Iran gets more difficult and Kirk Cousins strikes again

Kirk Cousins convinces another team to pay him 100% guaranteed money for the 11th straight year, bringing his total earnings to $321 million in what some call the largest heist in NFL history. An F-15 was shot down over Iran, ending ceasefire talks and sparking a frantic search for a missing pilot. Iran continues to be a thorn in the side of the U.S., trying to make the war so costly that America pulls out. The French and Polish have refused to assist, while Pete Hegseth has begun removing military leadership, and Pam Bondi is also out.   Sources:
