Adam Schefter of ESPN reported on Wednesday that veteran wide receiver Scotty Miller is signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a free agent. The Steelers are taking a flier on Miller with a one-year deal. Miller, 26, is best known for his stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2019-22. He was especially productive during the 2020 season, catching 33 passes for 501 yards and three touchdowns as the Bucs went on to win the Super Bowl that year. Miller is generally known for his speed and some ability as a deep threat (though he can struggle with drops and…
signal-caller found some issues against Russell Wilson and his ability to command certain aspects of the game. He outlined his frustration about the veteran’s teaching capability in his latest statement, via The QB School Live. “I am pulling for him. Can he make the necessary adjustments to speed up how he plays? To be able to deliver the ball with some level of anticipation? Now, is he going to learn from Russell? I don’t think so. I don’t think Russell Wilson plays with a bunch of anticipation,” the ex-49ers player said.
Some think Jerry Jones’ decision not to give him more weapons this season was a way to force him to prove his worth in a contract year, adding that he would let him walk away and hit the reset button if things don’t work out. Nonetheless, that’s not how VP of Player Personnel Will McClay feels.
Rashee Rice’s legal situation became more complicated Tuesday, as the 2023 second-round pick is under investigation for allegedly hitting a photographer at a Dallas club early Monday morning. No charges have been filed and he was not arrested, though it’s a concerning development for the Chiefs nonetheless. The number of free-agent wide receivers available is dwindling and while there are a few intriguing options left, Kansas City may be forced to make a trade if they want to acquire a receiver as insurance. If the organization wants to maximize its chances to win a third consecutive Super Bowl, which no team has ever done, Brett…
Zaniolo has still managed to accumulate 38 appearances under Unai Emery, however, notching three goals in all competitions, but has been plagued by injury in recent weeks. Despite some of the criticism surrounding the wide midfielder, who is capable of playing further forward, it appears that Emery is a fan of him and could be keen to keep him at the club. After the player’s agent’s recent comments, it certainly seems like Zaniolo has enjoyed his season in England, while an extended stay has been mooted.

PSV are champions of the Eredivisie. They didn’t just win the Dutch league, though – they ran away with the damn thing. From start to finish, the title always felt bound for Eindhoven, but now it’s official: for the first time in six years and the 25th time overall, the title is theirs. For American soccer fans, that’ll be particularly sweet. PSV turned themselves into the United States’ official Eredivisie team this summer by signing three U.S. men’s national team stars. Sergino Dest, Ricardo Pepi and Malik Tillman are all champions now. Ultimately, it all paid off. That’s worth celebrating, and…
If Adding a more traditional point guard via the draft would change the dynamic of the team to a large degree, even if that means drafting an experienced college player whose top end as a prospect is that of a career backup. Center versatility can come in many different forms after Nurkic was limited in the first-round sweep by the Minnesota Timberwolves and backup Drew Eubanks, who has a player option, was pushed out of the rotation by Game 4. Drafting a rim-rolling shot-blocker with high starting potential is the target with the 22nd overall pick — but also a…
Edmonton eliminated the Los Angeles Kings in five games in the first round while Vancouver defeated the Nashville Predators in six games. Here are the three reasons why the Oilers will win the series: 1. Too much firepower Both teams had impressive offenses during the regular season, with the Oilers only scoring 15 more goals — 294 to the Canucks’ 279. No offense to Vancouver’s top scorers, J.T. Miller, defenseman Quinn Hughes, Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser, but come on. We’re talking about Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl and neither of them led the team in goals against the Kings.…
