Steelers Weigh Veteran Upgrade or 2027 Draft Windfall, Jeremiah Says

NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah laid out two practical options for the Steelers: use a third‑round pick to acquire a veteran (potentially at quarterback) to plug a hole now, or trade back into 2027 to accumulate more high‑end picks if the 2026 QB class doesn’t meet expectations. Each path has drawbacks, including aging roster implications for a veteran route and uncertain return on a 2027 draft push, but either strategy could shape Pittsburgh’s plans for this year and beyond.

Bucs Secure NFC South Lead with Win Over Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders extended their losing streak to nine games with a defeat against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, highlighting ongoing issues under head coach Antonio Pierce, who continues to make repeated game management errors. Despite the team's struggles, safety Tre'von Moehrig shone with a standout performance, while tight end Michael Mayer showed promise after returning from a midseason absence. Conversely, Isaiah Pola-Mao and rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell had disappointing outings, with O’Connell likely sidelined for the season due to a knee injury. The Raiders' loss, however, improved their chances of securing the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.
