Chiefs Secure Missouri Funding to Transform Arrowhead into NFL’s Largest Stadium

The Pittsburgh Steelers have officially released a veteran linebacker just one month after signing him, following what insiders described as “a pattern of poor attitude and lack of commitment.” The move came abruptly on October 7, signaling that head coach Mike Tomlin had finally run out of patience. The player, who joined the Steelers in early September, was initially brought in to bring leadership and stability to the defense. However, his performance and attitude reportedly fell far below team expectations. Coaches were said to be frustrated by his lack of urgency during practices and limited impact during games. That veteran was Ja’Whaun Bentley, who had been viewed as a potential locker-room leader. Instead, his approach to preparation and accountability quickly drew comparisons to George Pickens — immensely talented, but with behavior that has rubbed teammates the wrong way. Multiple players reportedly felt Bentley’s attitude “didn’t fit” the disciplined culture Pittsburgh prides itself on maintaining. Coach Mike Tomlin addressed the decision bluntly, saying, “I’m just too disappointed. We’ve got a standard here. And he didn’t meet it.” Sources inside the team confirm that Bentley’s release was a statement move — not just about performance, but about reinforcing what the Steelers call “The Standard.” Tomlin’s message was clear: talent means nothing without professionalism. As the team moves forward, this cut serves as a reminder that under Tomlin’s watch, no one is above accountability — and every player, no matter how experienced, is expected to meet the bar.
