The Phoenix Suns are interested in a package deal for Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards and forward Miles Bridges, according to two sources familiar with the situation. Bridges, who is in the middle of a domestic violence case, is someone the Suns covet. He is 25 years old, 6-foot-7 and has potential to fill a “3-and-D” void the Suns need. Richards, who is reportedly not a target for the Suns, has the potential to fill a backup center role. ClutchPoints reported the Suns’ interest in Richards, though the report is under question by Arizona Sports’ 98.7 FM’s John…

Austin has been a defensive coordinator in the NFL for seven of the last 10 years. Before earning a coordinator position, Austin spent 23 years at the college level or coaching defensive backs for the Seahawks, Cardinals, and Ravens. The Steelers surpassed expectations this season, making the playoffs despite scoring the fifth-least number of points in the NFL and the eighth-least amount of yards. The reason for that may well be due to the work done by second-year defensive coordinator Teryl Austin and his defensive unit. Seemingly happy with what they’ve seen so far, Pittsburgh is working to finalize…

As a result, Seattle may go in search of a younger option, and if the Bears decide to put Fields up for trade, he…

The Steelers’ effort to add their next offensive coordinator is underway. First up will be a recent OC who no longer appears in his team’s plans; Thomas Brown is interviewing for the job Wednesday, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
