Steelers, Commanders trade pitch gives Aaron Rodgers another target
Steelers, Commanders trade pitch gives Aaron Rodgers another target originally appeared on The Sporting News Terry McLaurin's future with the Washington Commanders looks uncertain after he requested a trade last week. The veteran wide receiver seems ready for a new chapter away from Washington amid a contract standoff. Having recorded five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, McLaurin is an attractive option for teams looking to strengthen their receiving corps. On Monday, The Athletic highlighted five teams that could become strong contenders for his services if the Commanders are open to deals. One of the five teams mentioned in the piece are the Pittsburgh Steelers, who made a move in the offseason to add DK Metcalf to be their No. 1 receiver. Nonetheless, could the Steelers give Metcalf a running mate and Aaron Rodgers another target to ensure this season is a successful one. So, what would Pittsburgh give up in a trade with the Commanders? The Athletic's Mike DeFabo notes that a player and pick will be enough for the Steelers to get the disgruntled McLaurin out of Washington. MORE:Bills send familiar face, draft pick to Commanders in Terry McLaurin trade idea Commanders get: 2026 third-round pick and Roman Wilson Steelers get: Terry McLaurin "If the Steelers want to give Aaron Rodgers the best chance to make a run in what could be his final season, the biggest bet they could make would be a dynamic receiving threat behind DK Metcalf," DeFabo wrote. "For more than a year, there have been questions surrounding the WR2 position. "Right now, the team seems interested in seeing how two receivers on rookie contracts — Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson — fill that role. McLaurin would be an instant and massive upgrade, signaling the Steelers really are 'all in' for Rodgers." In Wilson, the Commanders would receive a young wideout who was drafted in the third round last year to grow with Jayden Daniels. As for McLaurin, his potential arrival could turn the Steelers into a dark horse to win the NFC North if their key players on offense stay healthy and play up to the expected potential.

WWE Raw Results August 4, 2025: 5 Takeaways From Post-SummerSlam Show
The Raw after SummerSlam was like the episode to tie up any loose ends following two epic nights at MetLife Stadium. There were two title matches, but no new champions were crowned. Still, there was a lot uncovered. Here are the five biggest takeaways from Raw after SummerSlam 2025. Seth Rollins Names His Faction and Shows Us He's Healthy Seth Rollins is in excellent physical condition—at least visually—and he worked a pretty physical match against LA Knight in the show's main event to prove it. More on that later, but Rollins also named his faction. He, Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed will be known as The Vision. I'd expect merch to land sometime very soon. The show-opening promo from Heyman and Rollins was stellar, though it was interrupted by a clumsily executed rant from Knight. For a guy whose persona is built on one-liners, he gets tongue-tied an awful lot. In any case, he's still majorly over with the fans, and boy is he underrated as an athlete and in-ring performer. The match was decent, and there is likely more to come between him and Rollins later this Lynch is the Greatest Female Wrestler Ever, It's Official Lynch said it during her mic session on Monday, and as she mentioned, a writer for Sports Illustrated said it: she is the greatest female wrestler of all time. For a while, I held that title for Charlotte, but watching Lynch make the most of every position she's in has pushed The Man to the top of the list for me. Lynch is owning this IC title reign, and she destroyed Nikki Bella on the mic on Monday. We've heard a lot of references to Bella's past relationship with John Cena over the years, but Lynch dropped an absolute nuke that seemed to legitimately get under Nikki's skin. Very rarely will you see a bar dropped that elicits the 'holy s###' chant from fans, but this one deservedly did. Take a look at this video. Lynch is doing her job. She is elevating the women's IC title like Gunther did for the men's version, and that's the other thing that has pushed her to the top of my Addressed Brock Lesnar's Return WWE didn't go into great detail, but Michael Cole did read a statement from WWE CEO Nick Khan and CCO Triple H in which they told fans that they called Brock Lesnar a few weeks ago and told him, 'it's time for you to come home.' As you saw on Sunday night, Lesnar took them up on the offer, and his presence immediately delivered what was arguably the pop of the Lee is Coming Back, the Groundwork is Being Laid Did you catch what Lynch said in her mic work? She said, 'me and my hot husband are the greatest wrestling couple of all time.' Rollins is embroiled in a major feud with CM Punk, who is married to…AJ Lee. There is no way WWE will resist the urge to offer Lee an outrageous amount of money to main event Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, or WrestleMania in a mixed tag-team match with her husband vs. Lynch and Rollins. That match is big enough to main event any WWE show, and I have to believe it is coming over the next six to eight Threat is Upcoming for Clash in Paris Before any of that happens, it seems like we're looking at a Triple Threat match for Clash in Paris. Rollins is seemingly on pace to defend his World Heavyweight title against Knight and Punk. The latter interrupted the main event match, and that usually means all three men will wind up battling soon. It's a cool main event, but it doesn't seem like a match that will see Rollins drop the title. They're pushing the 'Absolute Power' concept for The Vision, and it would be weird to have him drop the title less than 30 days after winning it.

Stephen Colbert Chides Trump for Firing the Messenger (Again)
Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night's highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now. A Formerly Thankless Job The government said on Friday that the labor market had weakened as employers pulled back on hiring. One news outlet said the numbers were the worst since the pandemic. On Monday, Stephen Colbert said that President Trump had 'taken us back to Covid now.' 'That explains why he's growing sourdough starter around his ankles.' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'When he heard about this employment crisis, Trump sprang into action and fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. No! No, you fool! Now there's one less job! Don't you see? You fell into her trap.' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'But it makes sense. He fires anyone who gives him bad news: 'Mr. Dr. Cardiologist, you clearly rigged my cholesterol to be 1,000 and said my blood type was aioli. You're fired. I happen to know it's honey mustard.'' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'Trump said that he'll announce a new commissioner in the next few days. So far, the front-runner is Sydney Sweeney, but we'll see where we land.' — JIMMY FALLON The Punchiest Punchlines (Ballroom Edition) 'President Trump unveiled the plans last week for a new $200 million ballroom he's planning to add to the White House. Hmm, it doesn't sound like he's planning on leaving in three years. Back when I was renting apartments, I never even painted.' — SETH MEYERS 'Now, presidents are allowed to do a little renovation, of course. The Obamas added a vegetable garden. Truman and Nixon both added bowling lanes, and Jimmy Carter famously added a sex dungeon.' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'That's right, President Trump spoke about his proposal to build a ballroom on the White House grounds next to the Executive Mansion and added, 'It'll be near it but not touching it' So kind of like him and Melania.' — SETH MEYERS The Bits Worth Watching John Oliver demystified deferred prosecution agreements and how they're helping corporations get away with misconduct on Sunday's 'Last Week Tonight.' What We're Excited About on Tuesday Night Brittany Snow, star of 'The Hunting Wives,' will appear on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers.'
