PRO FOOTBALL:

Standout pass rusher Josh Allen and the Jaguars reached agreement on a five-year, $150 million contract that includes $88 million guaranteed, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal had not officially been signed or announced. The deal makes Allen the third-highest-paid defensive player in the league in average salary behind San Francisco’s Nick Bosa and Kansas City’s Chris Jones. Allen, the seventh overall pick in the 2019 draft, set a single-season franchise record with 17½ sacks in the final year of his rookie contract and is 10 shy of the team’s career mark (55) held by Tony Brackens (1996-2003).

After dominating on hard courts, Jannik Sinner made a smooth transition to softer clay by beating Sebastian Korda 6-1, 6-2 in the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters in Monaco. Defending champ Andrey Rublev was eliminated after a 6-4, 6-4 loss to Alexei Popyrin. Sinner improved to 23-1 this year with three titles in 2024, including the Australian Open and the Miami Open. Sinner next faces Jan-Lennard Struff in the third round, where he will join two-time champions Novak Djokovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas. Tsitsipas routed Tomas Martin Etcheverry 6-1, 6-0 and next faces No. 5 Alexander Zverev. Djokovic takes on Italian Lorenzo Musetti. Popyrin next faces Alex de Minaur in an all-Australian contest. De Minaur rallied past Tallon Griekspoor 2-6, 6-2, 6-3.
