Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes got 19 minutes on the court on Tuesday night against the Toronto Raptors, as L.A. won in blowout fashion and the team’s stars got to rest for a majority of the fourth quarter. In that fourth quarter, Hayes got the chance to put together a highlight reel moment when he threw down an Eastbay dunk — going between the legs with the ball — on a one-man fastbreak. Hayes got out ahead of the Raptors defense and received a perfect cross-court pass from Taurean Prince. After catching the ball at around the free throw…

After three seasons with the Chicago Bears, quarterback Justin Fields is now a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was recently traded to the Steel City after the Bears nabbed the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft following last year’s big trade with the Carolina Panthers, and it is hoped that this will mark a new beginning for him. Dov Kleiman posted a photo of Fields wearing Steelers gear just days after his arrival.

Former USC WR Tahj Washington is planning to come to Pittsburgh for a Top 30 visit, per source. At 5-10, 174 pounds, he’s a good route-running slot many see as a Day 3 prospect. Willing blocker/ great toughness, which adds value on ST, especially with the new kickoff rules. — Mike DeFabo (@MikeDeFabo) April 2, 2024 Washington participated in the 2024 East-West Shrine Bowl, and during his time there he talked to Steelers Depot about learning from current Steelers WR Calvin Austin III at Memphis, where he started his college career before transferring to USC. “That would definitely be cool,”…

op three needs: OL, RB, LB. The Cowboys lost left tackle Tyron Smith and center Tyler Biadasz in free agency and could use ready-made starters at either position. Same goes at running back with Tony Pollard leaving for Tennessee, meaning the Cowboys’ leading returning rusher is Rico Dowdle, who had 361 yards in 2023. Linebacker was the final need listed over defensive tackle, even though the Cowboys added Eric Kendricks in free agency. DeMarvion Overshown is coming off a torn ACL, and while there are positive reports of his recovery, he has yet to play a down in an NFL…

As the 2024 NFL Draft draws closer and closer, the biggest needs for the Pittsburgh Steelers are becoming much clearer, as are the positions and players that they seem set to target, especially early in the draft. Offensive tackle, center, and wide receiver are seemingly at the top of the list, making things a bit easier for draft analysts to try and peg players for the Black and Gold. For ESPN’s Field Yates, who dropped his latest mock draft Wednesday morning, the two needs he addressed first were center and wide receiver in his two-round mock draft. At No. 20…

Getty Steelers Now’s Nikc Farabaugh proposed Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers could be interested in adding another quarterback to their 2024 roster. The Pittsburgh Steelers have completely transformed their quarterback room. But they may not be done adding to the position. At least that’s what Steelers Now’s Nick Farabaugh proposed on April 1. “If you know anything about the Steelers, they love to go into training camp with four quarterbacks,” Farabaugh wrote. “And it seems like they could add someone else.” The Steelers will host Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who is a potential first-round pick, for a pre-draft…

T.J. Watt will enter his eighth season with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. He’s made the Pro Bowl every year but his first, won Defensive Player of the Year in 2021, and has the most sacks of any Steeler in team history. He has solidified his place as one of the best defensive players in today’s NFL, and if Watt were to retire today, he is likely a Hall of Famer. His play in 2024 and onward will determine if he becomes an NFL legend. As interesting, at least for Steelers fans, is where T.J. Watt will stand compared to…

The Pittsburgh Steelers made the unsurprising move this offseason to release veteran center Mason Cole after his third NFL season. While the move cleared extra $4.75 million in cap space in a step toward their newly reimagined offensive line, it did leave a massive, gaping hole on the depth chart. Currently, the Steelers do not have a true center under contract at all, let alone a viable starting option. The free agent market has dried up entirely — a good one, in which several experienced centers were available, including Lloyd Cushenberry, Mitch Morse, Aaron Brewer and Tyler Biadasz, among others.…

Over the last eight months, four teams have given up on a former first-round quarterback and traded them away for late-round draft capital. The Dallas Cowboys were the first team to trade for such a player when they gave up this year’s fourth-round draft pick to the San Francisco 49ers for the rights to Trey Lance in August of last year. Over the last month, three more former first-round quarterbacks have been traded away and the price seems to get lower and lower. It’s hard to say what each team’s intentions are for them to make such deals. Some are…

With the information currently available, including pre-draft visits, reported interest at pro days, and formal meetings at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, Georgia OT Amarius Mims seems like one of the leading candidates to be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. He checks a lot of boxes being just 21 years old, measuring at the Combine to be 6076, 340 pounds, with 36 1/8-inch arms, and he comes from a Power Five conference, but he is lacking experience that you typically see with first-round picks. His eight college starts make Broderick Jones from last year’s draft…
