Jaguars safety Andrew Wingard intercepted Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky in a Week 8 Jacksonville victory.…
Pascal Siakam is expected to be traded ahead of the Feb. 8 trade deadline. The two-time All-NBA forward is in the final few months of his current four-year, $136.9 million contract. He will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. As such, the Toronto Raptors have three choices: trade him, re-sign him, or lose him for nothing in the summer.
