In the days leading up to free agency, there is bound to be a lot of “ smoke and mirror” games across the league. Some, if not most, is unsubstantiated, but it’s a period where teams begin to fill in the blanks on their rosters. The Steelers have long been a team that prefers building through the draft, nurturing their own draft picks into star-caliber players. With more cap room than they’ve had in quite some time, perhaps this year will be an outlier as the team looks to not go… Source link

NFL wild-card weekend came and went and swept away six teams in the first season with an expanded playoff. Most lost to superior clubs, while others made their own crippling mistakes or were perhaps the victim of bad officiating.  Now, these six teams head into the offseason looking for answers about why their postseason ended with a first-round exit. Some solutions will be easier to solve, while others may have a hard time returning to the postseason after the NFL’s first 18-week season…. Source link

When the Washington Football Team benched Dwayne Haskins in early October, it was hard not to think about his future and where it would be. For Haskins, a first-round draft pick 21 months ago, being benched after four games for journeyman Kyle Allen didn’t portend great things for his job status with Washington. By now, you probably know what occurred over the next three months. A succession of injuries to Allen (then Alex Smith) led Washington to hand the starting job back to Haskins, who… Source link

Chase Claypool picked up the TikTok torch of disrespecting opponents in a live stream with his followers. Except unlike Smith-Schuster’s ritual pregame social media dances, Claypool’s… Source link

Cleveland scored a defensive touchdown on the first play from scrimmage — a botched snap over the head of Ben Roethlisberger — and finished with five forced turnovers. Pittsburgh, forced to play from behind the whole way, could not come up with momentum-shifting takeaways down the stretch. The Browns’… Source link
