? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said on 93.7 The Fan that guys like Patrick Peterson and Chandon Sullivan are possible re-signings following the Cam Sutton eight-game suspension.
? Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus named one offensive player to watch for all 32 NFL teams in the 2025 NFL Draft. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, Sikkema thinks Georgia quarterback Carson Beck could be on their radar.
“Russell Wilson’s and Justin Fields‘ contracts expire after the 2024 season, and while the Steelers will be hoping one shows enough to secure the long-term starting quarterback job, that would be a surprise,” Sikkema wrote.
“Beck was one of the more impressive quarterbacks in college football by the end of 2023. His arm talent, ball placement and pocket presence give him NFL starter potential. He will enter the year as many analysts’ QB1.”
? In honor of his birthday on Monday, NFL historian Kevin Gallagher posted an extensive highlight video of Jack Lambert’s best career plays.
