For the NFL, it's March 10th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed running back Rico Doudal to team up with Jalen Warren. The deal is for two years and $12,250,000, with an average of $6,125,000 per per season. This move came after Kenneth Gainwell joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a two-year $14,000,000 contract. Those pay fall short of Warren's average of just over $7,000,000 for the next two years. Doudal brings size at 6 feet and 215 pounds, perfect for short yardage work that Pittsburgh missed last season. His back-to-back thousand-yard rushing years, from Carolina and Dallas, filled that gap nicely. Meanwhile, pairing him with Warren's speed on passing downs and explosive runs creates balance. Caleb Johnson rounds out the group as the third option for the 2026 season. Pittsburgh started a free agency with $52,000,000 in cap space.
After this signing, treading for Michael Pittman Jr. and resigning Asante Samuel Jr. and Cole Holcomb, about $16,000,000 remains, expect more roster tweaks through restructures.
