KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations says the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a three-year, $31.5 million contract with safety Justin Reid. That likely ends Tyrann Mathieu’s time with Kansas City. The deal with Reid was reached late Monday and includes $20 million guaranteed. That's according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because signings cannot become official until Wednesday. ESPN.com was first to report the agreement. While he doesn’t come with the same kind resume of Mathieu, a three-time All-Pro whose contract expired after last season, Reid is significantly younger and potentially joins the Chiefs with his best years ahead of him. The 25-year-old has been one of the few solid parts of the struggling Houston Texans over the past four seasons.
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Bryson Etienne scored 21 points and Texas Southern beat Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 76-67 in the First Four of the NCAA Tournament. The Cowboys earned their third NCAA Tournament win in five seasons and will play top-seeded Kansas in the Midwest first round. PJ Henry hit a go-ahead free throw to highlight a 7-0 run in which Texas Southern took the lead and never surrendered. He finished with 14 points and shot 10 of 13 at the free throw line.
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Trayce Jackson-Davis had 29 points and nine rebounds, Jordan Geromino scored a career-high 15 points and Indiana beat turnover-prone Wyoming 66-58 in a First Four game. With the crowd at University of Dayton Arena heavily tilted — Bloomington, Indiana, is less than a three-hour drive away — the Hoosiers led by as many as 10 with under two minutes left in the game. Hunter Maldonado paced the Cowboys with 21 points but turned the ball over 10 times. Graham Ike had 17 to go along with and nine rebounds.
UNDATED (AP) — NCAA Tournament teams rise and fall with guard play. Look no further than last year for evidence. Second-seeded Ohio State lost to No. 15 Oral Roberts in overtime after guard Duane Washington Jr. missed a career-high 14 shots, including a step-back jumper in the closing seconds of regulation with the score tied. Baylor won its first national title in men’s basketball, leaning heavily on three guards in a 16-point win over over Gonzaga. In this year’s tournament, there are backcourt wizards to watch such as Kansas' Ochai Agbaji, Purdue's Jaden Ivey and Baylor's James Akinjo.
UNDATED (AP) — Keegan Murray has given Iowa a first-team Associated press All-American for the third straight year. He is joined on the first team by Kofi Cockburn of Illinois, Wisconsin’s Johnny Davis, Kentucky big man Oscar Tshiebwe and Kansas guard Ochai Agbaji. Drew Timme of Gonzaga led the AP second team for the second straight year and was joined by freshman teammate Chet Holmgren. Jaden Ivey of Purdue, Jabari Smith of Auburn and Benedict Mathurin of Arizona rounded out the second team.
CHICAGO (AP) — Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman, Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. and Detroit Tigers infielder Spencer Torkelson are among baseball's most intriguing rookies this summer. The switch-hitting Rutschman looks ready to lead the Orioles’ revival after 110 losses by the big league club last year. Witt was selected by Kansas City with the No. 2 pick in the 2019 amateur draft, right behind Rutschman. Torkelson, the No. 1 pick in the 2020 draft, batted .267 with 30 homers and 91 RBIs in 121 games in the minors last season.
NEW YORK (AP) — A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that Anthony Rizzo is staying with the New York Yankees, agreeing to a $32 million, two-year contract. A three-time All-Star, Rizzo was acquired by the Yankees from the Chicago Cubs on July 29 and added a left-handed bat to a heavily right-handed batting order in New York. Rizzo also provided plate discipline and smooth fielding at first, where he has won two Gold Gloves.
