His rookie season wasn’t anything close to what cornerback Cory Trice Jr. anticipated, spending the entire year on the Reserve/Injured list after the promising cornerback was injured in training camp. Trice, who was selected by the Steelers in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft, the 241st overall pick, was a player the coaching staff was excited about right out of the gate. “He played a lot of press coverage and that’s huge,” said secondary coach Grady Brown following the draft. “Just the way that he plays press, being able to go down and not play a…
Yesterday afternoon, it was announced that the Edmonton Oilers signed goalie Connor Ungar to a two year entry-level contract. The 22 year old Calgary native had 26 starts for Brock University in the OUAA this season, posting a 20-6 record with a .932 SV% and 2.15 GAA. In 6 Playoffs games with the Badgers, he posted a .928 SV% and 2.33 GAA. Edmonton’s goaltending pipeline has been pretty busy these last couple of years.

The Detroit Lions Should Sign Kevin Zeitler for the 2024 season With the departure of starting left guard Jonah Jackson to the Los Angeles Rams, the Detroit Lions are in need of a suitable replacement to maintain the strength of their offensive line. While the Lions have made commendable additions in free agency, there’s a glaring gap at the left guard position that needs to be addressed before the 2024 season kicks off. Kevin Zeitler In my opinion, the Lions should target Pro Bowl guard Kevin Zeitler, formerly of the Baltimore Ravens. Zeitler, who entered the NFL as the No. 27 overall pick in the 2012…
The Chicago Bears are locked into a quarterback with the top pick in the NFL draft after trading Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the team must also consider the backup position. Caleb Williams of USC is likely to end up the man in Chicago, both as the first name off the board in April and probably as the starter come Week 1. But the Bears are now primed to add a veteran signal-caller to help guide Williams through his transition to the league and offer a support system, as well as a legitimate alternative should the rookie suffer a setback — injury-related or…
Tennessee Volunteers inside linebacker Edwin Spillman has officially enrolled at the University of Tennessee and joined practices. Lipscomb Academy linebacker Edwin Spillmanwas one of the Vols’ top priorities in the 2024 signing period. Tennessee wanted to lock down its state borders, and national powers called after him. However, he signed his national letter of intent with Tennessee and is now officially on campus after finishing his high school career.

The Chicago Bears finally pulled the trigger on a Justin Fields trade Saturday by sending the quarterback to the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the Steelers, who only gave up a conditional 2025 sixth-round pick in the deal, got the prize they wanted, they reportedly weren’t the only team looking to acquire Fields. But it seems Fields didn’t want to go anywhere else besides for Pittsburgh and the Bears made sure that happened. “Important note on the Justin Fields trade: At least four additional teams inquired about trading for Fields, but Fields’ representation asked for him not to be traded there,” NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport…
