  • Along with a sixth-round pick.
  • All the Steelers had to give up was a 2019 fifth-rounder.

• The Jags are down a receiver, as Marqise Lee is done for the year with a knee injury.
  • He was low-tackled in the game against the Falcons.
    • Jags players are blaming the new tackling rules, because they’ve “made people scared to tackle normal”, according to Jalen Ramsey.
  • When asked about adding a veteran receiver, Doug Marrone smiled & said nothing when someone brought up Dez Bryant.

• Andrew Luck got his foot injured against the Niners on Saturday.
  • “He’d play if we were playing Sunday”, said Frank Reich, who reminded everyone Luck wasn’t scheduled for the fourth preseason game.

• The Patriots plan to keep Dreamboat safer by inking Shaq Mason to an extension.
