- We finally have numbers for Darius Slay’s deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is signing a 1-year, $10 million fully guaranteed deal, according to the NFL Network. The 34-year-old is headed to Pittsburgh after being a five-year starter with the Eagles and helping lead the team to a Super Bowl win earlier this year.
- It’s a two-year, $20 million deal for the former 49er, per ESPN.

- Engram was released by the Jaguars this week.
- Russell Wilson is set to meet with several teams this week, according to multiple reports. The former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback will meet with the Cleveland Browns on Thursday, and then visit with the New York Giants on Friday.
- Both the Browns and the Giants need a quarterback, though the Giants have been linked to Aaron Rodgers. Wilson threw for 2,482 yards and 16 touchdowns in 11 games with the Steelers last season.
- Now that the new league year has started, the Jets are officially designating Aaron Rodgers a post-June 1 cut, per ESPN.
- The move will save the Jets $7 million, but they’ll incur $49 million total in dead money, including a $35 million cap hit in 2026.
