Today’s question: Is the New York Giants’ receiving corps of Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall and Sterling Shepard the best in the league?

Todd Archer, Dallas Cowboys reporter: I like what the Atlanta Falcons have with Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu and Taylor Gabriel. I like what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did in adding DeSean Jackson to Mike Evans. I like what the Pittsburgh Steelers have with Antonio Brown and a good group that will be better if Martavis Bryant returns to form. But from Nos. 1-3, it’s hard to quibble with the Giants. Beckham might be the most dynamic receiver in the league. Having joined a new team — if not in a new stadium — Marshall will be motivated to show what he has left. Shepard had a productive rookie season and should be better. We know the Giants will throw the ball a lot, and the trio will get plenty of looks from Eli Manning. Quick aside: I’m surprised Dwayne Harris hasn’t done more as a receiver with New York. I thought he would have been better after seeing him with the Cowboys earlier in his career.

Tim McManus, Philadelphia Eagles reporter: I’m a fan of Atlanta’s corps of Jones, Sanu and Gabriel, and have respect for the receivers in Oakland, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay as well, but the Giants’ receivers absolutely deserve to be in the conversation. It’s difficult to envision how the Eagles’ secondary will handle this group. Jalen Mills on Beckham? Patrick Robinson on Marshall? Ron Brooks, coming off a ruptured quad tendon, trying to keep up with Shepard in the slot? Could be trouble. More times than not, the Giants will enter a game holding a matchup advantage in that department, which is a beautiful thing to have going for you. Marshall is coming off a down year (788 yards, 3 TDs in 15 games). I’m curious to see whether at age 33, he can still reach lofty heights. That’s the X factor for me. If he can be the type of imposing presence we’ve become accustomed to, this just might be the best receiving corps in the NFL.

UEFA could impose a North American-style salary cap on Europe’s top football clubs in an attempt to control spending and eradicate the stockpiling of players, the body’s president, Aleksander Ceferin, said.

Teams competing in the Champions League and Europa League must already comply with UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations, which ask clubs to meet the break-even mark over a finite period of time.

The spirit of FFP is aimed at curbing spending outside of one’s means, but financial power still rests with Europe’s elite.

“In (the) future, we will have to take into serious consideration the possibility of limiting clubs’ budgets for players’ wages,” Ceferin told Slovenian magazine Mladina, courtesy of ESPN FC. “If we succeed, it will, in my opinion, be an historic change.”

Wages now make up 62 percent of the net costs of European clubs, according to a UEFA-commissioned report released in January. Salaries in general have grown at an average rate of 10.3 percent over the past 20 years.

A salary cap would reduce the concentration of talent within a select range of teams and reduce player hoarding.

“With the introduction of salary caps, clubs should think more about what (players) are worth,” Ceferin added.

This kind of rule change would still require the approval of the European Club Association, which counts 220 clubs from 53 countries, including heavyweights Real Madrid and Manchester United, among its ranks.

The company that distributed Dak Prescott-autographed sports cards that were allegedly signed by a machine said Friday it conducted an investigation and found that some of the signatures “may not be authentic.”

Panini America said in a statement that Prescott’s representatives “have no knowledge” of how the cards in question were sent back to Panini. The company typically includes an affidavit with all products intended for signatures that certifies the item in question was signed by that athlete’s hand.

A message to Prescott’s representatives was not immediately returned.

The company said it was recalling the 167 redemption cards it sent to its customers and would be replacing them with new autographs from Prescott. According to Panini, the new cards will have a special Prescott hologram.

Panini officials said the company re-signed the Dallas Cowboys quarterback to a new deal on Thursday, the day after ESPN reported that Beckett Grading Services refused to verify Prescott’s signature on Panini’s 2016 Prizm set.

Barcelona has conducted its most important piece of business this summer, and probably of many more transfer windows after that.

The Blaugrana’s outrageous orchestrator, Lionel Messi, will sign a contract renewal with the club in “the coming weeks,” Barcelona announced on Wednesday. The fresh terms will extend the Argentinian’s agreement in Catalonia until June 30, 2021.

Messi’s pay packet is set to bloat to an astronomical £500,000 a week, The Independent’s Ed Malyon reports. To pluck Messi from the Camp Nou, Moises Llorens of AS understands it will cost a rival around €300 million to meet his new release clause.

Should he stay for the duration of the contract, it will extend Messi’s association with Barcelona to 21 years after he joined from Newell’s Old Boys at age 13. In that time he collected a plethora of silverware, including eight La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues. On a personal level, no one in football history has matched his tally of five Ballon d’Or prizes.

Messi’s goal record – he’s netted 507 times in 583 outings – eclipses any individual feat that has come before him at Barcelona. He now has the luxury of four years to add to his unrivalled legacy at the Spanish behemoth.

Barca detailed the records Messi could have on his radar in the coming years, which include:

• He’s two goals short of hitting 100 goals past non-Spanish teams.
• He’s nearly a centurion in Champions League football, with 94 goals in 115 matches. His rival Cristiano Ronaldo tops the pile with 105 strikes.
• He can win more club titles than anybody else. Messi has 30, but Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs leads with 36.
• Two more European titles will draw Messi level with record-holders Paolo Maldini, Arie Haan, and Dani Alves – all of whom have nine.
• The all-time leading scorer with a single club is Gerd Muller (Bayern Munich) with 525. Messi has 507.
• Messi and Ronaldo have four Golden Shoes apiece. Long may that battle continue.

Messi’s paperwork wards off any potential interest from Manchester City, which is overseen by his old boss Pep Guardiola, and brushes away any further concerns that he’ll seek an alternative challenge after it was widely reported he rejected an initial offer in May.

Messi is currently on his honeymoon with his childhood sweetheart Antonella Roccuzzo, and his new contract will be waiting for him upon his return for pre-season training.
