With WR DK Metcalf suspended for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ final two regular-season games, the team is bringing back a familiar face, signing WR Brandon Johnson to the practice squad, per The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo. The Steelers are signing WR Brandon Johnson to the practice squad, per source. Johnson, who has played in 23 NFL games […]

The Steelers made a significant, but also long-term, investment in Patrick Queen, and they see that investment gradually paying off. While he earned a Pro Bowl as an alternate last year, he has continued to grow as a player and as the leader on defense the Steelers need him to be. That was a particular […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have two of the better blocking running backs in the NFL in Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell, and both are entering the team’s Week 17 matchup against the Cleveland Browns with confidence. Both contributed in a big way in the Steelers’ win over the Detroit Lions, with Warren running in two touchdowns […]

My hopes were high for my bold prediction last week before kick off, but quickly the prediction was wrong. This time, my prediction has four quarters to stay alive.
On Christmas afternoon, the Detroit Lions travel on the road to take on the Minnesota Vikings in a complete 180 from last season’s ending. While the Vikings are eliminated from playoff contention, the Lions still have a shot, although it’s a long one. With the Lions still needing to win out, and playing before they know their fate for Week 18, they’ll do all they can to keep the hopes alive...

The Cincinnati Bengals defeated the Miami Dolphins on Sunday to improve to 5-10 on the season. While this victory didn’t change their current draft position, wins against the Arizona Cardinals and Cleveland Browns in the final two games would likely drop them at least a few spots.
Here is the updated draft order heading into Week 17 of the season.

The New York Jets have placed quarterback Justin Fields on season ending injured reserve. In all likelihood this ends Fields’ time with the Jets. He will almost certainly be cut in the offseason, ending another sorry chapter in the seemingly infinite hit parade of failed Jets quarterbacks. Fields will move on and try to rebuild his career as a backup quarterback. The Jets will move on and try to finally find a worthy starting quarterback. May both be successful in their endeavors.

After dropping their Week 16 matchup to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Denver Broncos are looking forward to getting back on track versus the Kansas City Chiefs. This is a must-win game for the Broncos who control their own destiny relative to the AFC West title and #1 seed in the AFC. Here are three players I believe need to play at a high level in order to defeat the Chiefs on Christmas.
There weren’t many positives from the Broncos’ loss to the Jaguars. It was a reality check for most every player on the...

The Arizona Cardinals are the longest tenured continuous operating pro football club in America. Only the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League have been in continuous operation longer in North America.
The Bidwill family has owned the Cardinals since 1932. Charles “Blue shirt Charley” Bidwill bought the team from Dr. David Jones, who was the second owner. A member of the Bidwill family has owned and operated the franchise ever since.
But how did the Bidwill family become owners of the franchise?

Some things have changed since the New England Patriots faced the New York Jets in November. Most things, personnel-wise, have stayed the same.
Between the active rosters, practice squads and reserve lists, eight players currently in the fold have spent time with both AFC East clubs during their NFL careers.
Here’s a run through the familiar list ahead of Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff at MetLife Stadium.
Andrew Beck, fullback — Signed by the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2019, Beck was waived at the NFL’s 53-man roster deadline following his rookie preseason. He would...

Player: OLB Jack Sawyer Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Making a start due to injuries to T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig, rookie OLB Jack Sawyer stepped up for Pittsburgh. Statistically, he recorded five tackles against the Lions, including one for loss. Although he didn’t record a sack, he applied pressure, including two quarterback hits. An imperfect […]

When I look ahead to the Cowboys’ 2026 offseason, I don’t start with what free agents I want to bring back. I will start with a simpler question: what happens if Dallas does nothing at all?
If the Cowboys allowed every contract on this free-agent list to expire, they would clear roughly $46.16 million in cap space based on average annual value.
That’s real money, the kind that gives the front office options instead of forcing it into restructures and accounting tricks.
I’m not arguing that Dallas should let everyone leave. I am saying the number itself matters. Cap flexibility...

This week we’re chugging along with the next installment in our six-part series analyzing the salary cap situations for the teams with the most work ahead in 2026 to get under the cap. We’re using Over The Cap’s effective cap space projections, which is a neat metric that accounts for how much budget teams should have next year after filling out a full roster and signing their draft class. Per OTC, six teams have deficits in the neighborhood of $25 million or more in effective cap space in 2026.
