Can Jaylen Brown lead the Boston Celtics next season?
Can Jaylen Brown lead the Boston Celtics next season? With Jayson Tatum ruled out of the 2025-26 season, Jaylen Brown could find himself stepping into a leading role for the Boston Celtics. The Georgia native has long been Boston's "1B" next to Tatum, leading fans to wonder what a team led by Brown could look like. Now, it would appear they're going to get their answer. Brown is an elite scorer, especially in the mid-range and around the rim. He's also improved as a playmaker in recent years. Still, there are concerns surrounding his decision-making and how he keeps control of the ball in traffic. As such, there will be a lot of questions surrounding his ability to thrive as a primary offensive option over the course of the season. Fortunately for Celtics fans, Brown continues to find ways of elevating his game and answering any questions asked of him. In a recent episode of ESPN's "First Take", Stephen A. Smith, Monica McNutt and Marcus Morris Sr. discussed Tatum's injury and the pressure that will now fall on Brown's shoulders. The trio shared their thoughts on whether Brown can lead a team, and more importantly, whether he will still be on the Celtics roster by the start of the season.

After watching 12 players depart in free agency, Roseman added two dynamic SEC linebackers, an All-American pass rusher, three offensive linemen, and an accomplished quarterback from Philadelphia. The defense has undergone an overhaul after defensive tackle Milton Williams (New England), Josh Sweat (Arizona), cornerback Darius Slay (Pittsburgh), cornerback Isaiah Rodgers (Minnesota), and linebacker Oren Burks (Cincinnati) all departed via free agency.

Former Steeler Antonio Brown says Aaron Rodgers tried to recruit him
Former Steeler Antonio Brown says Aaron Rodgers tried to recruit him One of the running jokes with new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is that he tries to bring in his former teammates at wide receiver wherever he lands. But this time around, it sounds like Rodgers might not be recruiting a former teammate but a former Steeler instead. According to a report by MLFootball, former Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown was contacted by Rodgers. Brown claims that Rodgers wanted to know if Brown might be willing to come out of retirement and play with Rodgers back in Pittsburgh. The Steelers officially announced on Thursday that Rodgers is signing a one-year contract with the Steelers to start for them in 2025. Brown is 36 years old and hasn't played in the league since 2021. Brown's career fell apart completely after he left the Steelers in 2019 but he had the greatest six-season stretch in NFL history when Ben Roethlisberger was throwing him the football. Having said all that, the last thing a Steelers team that just invited all the drama of Rodgers is to add in the drama of Brown as well.
