🚨 DEVELOPING: NFL teams are reportedly keeping an eye on Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. as questions continue surrounding his future in Pittsburgh, per Jordan Schultz.

The Steelers have yet to reach a contract extension with Porter, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal.

Pittsburgh has already locked up several young players with new contracts, including Nick Herbig, Darnell Washington and Keeanu Benton. Porter, however, remains without an extension leading teams around the league to wonder if he could potentially become available in a trade.

Porter has been a regular starter through his first three NFL seasons, starting 41 games and recording:

💪 164 total tackles
🛡️ 31 passes defended
🔥 3 interceptions

With his rookie contract nearing its end and no new deal in place, Joey Porter Jr.’s situation is becoming one to watch around the NFL. 👀🔥🏈

🚨 The San Francisco 49ers are bringing RB Khalil Herbert BACK after releasing him earlier this month.

Herbert was originally signed by San Francisco following Jordan James’ fractured rib injury, but was released shortly afterward.

Now, the 49ers are re-signing the veteran running back after placing RB Patrick Taylor on season-ending injured reserve, creating another need in the backfield.

Herbert enters his return to San Francisco with plenty of NFL experience, having recorded:

1,957 career rushing yards
9 rushing TDs
942 kickoff return yards

With the 49ers dealing with injuries at running back, Khalil Herbert gets another opportunity in San Francisco. 🏈🔥

🚨 Could Kayshon Boutte be headed HOME to New Orleans? 👀⚜️

With Jordyn Tyson expected to miss the next two months and Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte reportedly seeking a trade, the Saints could make a lot of sense as a potential landing spot.

Boutte, 24, was born in New Iberia, Louisiana, and played his college football at LSU from 2020-2022. A trade to New Orleans would give him the opportunity to return to his home state while helping the Saints fill the void created by Tyson’s injury.

New Orleans’ current WR room includes:

▫️ Chris Olave
▫️ Jordyn Tyson injured
▫️ Devaughn Vele
▫️ Barion Brown
▫️ Bryce Lance
▫️ Mason Tipton
▫️ Trey Palmer

Boutte is entering the final year of his 4-year, $4.027M rookie contract and is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in 2027.

He’s coming off a strong 2025 season, finishing with 33 receptions for 551 yards and 6 touchdowns.

Could a Louisiana homecoming be next for Kayshon Boutte? 👀⚜️🏈

A major loss for the Horned Frogs heading into the season. 🏈🚨

Despite missing most of the season, Rapp still finished with:

💪 26 total tackles
🔥 17 solo tackles

Now healthy and joining Denver, Rapp will look to make an impact in the Broncos’ secondary and provide valuable NFL experience.

Taylor Rapp is heading to Denver. 👀🏈🔥

🚨 Jets rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr. has reportedly been passed by Isaiah Williams for the WR3 spot, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini. 🏈👀

Cooper has still put together a solid training camp, catching 2 passes for 31 yards in the preseason opener before following that performance with another strong practice this week.

The rookie has also been putting in extra work after practice, staying on the field with Williams and catching an additional 100-200 passes each on the Jugs machine.

The Jets’ apparent WR depth chart currently looks like:

🔶 WR1: Garrett Wilson
🔶 WR2: Adonai Mitchell
🔶 WR3: Isaiah Williams
🔶 WR4: Omar Cooper Jr.

Williams originally entered camp primarily as a return specialist but has continued to impress and earn a bigger role in the offense.

Cooper being behind Williams doesn’t necessarily mean the first-round rookie is struggling, but it’s definitely a development worth watching as the preseason continues. 👀🔥🏈
