Where does Derrick Henry rank all time as of right now?

2 Upvotes

I recently saw a post mentioning how Derrick Henry is in the top ten for rushing yards all time, so I’m curious as to where people have him ranked compared to the greats, obviously rushing yards is only one part of the ranking, I’d say he definitely could be fringe top 10 by the end of his career

I’m not a Steelers fan, which is part of why I’m curious. Do Steelers’ fans even want Aaron Rodgers back?

7 Upvotes

He is a league average QB at this point, that has drug his feet and hamstrung the team’s front office the entire offseason. Is what he brings to the team worth it? He returns, you win 8-9 games. Great. Wouldn’t it be better if he doesn’t come back, find out what you have in Will Howard and Drew Allar. If they both stink, you get a top 5 draft pick in a draft that is supposed to be historically great. You get your Franchise QB for the next 15-20 years. If one of them is a GUY then you already have your franchise QB, can plan for the future, their development will be further along, and your season probably goes about the same or better than if Rodgers’ returned. I don’t get the upside in wanting him back. And with him coming back you are essentially done with Howard and you are in a spot next year, in that possibly historically great QB draft in drafting a QB mid round, or betting on Allar or Howard with very little in game experience. If Rodgers doesn’t come back, at least you have a chance at KNOWING if Allar or Howard can be your guy. Rodgers is an all time great. He deserves respect. But he isn’t a life long Steelers. There is no reason for the Steelers to let Rodgers make them go through an entire offseason without clarity. If he was a career steeler legend, I could understand the leeway more, but that isn’t the case.

Sorry if there is repetition, it’s late where I am. TLDR - do Steelers fans want him back and if so why. Also, why is him coming back better for the Steelers outside of the *possibility* of winning 3-4 more games this year. Is that worth sacrificing future clarity/jeopardizing the future of two young, promising, recently drafted QBs.

Long time listener, first time caller. I’ll hang up and listen.

The Aaron Hernandez Story

2 Upvotes

I have been a fan of pro football since I was in middle school. Now in my late 20s and I’m a die hard Jags fan. Born and raised in central Florida now living in Michigan. There’s a story that always makes an impact on me just from the sheer amount of publicity and impact it had on the league as a whole. That story is the trials and tribulations of one Aaron Hernandez.

I’ve watched documentaries and the show on Hulu about his life, the effect of CTE on the brain, and the despicable crimes he committed. I remember seeing all of this in the news, watching him on live television being taken out of his home in handcuffs with his white shirt over him. This entire story is extremely disturbing and heart breaking. From his childhood trauma of the abuse he received from his father to the physical trauma he suffered from playing football.

What I will say is that the constant blows to the head to pair with the abuse he suffered as a child, we have a reason for the actions he took. CTE is a real disease and we have seen several cases of it and how it affects the brain later in life (examples include Junior Seau, Mike Webster, etc).

After watching the documentary and the biopic show, it really showed the impact it had on him. I do in some ways feel bad for him. We can speculate all day long about if he had a different up bringing whether or not he would have committed these heinous crimes. But the bottom line is Aaron Hernandez is a killer. A cold blooded killer. He is responsible for his own actions despite him being a victim of a terrible disease and upbringing or any CTE diagnosis. This does not excuse his actions in any way but does open up and give a potential cause to why he was behaving the way he did. Period.

Idk why Jake gets so much hate! He’s a great sports creator. I know he talks a lot but as a Rams fan, I appreciate it. I’m not tuning in to watch sports content unless I want a deep dive and he does that. Truly one of the best parts of the round table.

NFL UFA Predictions

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I've been thinking through some of the potential UFA landing spots with free agency about to start up:

Malik Willis to the Arizona Cardinals

Willis has been one of the hottest names in the free-agent pool after filling in admirably for Jordan Love late in the season with the Packers. There were reports he could command $35M+ in free agency, but even after his strong finish to the year, that feels a bit rich for someone with just six NFL starts under his belt.

Jeremy Fowler reported that Willis could receive a deal similar to the two-year, $40M contract that Justin Fields signed with the Jets, but I think there’s room for that number to creep closer to the $25M per year range.

Overall, the Browns have been heavily linked to Willis, but I don’t see that happening. With reports that both Arizona and Miami could move on from their current quarterbacks, this feels like a two-team race. Willis also has connections to both organizations. Miami hired Green Bay defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, while Arizona brought in Mike LaFleur, the brother of Willis’ former head coach Matt LaFleur in Green Bay.

Anthony Richardson to the Cleveland Browns

This one is a trade prediction, but it feels like a natural fit.

Indianapolis has given Richardson permission to seek out a trade, which likely signals that Daniel Jones will return as the starter in 2026. Richardson has dealt with numerous injuries during his NFL career and has yet to complete a full season since being drafted inside the top five.

Still, he’s only 23 years old, and the Browns could take a chance on a reclamation project during what could be a rebuilding season. The cost likely wouldn’t be significant, and new head coach Todd Monken loves to feature a vertical passing attack. Richardson has flashed the ability to push the ball downfield in the limited sample size we’ve seen so far.

Trey Hendrickson to the Washington Commanders

This feels like a natural fit that checks all the boxes.

Washington has plenty of cap space while Jayden Daniels remains on his rookie contract, and the team has a clear need at edge rusher. Even after an injury-plagued 2025 season, it’s easy to see how the Commanders could quickly get back into the NFC playoff picture.

Hendrickson is finally in line to get paid after several years of contract tension in Cincinnati, and Washington offers a situation where he could both secure a big deal and compete right away. If winning immediately isn’t his top priority, I could also see the Titans entering the mix.

Joey Bosa to the San Francisco 49ers

This is a smaller-scale prediction, but the connection makes a lot of sense.

The 49ers are looking to add more pass-rush help, and Joey Bosa joining his brother Nick in San Francisco would be a pretty natural move. It would mark the first time the two have played together since their days at Ohio State.

Of all the predictions on this list, this is one I feel pretty confident about.
