🏈 The Cincinnati Bengals and All-Pro edge rusher Trey Hendrickson have resumed talks on a new contract, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
🏈 Skip Bayless believes the Steelers are now the front runners for Arch Manning in the 2026 NFL Draft.
“I hurt for Steelers fans because you want to talk about a cornerstone, highly respected franchise until now. Ten years since you won a playoff game and now, it sure appears that you could be the frontrunner in what I assume or presume is going to be the Arch Manning derby next year. You just could have the worst record in the league, especially stuck in that division with that new quarterback,” Bayless said on the Skip Bayless Show.
🏈 Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger believes this could be the last year for Aaron Rodgers.
“This might be it for him, personally. I’m just guessing. Coming off my elbow, my first year back, I felt like I was 100. You don’t realize you’re not 100 until the next year, when you are 100,” Roethlisberger said on his Footbahlin podcast.

“Being able to play against Minkah every single day is so educational. It’s kind of like having a guy like Aaron Rodgers on our side,” Arth said. “You have a guy like Minkah who’s such a cerebral player, such an elite player in this league, and you know, pick his brain and see how he sees the game from his perspective of a safety, what he’s looking at, how he’s looking at the quarterback’s demeanor, eyes, all those things is awesome. And he’ll ask our guys and me as many questions as we’re trying to ask him.”
🏈 Steelers rookie quarterback and former Ohio State Buckeye Will Howard was back in Columbus on Saturday hosting a youth football camp at his teammate, Jack Sawyer’s alma mater (Pickerington North High School).
“I’ve always wanted to be able to have an impact on kids like I was impacted when I...
