We have signed TE Tanner Hudson to a one-year contract extension. 📰: https://t.co/gCFFpjKPdO pic.twitter.com/wRX5NTfwud — Cincinnati Bengals (@Bengals) January 19, 2026 Hudson, who will be seven-year veteran in the NFL, has played 38 games for the Bengals. He caught 77 passes for 674 yards and four touchdowns, including 19 catches for 168 yards and two touchdowns in 2025.“Hudson has emerged as a consistent pass-catcher and a reliable safety valve for the offense, earning the trust of the coaching staff during a year of high volatility at the quarterback position,” Yago Antunes wrote in a Clutch Sports article. “By securing his services through the 2026 season, the team provides Joe Burrow with a proven target as they look to rebuild their offensive identity and return to the high-scoring production that defined their previous Super Bowl run.”Cincinnati Bengals Remain Loaded on OffenseHudson will stay in a tight end room featuring Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample, Erick All, and Cam Grandy. Hudson will be a solid part of an impressive pass-catching group through the 2026 season.In 2025, the Bengals signed Ja’Maar Chase and Tee Higgins to lucrative long-term contracts with Chase signing a four-year $161 million extension and Higgins signing a four-year, $115 million deal, being the highest paid wide receiver duo in the NFL.Chase is coming off a vintage 2025 season where he was named First Team All-Pro, hauling in 125 catches for 1,412 yards and eight touchdowns. Tee Higgins had 59 catches for 846 yards and scored 11 touchdowns in 15 games.Running Back Chase Brown rushed for 1,019 yards and scored 11 touchdowns in 17 games. GettyTee Higgins #5, Ja’Marr Chase #1, and Joe Burrow #9 of the Cincinnati Bengals. For the past three years, offense has not been the issue for the Bengals.During the 2024 season, the Bengals had the first-ranked passing offense in the NFL off of an impressive season from Joe Burrow. In 2025, they ranked 6th with Joe Burrow being out for the vast majority of the season.The problem for the Bengals has been on the defensive side of the ball ranking 31st in total defense in the 2025 season. They ranked 26th in passing defense and 32nd in rushing defense which is dead last.Can Joe Burrow Stay Healthy?Joe Burrow has proven to be a top quarterback in the NFL, but Burrow’s inability to stay on the field has been an issue.Injuries have plagued Joe Burrow over the years which have contributed to the Bengals lack of success, including the 2025 season where the Bengals finished the season 6-11.Burrow suffered a Grade 3 turf toe injury which kept him out for 9 games in 2025. During the 2023 season, Burrow suffered a torn ligament in his right wrist which caused him to miss the rest of the 2023 season. He also suffered a significant knee injury in his rookie year.The Bengals have had success with Burrow being on field appearing in a Super Bowl in 2021 and an AFC Championship game appearance in 2022.Now that Tanner Hudson is inked through the 2026 season, the Bengals will hope to get back to the playoffs with another weapon on Burrow’s belt.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are in good hands at the second base position, both in the present and the future. Ketel Marte is set to reprise his starting role there in 2026 after being shopped in the offseason.While the team has an All-Star bat at the position in the present, it’s never a bad idea to look ahead. MLB Pipeline released their Top 10 second base prospects, with three Diamondbacks prospects making the list. Those prospects are Tommy Troy (No. 4), Demetrio Crisantes (No. 6), and JD Dix (No. 8).With Marte already in place and five years remaining on his contract, the question is, why do these prospects matter? The reality is Marte is 32 years old, and the Diamondbacks need to be airtight defensively to compete for a postseason spot. Hazen mentioned cleaning up their infield defense as a priority when acquiring Nolan Arenado from the St. Louis Cardinals.As he ages further, the plan would be to make him a full-time designated hitter and replace him defensively with a younger and more athletic player.Tommy Troy Could Be the Diamondbacks’ Next Starting Second BasemanThe Diamondbacks drafted Tommy Troy with their top selection of the 2023 MLB Draft out of Stanford. Troy was expected to be a fast mover in the system and reached Triple-A in his second full season. He should debut during the 2026 season.While he lacks a single above-average physical tool, he makes up for it with elite makeup. Troy is a grinder, consistently improving every year in Stanford and in the Diamondbacks’ system. He is currently Arizona’s No. 2-ranked prospect on FanGraphs.After struggling in his first year in Arizona, his offense took a major step forward in his second. With Double-A Amarillo, he slashed .286/.382/.461 with 12 home runs and a 121 wRC+. He cut his strikeout rate down by 5% while simultaneously improving his walk rate by 2%. The last prospect who made a significant improvement in that area, going from High-A to Double-A, was Paul Goldschmidt in 2011.Troy finished the year with Triple-A Reno, where he held his own. He slashed .295/.381/.429, which was only good for a 98 wRC+ in the offense-friendly Pacific Coast League.The most encouraging things about his play were the low chase rate (26.2%) and high contact rate in the strike zone (90.4%), per FanGraphs. Both metrics are better than the major league averages of 28.4% and 82.5%.He’ll likely get an invite to camp, but will likely open up 2026 with Reno again. However, he’s possibly one injury away from a long runway of playing time at the major league level.Demetrio Crisantes Looks to Shake Off Tough InjuryCrisantes might have gotten Top 100 considerations had he not suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in May. That injury occurred on a swing and required surgery to repair a torn posterior labrum, but he should be a full go when minor league camp starts.The former seventh-rounder in the 2022 draft might be the best hitter in the system, even over Ryan Waldschmidt. Both hitters bring a power and patience element to the lineup. Waldschmidt has the superior batting eye, although Crisantes might hit for a higher average and more power.The reason Crisantes might not be ranked higher, aside from the injury, is a questionable defensive fit. While he has played mostly second base, there’s a strong chance he’ll have to move positions. First base is a possibility, depending on how the bat develops.Based on his 2025 results, there’s a reason to be optimistic in the bat. He walked (21) more times than he struck out (19) in 151 plate appearances in High-A.With a 40-man roster decision looming next November, it would not be a shock for the Diamondbacks to place him in Double-A to begin 2026. He’d share an infield with Jansel Luis, Cristofer Torin, and Ben McLaughlin in Amarillo. It will be interesting to see who ends up at third base, with Luis and McLaughlin playing there for stretches in 2025.JD Dix is the Biggest Wild Card of the GroupDix was the third of three first round picks in the…

En réponse à Frédéric Auria. Bonjour Monsieur Auria, Sur le mal-logement, la majorité actuelle à la Ville et à la Métropole a agit comme jamais, malgré un contexte immobilier national de crise et malgré le fait que ce soit la compétence de l'État (pour l'hébergement d'urgence) : 3000 personnes mises à l'abri en 2024, budget dédié à l'hébergement d'urgence multiplié par 67 par rapport au mandat précédent, plus de 5000 logements sociaux autorisés depuis le début du mandat, création d'un fonds d'urgence pour débloquer des projets immobiliers, encadrement des loyers, 109 logements livrés en Bail Réel Solidaire (et plus de 300 en projet), soutien accru aux opérations de rénovation du patrimoine des bailleurs et des copropriétés, à la surélévation des immeubles, etc. Dans le Rhône, là où les amis de droite de monsieur Aulas sont élus (dont Véronique Sarselli), plusieurs communes sont sous tutelle de la Préfecture car leurs maires ne veulent pas construire. M. Aulas veut désencrader les loyers à Lyon, ouvrant à nouveau la porte aux abus et aux marchands de sommeil. Quant à l'écologie et les mobilités, où est le pragmatisme dans la construction d'un tunnel autoroutier payant en plein coeur de la métropole, qui ruinera la collectivité, au détriment du développement des TCL et de la sécurisation des voiries existantes, et augmentera le trafic automobile et la pollution ?
