The Pittsburgh Steelers get “first dibs” on the only quarterback they’re known to have “expressed interest” in. And as more and more reports emerge, it’s becoming somewhat clear what side the noise is coming from – and what quarterback is being talked about more. So far, Steelers fans have sat around waiting for any noise about Justin Fields. There have been plenty of reports, even some coming from Steelers On SI, that have made it clear the belief is Fields is Pittsburgh’s top choice. But there’s constant noise coming from the Russell Wilson side, and that noise always makes it…
With the sentiment that running backs aren’t worth paying quickly eroding, Najee Harris could cash out upon reaching free agency as his rookie contract expires with the Pittsburgh Steelers. A 2021 first-round pick out of Alabama, Harris has crossed the 1,000-rushing yard plateau in each of his four NFL seasons to date. This past year, he picked up 1,043 yards and six touchdowns on 263 carries while appearing in all 17 games for Pittsburgh. Since entering the league, the 26-year-old has posted the fifth-most yards in the league with 4,312 on 1,097 attempts, ranking behind only Derrick Henry in the…
wasn’t just hope that things were about to change. Within days, they did — and in some ways haven’t stopped. We learned a year ago this week that a group led by Baltimore-born billionaire David Rubenstein was buying the Orioles from the Angelos family and, presumably, adding a meaningful catalyst — money — to what had been a deliberate but successful effort by Mike Elias and his team to rebuild the club into an on-field contender. Related or not, Elias signaled the new era by acquiring ace Corbin Burnes later that week. Rubenstein didn’t officially take over for a few…
Franco Baresi has admitted that AC Milan feel some regret at even being in the Champions League play-off round, but they are happy to avoid Juventus. Going into the final game of the first phase on Wednesday, Milan had a quite simple task: beat Dinamo Zagreb to secure direct passage to the last 16 without having to go through a play-off to qualify. However, disaster struck as they lost 2-1 in the Croatian capital, thus meaning they must now face off against Feyenoord over two legs next month. If they were to get through, Inter or Arsenal await the Rossoneri…
AC Milan have completed the signing of Santiago Gimenez, and the Mexican striker has confirmed that a deal is done on X this morning. The Mexican striker is a huge statement of intent from Milan after a mistake-ridden season so far, and their persistence in the deal for the Feyenoord star is a sign, perhaps, of the club’s intentions to return to the elite levels of European football. A deal was wrapped up this morning, and the striker will travel to Milano today, with the striker confirming everything was done on a ‘dream’ move to the Rossoneri with a simple…
AC Milan suffered their second defeat of the Sergio Conceicao era against Dinamo Zagreb, and it couldn’t have come at a worse moment. Dinamo went ahead in the first half after a slip from Matteo Gabbia allowed Martin Baturina to seize possession and slot under Mike Maignan, and then Yunus Musah was sent off after two yellow cards to make matters worse. Christian Pulisic got an equaliser early in the second half with an impressive low shot, yet parity was short lived as Marko Pjaca restored the lead for the home side, one that they would see out in the…
Andriy Shevchenko has shared his honest thoughts on the difficult season that AC Milan are having, citing issues that neither coach have managed to correct. It has been a strange season already for Milan, who began with Paulo Fonseca at the helm before he was sacked before the calendar year had even handed, with the team struggling above all in Serie A. Sergio Conceicao took over and managed to bring silverware after just two games, lifting the Supercoppa Italiana in Saudi Arabia, though the mood around the team is still not entirely positive. In fact, there is already talk of…
Although it’s still January, Barça’s sports management has a very clear plan for signings for next summer. The club, with the aim of improving the team for Hansi Flick, has several priorities in mind. The first of these is to strengthen the winger positions, looking for a player who brings quality and competition on the flank. Additionally, the defense is also on the board’s radar, with the intention of signing a center-back and a right-back. These latter positions, however, are clearly behind the main goal, which is signing a standout winger. Rafa Leão, Laporta’s obsession The major signing that Barça…
Joao Felix’s name has been on the radar of AC Milan this window, and despite things going quiet recently, the track may have reopened. With a move for Marcus Rashford looking less likely, Milan turned their attention to the situation of Felix, but with Chelsea not in favour of a loan move, things went quiet. One of the stumbling blocks for a deal was the amount of loans that Chelsea could have, but Cesare Casadei is close to a permanent move to Torino, which could allow Felix to leave, one would assume. Whether the Rossoneri pursue the deal is another…
The Gimenez saga has gone on uncomfortably long, and for some, it has probably brought back flashbacks of the Joshua Zirkzee deal in the summer. Despite the player’s wishes, Milan fell at the financial block, but this has not occurred this time around. Instead, the club have managed to conclude a deal at the price requested by the Dutch outfit, an immensely commendable task. As confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, Feyenoord have accepted a bid from the Rossoneri this morning, worth more than €35 million, including bonuses. The Dutch outfit will also retain an interest in the striker’s future, with ‘an…
