Perhaps it’s a little like the aging Aaron Rodgers for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But when Darius Slay wound up as a healthy scratch for the Bills game, the handwriting was on the wall. And on Tuesday, the Steelers decided to part ways with Slay amid the AFC North playoff race, according to a post on X by Adam Schefter.

“Steelers and CB Darius Slay have mutually agreed to part ways, Slay’s agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey told ESPN. Slay is interested in continuing to play and will consider signing with other teams. But his time in Pittsburgh has come...

The Seattle Seahawks are one of the dominant teams of the 2025 season. This team can make a serious playoff run this year with the talent on both sides of the ball. There is not a single team in the NFC that wants to go to Seattle to play a road game against this squad.

An ongoing debate for the offense has been at the running back position. Both Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet contain RB1 qualities, but unfortunately, only one player can get the ball at a time. The Seahawks do a great job of keeping their game...

A year ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers started on a really high note, even reaching a 10-3 record before dropping the final four games of the regular season. That trend continued in the playoffs, where the Steelers were convincingly bounced out of the Wild Card Round after a 28-14 loss.

Aaron Rodgers was brought in to help stabilize a team that felt like it already had strong leadership on both sides of the ball, and many other talented players followed suit.

Yet, now one of them has had enough of Pittsburgh.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Steelers and Slay have...

After a costly missed extra point in Week 13, the Colts are moving on from kicker Michael Badgley. The team waived him on Tuesday.

The Minnesota Vikings announced they have cut QB Desmond Ridder from the practice squad.

The #Vikings have released QB Desmond Ridder from the practice squad.

He was added recently with the team’s injury questions. They still have three in the building.

Ridder, 25, was a four-year starter at Cincinnati and quarterbacked the school to a berth in the College Football Playoff in 2021, the first time ever a non-Power 5 school had earned that distinction. The Falcons used the No. 74 overall pick in the third round on him in...

The Detroit Lions already know Amon-Ra St. Brown’s ankle issue is not considered a long-term problem, but that doesn’t mean he’s a lock for Thursday. After leaving the Thanksgiving loss to the Green Bay Packers with a sprained ankle and being ruled out early, head coach Dan Campbell indicated the expectation was more “a week or two” on the shelf rather than anything season-threatening.

Even so, the timing of the injury could force Detroit to navigate a massive NFC showdown without its top receiver.

For the second straight day, St. Brown did not participate in practice as he rehabs the...

The Chicago Bears are one of the NFL’s biggest surprises this season, with a 9-3 overall record. Bears head coach Ben Johnson has been critical of Chicago’s passing game, despite that hot start.

Johnson appears to be walking back some of that criticism.

“He said ‘my comments from Monday might be construed as I am not happy with the quarterback right now, and that could not be further from the case’,” ESPN reporter Courtney Cronin reported on the network.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Steelers are promoting CB Asante Samuel Jr. from the practice squad to the active roster.

It’s worth noting Pittsburgh mutually parted ways with CB Darius Slay after making him a healthy scratch in Week 13.

Samuel Jr., 26, is the son of former NFL CB** Asante Samuel** and opted out of the 2020 collegiate season after eight games at Florida State. The Chargers drafted Samuel Jr. with pick No. 47 overall in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Samuel Jr. played out the final year of his four-year deal worth $7,222,944 that...

The rare modern cornerback to play an age-34 season, Darius Slay will see his time with the Steelers end earlier than expected. Pittsburgh is moving on from the veteran defender.

This is being described as a mutual parting, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Pittsburgh will sign fellow corner Asante Samuel Jr. from the practice squad to fill Slay’s roster spot. Slay was a healthy scratch for the Steelers’ Week 13 game against the Bills, foreshadowing this decision.

More to come.

According to Adam Schefter, the Steelers and CB Darius Slay have agreed to mutually part ways. In other words, Pittsburgh is releasing the veteran cornerback.

Schefter adds Slay still wants to play and will consider signing with other teams.

Signed to a one-year deal to start this past offseason, Slay struggled on the field and had seen his snaps fall, culminating in being a healthy scratch this past weekend.

Slay, 34, is a former second-round pick of the Lions back in 2013. He played out his rookie contract before agreeing to a four-year, $50.2 million extension that included $23 million...

After winning 12 games and reaching the NFC Conference Championship, the Washington Commanders enter the season with even higher expectations. They were always going to be tough to reach, but once Jayden Daniels’ injury concerns popped up, it was as if the Commanders’ season was lost.

Now entering the NFL Week 14 schedule with a 3-9 record, Commanders fans are starting to look ahead to next season rather than one that feels like it has no hope. Yet, the Commanders are already being linked to potential roster improvements that could be coming this offseason.

Specifically, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says that...
