What kind of sports do you shoot?
And what are you looking for? Do you need the reach of the lenses, do you need brighter lenses, faster frame rates, what kind of resolution are you interested in?

I shoot ice hockey and baseball for the most part. Most arena's lighting is horrible, and I have to primarily shoot with my f/4 Nikon glass. The range is actually perfect for hockey, the 70-200mm f/4 would be extra reach.

However for baseball, 200mm is not enough, and I would typically use the 300mm Nikon lens I have. Faster frame rates than the D750 is a must, not overly concerned about resolution. f/2.8 lens are out of my budget.

Maybe have a look at the Sony A9 or A9II with the tamron 28-75 2.8 and 70-180 2.8 and see how that fits with your budget.
