4 Steelers veterans on the roster bubble ahead of minicamp
On June 10, the Pittsburgh Steelers will kick off mandatory minicamp and we expect plenty of position battles. Pittsburgh has multiple spots where key backups could lose their spots to rookies and recently added veterans. Here are the four veterans who need to stay sharp if they don't want to end up off the 53-man roster.
QB Skylar Thompson
The Steelers will bring four quarterbacks to training camp and if we assume Aaron Rodgers will end up being one of them, Will Howard bumps Thompson from the final 53-man roster.
RB Cordarrelle Patterson
We expected the Steelers to release Cordarrelle Patterson when they signed Kenneth Gainwell but now that Kaleb Johnson is on the team, along with veteran Trey Sermon, Patterson is going to struggle to find a spot on the depth chart.
EDGE Jeremiah Moon
The Steelers brought Moon back but his stay could just be for the Summer after the Steelers got a huge bargain in the fourth round with EDGE Jack Sawyer.
WR Scotty Miller
The Steelers might not have an elite group of receivers, but the addition of rookie Roc Taylor and veteran Robert Woods makes his road to the final roster steep.

Dan Orlovsky and ESPN in agreement on a new deal: Sources
Dan Orlovsky, who hinted he may not return to ESPN, is expected to re-sign with the network and continue as a prominent football analyst, sources briefed on the contract talks said Tuesday. Orlovsky's new deal is not signed yet, but it has been agreed upon. He will continue to appear on 'NFL Live,' the second team on 'Monday Night Football' and all of his other daily talk show appearances, where he analyzes the NFL and college. Advertisement Orlovsky had talks to be on CBS' Big Ten broadcasts in place of the retiring Gary Danielson, but Orlovsky wanted to hear what ESPN would offer, making the timing not right for a decision. CBS ended up moving Charles Davis from the NFL to college after Danielson's final year in the booth. J.J. Watt is replacing Davis on CBS' No. 2 NFL broadcast team with Ian Eagle. After the Super Bowl in February, Orlovsky said on ESPN that 'you never know what the future holds,' as he gave thanks and mentioned he would not be on the network for a while. However, Orlovsky has since appeared on ESPN. ESPN declined to comment on Orlovsky's expected re-signing. Orlovsky, 41, joined ESPN in 2018 after a 12-year NFL career, where he served mostly as a backup. He rose through the ranks quickly and became part of ESPN's daily 'NFL Live' ensemble that also features Laura Rutledge, Marcus Spears and Mina Kimes. Additionally, Orlovsky pairs with Chris Fowler and Louis Riddick Jr. on ESPN's extra NFL games that its top team of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman don't broadcast.

Minnesota Frost lose 2 forwards in PWHL expansion draft
The back-to-back PWHL champion Minnesota Frost lost two players in Monday night's expansion draft, during which the league's two newest teams filled out their rosters. The Frost lost Brooke McQuigge and Denisa Krizova to Vancouver. The expansion team also added two former Frost players during the exclusive signing window: defenders Sophie Jaques and Claire Thompson. The Frost were allowed to protect four players from the expansion teams, choosing forwards Kendall Coyne Schofield, Taylor Heise, Britta Curl-Salemme and defender Lee Stecklein. Jaques and Thompson were the bigger losses for the Frost — they had the second- and fourth-most points on the team last season. McQuigge was tied with Curl-Salemme for fifth-most and Krizova had the eighth-most. Coyne Schofield was first and Heise was tied with Jaques. The Frost are the only champions in PWHL history, having won the Walter Cup in each of the nascent league's first two seasons. With Seattle and Vancouver joining, the PWHL now has eight teams.
