Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro defensive tackle Cam Heyward is frustrated with the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the team’s quarterback situation for 2025. On the latest episode of his podcast, Heyward expressed his desire for a resolution, saying he’s “tired of talking about the quarterback situation” and ready to move past free agency. With the Steelers reportedly pursuing Aaron Rodgers, Heyward offered a straightforward stance when asked about recruiting the four-time MVP. “I ain’t doing that darkness retreat. I don’t need any of that crap,” Heyward said, referencing Rodgers’ well-publicized retreat before he joined the Jets two years ago. “Either you want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler or you don’t. That’s simple. That’s the pitch. If you want me to recruit, that’s the recruiting pitch. Pittsburgh Steelers. If you want to be part of it, so be it. If you don’t, no skin off my back.”

Brandon Graham, who played a major role in both of Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl victories, announced his retirement on Tuesday after 15 seasons. Reflecting on his journey, Graham expressed gratitude to the city of Philadelphia for its support through struggles and triumphs. He said, “This game has changed my life, but more importantly this city has changed my life. It has given me a purpose far beyond football. It has shown me what it means to be a leader, a friend, a man of faith and integrity. While my time on the field is coming to an end, my love for this team and city will never fade. Philadelphia and everybody from the bottom of my heart, I just want to thank y’all. E-A-G-L-E-S. Eagles! Fly, Eagles Fly. BG out, baby!” Brandon Graham leaves behind a career with 76.5 sacks, 487 tackles, and will forever be recognized by three Super Bowl appearances and two championship titles.

The Dallas Cowboys have signed two new running back free agents Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders to make up for the departure of Rico Dowdle this offseason. The dynamic duo is certain that they can turn things around and help the team improve after their inconsistent last season. “The sky’s the limit — I’ve been watching Miles since he was at Penn State, and then with the Eagles and a little with Carolina,” Williams said, via the team’s official website. “I’ve always respected his game, and I’m ready to get in here and compete with him and grind.”

The Packers have begun trade talks involving Jaire Alexander and are ready to transfer the star cornerback if offered the right price, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. Alexander, a two-time Pro Bowler, is one of the most accomplished cornerback who is currently on the trade market, Rapoport emphasized. With two years, $37 million left on his contract, and Packers General Manager noncommittal about him, his future in Green Bay is uncertain. “We’ll see,” Gutekunst said on Jan. 16 when asked if Jaire Alexander would be on the team in 2025. “We’re working through that. He certainly could be. But we’ll work through that as we go.”

It doesn’t seem like Lions General Manager Brad Holmes is willing to make a big splash this offseason. While Detroit has been linked to star pass rushers in trade and free agency, Holmes was direct when asked at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine if he planned to add another: “Probably not.” His response followed his comments on how hard it is to find talented edge rushers, especially after losing Aidan Hutchinson mid-season to a fractured leg. “It’s hard. There’s not a lot of those guys available,” Brad Holmes said. “And so just because we lost a star pass rusher due to injury, that doesn’t mean that other teams are going to say, ‘Hey, we have a star pass rusher. I know you lost one, but we have one. Would you like to have this one?’ “No, that’s a star pass rush for that team, and they’re trying to win games. So, and it’s not just a trade deadline, it’s, you know, free agency, during the year. Those guys are hard to find, you know, that’s why it’s called a premium position. Those guys are hard to acquire, and it’s hard to keep them financially, you know. Again, we have one that’s due for an extension, and we’ve already kind of gotten to the planning stages about him already. So when you talk about adding another one, it’s like, well, alright, can you financially add another one? Because you want to add the other one on top of everything else that you have, and that makes it tough.”
