Justin Fields in returner position?
The idea seems pretty crazy. But according to what Steelers running back Jaylen Warren said on teammate Cam Heyward’s podcast, it’s far from fiction.
In addition to Cordarrelle Patterson, Justin Fields could be one of the Steelers’ options at the returner position. Warren reportedly got this information directly from Pittsburgh’s special teams coordinator, Danny Smith.
“I think it’s really coolWarren explained. The moment you touch the ball, that’s when anything can happen. »
For the runner, this possibility does not seem crazy. Justin Fields is, according to him, the fastest player on the Steelers. And Russell Wilson’s new understudy is also a prolific player when it comes to running with the ball in hand. He recorded 2,200 rushing yards in three NFL seasons. So why not ?
No charges against Dak Prescott
Accused of sexual assault, Dak Prescott (QB, Cowboys) will no longer be worried by the courts. Dallas police announced Thursday that they determined there was not enough evidence to proceed with a case.
The alleged facts date back to 2017. A woman accused Prescott of assaulting her in the back of an SUV in the parking lot of a strip club.
Injuries
– Tank Dell is fine. The young Texans receiver was shot last week in Florida. But fortunately, it would not be serious, assured general manager Nick Caserio during an interview on SportsRadio610. For the moment, everything suggests that he will be available before the start of the season.
– Everything is going as planned Nick Chubb (RB, Browns). After his terrible leg injury on the second day of last season, the running back continues to make progress. Asked about the subject on The Ken Carman Show, Browns general manager Andrew Berry indicated that Chubb is progressing well, even if he has a long way to go.

The main signatures of the day: Joey Slye (K, Patriots), Deion Jones (LB, Bills)
The main cuts of the day:
Rumors
– Former Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (WR) is among the best free agents still available at his position. The 29-year-old, a reliable target in Joe Burrow’s slot, initially approached the rival Steelers team. Without results, for the moment. This week, he also visited the Chargers and Titans. (ESPN)
And bref
– What is happening in Arizona? A week after the draft, the highly anticipated rookie receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has still not signed his players’ license with the NFLPA, the players’ union, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN. His Cardinals jersey is therefore still not available for purchase.
– There is no point in sending packages or mail to Travis Kelce. The tight end explained on his podcast New Heigts that he’s been getting a ton (literally) of mail at his house since his address was leaked online. So much so that he ended up asking the post office to no longer deliver anything to his home… Fortunately, online invoices exist!
– The Dolphins are not for sale. Not for $10 billion, anyway. According to USA Today, Stephen Ross refused an offer of this amount. The envelope covered the Miami NFL franchise, but also the Hard Rock Stadium and the Miami F1 Grand Prix. Ross, who is 83, would like to keep the Dolphins in the family fold. His daughter Jennifer is called upon to take over.
–Always more for Super Bowl commercials. According to Variety, FOX is asking more than 7 million dollars for the 30-second spots of the Big Game which will be played in February 2025. Last year, the starting price was between 6.5 and 7 million.
Dak Prescott “communicates” with the Cowboys
We thought it was at a standstill. Finally, Dak Prescott has reportedly resumed negotiations with the Cowboys for a contract extension. It was the quarterback who confirmed it during a baseball charity event.
“There are always discussionsPrescott first said when reporters asked him about his contract situation. I am aware of what Jerry [Jones] said and everything is correct. Communication [avec les dirigeants des Cowboys] had its ups and downs. »
But obviously, things are now going in the right direction. And a week ago, Jones, the owner of the franchise, again confided that he wanted to continue the adventure in the long term with the almost 31-year-old quarterback. In September, Prescott enters the fourth and final year of his lucrative $160 million contract. An agreement will have to be found before the end of next season. Otherwise, he could hit the unrestricted free agent market as soon as 2025.
Stefon Diggs (WR, Texans) is strong
