Sources: The #Steelers and TE Darnell Washington have agreed to a 4-year, $42m extension.
The massive tight end has developed into a key piece of Pittsburgh's offense and has been everything the Steelers hoped for when they drafted him.
Newly-traded DPOY Myles Garrett said #Commanders LT Laremy Tunsil was the last person to give him real problems
โLast time I felt like I was frustrated with somebody was probably Laremy [Tunsil]โ

The Washington Redskins had three different gay players in the 1960s and 70s. Homosexuality was widely unaccepted at the time, and gay men in the NFL likely wouldโve lost everything if they were publicly outed. Despite being very respected by most of their teammates, there were two notable instances of a gay player facing discrimination in the Redskins locker room, however, a teammate and coach stood up for them.
On one occasion, a player used a term which was widely reported to be a gay slur towards tight end Jerry Smith. Center Len Hauss heard this and confronted the player, telling him that heโd better not hear that word in the locker room ever again. The word was never uttered again.
On another occasion, assistant coaches were heard making fun of running back Ray McDonald. Head coach Vince Lombardi, who had a gay brother named Harold, confronted those coaches and told them that if he ever heard them talking like that again, theyโd be gone

At last: The #Eagles are trading star WR AJ Brown to the #Patriots, per The Insiders.
Itโs a 2028 first-round draft pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick going to Philly, as Brown reunites with coach Mike Vrabel. One of the NFLโs longest runnings sagas ends with a splash.
The Commanders play the Rams in Week 9, and just as a reminder, Laremy Tunsil has given up just one pressure against Myles Garrett since 2018 -- the lowest allowed to Garrett in that time frame. The midseason matchup between the two should be a fun watch
