Veteran cornerback Darius Slay is still weighing his options regarding his future in the NFL.

He was waived by the Steelers after they added Asante Samuel Jr. and declined to report to the Bills after they claimed him off waivers. However, Slay’s former team, the Eagles, also put in a waiver claim, and he may have preferred to return to Philadelphia.

A statement issued by Slay’s agent after he did not report to Buffalo said that the 34-year-old “is going to take some time away from football right now and decide in the next few days if he wants to...

The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers square off on Sunday for the AFC North lead. With both teams struggling of late, their Wild Card chances are dwindling. The season series between the two rivals will determine the AFC North crown. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has struggled of late, but told The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec that he isn’t listening to the criticisms.

“About the criticism he’s been getting, Lamar Jackson said, ‘It’s just noise. Most of us NFL players are built off noise.’ Said he uses it for motivation,” Zrebiec reported.

[Jackson missed three games in the middle of the season...

PITTSBURGH — Instead of being in Minnesota around his wife and three children — all under the age of 10 — new Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Adam Thielen is in a different time zone. His daily routine has been flipped on its head, but, for now, he’s zeroed in on getting on the field at his new stop.

“I’m here to play football, and I’m gonna find a way,” Thielen said Friday.

The Steelers claimed Thielen, a 12-year NFL veteran, off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday. He spent time with Steelers rookie quarterback Will Howard and a few other...

The New England Patriots are enjoying some well-earned time off during their bye week. However, for head coach Mike Vrabel, there was one big order of business he had to take care of before the team returns to action.

During the month of November, Vrabel partook in “Movember,” which saw him grow out a moustache to help raise awareness for men’s health. The cause hit home extra hard for Vrabel this season, as defensive coordinator Terrell Williams has missed the majority of the 2025 campaign after being diagnosed with prostate cancer in September.

Vrabel’s moustache drew quite a bit of...

The Pittsburgh Steelers officially ruled out three players for Week 14, including S Kyle Dugger (hand), OT Calvin Anderson (knee), and DT Derrick Harmon (knee), per Brooke Pryor.

It’s a tough break for Pittsburgh’s defense, as they’ll be without their top safety. Harmon, meanwhile, has now missed his second straight game.

Dugger, 29, is a former second-round pick of the Patriots back in 2020. He attended Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, North Carolina, and became the school’s highest-drafted player.

He finished out his four-year, $8,331,904 rookie contract that included a $3,619,566 signing bonus and re-signed with New England on a...

At 2-10, the New Orleans Saints are playing for pride and development at this point in the season. But if they were to find any offensive success, running back Alvin Kamara would seemingly be at the center of it.

In Week 14 though, that won’t be the case. Kamara has been ruled out with knee and ankle injuries, via Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football.

The running back dealt with an ankle injury all season before picking up an MCL sprain in Week 12 against the Atlanta Falcons. He ended up missing Week 13 and wasn’t able to practice at all leading...

The Dallas Cowboys very nearly did it. They almost ran the gauntlet that many pundits predicted would end their season.

After consecutive three-point wins over the Eagles and the Chiefs last week, Dallas had a chance to run the gauntlet with a perfect 3-0 record.

That would have put them at 7-5-1 for the season with a very favorable schedule ahead. The Cowboys could afford a loss in Los Angeles to the Chargers with a win over Detroit.

With their other three remaining games being against the Vikings, Commanders, and Giants, even a 10-6-1 mark would get them in as...

Only one person can fire Mike Tomlin. No matter how loud the noise gets externally, the only voice that matters in the building is Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II. For the two to work together for nearly 20 years, the relationship has to be strong, and former coach Dave Wannstedt confirmed that based on […]

Eagles OC Kevin Patullo said that he can handle criticism, but after fans egged his home, he said involving his family took things too far.

“As coaches and players, we all know that part of our job is to handle criticism,” Patullo said, via PFT. “*It’s perfectly acceptable to sit up here and talk about what’s going on, how to fix it, what we’re going to do going forward, and we know that. But when it involves your family, obviously it crosses the line. So, that happened. At this point, we’ve just gotta move on. We’re trying to...

After the Dallas Cowboys’ 44-30 Week 14 loss to the Detroit Lions on “Thursday Night Football,” former star cornerback Richard Sherman called out wide receiver George Pickens for an alleged lack of effort. Sherman claimed that Pickens seemed uninterested in playing when his team needed him the most.

It appears those comments did not sit right with the 24-year-old wideout. Pickens blasted Sherman in an unhinged post on Instagram, which has since been deleted. The Cowboys’ star criticized Sherman for not understanding the game of football despite being a former player.

George Pickens responds to Richard Sherman’s postgame comments...

Dec. 5 – Ep. 82: Joe Clark and I get right into the biggest topic of the week, and that’s the future of Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. Do we agree with the calls to fire him, and is there an alternate path forward where he remains the coach with hope for a better future? […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are fighting for their playoff lives as they head into a big AFC North showdown with the Baltimore Ravens. However, some believe Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is on the hot seat. Despite this notion, there is a belief that Pittsburgh will not make a change, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
