The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the greatest franchises in NFL history. They’re tied for the most Super Bowls won by a team, and they’re consistently a playoff team. However, recently, they’ve taken a step back. While the Steelers have still been in the playoff picture, they haven’t been an actual contender for years. Their […]

Don't be surprised to see this stretch out for a bit.
The Cincinnati Bengals and first round pick Shemar Stewart made headlines when the rookie chose not to sign his contract or take the field last week.
Stewart not signing his contract isn't huge news, as most first round picks have yet to be signed. His choosing not to take the field is more of a move you'd see from a veteran looking to secure a long-term deal.
It seems the issue may be pretty simple. That doesn't mean we will see a deal happen quickly.

The Browns are having a busy day in terms of veteran safety additions. Rayshawn Jenkins has a deal in place with the team, as first reported by Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.
Jenkins joins Damontae Kazee as an experienced option at the position who has agreed to a Browns pact today. Kazee had not previously been linked to Cleveland, but that was the case for Jenkins. The latter conducted a free agent visit last month, so the news of this signing comes as little surprise.
After four years with the Chargers and three with the Jaguars, Jenkins spent the...

Stone Blanton has agreed to a three-year deal with the 49ers. The undrafted free agent played linebacker in the SEC at both Mississippi State and South Carolina.
San Francisco 49ers undrafted free agent linebacker Stone Blanton recently got married. That was a scheduling conflict, as it meant Blanton would need to be excused for rookie minicamp.
On Monday, the team announced they had signed Blanton to a three-year deal. Blanton started 24 games over three seasons in the SEC. Twelve came in 2024 at Mississippi State, where Blanton finished the year with a career-best 125 tackles. Blanton had seven career...

In a corresponding move to the Pittsburgh Steelers signing running backs Trey Sermon and Max Hurleman, the team announced on Tuesday that they have released running back Aaron Shampklin.
Shampklin signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers in January after spending most of the 2024 season on the team’s practice squad. He was elevated to the active roster ahead of the Steelers Week 4 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts, in which he made his NFL debut. He was released on October 28, 2024, and re-signed to the practice squad.
Shampklin recorded one carry for five yards in the Steelers’ 27-24...

Wilson and Ben Jones both attended the University of Georgia.
Shortly after the release of long-time starting center David Andrews, the New England Patriots turned to the draft — and back to the University of Georgia — to draft center Jared Wilson.
Regarded by many as the best pure center in the draft, Wilson now is in-line to be Andrews’ long-term replacement in New England. While the former Bulldogs have not yet held court, Wilson has had many conversations with Georgia alumni Ben Jones, who was Mike Vrabel’s starting center for five seasons in Tennessee.
“I’ve probably talked to Ben...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed Notre Dame running back and special teamer Max Hurleman, the team announced on Monday.
Hurleman had been with the team for a tryout during rookie minicamp over the weekend. He is the third player the Steelers have signed coming out of rookie camp, following fellow rookie tryout, tackle Gareth Warren, and veteran running back Trey Sermon.
Hurleman started out his collegiate journey as a running back at Colgate. With the Raiders, he played in 35 games and made 23 starts over four seasons. He was the starting running back in the 2021 and 2022 seasons,...

ESPN has been the worldwide leader in sports since establishing itself in 1979. Longtime anchor Chris Berman has been a part of the program since its birth and is seemingly going nowhere anytime soon, after reports indicate he signed a new contract with the network.
Berman’s new contract has him remaining with ESPN through 2029, making him the first employee to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary, according to Adam Schefter. He’s also slated to be with the company when ESPN broadcasts the Super Bowl in 2027.

Adding after Damonte Kazee signed: In 8 years, Rayshawn Jenkins has played for three teams
The Cleveland Browns stayed busy, reportedly, on Monday by adding multiple veterans at the safety position (and rookie wideouts, but that post comes later today). Given the obvious need at safety and wide receiver, the moves coming at those positions make sense.
Earlier Monday, reports came that FS Damontae Kazee was crossing the line from the Pittsburgh Steelers to join the Browns. Kazee has experience at cornerback and at free safety, which could help him find time on the field quickly.
Cleveland wasn’t done with...
