Here are the most interesting stories Tuesday in the AFC North:
- Pittsburgh Steelers receiver and Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes tells the Sporting News he's looking for more opportunities and production.
Morning take: Holmes, who has yet to have a 1,000-yard season, should be able to eclipse that mark this year if he's consistent and continues the momentum from his Super Bowl performance.
- Mike Preston of the Baltimore Sun says the Ravens are officially John Harbaugh's team.
Morning take: One of the best things to happen in Baltimore was that Harbaugh and Ray Lewis hit it off early and developed a mutual respect. Once Lewis bought into the new program, a lot of other things fell into place.
- From the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Bengals signed rookie seventh-round pick Clinton McDonald.
Morning take: A rookie seems to get signed almost daily in the AFC North, which is a good trend this summer.
- Steve Doerschuk of the Canton Repository writes Cleveland Browns left tackle Joe Thomas, 24, is becoming a veteran.
Morning take: Even as a rookie, Thomas never looked lost and always had a veteran presence. By the way, he's also great at fishing.
