Bell, Foles Hurricanes outlast Jackets play off ense, but defense could rule free agency

By Barry Wilner The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The biggest names — Le’Veon Bell, Nick Foles, Teddy Bridgewater — play on offense. Unquestionably, though, defense is the area with the most depth in this year’s free agency class. Proof? Look at the list of players hit with the franchise tag: pass rushers galore. Edge rushers Demarcus Lawrence, Jadeveon Clowney, Frank Clark and Dee Ford were among the enticing pos- sibilities. No longer. One of the first defenders apparently headed elsewhere: Giants safety Landon Collins, staying in the NFC East with Washington. New England’s Trey Flow- ers probably is the top edge threat remaining, but defense clearly is the place to spend in this class, though it’s one of the least-loaded groups of Mount Dora’s Brody Holtman (8) gets a hit at a game between Mount Dora High School and Leesburg High School at Pat Thomas Stadium- free agents in years.

BREAKING IT DOWN Heavyweight battle

Virginia, UNC, Duke headline competitive ACC tourney field

By Aaron Beard The Associated Press

This week’s Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament is all about the league’s heavyweights. Second-ranked Virginia and third-ranked North Carolina arrive after sharing the regular-season cham- pionship and in pursuit of possible No. 1 seeds for the NCAA Tournament. And then there’s fifth-ranked Duke, hoping to get freshman star Zion Williamson back from a knee injury and prove the Blue Devils are again the team that spent a national- best seven weeks atop the AP Top 25 this season. The five-day tournament begins Tuesday in Charlotte, marking its return to the state of North Carolina after a three-year absence — the longest stretch in the event’s 65-year history. The Cavaliers (28-2, 16-2) Duke’s Zion Williamson, second from right, watches from the bench during the first half of the team’s game against Wake Forest on March are the reigning champion, 5 in Durham, N.C.
