Steelers inquired about potential Terry McLaurin trade, but one holdup remains, per report
According to DK Pittsburgh Sports' Chris Halicke, sources say Steelers GM Omar Khan reached out to the Washington Commanders to inquire about McLaurin's availability — but financial obligations may hold up a deal.
"In reaching out to the Commanders, the Steelers learned that McLaurin not only wants to be paid like a true No. 1 receiver, which is expected, he wants to be a true No. 1 receiver on whatever team he plays on in 2025 and beyond," Halicke wrote. "With the Steelers having DK Metcalf signed to a five-year, $150 million contract, they've committed to him as their No. 1 receiver."
ESPN's Adam Schefter previously echoed a similar sentiment — revealing on The Pat McAfee Show that McLaurin wants to surpass Metcalf's $33 million per season.
Still, Khan's inquiry is an exciting development — one that should come as no surprise considering the blockbuster moves made by Pittsburgh this offseason.

Kane Wommack labels this player as Alabama's 'freakiest' athlete
A returning starter on the Alabama Crimson Tide defense, Qua Russaw is a player who could certainly take an even bigger step forward this fall. Entering year three at Alabama, Russaw is a former top recruit from the Crimson Tide's 2023 recruiting class who originally redshirted his initial season in Tuscaloosa, but eventually enjoyed a breakout campaign a year ago. As to what it included, Russaw emerged as the starting "wolf" in Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack's defense, posting a combined stat line of 36 tackles, three TFL, one sack, two interceptions, and a forced fumble. Wommack also recently commented on Alabama's starting wolf following a recent fall camp practice as well, with the Crimson Tide defensive coordinator speaking highly of the now redshirt sophomore. "On a team full of freaky people, Qua is the freakiest," Wommack said. "He's freaky athletic. I think he's a special talent in terms of his strength. You watch him at the point of attack, when we started talking about violent hands, which is one of our Bama fundamentals that we continue to stress and harp on, Qua's ability to destroy blocks and get off and make plays. There was a play against Auburn, a guy came and pulled against him, and he absolutely obliterated him at the point of attack. Those are things that show up on tape in terms of his strength and physicality." "Ultimately, what I like about Qua, it's knowing when to and when not to, from a physical standpoint, be too-aggressive. I think he learned a lot last year with the experience he had, and he's what I would call, has turned himself into, a controlled, aggressive player." A key area of need, Alabama will likely be counting on a breakout season from Russaw when it comes to rushing the passer, and if that were to in fact happen for the redshirt sophomore, then it will make what is expected to be one of college football's top defenses even that much scarier.

Rosen Law Firm Encourages Marex Group plc Investors to Inquire About Securities Class Action Investigation
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Marex Group plc (NASDAQ: MRX) resulting from allegations that Marex may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public. So What: If you purchased Marex securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses. What to do next: To join the prospective class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@ for information on the class action. What is this about: On August 5, 2025, during market hours, NINGI Research published a report entitled 'Marex Group plc: A Financial House of Cards.' In announcing the report, NINGI Research stated that, in its opinion, 'Marex has engaged in a multi-year accounting scheme involving a web of opaque off-balance-sheet entities, fictitious intercompany transactions, and misleading disclosures to conceal significant losses, inflate profits, and mask its true risk exposure. We have uncovered evidence suggesting Marex is a financial house of cards, with a balance sheet riddled with holes and financials that we believe are unreliable.' On this news, the price of Marex Group stock fell 7.6% on August 5, 2025. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. At the time Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors.
