Richie James Announces Retirement

Saturday, July 19, 11:06 AM

Wide receiver Richie James announced on X on Friday that he is retiring from professional football. "It took time but i have come to realize I am retired from the NFL. Seventh round out of MTSU. I feel like I was just a ballplayer to last that long. Unfortunately, my knee never healed properly. I was playing hurt since 2022. Oh well. I gave everything I got to the game of football," James wrote. The 29-year-old was originally selected 240th overall in the seventh round by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2018 NFL draft out of Middle Tennessee State. He played the first three years of his career in the Bay Area before joining the New York Giants in 2022. James last played for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023. He will finish his five-year career with 105 catches on 143 targets for 1,372 yards and seven touchdowns in 66 regular-season games (15 starts).

Zay Flowers News

Zay Flowers an Early Free Agency Winner

Sunday, March 15, 10:47 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers quietly finished 2025 with a career-high 1,211 receiving yards, largely on the strength of three monster 120+ yard performances littered throughout the season. Now, with the Ravens welcoming a new coaching staff for 2026, Flowers is in a position to become the clear focal point of Baltimore's passing offense. Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle arrived in Baltimore from Ben Johnson's coaching tree, noting the importance of explosive plays, and then in the opening week of free agency, the team said goodbye to two of its more explosive playmakers in Isaiah Likely and Keaton Mitchell. Heading into the NFL draft, Flowers' biggest competition for targets is the soon-to-be-31-year-old Mark Andrews and sixth-year wideout Rashod Bateman, who has yet to top the 46 receptions from his rookie year.
