There are certain NFL teams that make the headlines regardless of how well they play. Teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots. If they are good, everyone is talking about how good they are, if they are bad, chatter abounds on their troubles, and even if they are mediocre, fans lament their fall from greatness.  

What's really in a sound byte? If Steelers WR Antonio Brown ends up receiving a restricted free agency (RFA) tender offer in 2013, instead of a contract extension, will he really attend OTAs, taking a different path from his teammate, WR Mike Wallace? As quoted by Ed Bouchette, Brown said "Whatever the case may be, I plan on being here," referring to his future contract situation and OTAs. What about WR Emmanuel Sanders, who's in...  

On paper, the Eagles had lots going for them in 2011. Fresh off the signing of Nnamdi Asomugha, the momentum of Michael Vick, the ascension of LeSean McCoy, dynamic big play ability from DeSean Jackson. So what happened? Jackson's pre-season contract dispute, Vick's inevitable injury, Asomugha adapting to a new system, all these things took their tolls on the Eagles, and they limped to an 8-8 finish. The NFL should be wary of the...  

The Raiders are undergoing a complete overhaul from its previous administration. And with few draft picks on which to begin building a foundation (six picks, none in rounds 1 or 2), new head coach Dennis Allen has quite the undertaking. Hosting the Steelers in Week 3 doesn't make it any easier on him, or new offensive coordinator Greg Knapp or defensive coordinator Jason Tarver. Raiders Improvements It's hard to list just one. Or...  

This is the second article in the series about players who will help to define the Steelers' 2012 season. The first, covering SS Troy Polamalu, can be found here. Many words have been written about Isaac Redman on this site, detailing his amazing super powers and suchlike. But this article is a serious look at the real Isaac Redman, the RB who is the heir presumptive to Rashard Mendenhall's temporarily vacated throne. Isaac...  

Tribune-Review reporter Mark Kaboly transcribed a bit of Steelers CB Ike Taylor's appearance on TribLive Radio, and it will very likely be the talking point for the rest of this session OTAs. Taylor spent the weekend in Las Vegas with his teammate, WR Mike Wallace, and Taylor said Wallace is frustrated with his contract situation. What he also said was much more newsworthy. Mike feels like he outperformed his last contract. But he...  

There is a great disturbance in the force. A division typically owned by the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens gets thrown off kilter every now and again by the Cincinnati Bengals. But the Cincy Kitties don't usually put together playoff-caliber teams two years in a row. This year looks to change that. And it could continue for a spell after that thanks in part to a phenomenal 2012 draft and a team making all the right...  

Steelers back-up quarterback hopeful Troy Smith has been a part of the Steelers for a few months, but he's already mixing things up with two traditional rivals. Speaking to AP reporter Will Graves, Smith mentioned a set-back he had with tonsillitis his rookie season, before saying he would have given Ravens QB Joe Flacco a run for for the team's starting quarterback position. Smith was a fifth round draft pick of the Ravens in 2007...  

The talk Thursday seemed to be about reports indicating the tight end could be a big part of offensive coordinator Todd Haley's offense.That's assuming Haley feels the "focal" points of the offense are the guys throwing and/or moving the ball in a forward (hopefully) direction. Because it's not as if Miller was only a situational player. In fact, one could make the argument he's been the team's offensive MVP the last two years. A...  

The Steelers announced Tuesday they have come to terms with third round draft pick, LB Sean Spence. His signing, on the first day of the second OTA session, leaves only their first round pick, OG David DeCastro, unsigned. With Cincinnati having signed OG Kevin Zeitler, the 27th overall pick of the draft, on May 25, the table appears to be set for DeCastro's signing. Spence, though, is all set. The speedy if undersized linebacker...  

For Tennessee in 2012, it's not about who they brought in, it's who they're bringing back. And when the Steelers travel to Nashville for an early-season Thursday night game, they'll face a Titans team that overcame several hurdles in 2011 to finish a respectable 9-7, just out of the money for the post-season. It's unlikely the Steelers put the same kind of whipping they did in Week 6 of 2011, when the running game destroyed...  

PITTSBURGH (AP) When the Pittsburgh Steelers asked David Johnson to convert from tight end to fullback full-time in time for the 2012 season, the burly 270-pound Johnson's first thought was ''I need to go on a diet.''  

NEW YORK (AP) Former Pittsburgh Steelers star Hines Ward has been hired by NBC Sports to work as an analyst for its NFL and college football coverage.
