NFL insider believes Steelers are moving on from Russell Wilson

According to Jay Glazer, Russell Wilson is not returning to the Steelers.

According to NFL reporter Jay Glazer, the Pittsburgh Steelers will not pursue quarterback Russell Wilson and attempt to re-sign him during free agency.

The Steelers brought in Wilson along with Justin Fields last offseason in hopes of turning the Steelers offense around after the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger. Unfortunately, it was more of the same with the Steelers finishing 9-7 last season and getting bounced in the first round of the playoffs.

Dan Quinn: Difficult times brought the Commanders closer

Dan Quinn believes tough times brought Commanders closer together.

Everyone is in a great mood when your team is winning. As the old saying goes, “Winning cures everything.”

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn was asked what the three-game losing streak might have taught his team in 2024.

Quinn thought back to training camp and FOX NFL Insider Jay Glazer standing before the Washington Commanders, speaking on “mental health.”

“One thing that stood out to me in that talk on that day, Quinn said. ‘There’s 90 therapists in here.’ And he was referring to all the teammates. And when you’re going, which leads me to this: when you’re going through the tough spaces, who do you lean on?”

Glazer was right. We are all humans, fragile humans often. There are wins in life, there are losses in life. You will lose… and often. How will you handle it? What will be your anchor in life?

Quinn continued, “The guys you’re right next to, the guys that are in the room, there’s not an answer that’s going to come from outside. It’s about the group getting tighter and tighter. And you’ve also seen on those moments where it fractures and goes the other way.”

Quinn is correct; it does go hard the other way sometimes. This season, the Bears, after the Hail Mary loss to Washington, lost ten consecutive games, finishing 2024 at 5-12.

The Commanders also suffered a three-game losing streak, losing to the Steelers 28-27, the Eagles 26-18, and the Cowboys 34-26.

“So I think every once in a while, whether it’s a situation like that or where it can go either way, and you choose to bring it in tighter and talk about it and have conversations about what are we going to do improve. What are the things we need to do? That to me is a really big deal and the team has gotten closer and tighter because of going through the hard stuff together.”

 

Terry Bradshaw says Steelers were wrong to move on from Kenny Pickett

Terry Bradshaw believes the Pittsburgh Steelers made a mistake moving on from Kenny Pickett, sparking debate over the team’s decision.

The Pittsburgh Steelers had no choice but to move on from Kenny Pickett…right?

Although the former Steelers QB requested a trade following the Russell Wilson signing, some have argued that Pickett was a bust after two failed years in the Black and Gold. However, one legendary quarterback—one with four Super Bowl victories to his name—believes the team should never have moved on from Pickett.

Former Steelers QB Terry Bradshaw, now a Fox analyst, made this bold statement while discussing the Eagles-Cowboys Week 17 matchup with fellow analyst Jay Glazer: “They [Steelers] should have never gotten rid of Pickett.”

While fans may be quick to remind the legendary quarterback of Pickett’s reported trade request during the 2024 offseason, one could argue that Kenny saw the writing on the wall within the Steelers organization.

Wilson has provided the Pittsburgh Steelers with a veteran presence and a breath of fresh air, but questions still remain about who will be the Black and Gold’s future signal-caller in 2025 and beyond.

Jay Glazer fiercely defends Michael Strahan from national anthem ‘controversy’ with long post

Jay Glazer really nailed it with the silly Michael Strahan controversy.

Jay Glazer made sure to defend Michael Strahan from the absurd criticism of the Hall of Famer and fellow Fox NFL Sunday star after the son of an Army major who grew up on a base in Germany didn’t put his hand over his heart during the national anthem on Sunday.

“Let me tell you this, I don’t know if I have a friend who is more proud of his military roots than Michael, growing up on an army base constantly talking about what he learned from his dad Major Gene Strahan and how his time there shaped him. I heard it CONSTANTLY, still do!” Glazer wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

He went on to say that people should “ASK him if he’s protesting something,” and he’s right, while also pointing out Strahan’s work with veterans.

Glazer really nailed it.

Jay Glazer reports Taysom Hill is dealing with a bruised lung

FOX Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer reports New Orleans Saints do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill is dealing with a bruised lung:

Here’s some clarity on Taysom Hill’s chest injury. FOX Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer reported Sunday that the New Orleans Saints’ do-it-all tight end is dealing with a bruised lung. Hill had been limited at practice with a chest injury which he suffered last Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.

Hill was listed as questionable for this week’s game with the Philadelphia Eagles but the team chose to hold him out.

Glazer added that Hill still had some minor breathing issues which ultimately led to this decision. He quoted Dennis Allen on Hill’s absence as, “No one who can replace Taysom Hill” which meant there needs to be a collective effort in order to fulfill his special role in this offense.

Report: Panthers rebuffed 4 teams with trade interest in QB Bryce Young

According to FOX’s Jay Glazer, four teams have contacted the Panthers about the potential availability of QB Bryce Young.

NFL insider Jay Glazer provided a little more detail about the current state of the relationship between the Carolina Panthers and Bryce Young.

On today’s episode of FOX NFL Sunday, Glazer reported that four teams contacted the Panthers to inquire about a possible trade for the struggling second-year quarterback. He added that Carolina, in turn, rebuffed all four of those advances . . .

Glazer’s information comes off the heels of a similar report from ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter. Schefter, on Saturday night, wrote that Young has drawn the interest of “several teams” following his benching earlier this week.

Like Glazer, Schefter noted that the organization is not looking to trade away the 2023 No. 1 overall pick. Head coach Dave Canales told reporters the same on Tuesday.

“Yeah, that’s not something we’re really considering,” Canales said of the trade speculation surrounding Young. “We have a great situation with our quarterbacks right now, with guys that have experience. So, we love where we’re at.”

Young was benched after Carolina got off to a disappointing 0-2 start. He passed for just 245 yards and three interceptions between the pair of outings.

14th-year veteran Andy Dalton will be under center for the team’s Week 3 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders later this afternoon.

Dan Campbell gets a rude awakening after the Lions loss in Dallas

Dan Campbell gets a rude awakening after the Lions loss in Dallas from some contractors at his home

The Detroit Lions lost an emotionally intense game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday night. Head coach Dan Campbell was furious after a controversial officiating call cost his Lions a potential win.

He was apparently also upset once he got home. The Lions flew back to Detroit overnight, but Campbell got no rest. As told by FOX’s Jay Glazer, someone messed with Campbell on Sunday morning, too.

“Somebody gave his address out and sent a bunch of contractors to his house early in the morning to fix his garage and his driveway,” Glazer said after talking to Campbell.

It’s a bizarre situation, no doubt. Finding contractors to work outside on a Sunday morning in near-freezing temperatures and light rain, on New Year’s Eve no less, couldn’t have been an easy undertaking.

Jay Glazer says Commanders will trade ‘at least’ one defensive lineman before deadline

Glazer expects one of Allen, Young, or Sweat to be moved.

It could be a busy week for the Washington Commanders. The NFL trade deadline is on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET. The rumors are swirling that the Commanders could be sellers ahead of the deadline. The players Washington has received the most inquiries on, at least that we know of, are defensive lineman Jonathan Allen, Chase Young and Montez Sweat.

According to NFL insider Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, at least one of Washington’s four star defensive linemen will be moved.

“So Washington, they have three defensive linemen,” Glazer said. “Jonathan Allen came out this past week and said he wants out of Washington, pretty much.”

First, let’s be clear with all due respect to Glazer: Allen never said that. He was frustrated, which he expressed after the game and the day after on his weekly appearance with the “Sports Junkies.”

“Look, there is rumors out there that the Chicago Bears have a deal for Chase Young; that is not true,” Glazer continued. “I don’t even think that one is going to happen. But I will tell you this: there’s a lot of teams that called Washington for all three of those players. At least one of those D-Linemen will get moved this week. And they’re looking Chase Young, a two-plus (2nd-round pick and more), three-plus (3rd-round pick and more), something along those lines. But, so somebody is going to get one of those players.”

Here’s the full exchange:

Glazer is one of the NFL’s more respected insiders, but Adam Schefter of ESPN said Saturday that Allen would not be moved.

The Commanders also received trade inquiries on Jonathan Allen after the defensive tackle’s postgame eruption after last Sunday’s loss to the New York Giants, but Washington said it is not willing to deal him and wouldn’t even have the conversation with other teams, according to sources.

The biggest question is, should Sunday’s outcome change Washington’s plans? If you’re clear this version of the Commanders isn’t a championship team, then you should look for value for any players on existing contracts.

Buckle up.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, Ravens making major progress on long-term agreement

It is being reported that a deal between the Ravens and Lamar Jackson could happen very soon.

Tonight is the first night of the 2023 NFL Draft, and the Baltimore Ravens have the 22nd overall pick.  The team only has five picks, with none in the second round as of now.  With all that going on, the Lamar Jackson contract situation is still up in the air.

It is now being reported by Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, that major progress has been made between Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.  He is saying that a deal could be done very soon, without any hiccups.  This is all good news for the NFL, Lamar Jackson, and the Ravens organization.

The quarterback situation would now be solidified, and the team would be able to make addition moves with the potential of gaining more cap space whenever the dollar amount is reveal, when a deal is signed.

Commanders’ sale expected ‘sooner than later’

Jay Glazer is one of the NFL’s most plugged-in reporters.

Every week that the Washington Commanders aren’t sold, worry begins to creep into the minds of the team’s longtime fans.

Earlier this month, multiple reports — one from Front Office Sports and one from JP Finlay — said a sale is expected soon.

With Super Bowl LVII approaching, you probably will not hear a lot regarding the sale of Washington over the next two weeks. The NFL likes to keep the focus squarely on the big game, especially next week.

However, on Sunday, Jay Glazer of FOX Sports was answering fan questions and, no surprise, one of the questions posed to Glazer was regarding the sale of the Commanders. Remember, Glazer was the first one back in November to report a timeline for a potential Washington sale.

What was Glazer’s latest regarding a Commanders’ sale?

“Sooner than later,” Glazer said. “This whole time, they’ve wanted to get something done where they could basically vote on it at March NFL owner’s meetings. Where all the owners could vote. And after it becomes official, the sale has to be agreed on before that. So the latest you’re looking at is the end of March.”

Nothing new there. It’s along the lines of what Finlay said two weeks ago. While Washington would prefer things happen before the start of the new league year on March 15, that always seemed a bit too optimistic.

Glazer is one of the more respected NFL reporters, and he’s always maintained this timeline, which bodes well for the sale to become official in March.
