Rookie Devon Witherspoon unsigned and absent from start of Seahawks camp

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Devon Witherspoon’s first training camp practice was going to be notable for being the highest draft pick in recent memory by the Seattle Seahawks to take the field. The opening day of Seahawks’ training camp on Wednesday instead became notable due to Witherspoon’s absence as he remained the only unsigned player from this year’s rookie class. Witherspoon, a cornerback from Illinois, was the fifth overall pick by the Seahawks, but he was still unsigned as camp kicked off.Seattle coach Pete Carroll sounded hopeful a resolution would come soon. “He’s not here today. He knows everything he needs to know,” Carroll said. “I can’t imagine he won’t be here very soon.”Witherspoon is due a four-year contract worth a guaranteed $31.8 million as the terms of being selected fifth overall, though there appears to be an impasse around bonus money he would be due.Seattle signed running back Zach Charbonnet, one of two second-round picks...Copa Mundial 2023: Portugal vs. Vietnam; aquí todos los detalles

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:56:03 GMT
BOULDER, Colo. (KDVR) -- Over the next 10 years, the U.S. Forest Service is expected to thin out roughly 50 million acres of dense forest in the American West, including hundreds of thousands of acres in Colorado. One of the methods for thinning our nation's forests includes chopping down trees, trimming branches and creating massive slash piles to burn or haul the timber out of the forest. Since controlled burns rely heavily on perfect conditions, Boulder researchers are trying to find a new way to get rid of all that biomass on a large scale."We're building a bridge between sort of a waste product, which is a burden in forestry and a deficiency in agricultural land with regards to soil health," Boulder Mushroom owner Zach Hedstrom said. The company recently received a grant from Boulder County and the City of Boulder to use mushrooms to break down woodchips created in the foresting process and break that matter down to nutrient-rich soil.

DENVER (KDVR) -- The Denver metro area was relieved once a local dog named Watson was saved from euthanasia on Sunday. But it's not easy for the Denver Animal Shelter to make the decision.The Denver Animal Shelter is one of the only shelters in Colorado that will take an animal no matter the condition, and the shelter takes every single animal brought in. Because of this, it isn't a no-kill shelter. For every eight dogs that come into the Denver Animal Shelter, one of them is euthanized, according to a state document provided by Tammy Vigil, Denver Department of Public Health and Environment. But those rates include animals that are abused and severely aggressive."No kills have the luxury to pick and choose what animals come into their system. Our door's open. We serve the most vulnerable animals in the community," Melanie Sobel, director of Denver's Department of Animal Protection.

“Taking the season one game at a time” might be the biggest cliche in sports, but it’s actually appropriate for the Mets right now. Every game matters right now with the Mets trying to climb the standings before the trade deadline next Tuesday.A veteran clubhouse doesn’t necessarily need to remind everyone to focus on the task ahead instead of letting their mind drift toward deadline news and rumors, but that isn’t always as easy it sounds.“It’s hard to not wonder,” outfielder Brandon Nimmo said Wednesday before the Subway Series finale at Yankee Stadium. “That’s one of the challenges. You sit there and say, ‘OK, this scenario would be fun, this could be awesome.’ But none of that matters if I don’t focus on today and take care of today.”With televisions in most MLB clubhouses set to MLB Network or ESPN, even the players who stay off social media will still hear the speculation.
