— Sep 5, 2026
Clemson fans, players and analysts are weighing the end of the Dabo Swinney era, as the program faces a costly buyout and a changing landscape in college football. Swinney’s contract would require Clemson to pay roughly $57 million if fired before 2027, with the figure rising to about $60 million next year before gradually decreasing, and the deal includes an Alabama-specific penalty and no mitigation clause, while potential replacements like Elliott or Lashlee are floated as options.

Luis Robert Jr. on waivers by Mets
Sports
— Aug 29, 2026
The New York Mets placed outfielder Luis Robert Jr. on outright waivers, giving a 48-hour window for another team to claim him and assume about $5 million guaranteed (roughly $3 million in 2026 salary plus a $2 million buyout) with a $20 million club option for 2027; if unclaimed, he remains with the Mets and could be postseason-eligible for a claiming team if done by Sept. 1. The move is framed as a cost-cutting measure by the Mets amid injury history and uneven production, though Robert has shown a burst of strong performance recently and remains an attractive but uncertain asset.

(Correction: ignore) The Lakers and Heat are eyeing ideal fits like Washington or Kuminga as potential paths, with Washington viewed as a straightforward Lakers target if a Kuminga deal stalls and the Heat weighing a Thompson pursuit contingent on a Dallas buyout. Dallas meanwhile fortified its depth by acquiring Zaccharie Risacher in a three-team deal to add wings and improve its backcourt with youth like Marcus Sasser and Sergio De Larrea.
