Breaking news: Lions sign in Steleers veteran standout WR in a blockbuster deal.
Allen Robinson, the veteran wide receiver, has already found a new home one day after being cut by the New York Giants. The former Pittsburgh Steelers playmaker, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com, has joined the Detroit Lions practice squad. The 31-year-old played in all 17 games during his tenure with the Steelers last season, racking up 280 yards on 34 receptions. The former Penn State player selected in the second round has had difficulty in the last three seasons regaining the form that allowed him to rush for over 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons (2019–20) with the Chicago Bears.
He will also have the chance to earn a spot on Detroit’s 53-man roster, even if he won’t start there.
In spite of the adage, you have none if you have more than one quarterback. Four signal-callers were retained by the Cleveland Browns on their first 53-man roster.
That was in spite of a previous rumor that stated the opponent of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North was willing to take calls regarding both of their experienced backups, Tyler Huntley and Jameis Winston. Given that no deal was completed by Tuesday’s 4 p.m. deadline, it is unclear why Cleveland feels the need to carry four quarterbacks at this time. “Our four quarterbacks are good,” stated Kevin Stefanski, the coach, on Tuesday. “Simply.” “Simply?” The Browns may have made a straightforward decision, but it doesn’t appear to be for the one Stefanski provided the public. The Browns are choosing to wait for a deal rather than cutting them and receiving nothing, as it appears that the trade had not been completed in time for the deadline.
Star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb signed a new contract on Monday at the Dallas Cowboys facility after a weeks-long holdout from training camp. The two parties reached a consensus on Monday following nearly a month of waiting and even some oblique back and forth between Lamb and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Lamb reportedly agreed to a $136 million, four-year contract with an average yearly value of $34 million. He rose to become the second-highest paid non-quarterback in the league. In terms of money, only Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, a receiver, is worth more than him.
In Week 5, the Pittsburgh Steelers will play “Sunday Night Football” on NBC against the Cowboys and Lamb. August 26th – FINAL DAY Martavis Bryant, a former wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, had a difficult journey back to the NFL. The once-promising career of the current Washington Commander was derailed by a six-year suspension for several violations of the NFL’s drug rules. But even after the protracted hiatus, he’s still aiming for an NFL return. As a result, on Sunday, in the 20–12 Commanders preseason victory over the New England Patriots, Bryant scored his first touchdown since being restored.
