ESPN analyst Matt Miller is under investigation by the Missouri attorney general’s office, according to reports confirmed Thursday, after being accused of past financial improprieties by multiple people.
As the scrutiny around Miller grew, card collector Travis, who runs the X account “Rip City Stacks,” said he was one of the people left hanging by Miller. Travis said Miller took him in with a promise tied to a Seattle Seahawks helmet signed by Russell Wilson, then never delivered the item.
“Not to pile on a guy while he's down but I was scammed by @nfldraftscout (Matt Miller) in 2020. I donated quite a bit to several 'raffles' for his 'organization'.
I 'won' an autographed Russell Wilson Seahawks helmet and never got it. Be a good human and don't scam people,” Travis tweeted on Thursday.
Travis also posted screenshots of his messages with Miller, showing what he described as the failed follow-up after the promised prize.
Miller has not publicly responded to the accusations.
The controversy comes after reports that Miller recently underwent a life-saving left arm amputation following a severe car accident in Missouri last month. The crash happened on June 17, when his vehicle crossed the center line and hit a semi-truck.
He also suffered multiple broken ribs, a shattered left kneecap and a compound fracture of his left femur.
Miller previously worked with Bleacher Report before joining ESPN as an NFL Draft contributor in February 2021. He became a full-time draft analyst in 2022.

Why Saints Fans Should Keep An Eye On Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris landed in New Orleans as one of the more intriguing undrafted rookies on the Saints radar, and the appeal starts with the kind of profile teams do not find every spring. The Ole Miss defensive tackle arrives with the sort of size and athletic traits that can make a coaching staff pause, especially when a team is looking for interior help and willing to bet on upside as training camp approaches.
The Saints are still sorting out exactly what Harris can become at the next level, which is why he is worth keeping an eye on once the pads come on. His path to this point was shaped by physical questions and other concerns that pushed him out of the draft, but New Orleans is giving him a shot to prove those issues do not define his future.

Alvin Kamara Suddenly Faces A Real Saints Roster Cliffhanger
Alvin Kamaras place in New Orleans suddenly looks a lot less secure than it did not long ago. The Saints running back is coming off a season in which he posted a career-low 657 scrimmage yards and only one touchdown, and his availability has become part of the conversation too after missing 13 games over the past three years.
Now the roster picture has gotten even murkier with the Saints adding Travis Etienne Jr., and Kamaras contract is part of the equation as well. His $11.5 million salary in 2026 is a major number to watch, and after a stretch of uneven production and missed time, the question is whether New Orleans can still justify keeping him in place.

Saints Open Practice Schedule Includes A Summer Return Fans Will Love
The Saints have mapped out a summer practice slate that gives fans a rare chance to see training camp up close, with 10 open sessions spread across the month and a mix of work at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center in Metairie and a return to Tulanes Yulman Stadium. The schedule also includes joint practices, the kind of August dates that usually draw the most attention because they offer a little more edge than a standard camp workout.
For fans, the appeal is as much about access as it is about football. Admission is free, though tickets must be reserved in advance, and the team is again opening up live coverage through its mobile app so supporters who cannot make it in person can still follow along. With the calendar now set, the next thing worth watching is how the Saints use those joint sessions and the stadium stop to shape the rest of camp. [Read more 🡒]
