Steelers Unlikely To Pursue Jameis Winston
The Pittsburgh Steelers are unlikely to pursue free-agent quarterback Jameis Winston as a backup for Ben Roethlisberger in 2020.

Winston led the league with 5,109 passing yards […]

Jadeveon Clowney Considering Short-Term Deals
Free-agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is considering short-term deals after he's encountered a very cold market in free agency.

The Browns have […]

The Detroit Lions, who have the No. 3 overall pick in this month's draft, have had discussions with teams about potentially moving back from their slot, according to sources.

Desmond King A Trade Candidate?
There's a chance that the Los Angeles Chargers look to trade cornerback Desmond King. King is seemingly a man without a position now that the Bolts signed Chris Harris Jr. to defend the slot in the middle of the field in 2020. Casey Hayward and Michael Davis can work on the outside, so it remains […]

Nyheim Hines Could Be More Involved In Offense
Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines is expected to get "plenty more action" in the offense this season, in the opinion of The Athletic's Zak Keefer.
