It has been a quick fall from grace for the 28-year-old right-hander. He was expected to open the 2025 season as the team’s closer until a hamstring strain shelved him at the end of spring training. He then posted a miserable 12.00 ERA, 2.17 WHIP and a 3/5 K/BB ratio over six innings with the Reds before getting optioned to Triple-A Louisville. The Reds are expected to receive minor league right-hander Mike Villani in return from the Dodgers.

According to Schultz, “Pittsburgh is believed to be motivated to get a deal done at some point, though there’s still plenty of time before the season.” He also helpfully informs pick-needy teams that “the Steelers could have up to 12 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.” Perhaps, one or more are available in exchange for a capable pass catcher. The report curiously comes roughly three weeks after the Steelers traded George Pickens to the Cowboys, which seemingly created the issue at hand. Perhaps, the relationship was spoiled beyond repair. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported earlier today that the Steelers have spoken to the Dolphins about acquiring TE Jonnu Smith, who played under OC Arthur Smith with the Falcons in 2023. The Steelers desperately need a No. 2 wide receiver, but they are simply seeking a receiving weapon, regardless of position, they should be able to find a suitor.

Overshown is comparing his current recovery from a torn ACL, MCL and PCL to his torn ACL injury from the 2023 preseason. His timetable remains uncertain, though. Overshown adds that there is “no need to rush the process” and that he is “going to come back when [he is] 100%" ready to do so.

That’s a good sign for tight end Brock Bowers, who was selected first-team All-Pro as a rookie last season. In 2024, Bowers set an NFL rookie record for most receptions (112). He also established a new league benchmark for receiving yards by a rookie tight end (1,194), eclipsing the former record set by Hall of Famer Mike Ditka in 1961. Kelly also spoke about the possibility of playing both Bowers and fellow tight end Michael Mayer at the same time. The newest addition to the Raiders’ offense is running back Ashton Jeanty, who was the sixth overall pick in last month’s NFL Draft. “Ashton is talented a back ... as I’ve seen,” said Kelly during Thursday’s media session. “His ability to sustain runs after contact ... is a rare quality.”

Brown is an undrafted free agent rookie who spent two college seasons at West Virginia, two more at Houston, and his fifth and final season at Miami. While he is extremely unlikely to be relevant in re-draft formats, Packers wide receiver scouts have done a good job of finding depth players in recent seasons. He could be a name to know for deep dynasty leagues. The Packers waived DE Jeremiah Martin in a corresponding move.

McVay sang praises for both Williams and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. McVay also confirmed that Williams is participating in voluntary organized team activities, and celebrated Williams for his “great willingness to come out here to work.” Williams has worked harder than all but two NFL running backs over the last two full seasons, totaling 663 touches during that span. The figure trails only Saquon Barkley (770) and Derrick Henry (694). Unfortunately for Williams, that workload may be working against him at the negotiating table. Although he turns just 25 in August, the Rams may seek to keep an extension limited to two or three seasons. Williams is scheduled to hit free agency after this season.
