Heading into the 2024 NFL offseason, it seems like Russell Wilson is going to have some options to choose from for where he’ll play next season. One of those is the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Denver Broncos benched Wilson for the last two weeks of the 2023 season, seemingly signaling the end of his time with the team. Meanwhile, the Steelers were one of the many teams in the league who didn’t have things play out the way they expected at QB during the season. That could make the two a good match for each other. Bleacher…

t’s been almost a full month since Detroit Lions edge rusher James Houston returned to practice after fracturing his ankle in the team’s Week 2 contest. Despite practicing for the first time on December 28 and being activated to the 53-man roster last week, Houston has yet to make a game appearance since his injury. However, that could be coming very, very soon. “I think he’s very close,” Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn said on Thursday, ahead of the team’s NFC Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers. The Lions have been taking Houston along slowly for…
The Pittsburgh Steelers could find themselves caught in the middle in the quarterback market this offseason. Big-named signal callers such as Kirk Cousins and Russell Wilson will be an upgrade over Kenny Pickett. However, the Steelers are searching for competition for Pickett, not a veteran who will automatically send him to the bench. Other free agent options, though, such as Tyrod Taylor and Marcus Mariota may not be much competition at all. One free agent quarterback who could both compete with Pickett but not demand the starting job is veteran Ryan Tannehill. Bleacher Report’s Maurice Moton…
The Lions have a puncher’s chance to beat the 49ers this Sunday because they’re a good team, but the 49ers absolutely should win because they’re better than Detroit practically across the board. Let’s start on defense. The Lions run defense is good, but their pass rush is not — they rank 22nd out of 32 teams in sack percentage. Which means their pass defense is terrible. They have to blitz to generate pressure, their defensive backs take big gambles and give up big plays, and that’s why Detroit ranks 27th in passing yards allowed and 27th in touchdown passes…
In Week 8, the Denver Broncos ended its 16-game losing streak to the Kansas City Chiefs in a dominant 24-9 win. While the Broncos finished third in the AFC West behind the Chiefs, the upset was a step in the right direction. Head coach Sean Payton has a ways to go before Denver overtakes Kansas City for the division crown. Would snatching one of its top defenders do the trick? Lou Scataglia of Predominantly Orange believes the Broncos signing All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones might help Denver leapfrog the Chiefs in 2024. Frankly, I think Jones is…
As the Chicago Bears look to bolster their roster in the offseason, they could revisit their interest in a player that they looked at before making a trade for Montez Sweat. To recall, ahead of the 2023 NFL Trade Deadline, the Bears expressed interest in trading for then Washington Commanders pass-rusher Chase Young. However, it was Sweat who ended up going to Chicago while Young was sent to the San Francisco 49ers. With Young set to be an unrestricted free agent as his four-year, $34.6 million contract ends, the Bears could make a run for him. Jeremy…
