The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense hasn’t been pretty to watch for most of this decade. Much of that can be blamed on their poor offensive coordinators. Nothing was worse than Matt Canada’s stint with the Steelers, though. He was the team’s offensive coordinator from 2021-2023, and Pittsburgh’s offense was absolutely miserable for most of that time.

The NFL’s Top 100 Players of 2026 list has begun dropping, and it’s almost time to see where Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford lands. With Stafford coming off an MVP season, he’s likely to earn his highest placement ever on the list, but where exactly is uncertain.
The Top 100 Players list recognizes accomplishments from the previous year and ranks players ahead of the upcoming season. Stafford has made the NFL’s Top 100 Players rankings eight times in his career. He made the list five times with the Lions, with the remaining three with Los Angeles. Additionally, the veteran...

Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot addressed rumors that cropped up this week about the Browns fielding calls to trade QB Shedeur Sanders.
Citing sources, Cabot said nothing has changed for the Browns since the end of minicamp when Sanders and QB Deshaun Watson remained locked in a competition for the starting job. The plan is still for that competition to continue through training camp.
However, Cabot said the Browns have not ruled out trading Sanders if he loses the battle for the starting job to Watson. She adds they could also explore moving QB Dillon Gabriel in the preseason, as the...

Field Gulls
When the Houston Texans went from a three-win team in 2022 under Lovie Smith and Davis Mills to a 10-win team in 2023 under DeMeco Ryans and C.J. Stroud, it was one of the NFL’s best success stories. Three years later, the Texans still haven’t gotten past the Divisional Round playoffs.
After a putrid four-interception performance in the team’s 28-16 playoff loss to the New England Patriots, the recent blame has been placed on the shoulders of Stroud, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Stroud is under contract through 2027, but many other established stars from...
Pittsburgh Steelers seventh-round pick Eli Heidenreich turned heads at OTAs and minicamp. He even received a ringing endorsement from head coach Mike McCarthy.
“Eli’s a natural football player. He’s very instinctive, has an excellent skill set,” McCarthy said earlier this month. “He’s picked up the offense. His position flexibility has been fun. He’s had a tremendous start. I’m very impressed with him.”
Longtime NFL analyst Greg Cosell expects Heidenreich to be involved in the offense from the get-go. It will not be a redshirt year for the “Swiss Navy Knife.”
“I think he’s going to play because he can do...
The Baltimore Ravens are often touted as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ greatest rival. However, the Steelers have had some heated battles with their other division rivals over the years, too. That includes the Cincinnati Bengals. The matchups between those two teams were arguably at their most ruthless in the 2010s. That includes the playoff matchup between […]

Wednesday became a payday for Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange.
The Penn State alum and fourth-year Jag reportedly agreed to a contract extension with the team for a new 3-year deal worth up to $48 million with $25 million guaranteed.
Fellow tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. recently agreed to a new deal with the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday to the tune of 3-years, $54 million and $36 million in guarantees which likely set the ceiling for the new contract given to Strange.
Strange is coming off the best pass-catching year of his career that saw him snag 46 of...

Bolts From The Blue
The Jacksonville Jaguars have had a fairly quiet offseason and are mostly running it back after winning the AFC South a year ago. On Wednesday, they locked up one of their best young pieces for the foreseeable future.
The Jags and breakout tight end Brenton Strange have agreed to a new three-year, $48 million contract extension with $25 million guaranteed, per NFL insider Mike Garafolo.
Strange emerged as one of the best young tight ends in football last season and was a critical part of the Jacksonville offense both as a pass-catcher and a run blocker. Now, Liam Coen and...

The New York Giants have taken a lot of swings in the NFL Draft since Joe Schoen became general manager in 2022. In fact, the Giants have made eight first-round picks in the past five draft periods. Six of them have come in the top-ten picks. Only two have been outside of the top 23 selections.
Of course, not all of those selections have panned out, while others have been nearly immediate hits. But sometimes good things take time, and this could be one of those cases.
