The mere mention of the name Matt Canada is enough to fill Pittsburgh Steelers fans with rage, angst, and PTSD.
Canada was the Steelers’ offensive coordinator from 2021-23, a span in which the Steelers were one of the worst offenses in the NFL.
From 2022-23, the Steelers scored 30 points just once and failed to reach 400 total yards in 58 consecutive game – a streak that was snapped in the team’s first game after Canada’s firing.
It’s not only fans that grew tired of Canada, but players as well. One of those players was wide receiver Calvin Austin.

NFL Trade Rumors
The Jets insisted upon including Adonai Mitchell in the blockbuster Sauce Gardner trade with the Colts last year in the hopes that the 2024 second-round pick would become a key part of their receiving corps. His performance in spring practices has already begun to reward that belief.
After nine catches for 152 yards to open the year in Indianapolis, Mitchell doubled that production across his eight games in New York despite a tumultuous quarterback situation and the absence of other receiving talent elsewhere on the field.
The Jets addressed both of those weaknesses this offseason, finding stability under center by...

Will the New York Giants need a wide receiver in 2026?
It’s impossible to say at this stage, but it’s certainly possible that they will. Even if Malik Nabers makes a full recovery and Malachi Fields impresses as a rookie, most of the Giants’ receiving corps is on a one-year contract. And if quarterback Jaxson Dart takes the next step in his development, the Giants will need to prioritize giving him weapons with which to attack defenses.
That said, if Dart does take the next step in his development, the Giants likely won’t be in a position to draft at...

Pro Football Focus recently ranked the top-32 wide receivers in the NFL, and Pittsburgh Steelers wideout DK Metcalf was tabbed at No. 27.
“In his first season with Pittsburgh, Metcalf led the Steelers with 850 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns. His 1.83 yards per route run ranked among the top 30 qualified wide receivers despite posting a career-low 11.3-yard average depth of target because of Aaron Rodgers‘ conservative tendencies,” PFF wrote. “The additions of Michael Pittman Jr. and rookie Germie Bernard should help alleviate some of the pressure on Metcalf to carry the Steelers’ passing game.”
Metcalf was the...

Not everyone is buying into the Steelers’ outlook entering the 2026 season.
In his latest NFL power rankings, Yahoo Sports senior writer Frank Schwab slotted Pittsburgh at No. 20 in the league, making it clear he has significant doubts about the direction of the franchise under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy.
Schwab was particularly critical of the Steelers’ coaching hire, suggesting the organization opted for familiarity over a bold change after moving on from longtime head coach Mike Tomlin.
“The Steelers could have swung big on a young coach rising through the ranks,” Schwab wrote.
He continued by questioning whether...

The Giants have growing clarity about the returns of running back Cam Skattebo and wide receiver Malik Nabers from the injuries that ended their 2025 seasons.
In an appearance on The Domonique Foxworth Show, head coach John Harbaugh said (via Pro Football Talk’s Josh Alper) that both players are “on schedule” in their recoveries. Skattebo is expected to be ready “early on in camp,” while Nabers is “not far behind.”
“There’s a lot of optimism about both those two guys right now,” Harbaugh added.
Skattebo, 24, dislocated and fractured his ankle in late October with [an original goal of participating...

There’s no doubt that Minnesota Vikings‘ Justin Jefferson and the Cincinnati Bengals‘ Ja’Marr Chase are two of the NFL’s best receivers. What is up for debate is who’s better than the other.
After all, these two are former LSU teammates who won a championship in college, and have since remained good friends. Perhaps it’s no mistake that they’re now among the best at their position. But they’re two different players with unique skill sets. So, what sets the two apart?

Adam Peters made roster moves big and small this offseason. The Commanders general manager kept busy trying to get his team back on track after a 5-12 disaster of an encore from an NFC title game appearance in his first season with Washington.
That included 17 free-agent signings, eight players retained in free agency and six contract extensions. Peters let several others walk right out the door. He also made six NFL draft picks, and then added nine undrafted players.
He was heavily involved in the decision to keep head coach Dan Quinn around and replace both coordinators – there...
