Adam Schefter says Terry McLaurin wants more money than Steelers' DK Metcalf
Star WR Terry McLaurin set off a speculation firestorm with his trade request on Thursday — but there may now be a clearer idea of his desired contract amount, one that surpasses Steelers WR DK Metcalf. On a recent episode of The Pat McAfee Show, ESPN's Adam Schefter shared some insight on McLaurin's contract talks with the Commanders — comparing Metcalf's historic deal with the Steelers as the bar he's looking to surpass. "It's up to the two sides to figure out a way to bridge their differences," Schefter said. "But I would say that DK Metcalf was the same draft class as Terry McLaurin, he got about $33 million per year. I wouldn't think that Terry is going to take less than that — and I think he wants considerably more than that." Consider the high price tag and premium draft capital needed to acquire him, a potential Steelers trade for McLaurin may not be in the cards — despite still being considered one of the betting favorites to land the star wide receiver. Metcalf's extension wasn't the only trend-setting move made by Pittsburgh — as the Steelers made T.J. Watt the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL a few weeks ago, potentially making it difficult for the rest of the league to pay their edge rushers.

Steelers' Mike Tomlin gives injury updates on Joey Porter Jr., Cory Trice, Calvin Anderson
CB Cory Trice sustained a hamstring injury and OL Calvin Anderson had a lower body injury in tonight's practice, Tomlin Porter Jr. is day-to-day with an unspecified ailment. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin has provided some injury updates following the Friday Night Lights practice in Latrobe. Following the annual tradition at Latrobe Memorial Stadium, Tomlin addressed three Steelers dealing with injuries — CB Joey Porter Jr., CB Cory Trice, and OL Calvin Anderson. According to the long-time Steelers head coach, Porter is dealing with an undisclosed injury but is day-to-day, Anderson's lower body is being evaluated after slipping, and Trice sustained a hamstring injury. Porter didn't participate in practice and was spotted by spectators and reporters alike wearing sweats — while both Anderson and Trice were hurt at Friday Night Lights. Anderson serves as the top backup offensive tackle, while Trice may need to compete for a roster spot in a loaded CB room — which makes the timing of his hamstring injury even more unfortunate. We at Steelers Wire will keep you all updated on the condition of these three Steelers, which will likely be cleared up in the next couple of training camp practices — hopefully with a positive injury update.

Parsons, Cowboys relationship is easily fixable with a little bit of cash money
It's the same stuff, different day in Dallas Cowboys Land right now. Every summer the Cowboys find themselves embattled in the same situation: a star player wants a new deal, and the front office is none-too-eager to meet his demands. And this year is no different. This season's edition of 'pay that man' features Micah Parsons. Parsons, the Cowboys All-Pro pass rusher and arguably the best player on the team, is entering the fifth-year option following his rookie deal. It's a time when most former first rounders who are going to be extended, have been. It's supposed to be a preemptive attack on free agency and a way for players to secure the bag, while teams lock down their future. It's safe to say things have gone poorly in negotiations. So poorly, Parsons has seemingly taken a page from Myles Garrett's playbook and now demanded a trade. The business portion of football can get ugly and ugly is exactly where the Cowboys and Parsons are at the moment. To fans who have been watching the situation unravel on social media, it's Code Orange in Dallas right now (hospital code for a disaster). Parsons might be the most dominant defensive player the Cowboys have ever rostered. Losing him is a nightmare no one wants to imagine. But in the words of the great Cowboys-killer Aaron Rodgers, 'relaaaaaax.' Money has a way of curing all wounds. The Cowboys have been down this road before and every time they've found a way to keep the players they want while repairing the bad blood along the way. All with a simple stroke of the pen. Parsons' trade demand is a demand for progress, if anything. His 'hold in' wasn't getting the results he wanted so he upped the pressure. Quite possibly the only player more media savvy than the Joneses, Parsons has placed himself in the driver's seat, even if the Cowboys hold the leverage. He's got fan support, teammates support, league support and all the media attention he could ask for. Parsons knows he's under contract for 2025. He also knows the Cowboys could franchise tag him for a year or two thereafter. He wants what Garrett and T.J. Watt both fought to get: a top of the market contract extension. Given his age, durability and efficiency, he's more than entitled to it as well. Resetting the market isn't an absurd demand and there's a good chance the Cowboys front office is already prepared to do it. There's a stalemate in negotiations, but the chasm probably isn't as wide as some might think. At the end of the day the Cowboys always find a way to get their man. If they want Parsons, they'll get him. And if Parsons gets paid, he'll be happy to put it all behind him and hit the ground running. Money heals all wounds in the NFL and the drama unfolding in training camp this year is nothing new for a franchise that lives on drama such as this. So, relax.
