What to expect from Aaron Rodgers in the Pittsburgh Steelers offense
Aaron Rodgers is joining a Pittsburgh Steelers team long defined by consistency but starved for high-level quarterback play since Ben Roethlisberger's retirement three years ago. Is the 41-year-old future Hall of Famer the answer?
After a debut season with the New York Jets erased by injury and an underwhelming performance in his second season in New York, Rodgers enters 2025 with questions about his health, mobility and fit within offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's system. Still, his arrival would also seem to signal Pittsburgh's intention to compete now in a contentious AFC North that includes quarterbacks Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson. With a revamped receiving corps and a coaching staff under pressure to deliver, Rodgers could be either the short-term spark the Steelers need or a high-risk bet that stalls the franchise's long-term quarterback plan.

George Kittle says goal of Tight End University is to get better, paid more
George Kittle says goal of Tight End University is to get better, paid more Show Caption Hide Caption Greg Olsen talks Tight End University and what he's excited for in the 2025 NFL season Greg Olsen stops by to talk about another year of Tight End University and who he's excited to watch as the NFL season inches closer. Sports Seriously School may be out for the summer, but class is in session for tight ends across the league. Tight End University is returning for another season and while the goal is to improve on the field, George Kittle also has something else in mind for the 80 to 90 players in attendance. The San Francisco 49ers All-Pro and Tight End University co-founder wants to make sure his colleagues get paid. Kittle, who signed a four-year, $76.4 million extension this offseason, spoke about the event during an appearance on "The Dan Patrick Show" on Monday. "The only way for the tight end market to continue to grow is if everybody's getting paid," Kittle said. "That's the only way to do it. You can't just have one guy do it and then it just sits for three or four years because then you're stuck and it's stagnant and no one's getting paid." Competition is the name of the game, but Kittle is rooting for tight ends to be successful when they aren't playing the 49ers – because it helps drive up the price of future contracts. "We want everybody, I want everybody to have great seasons," Kittle said. "I want everybody to have great games, just not against the 49ers. But throughout the rest of the season, they can play as well as they want to because I want guys to get paid, to keep bumping up that market so by the time that Brock Bowers is doing his contract in three years, he's going for over $20 million, which he will. That's just the whole point. When Tight End U first started, I think the top of the market was $15 [million] and now it's $20 [million]." The requirements for enrollment are fairly lenient. Kittle said as long as he has an email address or can get a hold of them, all active players are invited. 'If you're on an NFL roster or were in the last year, you're invited,' Kittle said. 'I talk about run blocking, pass protection, YAC. Those are things I focus on. Travis [Kelce] talks about his route tree, how he reads his coverages, Greg Olsen talks about his routes. Jordan Reed has spoken about his releases. This year Evan Engram is going to talk.' Kittle expressed that they try to cover a lot in their limited time together, focusing on skills related to the game in addition to things that happen off the field, such as financial advising and investing. "We try to talk about all the things a tight end does because we're the only position that gets to do everything: Pass pro, run blocking, catching the football, scoring touchdowns, running the ball sometimes, so we kind of try to cover as much as we can in the limited time we have with these guys and just try to give them a step forward in their careers to help them make a team in the upcoming camp," Kittle said. Founded in 2021 by Kittle, Kelce and Olsen, Tight End University is a three-day program that takes place in Nashville before training camp. It's an event that continues to grow in popularity and seems to be paying off at the negotiating table. The Arizona Cardinals awarded Trey McBride a four-year, $76 million extension, which made him the highest-paid tight end in league history at the time. Of course, Kittle eventually surpassed that, but the arrow is pointing up for the position. Perhaps that degree is worth a bump in salary.

How Bears' Cole Kmet is helping rookie Colston Loveland
Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland has been waiting to get back on the football field after shoulder surgery back in January. But he's remained involved in meeting rooms and as an observer, where he's already leaning on his veteran teammates. That includes tight end Cole Kmet, entering his sixth season with Chicago, who has served as a sounding board and mentor for the Bears' top rookie throughout the offseason program. Advertisement "All the tight ends have been super helpful, but Cole, that's a vet right there," Loveland said. "[He] does everything the right way. Really good at football; really good mentally, really good physically. He's a great guy to look up to, and he's been very [helpful] … If I run a route or do something, he'll tell me some things, how he sees it, some coverage things, or whatever it may be. He's been super helpful and I'm very appreciative." Kmet previously discussed his approach to mentoring Loveland, where he reflected back on his time as a rookie with Jimmy Graham in that leadership role, as well as sharing his experiences with Loveland. Head coach Ben Johnson has sang Loveland's praises for how he's managed to stay involved from a mental standpoint as he remains unable to get on the field with the rest of the team. Loveland has spent the offseason immersing himself in the playbook as he aims to build those mental reps. The good news is Loveland is expected to be ready for training camp next month, and the team will finally get a glimpse at what Loveland and Kmet can do as a dynamic 1-2 punch on offense.

Ravens' under-the-radar CB may force his way into the starting lineup
Ravens' under-the-radar CB may force his way into the starting lineup Underestimate TJ Tampa at your own risk in Baltimore. He has a chance to crack the Ravens' starting lineup. The Baltimore Ravens are in a nice spot. They open mandatory minicamp knowing they're in a position many NFL teams wish they were in. They're a legitimate contender. They're well run. There are no question marks in terms of their starter at the quarterback position. Lamar Jackson is one of the best in the business. John Harbaugh is the NFL's second-longest-tenured head coach. On defense, there are stars, especially in the secondary. Chuck Pagano has returned, and he might have a shot at winning a Super Bowl ring he just missed out on during his last stint here. Chuck knows a thing or two about great secondary play. He spent four years hanging out with that Ed Reed fellow from 2008 until 2011. Fast forward to the present, and the cupboard is anything but bare. Kyle Hamilton and Marlon Humphrey are already stars. Malaki Starks is the new kid on the block, and Coach Pagano has already been fine-tuning the rookie. Once minicamp wraps, the Ravens get a mini-break before they dive headfirst into training camp. Chuck will have some interesting decisions to make, including determining who wins an outside cornerback role opposite Nate Wiggins. Can T.J. Tampa catapult himself past Chidobe Awuzie and into a starter's role? Let's do some inventory. If a depth chart had to be introduced today, Kyle Hamilton and Malaki Starks would obviously be the starters at safety. Nate Wiggins is one of the starters on the outside at cornerback. He's expected to make a leap in year two with the franchise. Marlon Humphrey enjoyed another Pro Bowl season while also being named a First-Team All-Pro. That's the second time he has enjoyed that honor. Humphrey enjoyed his success while playing the slot position, so he's penciled in there. Who's the other outside corner then? Unless another veteran is brought in, that competition will seemingly feature a tussle between Chidobe Awuzie and T.J. Tampa. Watch out for T.J.! Awuzie is the veteran. In eight seasons so far, he has started 81 of his 94 in-game appearances. He has also logged six starts during two postseason runs, but he has been injured. He has played in eight regular-season games or fewer during three of his past five NFL seasons. He has also missed time during OTAs because of a minor ankle injury. Tampa has done what most would expect. He has made a name for himself in Chidobe's absence. Might he catapult himself onto the roster? It's highly possible, but if Baltimore adds another veteran to the mix, it could cloud things. They've been linked to veteran free agent Jaire Alexander. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, it bears repeating. Coach Pagano has some work to do as this offseason rolls on and continues.
