The tiny town of West Goshen, Calif., was exactly the kind of place that community solar was designed for.

The Seahawks cash conundrum and the fifth-year options
Sunday marks four weeks since the Seattle Seahawks thumped the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX 29-13, laying claim to the title of World Champions. Specifically, fifth year options are fully guaranteed at exercise, and in the present case of JSN and Witherspoon, the options cover the 2027 NFL season. That means that exercising the options means Witherspoon and JSN would have fully guaranteed salaries in a future league year, which would, of course, trigger the funding rule. However, given the cash spending obligations of the Seahawks in 2026 under the minimum spending requirements of the CBA that Field Gulls covered Wednesday, exercising the fifth year options adds tens of millions more in cash obligations for 2026. The signing bonuses of contract extensions alone would likely put the team close to, if not in excess of the 2026 cash spending requirements.

Discovery, Paramount CEO David Ellison is seeking to reassure them that the independence of the venerable news brand will be kept alive. Ellison gave his first interview about the WBD deal (aside from his call with Wall Street analysts earlier this week) to CNBC, where CNN’s future was the subject of intense interest from David Faber. “CNN is an incredible brand with an incredible team, and we absolutely believe in the independence that needs to be maintained for those incredible journalists, and we want to support that going forward,” Ellison said. “Editorial, independence will absolutely be maintained. It is maintained at CBS, it will be maintained at CNN.”Of course, Bari Weiss’ run at CBS is one of the reason that CNN staff are so concerned.
