Steelers WR Sammie Coates has second broken finger on same hand

Ron Rivera: "I had a chance to meet with Alex Smith this week and we had a very honest and real discussion. We decided it would be best for both parties to move on and we will be granting Alex his request to be released. "

It makes financial sense for Washington to move on from Alex Smith, which will save them close to $15 million against the cap. Smith will look to add a veteran presence in a team's locker room in 2021.

Steelers have signed QB Ben Roethlisberger to a new contract for 2021.

It's highly unlikely we'll see a return to prior 2019 form for Ben Roethlisberger, but he remains the starter in Pittsburgh for 2021. Even without JuJu Smith-Schuster if he decides to sign elsewhere, the 39-year old QB does have plenty of surrounding offensive weapons and should be considered a QB2 heading into this season.

Giants released WR Golden Tate, per source.

Last year wasn't the best for Golden Tate, who put up a 35-388-2 line for the Giants in 12 games. The 32-year old will look to get a gig with another NFL team, most likely a one-year deal.
