusta National’s caddies. The group was led by Scottie Scheffler supercaddie Ted Scott, who spent a long while on each green recording the undulations in the green. (This, I suppose, is the sort of unheralded work that brings your partner four green jackets.)
Advertisement
It was funny to see the rest of the caddies (including loopers for Jason Day and Min Woo Lee) following Scott’s lead on the 12th green. Together, they walked in a carefully calculated tango around the putting surface as they each gathered intel for the week, scribbling distances and other obscure bits of information into their yardage books. Maybe this moment will mean nothing come Sunday afternoon, but nobody knows that on Monday afternoon — and they’d certainly not prefer to spend Sunday evening wishing they’d been here for a few minutes longer.
WINNIPEG — Kyle Connor scored twice while Jonathan Toews and Gabriel Vilardi had a goal and an assist each to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a 6-2 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Monday night.
Brad Lambert and Vladislav Namestnikov, into an empty net, also scored for the Jets (34-31-12), who have collected points in seven of their last nine games (6-2-1).
Mark Scheifele registered three assists, while Josh Morrissey provided a pair.
Connor Hellebuyck made 22 saves for the win at Canada Life Centre.

Jordan Eberle and Jared McCann replied for the Kraken (32-33-11), who extended their losing streak to five games and have lost nine of their last 10 (1-7-2).
Seattle starting goaltender Philipp Grubauer left the game with an undisclosed injury in the second period after allowing three goals on 15 shots. Joey Daccord entered in relief and made 10 saves.
The Kraken opened the scoring at 9:17 of the first period when Eberle netted his team-leading 25th of the season, marking the fourth consecutive game Winnipeg has surrendered the opening goal.
The Jets responded on the man advantage at 12:39 when Toews, who was moved back to the top power-play unit in Sunday’s practice, put in his 10th of the campaign to tie the game.

Winnipeg took control in the second period with a pair of power-play markers. Vilardi gave the Jets their first lead at 9:55, followed by Connor’s team-leading 37th goal of the season at 12:09.
Seattle cut the deficit to 3-2 at 2:28 of the third period on a goal by McCann. The assist went to Kaapo Kakko, extending his point streak to three games.
Lambert restored the two-goal cushion at 5:59 of the final frame to seal the win, with Connor and Namestikov adding insurance markers.
Jets: Winnipeg’s special teams dominated the matchup, as the club scored three times on the power play for the first time all season.

Kraken: The loss dealt a devastating blow to Seattle’s bid for a playoff spot, costing the club an opportunity to close the gap in the highly competitive Western Conference wild-card race.
With Seattle seizing momentum after cutting the lead to one early in the third period, Lambert fired home his third goal of the season to make it 4-2. Lambert celebrated the insurance marker right in front of the Kraken bench and his uncle, Seattle head coach Lane Lambert.
Scheifele registered his 900th career NHL point with his secondary assist on Connor’s second-period goal.
Although delighted to be part of the field, McKibbin is eager to make his mark and acknowledges the famous course is challenging.
Long fairways and “pristine” greens are what he will encounter but he wants to leave on Sunday happy with his week’s work.
Whether that means playing through the weekend or making a charge at the leaderboard remains to be seen, but making the most of this opportunity is his primary motivation.
“Some of the holes are very long, especially around 10 and 11, you’re hitting a lot of long irons into the greens which look pretty small from there, but the golf course is just incredible,” he noted.
Advertisement
“I’ve played it a few times now and it’s everything you could imagine, so to play more over the week is pretty cool.
“The greens are absolutely perfect, so pristine, quick and once you get out onto the course, there are some pretty crazy slopes on them you can really play around with.
“The golf course changes so much over the week, I don’t know what to expect, but I would just like to have a nice week, play well and see where that is. Your first one there aren’t a lot of expectations, but I want to have a good week.”
WBC welterweight world champion Ryan Garcia has named the man whom he believes to be the most overrated fighter in the sport, saying that the hype is ‘premature’.
That long-awaited victory came in February, as ‘King Ry’ dominated proceedings against Mario Barrios to properly announce his return to the big time and receive the plaudits that his skills merit.

Now, Garcia sits as one of the biggest names in the sport and the Californian is being linked to a mammoth rematch with rival and reigning WBO welterweight champion, Devin Haney.
Despite criticising Haney in the past, on the Creators Think Podcast when quizzed to name the most ‘horribly overrated’ active boxer, Garcia opted not to select his fierce foe. Instead, he looked upwards toward the super-welterweight division, playing down the abilities of Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis.
“Horribly overrated? Today, I would say ‘Boots’ Ennis. I know that I have said that before on a stream and got some hate but, at this point where they are hyping up like he is the next everything, I think it’s a little premature and [that he is] overrated.”
Ennis held the unified IBF and WBA welterweight world titles but moved up to 154lbs late last year, knocking out Uisma Lima upon his debut in the division.
There is a possibility that Garcia, still just 27, will move up to 154lbs in the future. If he does so, Ennis may want to answer the above comments inside the ropes.
Maduka Okoye delivered an outstanding performance, but Cesc Fabregas admitted he was not fully satisfied with his team after Como’s goalless draw with Udinese on Monday night.
Fabregas said the game was tight and very tactical, with both sides struggling to find space and control the tempo.
“Both teams had difficulties finding spaces, it was a very tactical game and nobody really took the initiative,” he said.

Despite his side creating two good chances, Fabregas was not impressed with how Como handled the ball, noting that several players did not perform at their best.
“In general, I didn’t like the way the team played in possession, there were many players who were below par today,” he added.
The Como boss also pointed out that Udinese offered little attacking threat, but stressed the importance of staying solid at the back.
Advertisement
“At the same time, Udinese created very little danger and we kept our 15th clean sheet.”
Fabregas admitted he expected more from his team but accepted the result, especially given recent challenges.
“When you are in these situations, it is important not to lose and not to concede, even if I am the first to admit that I expected more.”
Okoye was the key figure in the match, making several important saves to deny Como and secure a clean sheet for Udinese.
Over 12 months on from that bout, he was set to make his long-awaited return against Morrell in his hometown of Liverpool on April 18, but with less than two weeks to go until the showdown, disaster has unfortunately struck.
“Callum Smith suffered an injury in training camp and is withdrawing from his light heavyweight fight vs. David Morrell on April 18 in Liverpool, sources tell Ring Magazine.”
Smith was hoping to move one step closer to becoming a two-weight world champion, having previously reigned as WBC super-middleweight champion thanks to a win over George Groves in 2018 before he lost that belt to Canelo Alvarez in 2020.
That prompted the move to 175lbs, and despite a defeat to Artur Beterbiev in January 2024, Smith remained one of the key fighters in the light heavyweight division.
Coco Gauff recently penned an emotional message after facing brutal social media abuse over her new photoshoot. The American stated that the constant criticism reminded her why she shouldn’t be active on certain platforms.
Gauff is one of the WTA’s biggest women’s singles stars and the 22-year- old draws an immense amount of attention for her actions on and off the tennis court. Earlier this month, the two-time Grand Slam champion posed for fashion brand Miu Miu, but her look for the photoshoot gained immense scrutiny, with many expressing their disappointment about her natural hair.
“Deleted twitter for a month, came back today, and got instantly reminded why I should not be on here lol :/.”
At the Miami Open earlier this year, Gauff had admitted that she was taking a break from X to avoid the online toxicity.

At the 2025 German Open, Coco Gauff discussed at length the negativity on social media surrounding players. In a conversation with the media, she shared that tennis stars often receive death threats and that online users frequently message family members as well, saying,
“It’s the worst you can get. Death threats, to your family, to yourself. I’ve had people DM [direct message] my boyfriend and friends about it. Racist comments, like all you can imagine. Nudity, things like that. It’s a gross kind of thing that we have going on in tennis.”
She went on to demand accountability from platforms, asking them to ‘step in’ in order to foster a more healthy environment for everyone,
“It’s something that we have to keep bringing awareness to. I would love for some of the social media platforms to get involved, not only when it comes to tennis players. Influencers, other athletes, they all get these comments, so it’s something that can be addressed. I know the WTA is doing what they can to make us feel protected, but I definitely think that a lot of these platforms can step in as well.”
On the tennis end of things, Coco Gauff was last seen in action at the Miami Open. The Florida-native reached the finals on home ground, before going down against World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka.
