The NFL's non-quarterback contract market has seen an unprecedented explosion in 2025. This year alone, five different players have held the title of the highest-paid non-QB. This trend culminated with Micah Parsons's record-setting $47 million annual salary with the Packers, following his trade from the Cowboys. His contract represents a 34.3% jump in the market's top value, signaling a new and lucrative era for elite defensive and offensive talent.

New York Mets rookie Jonah Tong delivered a stellar MLB debut, allowing just one earned run and striking out six over five innings in a dominant 19-9 win over the Miami Marlins. The Mets' offense provided historic support, scoring a franchise-record 19 runs at home. Tong's performance earned him a spot in the team's six-man rotation, cementing his role in the team's postseason push.

With only a month left, the MLB playoff races are at a fever pitch. In the AL, the Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers are battling for the top seed, while the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, and Seattle Mariners are in a tight race for Wild Card spots. In the NL, the Milwaukee Brewers hold a strong lead, with the Dodgers and Phillies vying for the second bye. The NL Wild Card is a tight race with the Cubs, Padres, and Mets fighting to stay above the Cincinnati Reds.
