The Pittsburgh Steelers will conclude mandatory minicamp on Thursday before returning next week for their final rounds of OTAs. After that, they will let out for six weeks before reporting to Latrobe for training camp.

This is the time of year for fringe players to show they deserve a spot on the 53-man roster, and one receiver in particular made a big play on Tuesday to do just that.

Wide receiver Roman Wilson tracked down a deep ball from Aaron Rodgers for a big gain, as reported by Brendan Howe of Steelers Now.

“During a two-minute-type team period towards the...

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.

Today, it’s the new contract Steelers general manager Omar Khan handed out to tight end Darnell Washington on Wednesday, making the big man the 12th-highest-paid tight end in the NFL, despite being primarily a blocker.

Good move? Alan breaks it down:

The Green Bay Packers have plenty of reasons to hate the Chicago Bears. Last year, Green Bay collapsed against Chicago in the playoffs after losing Micah Parsons and other key contributors during the back half of the season. The Packers will also see Caleb Williams’ face on the cover of Madden this season. The NFL’s most iconic rivalry could get even better in 2026.

Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon was asked about the team’s rivalry with the Bears during a recent interview. He confirmed that Green Bay still has a bad taste in its mouth after how last season ended.

“Yeah,...

The Seattle Seahawks will enter the new season with only one goal in mind: Defend the title. The Seahawks made an inspired run to the championship last season, winning the crown for the first time since 2014.

Not many expected Seattle, which had a 14-3 record, to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy, but coach Mike Macdonald made everybody buy into the system, with quarterback Sam Darnold, running back Kenneth Walker III, wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, safety Nick Emmanwori, and cornerback Devon Witherspoon carrying the torch.

Except for Walker’s move to the Kansas City Chiefs, the team retained...

On Thursday, the Detroit Lions will close out Week 2 of Organized Team Activities. It’s their sixth practice of OTAs, and it will be the second with media present at Allen Park. That means more Dan Campbell, more additional media sessions, and a full report of observations coming later on Thursday afternoon.

Last week, we got some answers to questions. We got vague injury updates from Campbell, a list of players who participated in practice (based on our own observations), and an idea of what the depth chart may look like based on just one day of practice—although Campbell urged...

Former New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson announced Wednesday that he’s hanging up his pads.

Wilson is ending a decorated playing career and stepping into broadcasting, joining the CBS pregame show “NFL Today as an analyst.

“As I enter this next chapter with CBS Sports and ‘The NFL Today,’ I’m so blessed to continue doing what I love most — being around the greatest game in the world,”

Once deemed “too short” to be an NFL quarterback, Wilson was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks out of Wisconsin in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Despite being the...

The Cleveland Browns did the unthinkable this week: Trade the face of the franchise when they shipped off pass rusher Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. The deal included three draft picks plus DE Jared Verse.

Verse is a good player. He isn’t Garrett, but he is three years younger and has accolades of his own.

The Cleveland Browns do not what to see defensive end Myles Garrett ever make it back to the AFC North.

The Cleveland Browns moved on from reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett this week, trading him to the Los Angeles Rams. However, they did everything they could to ensure he does not find himself back in the AFC North.

According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Browns made the 2029 third-round pick that they sent to the Rams conditional. It will become a first-round pick if Los Angeles were to trade Garrett back into the AFC...

With a $100 million contract on the books, one would think the Steelers want to maximize Nick Herbig’s playing ability. With 16 sacks across roughly 1,200 snaps and 9 forced fumbles, he is a playmaker. The only problem is they already have two starting edge rushers—so where do his snaps come from? Despite the new […]

The Denver Broncos begin the preparations for the upcoming 2026 season with a very strong roster, but an exceptionally loaded secondary. Every key starter and most every backup from last season is poised to come back and keep the back end of Denver’s defense one of the premier strengths of the team.

Very few notable free agents vacated Denver via free agency, but backup safety P.J. Locke was one of them. Locke signed a one-year deal worth $5 million with the Dallas Cowboys. With his departure, that opens up one roster spot at the position groups—which figures to be one...
