Former Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown regrets his issues with Ben Roethlisberger The Pittsburgh Steelers have drafted a lot of successful wide receivers since the late 90s. One of the most impressive was Antonio Brown. Brown was a dominant force over his nine seasons with the team. His connection with Ben Roethlisberger helped the Steelers become one of football’s best offenses. Unfortunately, that connection ran into some problems near the end of Brown’s time in Pittsburgh. Those issues included an argument between the two that led to Brown skipping practices and being held out of a game. During a February…
In the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots face a pivotal decision with their early picks, drafting in the top five picks for the first time since 1994 when they selected USC linebacker Willie McGinnest. McGinnest would go on to be a Hall of Famer. While some argue for selecting a new quarterback to revitalize the offense, others advocate for bolstering the receiving corps, which has been depleted in recent seasons, while adding a veteran QB via free agency. Among the top wide receiver prospects in this year’s draft class is Rome Odunze from the University of Washington.…
For the Patriots, armed with the No. 3 overall pick, selecting a QB might make the most sense, especially in what appears to be a quarterback-rich draft in which as many as five signal-callers could go in the first round.

Barring an unexpected franchise tag before the end of the window (March 5), here are 10 free agent options for the Patriots to consider — some with connections to the new coaching staff, and some who are intriguing for other reasons. Joshua Dobbs led the…

The New England Patriots offensive lineman “informed teams via email” that he has terminated his relationship with his agents, Roosevelt Barnes and Jovan Barnes, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio reported Sunday. Onwenu will be without an agent for at least the next few days, as NFL rules state players must wait at least five days after firing their agents before hiring a new one. Florio also added that the 26-year-old “might decide to represent himself.” Onwenu is one of the best Patriots players set to become an unrestricted free agent on March 13. The 2020 sixth-round pick made a seamless…
For the first time since 1974, an NFL season will kick off without Bill Belichick on the sidelines. So, what exactly will next season look like for the 71-year-old? Retirement? A break? Or the beginning of a new career, like one in broadcasting? It appears the latter is the answer, as revealed by former New England Patriots assistant and the oldest of Bill’s two sons, Steve Belichick, in a recent interview on “The Green Light with Chris Long” podcast. “I think he’s good,” Steve said about his father’s departure from the Patriots. “OK, after leaving the Patriots.

As the dust settles on Liverpool’s exhilarating Carabao Cup final victory over Chelsea, manager Jürgen Klopp has been heaping praise on Wataru Endō for his stellar performance. The 31-year-old midfielder was instrumental in the Reds’ triumph, prompting Klopp to jest that Endō should be rewarded with a lengthy contract extension given his significant contribution to the squad. Endō demonstrated exceptional stamina in the face-off with Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea, but his exertions resulted in an injury scare for Liverpool, as he exited Wembley Stadium on crutches and sporting a protective boot. This development raises concerns about the team’s fitness levels as…
