A down year helped the San Francisco 49ers land higher in the order for the 2025 NFL Draft, allowing them to net a player of Mykel Williams’ caliber. This year the 49ers appear poised to return to the playoffs, which naturally will drop them in the draft order.

That means 49ers general manager John Lynch will have to get more creative to help the 49ers emerge with another strong class of prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft. One way to do so could be by trading a player who’s thriving, especially if they’re on an expiring contract.

That’s where the...

A pair of former Pittsburgh Steelers have been swapped in and out on the New Orleans Saints.

The New Orleans Saints have signed former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Evan Hull to their 53-man roster and released former Steelers linebacker Eku Leota, according to Aaron Wilson of Houston’s KPRC2.

Hull, 25, signed to the Saints practice squad on Oct. 29 and to their active roster on Nov. 25. He didn’t record a statistic with New Orleans, though.

Hull began his career as a fifth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. However, he suffered a torn meniscus and...

The Minnesota Vikings are in an awkward situation with their second-year quarterback. Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy has struggled during his rookie season, and those struggles continued in Week 12. Now Minnesota may be without their young quarterback once against after picking up an injury in Green Bay.

McCarthy is not expected to play against Sam Darnold and the Seahawks in Week 13, per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.

McCarthy, who has already missed five games this season, entered concussion protocol on Monday. He apparently felt symptoms while on the plane back to Minnesota after Week 12.

If McCarthy misses Week 13,...

The New England Patriots are having one of the best seasons in the NFL this year. For one of their old friends, Tom Brady, the 2025 campaign has been a nightmare for his new squad, the Las Vegas Raiders, and his frustrations appear to be boiling over.

Brady is most well-known for his legendary career in the NFL as a player, but after he retired, he ended up becoming a minority owner of the Raiders. While he isn’t directly involved in the front office, it’s become common knowledge that his influence within the building is quite large.

One decision Brady...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have parted ways with linebacker Mark Robinson, the team announced on Tuesday. Robinson’s second tenure with the Steelers was a short one, as re-signed with the club’s practice squad on Nov. 4.

Robinson was drafted by the Steelers in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He was on the team’s active roster and practice squad before being released in late August.

On Aug. 28, Robinson was signed to the New England Patriots’ practice squad. The New York Jets signed Robinson to their active roster off the Patriots’ practice squad on Sept. 23.

Robinson did not...

A former cornerback of the Pittsburgh Steelers is looking for a new home.

The Detroit Lions are waiving former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Arthur Maulet, the team announced.

Maulet, 32, signed to the Lions practice squad on Oct. 8 and was promoted to the active roster on Oct. 20. In Detroit’s Week 7 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he picked off quarterback Baker Mayfield for his fifth career interception.

He began his career as an undrafted free agent in 2017. As a rookie, he signed with the New Orleans Saints, who he spent the first couple years of his career...

The Minnesota Vikings never expected to be back in the quarterback market this offseason after moving forward with J.J. McCarthy as the franchise solution. Yet, after the QB has missed over 20 games due to injury across the past two seasons and shown the type of inconsistency that could lead to offensive turmoil, the Vikings may have no choice but to consider alternatives.

Meanwhile, the Vikings have already been linked to a trade for Mac Jones from the San Francisco 49ers. The most recent suggestion came from Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, who said a team getting a starting quarterback with...

The Pittsburgh Steelers traded WR George Pickens in May, moving on from a receiver who contributed on the field but brought headaches off it. Pickens has taken advantage of his new start with the Dallas Cowboys, as through 11 games, he has a career-high 67 receptions for 1,054 yards and eight touchdowns. The Steelers got […]

The New York Giants, to no one’s surprise, are more than a touchdown underdog to the New England Patriots for their NFL Week 13 Monday Night Football game in Foxboro, Mass. FanDuel Sportsbook currently has the Giants as 7.5-point underdogs, +340 on the Moneyline, with the Over/Under set at 46.5 points.

The Giants are 2-10, have lost six straight games, have lost 12 consecutive road games dating back to last season, have an interim head coach entering his third game, an interim defensive coordinator in his first week, and as of this writing quarterback Jaxson Dart has yet to clear...

The Dallas Cowboys enter their Thanksgiving showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs carrying momentum from a dramatic divisional win, but zero comfort from it.

After clawing back from a 21-point deficit to edge the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 at AT&T Stadium, the Cowboys sit at 5-5-1, still fighting uphill for postseason relevance. The victory was electric for the fan base, but internally, the message remains blunt that the desperation hasn’t lifted.

“We got to win every game at this point,” Prescott said during the pre-game media briefing. “The Philly game doesn’t mean anything right now. Nothing that’s happened up to this...

The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to the Chicago Bears 31-28. TE Darnell Washington had an up-and-down day at the office after rumbling into the headlines the previous week against the Cincinnati Bengals. Washington produced modestly as a pass catcher, catching both of his targets for 22 yards on the day. His blocking stood out, both positively […]

With every good musical band, there are levels. It is not displayed to their endearing music lovers, but it’s there.

The lead singer is the showman, the leader, so to speak, the one everyone looks to so that their fans are satisfied. The drummer is the crazy one, the risk taker, and the most physically gifted. The keyboard player is the tactician and exudes creativity and expects perfection. The lead guitar is the smart one, the craftsman, and most expressive. And the bass guitar player is the quiet one, the least noticed, and the main team player.
