The Lions and Sutton  agreed to a three-year contract worth $33 million with $22.5 million  guaranteed, agent David Canter told The Associated Press on Monday. Detroit  also agreed to a $18.75 million, three-year deal with linebacker Alex Anzalone,  according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of  anonymity because the move had not been announced.  The Lions also kicked off the week tendering  exclusive rights free agents: tight ends Shane Zylstra and Brock Wright,  linebacker Anthony Pittman, defensive lineman Benito Jones and long snapper  Scott Daly.

NFL – Bears get lift at LB, add Edmunds, Edwards

  The Chicago Bears made two big additions at  linebacker, agreeing to contracts with Buffalo Bills two-time Pro Bowler  Tremaine Edmunds and former Philadelphia Eagle T.J. Edwards, two people  familiar with the situations said Monday. Edmunds’ deal is worth $72 million  over four years with $50 million guaranteed. Edwards is due $19.5 million over  three years, with $12 million guaranteed. The Bears also added to their  offensive line, agreeing to a three-year, $30 million contract with Tennessee  guard Nate Davis, a person familiar with the situation said. The people spoke  on the condition of anonymity because the agreements can’t be announced until  the new league year opens on Wednesday.  The  Bears agreed Friday to trade the No. 1 overall pick in the draft to Carolina,  two people familiar with the deal said. Chicago addressed a big need for a  playmaker to help quarterback Justin Fields by acquiring star receiver D.J.

MLB/WBC – Nicaraguan pitcher signs with MLB’s Tigers  after 1 WBC inning

  Duque Hebbert turned just one inning of work in the  World Baseball Classic into a contract.  The  21-year-old pitcher for Nicaragua entered Monday’s game against the Dominican  Republic in the ninth inning and struck out All-Stars Juan Soto, Julio  Rodríguez and Rafael Devers.  That feat  impressed the Detroit Tigers enough to offer Hebbert a minor league contract  after the game.  After striking out Soto  and Rodríguez to start the inning, Hebbert gave up a double to Manny Machado,  who also had a home run in the game. Hebbert struck out Devers on a changeup  immediately after.

USA Soccer – US Soccer: Berhalter eligible to coach  after investigation

  The U.S. Soccer Federation says Gregg Berhalter  remains a candidate to stay on as men’s national team coach after a report by a  law firm concluded he did not improperly withhold information about a 1992  domestic violence allegation involving the woman who later became his wife. The  report also concluded that Berhalter’s conduct “likely constituted the  misdemeanor crime of assault on a female” but that it was an isolated event. He  can’t be prosecuted because of the two-year statute of limitations for  misdemeanors. The law firm Alston and Bird was retained after the Reyna family  reported the 30-year-old incident to the USSF.
