Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan dismissed the notion that the team is dumping players from the roster after it traded cornerback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/199938" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/199938">Jarvis Brownlee Jr.</a> to the New York Jets on Tuesday."I know the Brownlee trade is on everybody's mind," Callahan said Wednesday, according to <a href="https://www.tennesseetitans.com/news/catch-cally-what-titans-hc-brian-callahan-s-said-about-the-jarvis-brownlee-trade-and-more-on-wednesday">team reporter Jim Wyatt</a>. "Those are conversations that we have, and (Titans general manager) Mike (Borgonzi) and I have all those conversations. We're in lockstep with those decisions that get made. Those are things that are made for the short-term and the long-term interest of the football team, and that's ultimately what it was."Callahan added, "I'm not going to go into too many details about those conversations."<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Brownlee, who started 16 games for the Titans over the last two seasons, was sent to New York along with a 2026 seventh-round pick in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round selection. Tennessee's decision to deal a young and inexpensive defensive back led to speculation about the club potentially shopping multiple players amid an 0-3 start to the season.Callahan described the trade as a "one-off situation" as opposed to the start of a flurry of moves. However, he left the door open for other possible moves down the road."I can't say whether or not there will be something more or nothing more," Callahan said. "It's hard for me to make any predictions about that or any statements about it."The Titans' coach highlighted cornerbacks <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/210150" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/210150">Marcus Harris</a> and <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/174164" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/174164">Jalyn Armour-Davis</a> as players who will get more opportunities following the trade. Callahan also praised the play of <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/174388" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/174388">Darrell Baker</a> to begin the season but wouldn't say who will start alongside <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/105534" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/105534">L'Jarius Sneed</a> at cornerback Sunday against the Houston Texans.Callahan also said that he'd like to see his team come out with a sense of urgency and energy over the course of the week to showcase "how badly (they) want to find a way to win a game."The 41-year-old is in his second season at the helm of the Titans, owning a 3-17 record with the team. First overall pick <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/209905" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/209905">Cam Ward</a> has shown flashes but hasn't led Tennessee to a victory through its first three games.

Their 19-12 loss against Tulsa last weekend only increased speculation about Gundy's job security.Oklahoma State has struggled to put points on the scoreboard and stop opponents to begin the 2025 campaign, averaging 14 points per game while allowing a conference-high 31.7 points.The school would owe Gundy $15 million if it dismisses him prior to the conclusion of the 2025 season. Oklahoma State's coach agreed to a restructured contract earlier this year, which included a $1-million pay cut and a reduced buyout.However, Gundy said he's confident that most of the Cowboys' issues are "fixable" and doesn't believe change is necessary as they prepare for their Big 12 opener against Baylor on Saturday.Gundy has a 170-90 record through 21 seasons with Oklahoma State and a 12-6 mark in bowl games.

Auburn's Bruce Pearl announced he's retiring after 11 seasons on Monday to take an ambassador role within the program's athletics department."I have been at this for almost 50 years, and truthfully, as hard as it is for me to say this, I have come to the realization that it's time for me to step aside. Being the head coach at Auburn has been the privilege of my life," Pearl said in a statement.Assistant coach Steven Pearl, Bruce's son, is reportedly set to sign a multi-year contract to become the Tigers' next head coach, sources told <a href="https://x.com/jeffborzello/status/1970202908819103785">ESPN's Jeff Borzello</a>.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><figure class="article-segment--embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

He'll finish his Auburn tenure with a 246-125 record."Throughout his five decades on the court, Bruce has energized fan bases, won championships, helped student-athletes graduate, worked with young people to achieve their dreams, and impacted countless lives. The marks of a true college basketball Hall of Famer," athletic director John Cohen said.Overall, Pearl guided the Tigers to six NCAA tourney appearances, including both of the program's Final Four runs. Auburn also captured at least a share of three SEC regular-season titles and won two SEC tournament championships under the 65-year-old's watch.Pearl had coaching stints at Tennessee, Milwaukee, and Southern Indiana before arriving at Auburn. The Boston native was dismissed from his role with the Volunteers after six seasons in 2011, following charges by the NCAA for unethical conduct and lying during an investigation into recruiting violations.The former Tigers sideline boss dismissed speculation regarding a potential run for Alabama's open U.S. Senate seat, insisting he plans to serve as a special assistant to the athletics director, in addition to holding an ambassadorial role.

The Golden State Warriors offered restricted free-agent forward <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nba/players/96094" href="https://thescore.com/nba/players/96094">Jonathan Kuminga</a> a three-year, $75.2-million deal that includes a team option in the third season, sources told <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/46210422/inside-warriors-stalemate-jonathan-kuminga">ESPN's Anthony Slater and Shams Charania</a>.The new contract proposal, which general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. sent late last week, includes $48.3 million guaranteed in the first two years and requires Kuminga to waive his built-in no-trade cause.The Warriors reportedly previously tabled a two-year, $45-million offer that also included a team option and involved waiving the inherent no-trade clause. Kuminga rejected that deal in July.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Kuminga is reportedly resistant to a team option, which Golden State is insisting on in its recent proposals. The 22-year-old would prefer a deal that includes a player option, which Golden State considers a nonstarter, sources told Slater and Charania.Kuminga and his agent reportedly recently suggested a one-year agreement at a negotiable number above his qualifying offer, waiving the no-trade clause and allowing the team to use his deal as an expiring contract at the deadline. Golden State reportedly rejected it because owner Joe Lacob thinks the risk of Kuminga walking for nothing next summer is too high under those circumstances.The Warriors have only presented him with one non-team option offer: a fully guaranteed three-year deal worth $54 million.Golden State shut down sign-and-trade deals from the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings for Kuminga this offseason. He has until Oct. 1 to sign the Warriors' one-year, $7.9-million qualifying offer.The former No. 7 pick averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 47 games last season. His minutes have fluctuated throughout his four seasons with the Warriors. He was out of head coach Steve Kerr's rotation for most of the first round of the playoffs last spring but got extended playing time after Steph Curry's injury in Round 2 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

"Frankly, they didn't have the resources to entertain conversations. It was a very good brief visit."Jones said that he had one conversation regarding the blockbuster deal involving Williams. The Cowboys owner emphasized getting a "significant, dominant, inside defensive player" in any trade scenario for Parsons to address the team's porous run defense.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Williams has been a staple of the Jets' defense since being taken third overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. He's earned three Pro Bowl nods after tallying 54 tackles for loss and 40 sacks through seven seasons in New York.The Philadelphia Eagles also contacted the Cowboys about a potential trade, but were rebuffed by Dallas, who didn't want to trade Parsons within their division. Dallas ultimately struck a deal with the Green Bay Packers, sending Parsons north in exchange for a 2026 and 2027 first-round selection, along with defensive lineman Kenny Clark. Green Bay also signed Parsons to a record-setting four-year, $188-million contract.

Florida head coach Billy Napier is attempting to rally his team following a disappointing 18-16 loss to USF at home."Everything that's been built here didn't all of a sudden just disappear," Napier said Wednesday, according to <a href="https://x.com/ESPNRittenberg/status/1965798195059134841">ESPN's Adam Rittenberg</a>. He added, "There has been a ton of investment put into our people, into our organization, and those things still exist. When adversity hits, you need to elevate."The Gators entered their matchup against the Bulls as significant favorites. Yet it was USF that walked out of The Swamp with a 2-0 record Saturday after kicker Nico Gramatica booted a 20-yard field goal in the final moments of the upset. Florida racked up 11 penalties for a total of 103 yards.<div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div>Napier took the brunt of criticism following the shocking loss."It's not good enough," Napier said postgame, per <a href="https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/46179368/usf-stuns-florida-second-straight-win-vs-ranked-team">ESPN's Mark Schlabach</a>. "We've got work to do. You guys know it. I know it. Anybody that watched it knows it. We got to take ownership of it, and we got to go back to work. That's it."The defeat dropped Napier's overall record as Florida's coach to 20-20. The Gators have begun each of their past four seasons with a 1-1 mark.A tough stretch of games looms for Napier and Co. in the coming weeks. The Gators begin SEC play on the road against LSU on Saturday. They visit No. 5 Miami the following week and host No. 7 Texas on Oct. 4 after a bye week.Napier would be owed a $20.4 million buyout if Florida dismissed him, per Schlabach. The school would be required to pay 50% of his remaining salary within 30 days of his termination. The coach hopes the loss to USF teaches his team a valuable lesson."The important thing here is that we use what we experienced Saturday," Napier said Wednesday, per <a href="https://x.com/GatorsScott/status/1965799502792753555">team reporter Scott Carter</a>. "Can we take that and use it as a catalyst to make the team better. What I do sense is a loyalty. They want to do their best for each other."
