Doriane Pin says F1 dream is now a goal after Mercedes test

Scotty Miller attended Bears rookie minicamp on a tryout basis in an effort to get on the team's 90-man roster.

He's now able to say, "Mission accomplished."

Chicago has agreed to sign Miller, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. palladian.co.za

Miller, 28, spent the last two seasons with the Steelers. He caught nine passes for 62 yards in 2025.

Miller’s best season came in 2020, when he was part of the Bucs team that won Super Bowl LV. He caught 33 passes for 501 yards with three touchdowns that year, with another four receptions for 80 yard with a TD in the postseason.

The Vikings currently are looking for a new General Manager. They already have a coach.

On Friday, the coach was asked about the search.

"First and foremost, just out of respect for the process, it's currently ongoing, you know, I would defer . . . everything to ownership, and [Vikings COO] Andrew Miller as that process is ongoing," Kevin O'Connell said. "I'm excited for potentially forming that relationship, going through the process, and as much of a part as ownership and Andrew want me to be a part of it, I will. . . . [V]ery much looking forward to a great outcome, which I know we're gonna get."

O'Connell was asked whether he'll be talking to the candidates to be interviewed by the organization.

"In whatever capacity that ownership and Andrew have for me as their plan, that's what I'm gonna do," O'Connell said. "You know, obviously, it's an important time. It's important. It's clearly an important hire, but I have so much respect in the process-driven, the process-oriented aspect of not only our ownership, but Andrew Miller, that I know we're gonna get to that good outcome."

It's definitely important. And it's critical that the new General Manager and O'Connell will be fully aligned. It needs to be a team effort. The G.M. must acquire players the coaching staff wants, and keep the players the coaching staff needs. There needs to be little or no daylight between the G.M. and coach.

The biggest question is whether the new G.M. will report to O'Connell, whether O'Connell will report to the new G.M., or whether they'll be deemed as equal in the eyes of ownership.

Regardless, O'Connell is the proven commodity. He has a record of 43-25 in four seasons, with a 13-win season in 2022 and a 14-win effort in 2024. And he did it with a G.M. whom ownership decided to fire after the 2025 season.

The best organizations have a G.M. and coach who are fully on the same page. When adversity strikes (and it will), they need to work even more closely together. For some teams, losing results in finger pointing and infighting. The coach blames the G.M., and the G.M. blames the coach. One goes, one stays.

That's recently happened in Minnesota. Not because the team lost too many games, but because the team has failed to fulfill the potential it has shown since O'Connell became the head coach. That alone should give O'Connell a little more juice going forward.

When Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love recently put pen to paper on his rookie contract, he secured the biggest full guarantee of any running back in NFL history. And while some will argue that the contract sets a new bar for full guarantees at the running back position, the truth is that the compensation package reflects not the fact that he's a running back but the fact that he was the third overall pick in the draft.

Rookie deals are driven not by position on the field but by position in the draft process. Anyone taken in that spot would have gotten the same deal. It wouldn't have mattered whether he was a running back, quarterback, defensive end, or any other position. The contract comes from where the player was picked, not where he lines up or how often he plays.

That said, the Cardinals were willing to make the financial investment that went with picking Love third. They could have taken a running back later in the draft, and paid him a lot less. Picking Love with the third selection comes with the price of committing to a four-year, $53 million contract. And because all first-round picks are fully guaranteed for four years, he gets it all.

When it's time for veteran running backs to renegotiate their current contracts or become free agents, the Love deal won't be part of the analysis. It wasn't negotiated based on the market at the position. It was automatic, a reflection only of the fact that he was the third overall pick.

The average payout of $13.25 million per year puts him at seventh among all running backs. Jets running back Breece Hall, whose new deal with the Jets includes only $29 million guaranteed, will make $15.25 million per year — four spots ahead of Love.

The contract for Love that will become relevant to the market is his second one. It will be determined by the market at the position at the time the Cardinals offer him a second contract (if/when they do).
