New York Jets to beat Titans
“it should be enough for the Jets to win what should be a competitive Week 1 game. Pick: Jets +1.5”
Closing line (Sep 13): Titans by 1.5 · a toss-up, Jets 48%, Titans 52%. Graded on who won, not on the spread.
Darius Slayton to move — “picked up by another NFL team sooner rather than later”
“Despite last year's numbers, Slayton will probably be picked up by another NFL team sooner rather than later.”
Drew Allar to make the roster
“it appears the Steelers' initial 53-man roster will indeed include each of the team's four quarterbacks”
Will Howard to be cut
“By keeping all four, McCarthy will put himself in position to maximize this season's potential and starting the post-Rodgers era next season with two young quarterbacks under contract.”
Mason Rudolph to make the roster
“Beyond that, Rudolph's performance this summer also merits a spot on the 53-man roster.”
Joey Porter Jr. to move to Pittsburgh Steelers
“Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. ... Pittsburgh general manager Omar Kahn has made several surprising player transactions in the past.”
J.J. McCarthy to move to Minnesota Vikings
“Vikings QB: JJ McCarthy. ... McCarthy's overall potential might be enough to compel a team to make an offer to the Vikings for his services”
Mason Rudolph to make the roster
“it appears -- based on McCarthy's recent comments --- that his spot on Pittsburgh's 53-man roster is secure.”
J.J. McCarthy to move to Minnesota Vikings
“McCarthy's overall potential might be enough to compel a team to make an offer to the Vikings for his services, more than likely as a backup.”
Joey Porter Jr. to move to Pittsburgh Steelers
“Khan could do so now with Porter if a team is willing to give the Steelers some considerable capital in exchange for one of the NFL's top young cornerbacks.”
Drew Allar to make the roster
“Rookie Drew Allar hasn't thoroughly outplayed Howard, but he's nonetheless done enough to seal his spot on the 53-man roster.”
Joey Porter Jr. to move to Dallas Cowboys
“CBS Sports' Bryan DeArdo thinks the team should make a play for Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr.”
Joey Porter Jr. to stay with Pittsburgh Steelers
“At this point, it's more likely that Porter remains in Pittsburgh through 2026.”
Mason Rudolph to make the roster
“One can also assume that McCarthy would rather keep two young quarterbacks on the roster, which could very well lead to Rudolph being the odd man out.”
