It hasn't been the start to his NFL career that he wanted, but one former Minnesota Gopher Football star has found a new NFL team for the upcoming season.
In some of the most unsurprising news of the week in the NFL, a few first round standouts from the 2020 NFL Draft had their fifth-year contract options exercised in the past few days.
Things have been up for the Minnesota Golden Gopher Football program since the arrival of coach P.J. Fleck in the 2017 season. Now, the school is rewarding the coach with a long-term contract extension.
Few coaches achieve a turnaround like the Iowa State Cyclones had this past season in their entire career, much less their first year. Former South Dakota State Head Coach and current Cyclone Head Coach T.J. Otzelberger has now been rewarded for that progress with a raise and a contract extension.
The Green Bay Packers and Pro-Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander are finalizing a four-year, $84 million contract extension, Alexander's agent John Thornton of Roc Nation Sports told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
