ESPN is undergoing a significant round of layoffs for the first time in three years after taking over NFL Network in April.

Adrian Wojnarowski’s decision to be one of the first significant insiders to leave on their own and try something new is surprising because some thought it might have happened sooner.

Several prominent names from the world of sports supposedly have tweeted out what would count as big news — except none of those posts are real.

It looks like a familiar face to Washington football fans will now be sporting burgundy and gold this upcoming season.

Caleb Farley sent a video to ESPN, announcing his decision to not play college football this upcoming season. I am opting out due to uncertain health conditions and regulations and all the other opt-outs going on in football right now. So thank you Virginia Tech, my coaches, teammates and anyone else who has supported me in the past. Schefter said that Farley is a projected first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Farley, who was a redshirt junior, was named First Team All-ACC last season and was tied for second in the league with four interceptions.

The Oakland Raiders reportedly are ready to make their pick of Jon Gruden as their new head coach official. The team has called for a news conference on Tuesday where they will introduce Gruden, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Friday. Gruden previously coached Oakland from 1998 to 2001 before leaving to coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He led Tampa Bay to a Super Bowl XXXVII victory over the Raiders in 2003. The Raiders fired Jack Del Rio as head coach after the team's regular-season finale on Sunday.
