Steelers general manager Omar Khan echoed Rooney while speaking with reporters at the NFL combine on Tuesday. 

One two of the hottest seats in the NFL, Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll are carrying a quarterback depth chart without any names. While Tommy DeVito is expected to be tendered as an ERFA and retained, the Giants’ pursuit of a starter — and perhaps a backup — will define

As free agency approaches, the Steelers have yet to sort out their quarterback situation. When speaking to the media on Tuesday, general manager Omar Khan said finding clarity under center is the team’s top priority.

A Pittsburgh Steelers reporter and columnist are among noteworthy members of the NFL community who believe the team will ultimately re-sign current starting quarterback Russell Wilson.

If you can’t beat it, ban it.

On Monday, several media outlets reported that an unspecified team

With Matthew Stafford potentially available and the Steelers in desperate need of a quarterback upgrade, many are connecting the dots.  And while Stafford would be a significant improvement from what Pittsburgh has had under center in recent years, there are two sides to the debate about whether the Steelers should

Whispers surfaced in November long before the Cleveland Browns ended the 2024 season with a record of 3-14 that team owner Jimmy Haslam could part ways with head coach Kevin Stefanski this winter.

A former fourth-round pick by the Jaguars, Bartch got into 41 games across three-plus seasons in Jacksonville. He landed with the 49ers midway through the 2023

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders reportedly won’t work out at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, which starts Thursday. One draft expert isn’t a fan of that choice.

The Titans have made it clear that they’re willing to move back from the No. 1 pick, but there could be a better chance that the No. 2 pick is ultimately moved. According to Josina Anderson of Bovada, the Browns are “most willing to listen” to offers among teams in

The Falcons might have thrown away a valuable 2025 draft pick. On Monday, Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s D.

While a recent report indicated that the Raiders were focused on Shedeur Sanders, the Colorado QB may not truly be the organization’s top choice at the position. According to Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda, there’s a general belief around the NFL that the Raiders are a prime contender to move up

The Tennessee Titans would be foolish if they didn’t consider taking Penn State edge-rusher Abdul Carter with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. In a piece published Monday, The Ringer’s Todd McShay told Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer Carter (6-foot-3, 250 pounds) is his No. 1 player
