NFL – AP source: Lions add David Montogmery, Emmanuel  Moseley

  The Detroit Lions and running back David Montgomery  have agreed on an $18 million, three-year deal, a person familiar with the deal  told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Montgomery’s deal includes $11 million in  guaranteed money. The Lions also agreed with cornerback Emmanuel Moseley on a  $6 million, one-year contract, a person familiar with that deal told the AP.  Both people spoke on condition of anonymity because the deals can’t be  announced until Wednesday. Montgomery ran for 801 yards and five touchdowns  last season in his fourth year with the Chicago Bears. He averaged 902 yards  per season and 3.9 yards per carry with 26 career TDs.

NFL – Bears agree to deal with Titans DE DeMarcus  Walker

  The Chicago Bears have added help on the defensive  line, agreeing to a deal with former Tennessee Titans defensive end DeMarcus  Walker. Walker tweeted that he has an agreement in place with Chicago. The  Bears agreed to a two-year contract extension with fullback Khari Blasingame  through the 2025 season and a one-year extension with long snapper Patrick  Scales. Offensive lineman Dieter Eiselen — an exclusive rights free agent —  signed a one-year contract. Walker is coming off his best year, with a career-high  seven sacks in his lone season with the Titans. He played for Denver from 2017  to 2020 and Houston in 2021. The Bears sorely needed help on the defensive line  after finishing with a league-worst 20 sacks, their lowest total since the 2003  team had 18.

FIFA – FIFA expands 2026 World Cup again to create  104-game program

  The expanded World Cup in North America has gotten  even more supersized. The governing body of soccer increased the size of the  2026 tournament for a second time. FIFA has created a bigger opening stage with  four-team groups in a 104-game schedule. The tournament will now last nearly  six weeks in June-July in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The decision  adds 24 more games for the 16 host cities. That should further fuel FIFA’s  expected record revenue of at least $11 billion through 2026. The 1998 World  Cup in France was the first with 32 teams.

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.

Iditarod – Grandson of Iditarod co-founder wins Alaska  sled dog race

  Ryan Redington has won the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog  Race, which his grandfather helped co-found. Redington’s dog team pulled him  down Nome’s main street shortly after noon on Tuesday, sliding him under the  iconic burled arch finish line. The 40-year-old Redington will pocket about  $50,000 for the win. Redington’s grandfather, Joe Redington Sr., helped start  the Iditarod, which had its first race in 1973. Ryan Redington, who is Inupiat,  becomes the sixth Alaska Native musher to win the world’s most famous sled dog  race. This is first Iditarod victory, but he won the Junior Iditarod in both  1999 and 2000.
