This is where I ultimately want to be.”During the league’s spring ownership meetings in March, head coach Sean Payton said a number of teams called about Sutton and fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy. But Denver stood pat and didn’t trade either before the NFL Draft while opting to pick up Jeudy’s fifth-year option.Still, the Broncos drafted Oklahoma wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. with their first pick in the second round, fueling speculation that Sutton’s days in the Mile High are nearing an end.If Denver trades Sutton this summer, it would save $14.4 million while taking on a $3.8 million dead cap hit, according to Ov...

Mendocino Cannabis Farmers Celebrate Reforms

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 03:18:44 GMT

While there is plenty of healthy debate on whether poor regulations or mega farms destroyed the economy of The Emerald Triangle, nobody would argue against the idea they were both factors. Sacramento heard the call. A month later on March 14, the Senate Business and Professions Committee would hold a daylong seminar. The next day the state sent a letter to Mendo saying it was prepared to offer support. These conversations lasted th...
