Now, it’s no surprise to see Edmonton trying to get the most out of what they paid for, especially with both Henrique and Carrick set to become unrestricted free agents this summer. But Henrique is 34 and Carrick 32, likely limiting any contract negotiations to the short-term. That’ll be a change of pace for the veteran Henrique, who’s had just three contracts across his 14-year NHL career. What’s more, he’ll be roughly one full season away from his 1,000th game in the NHL when this season ends – meaning wherever Henrique signs next is likely where he achieves that tremendous…
Tre Poteat has been high on Tennessee since getting a scholarship offer from the Vols more than six months ago, and his first trip to Knoxville in November made him like them even more. Since then, they have continued to climb even higher among the top contenders for him. The Class of 2025 cornerback from Verona Area High School in Verona, Wis., said Tennessee now is in the “number-one spot” among the more than 20 schools pursuing him, and the Vols recently became the first team to finalize plans for hosting him on an official visit. He said he’s…
Former Michigan linebacker Devin Bush Jr. is headed back to the AFC North. The No. 10 overall pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019 has agreed to a one-year deal with the Cleveland Browns, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Thursday. The Steelers declined the fifth-year option on Bush in 2022, and the 5-foot-11, 236-pounder signed a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks last offseason worth $3.5 million. He played the lowest percentage of snaps in his career at 27%, finishing with 37 tackles, including five for loss, in 13 games (three starts). Bush’s career got off to a promising start, recording…

Andy Walker acknowledges that Celtic’s loaned-out star Mikey Johnston is doing well at West Brom, but he thinks that not many Bhoys fans would want him back. Johnston, who played a bit part role in the first half of the season for Celtic, went out on loan to join West Brom in the hope of regular game time. The Celtic academy product has been brilliant since his arrival at the Hawthorns, scoring six times in his nine league games. When discussing the young players having a difficult time establishing themselves in the Celtic first-team, Walker said on Go Radio…

The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently set to pay cornerback Donte Jackson $10.5 million in the 2024 season after acquiring him from the Carolina Panthers. That’s a big chunk of change for a player that is largely considered to be an average-at-best starting cornerback at 28 years old. It also appears to be well above the market value for a player of his ilk. PFF grades aren’t a be-all, end-all, but they’re a decent proxy for player performance. Jackson was rated a 64.3 overall last season, the No. 63 cornerback in the NFL. He’s the 17th-highest-paid cornerback. It’s been expected since the Steelers…
ALLEN PARK — Anthony Pittman has played 1,117 special teams snaps since making it with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted rookie out of Wayne State in 2019. But the linebacker and special teams ace is reportedly heading to the the Washington Commanders after not being tendered by the Lions. Pittman was a restricted free agent who the Lions let walk into unrestricted free agency. The Detroit Free Press reported last week that there was interest in re-signing Pittman after the non-tendering decision. Other Lions players who were not tendered new deals and are free to sign elsewhere are…
We haven’t touched on the NFL draft status of J.J. McCarthy in a few days but his stock is soaring. Last week, he was even projected as a top-three pick to the New England Patriots. Mel Kiper Jr., a long-time ESPN NFL draft analyst also said on a podcast that McCarthy is in the mix to overtake Drake Maye for the No. 3 quarterback. Kiper sees Jayden Daniels as the second-best quarterback but the former Michigan football quarterback is making a strong case to be a top-three pick. I think the Chicago Bears should consider him No. 1…
