Steelers Get Asking Price for Matthew Stafford

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are exploring all options for their quarterback position, including a number of veterans. Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields and even Daniel Jones have been mentioned as names to watch, and a potential trade for Matthew Stafford has also been floated out there.

When it came to Stafford, the biggest issue was cost. Without knowing what the trade compensation for the Super Bowl-winning quarterback would be, everyone was guessing. Those guesses ranged from first-round picks to late-round picks, with players tossed in there and plenty of random packages that include different variations of both.

Well, now they know. According to NFL insider Jordan Shcultz, the Rams are looking for a first-round pick in exchange for their quarterback. And that’s believed to be a starting point.

“Several teams, per league sources, have called L.A. about Stafford and the belief is a first-round pick would probably be the asking price should the Rams choose to make a deal,” Schultz wrote.

The Steelers would possibly be able to loop in Cooper Kupp for a trade package. The Los Angeles Rams do not wish to trade Stafford unless they have to, but are looking to move on from Kupp this offseason. A move Pittsburgh will likely consider as they plan to add to their wide receiver room.

Stafford just turned 37 years old, but took the Rams to the NFC Divisional Round of the playoffs this past season and continues to show he’s one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Pittsburgh will likely look at Fields or Wilson as their first options, but if they see an opening for Stafford, they could change course and use their first pick on a veteran QB.

Pennsylvania hunter charged after nearly shooting person, police say

A hunter in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was charged after nearly shooting a person, according to police.

Karen Gaus, 42, was arrested and charged with recklessly endangering another person and disorderly conduct in connection with the incident, officials said.

The Susquehanna Regional Police Department said in a news release that officers responded to Beattys Tollgate Road in East Donegal Township on Nov. 29 for a hunting complaint. Police said a homeowner was outside their residence when they heard multiple gunshots and a bullet passing by.

Officers began investigating and found Gaus nearby, who admitted that she was hunting and fired two shots at a deer in the direction of the victim’s home, according to the news release.

Gaus, according to court documents, is awaiting her preliminary hearing, which is scheduled for Jan. 12, 2026.

Pennsylvania’s firearms deer season ends on Saturday. It opened on Nov. 29 and included two Sundays: Nov. 30 and Dec. 7. Earlier this summer, Gov. Josh Shapiro signed a bill that reversed what state lawmakers called the “outdated” ban on Sunday hunting.

Before the firearms deer season began, the Game Commission said it expected more than 500,000 hunters would be out and about.

Giants release former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver

The New York Giants have released former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud, the team announced. McCloud was on their practice squad.

McCloud was released from the Atlanta Falcons earlier this season after being sent home by head coach Raheem Morris in a mysterious exit.

“I sent him home,” Morris said. “Excused absence — home. Working through some things right now that are private with my young man, and we’ll figure those things out as we go.”

The former Falcons wide receiver room has gone through ups and downs. They fired wide receivers coach Ike Hilliward in Week 3, a coach that McCloud is close with from his time with the Steelers. Hilliard coached McCloud for two seasons.

Morris said that McCloud’s issues have nothing to do with the fact that Hilliard was fired.

“This is between Ray-Ray, the organization and us and dealing with those things,” Morris said. “Nothing to do with that. It is just more a football thing and what we got to get straightened out.”

The former Steelers wide receiver is a valuable slot receiver who can also be a key cog on returns, but has floated around the NFL over the years trying to find a long-term home.
