đ Newly acquired Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf recently worked out in Steelers gear at UCLA.
đ Steelers tight end Darnell Washington thought Jaylen Warren was a high-draft pick. Warren actually signed with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent out of Okalahoma State in 2022.
âHonestly, I thought he was and this, again, I never watched football, so when I first came in, and before I knew where he went or whatever, undrafted. I thought he was like a third, second-round pick. Just how he plays and how he carries himself,â Washington said on a stream with Zachâs Tech Turf.
đ Russell Wilson is reportedly asking for $20-30 million per year, according to Tony Grossi of ESPN Cleveland.
đ Russell Wilson remains on the New York Giantsâ radar screen â even after the signing of Jameis Winston, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
âThey are as much/more looking for a veteran starter than the Browns, definitely more than Vikings,â Florio wrote.
Florio also said the Giants technically remain in the mix for Aaron Rodgers, but that it currently âseems unlikelyâ heâll go there.
đ Mike DeFabo of The Athletic has the Steelers selecting Michigan defensive tackle at 21st overall in his latest mock draft.
đ Former NFL offensive lineman Damien Woody believes Najee Harrisâ critical comments were an indirect shot at Mike Tomlin.
âI think itâs fair. I think itâs an indirect shot at Mike Tomlin, to be honest with you,â Woody said on ESPNâs First Take. âWhen you donât have a QB, you donât have an identity offensively. So, for a young guy coming in, youâre thinking, âOkay, who can I go to as a resource to see how this thing is done.â. As a running back, you want to be able to look on your side of the ball⊠Who do I look to? They didnât have anybody. I think indirectly, he was talking about Mike Tomlin.â
đ Cam Heyward doesnât believe he called out Aaron Rodgers on his podcast.
