QB Graveyard Grows: Garrett Eyes Rodgers for Halloween Hit List
The Pittsburgh Steelers fan base isn’t very fond of Cleveland Browns star pass rusher Myles Garrett. This rivalry has intensified over the years, but it boiled over in the 2023 season when TJ Watt felt he was robbed of the Defensive Player of the Year Award. Garrett reportedly took offense to Watt not supporting him for the honor, adding fuel to an already heated rivalry between the two elite pass rushers.
Now, every time Garrett faces the Steelers, he seems extra motivated to make a statement and quiet the home crowd. Playing Pittsburgh at Acrisure Stadium gives him even more incentive, he claims, and he often plays with a chip on his shoulder during these matchups. Steelers fans have come to expect Garrett to bring his best whenever the Browns roll into Pittsburgh, knowing he thrives on the energy of the rivalry.
Speaking to the Cleveland media on Friday, Garrett made it clear he is already looking forward to the next showdown. He specifically called out Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, saying he is eager to add Rodgers to his graveyard of quarterbacks he has sacked. With Garrett’s intensity and competitive fire, Steelers fans will once again be bracing for a brutal day on the field when Cleveland comes to town. However, they are hopeful their offensive line can quiet the Browns' stout front seven.
"I mean he’s a great one," Garrett said in regards to sacking Aaron Rodgers. "He will probably get propped up a little bit higher than some of the others. It would be an honor to put him in the graveyard and definitely a lot of respect for him and what he has done in his career. He’s special."
This isn’t the first time Garrett has commented about putting the four-time league MVP in his graveyard. It is a fascinating concept, as Garrett actually maintains a graveyard on his lawn. It is an annual Halloween display he created to show off the elite quarterbacks he has sacked. Garrett even mentioned that sacking Ben Roethlisberger remains one of his favorite tombstones among the legendary quarterbacks he has taken down.
Steelers insider Mark Kaboly ripped into Garrett when he made similar comments back in June about putting Rodgers in his graveyard. Kaboly told Garrett to shut up and focus on winning. It was a fair statement, but clearly Garrett does not care. He will be hunting to add the future Hall of Fame quarterback to his resume on Sunday.
Steelers' Offensive Line Will Work Hard To Protect Aaron Rodgers
The Steelers offensive line will be working hard to make sure that does not happen. With Garrett’s competitive fire and his flair for the dramatic, Pittsburgh knows this matchup is going to be about more than just points on the board. It is personal and it is one of the most anticipated defensive showdowns of the season.
Steelers fans will be watching every snap closely, knowing Garrett is likely to bring his most intense pass-rushing game. The battle in the trenches could decide the outcome and set the tone for this heated rivalry.
Ultimately, it is more than just a game. It is a clash of two elite players, pride, and bragging rights. Garrett’s graveyard may be more than a Halloween display, and the Steelers will do everything they can to make sure their quarterback does not end up in it. If the Steelers' offensive line can keep Rodgers clean in this contest, it will give fans a reason for real optimism moving forward.
Do you have confidence that the Steelers' offensive line can slow down Myles Garrett and the Browns' front seven Sunday? Why or why not?
Cowboys Trade Proposal Sends Raheem Mostert to Dallas for Sixth-Round Pick
The Dallas Cowboys backfield looks a bit different now that Miles Sanders is done for the year.
Javonte Williams has been on fire to start the season, and he’s currently third overall in the NFL in rushing yards heading into Week 6 (447). Sanders was the Cowboys’ second-leading rusher behind him (117 yards and a touchdown), while QB Dak Prescott is the team’s third-leading rusher.
With rookie Jaydon Blue and fullback Hunter Luepke the only other RBs to register carries this year (they have five total rushes between them), Dallas should absolutely be exploring its RB options before the trade deadline.
We think Raiders running back Raheem Mostert, who is sitting behind Ashton Jeanty on the depth chart, would make a great choice.
A Look Back at Mostert’s NFL Career Thus Far
Mostert, 33, signed a one-year deal with Las Vegas in March after his release from Miami. His cap hit is just $1.6 million in 2025, which is one reason he’s such an attractive trade option: he wouldn’t have a huge contract, and he wouldn’t cost much in draft capital.
He’s past his prime, but he’s still producing — and few active backs have a postseason legacy as memorable as Mostert’s. He exploded for 220 rushing yards and four touchdowns in the 2019 NFC Championship Game while with the 49ers. That wasn’t a one-off, either.
He topped 1,000 rushing yards and led the league with 21 total touchdowns in 2023, proving that even into his 30s, he remains a back capable of making a difference.
His current situation in Las Vegas also makes him a logical trade candidate. Mostert’s workload has been light through five games — he has just 11 carries for 84 yards, but is averaging a whopping 7.6 yards per carry — as the Raiders have prioritized No. 6 overall pick Jeanty. If a contender calls with a Day 3 pick, the Raiders would have little reason to say no.
Cowboys Trade Proposal Sends RB Raheem Mostert to Dallas for 6th-Round Pick
The Cowboys could really use a back of Mostert’s talents, and they’ll likely be looking to add to their RBs room soon.
“The loss of Sanders leaves the Cowboys rather thin at the position, with only fullback Hunter Luepke and practice-squadder Malik Davis behind Williams and Blue. Rookie Phil Mafah remains on short-term injured reserve and has yet to get into his first regular-season game,” Todd Brock of Cowboys Wire wrote on October 10.
“The NFL’s trade deadline is Nov. 4; it’s entirely possible that going out and making a move for an experienced ballcarrier just became a priority for the Cowboys as they sit on a very tenuous 2-2-1 record.”
At 1–4, Las Vegas is trending toward seller status as the trade deadline approaches. Moving a 33-year-old on an expiring contract for mid- or late-round capital feels likely — particularly considering Mostert has been a healthy scratch at times this season.
So, what might a trade for Mostert cost the Cowboys? We think a conditional 2026 sixth-round pick that would bump to a fifth based on snap counts or yards gained would do it.
Adding Mostert won’t solve everything for the Cowboys, but it would give them a solid RB2 option behind Williams, along with a proved performer in the postseason.
