Source: Pryor’s agent met with Steelers about team taking a flier on the QB turned receiver
PRYOR TO WORKOUT FOR [hide] STEELERS? Agent Drew Rosenhaus met with Steelers GM Kevin Colbert on Thursday in Foxborough, according to a league source. Rosenhaus discussed with top club officials about the team taking a flier on QB turned receiver Terrell Pryor.

Extension Candidate: Penguins open to extending David Perron?
EXTENSION CANDIDATE The Pittsburgh Penguins gave up a steep price for David Perron last January in what ended up being the 16th overall pick in the deepest NHL draft in 12 years. Is it even worse asset management to let Perron walk for nothing next summer? “He [David Perron] could be here for six [hide] to seven years,” Jim Rutherford said in January following the trade.
