The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially released right tackle Chukwuma Okorafor after announcing their intentions last Monday, according to the NFL transaction wire. Okorafor, 26, had been with the team since the Steelers drafted him in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Western Michigan. A native of Ibadan, Nigeria, Okorafor became a starter for the Steelers in the 2020 season, when he replaced an injured Zach Banner at right tackle in the season opener against the New York Giants. Okorafor started every game that season, and then when Banner was unable to return from his injury in…

Pittsburgh Steelers news: To say that Russell Wilson has not been able to live up to all the hype in his first two seasons with the Denver Broncos would be an understatement. This is exactly why there have now been widespread rumors about the nine-time Pro Bowler parting ways with Denver this summer. A number of teams have already been linked to a potential swoop on Wilson, but it appears that the Steelers are now in pole position to win the race. Pittsburgh Steelers Deemed as Likely Destination for Russell Wilson As reported by Michael David Smith of PFT, the…

When the Los Angeles Lakers acquired D’Angelo Russell last February, he came back to L.A. as an entirely different player. Russell was traded at 20-years-old and returned six years later as a mature point guard who experienced a lot. There were some off-the-court issues during Russell’s first tenure, but seeing his growth as a player and a person became evident in recent years. Now in a win-now environment led by Anthony Davis and LeBron James, the former No. 2 overall pick complements the two stars perfectly. Being traded from the Lakers to the Brooklyn Nets in 2017 played an instrumental…

The Lakers were among the primary talking points amidst all the NBA trade rumors this year. Much of the conversation surrounded a possible deal involving Dejounte Murray and D’Angelo Russell, but other names like Andre Drummond and Tyus Jones also popped up. In the end, the Lakers kept their roster as is as vice president and general manager Rob Pelinka showed a level of restraint by not making a move just to say he did. What do fans think, though? According to our latest SB Nation Reacts poll, the Lakers performed well by not performing at the trade deadline performance.…

Carmelo Anthony Reveals Trade With Nuggets That Almost Took Place In 2011 Originally posted on Lakers Nation | By Ron Gutterman | Last updated 2/20/24 The Carmelo Anthony saga at the end of his time with the Denver Nuggets was a story of league-wide interest for many years. He was made an enemy in Denver for many years after he was dealt to the New York Knicks at his request, but plenty went on behind the scenes that fans of the Nuggets and other teams would never have known about. One behind the scenes detail involved the Los Angeles Lakers.…

LeBron James is on the precipice of yet another historic milestone coming out of the NBA’s All-Star Break. The 39-year-old is only 132 points shy of 40,000 for his career. Averaging 24.8 points per game this season, James could reach the mark by the end of February, with the Los Angeles Lakers still having five games remaining this month.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were lucky to have 18 seasons of consistent quarterback play with Ben Roethlisberger under center. When he retired at the end of the 2021 season, it was obvious the team was going to be in a bit of a rebuilding period as they looked for their new quarterback. Then quickly into the start of the offseason, the Steelers signed Mitch Trubisky, who had been with the Buffalo Bills. In addition to Trubisky, they were able to draft quarterback Kenny Pickett out of the University of Pittsburgh with their first-round selection in 2022. From the start, it seemed…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have already gotten started on altering their roster and creating cap space by releasing a few players. Mitch Trubisky, Pressley Harvin, and Chukwuma Okorafor have all been recently cut by the team. None of those three players departing is much of a surprise, as Harvin and Trubisky both underperformed in 2023, and Okorafor found himself in trouble with the coaching staff after being benched against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The organization likely isn’t done making changes to their roster, and two veteran starters were both listed as likely to get cut. Steelers Likely To Cut Two Veterans Two…

The Pittsburgh Steelers are likely to make some move at quarterback, whether that is re-signing Mason Rudolph or going out and looking at another veteran. But former Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Johnson believes he already knows what is going to happen — and he predicts the team will sign soon-to-be former Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson. We gotta work on the Steelers now,” Johnson said on the Nightcap Show. “A little birdie told me, and I said this many shows ago, Russell Wilson’s coming on over to the Steelers.” Wilson was benched by the Broncos for the stretch run, after…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have to clear a lot of cap space this offseason. While they stand at about $5 million over the cap right now, they need to clear room out even to make some moves. But they likely have enough space and wiggle room to land one major contributor for the team. Could that be Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed? Sneed is a franchise tag candidate, but might not be tagged with Chris Jones’ contract coming up for the Chiefs. Pro Football Focus’ Brad Spielberger released his contract projections that have proven to be quite accurate in recent…
