The team also activated S Ifeatu Melifonwu from IR and signed LB David Long to their practice squad. Anzalone, 30, is a former third-round pick of the Saints out of Florida back in 2017.

Way back in February of 2004 the Detroit Pistons were a pretty good team, but just needed one more piece to get them over the hump and make them a championship team. They got that piece when they traded with the Atlanta Hawks to get Rasheed Wallace. They won the championship a few months later. 

Major changes could be coming to the Jacksonville Jaguars if they do not beat the Detroit Lions on Sunday. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Saturday night that dramatic moves could be made regarding head coach Doug Pederson and perhaps general manager Trent Baalke as soon as this week with a loss.
