Not necessarily. Look at what the 49ers and Eagles have done with Brock Purdy and Jalen Hurts, respectively. Neither has gotten over the Mahomes hump, but they made the deepest of runs.

Hi Brian…might the Steelers have any interest in signing Queen from Baltimore/Sneed from Kansas City?  Thanks.

It's gonna be tough to sign a big-ticket free agent, especially on defense, with all the cap resources already invested in Watt, Heyward, Fitzpatrick, Highsmith. I think Queen is more likely because of his position. L'Jarius Sneed is great, don't get me wrong, but Joey Porter Jr. looks like he's gonna be that shut-down No. 1 corner for years to come. The whole idea of finding that type of player in the draft is so you don't have to pay a boatload of money to one.

What pop star could Pickett date to help him be the QB we all hoped he'd be?

Well, Kenny Pickett is married, so I'm gonna dismiss that idea. But Nate Herbig played alongside and learned a lot from Jason Kelce in Philly, so it might be up to Nick Herbig to follow in the footsteps of Travis to turn the Herbig brothers into the next NFL sibling power duo. Hopefully Nick has Olivia Rodrigo's number.

BB, I openly wept watching the Jagr festivities, and I can't help but wonder if I am a great candidate to have such an extravagant forgive and forget celebratory weekend 15 years down the road. Your thoughts, if any?

They should bring back you, AB, Le'Veon, Melvin Ingram, LeGarrette Blount and Arthur Maulet for one big chance to bury the hatchet.

OK folks, that seems like a good one to end on. If you disagree, I am truly sorry. Please enjoy the rest of your day.
