Latest news and updates about the Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been stuck in quarterback purgatory for the past few seasons. However, they still haven’t been as bad off as the Cleveland Browns. The Browns have been searching for a franchise quarterback since they returned in 1999. Currently, it’s unclear who will start for them in 2026. It seems like Shedeur Sanders […]
Every offseason, a familiar psychological bias takes hold in the NFL. Rookies arrive as unknowns, and fans fill in the blanks with optimism. Before playing a snap, fans see rookies as fast-track solutions to improve the starting lineup. Sometimes that’s the case, like with Zach Frazier, and other times it’s not, like with Kaleb Johnson. […]
Bengals Bengals QB Joe Burrow has been fond of how the team has operated this season following his restructure and trade for DT Dexter Lawrence: “The front office has taken a lot of heat from the fans, the public, the media. We can put all of that behind us. They went and made it happen.” […] The post AFC Notes: Joe Burrow, Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson, Bengals, Browns, Steelers appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .
Mike Tomlin was a fixture in the NFL, coaching the Pittsburgh Steelers for almost 20 years. He was one of the league’s most successful head coaches, winning a Super Bowl and never having a losing season. However, he struggled in the postseason over the last decade, and he stepped down this offseason. Despite that, the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are hoping second-round WR Germie Bernard can make an immediate impact in 2026. If history is any indication, that can be difficult with Aaron Rodgers as the quarterback. Even some of his most trusted targets, including Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, and Davante Adams, produced relatively quiet rookie seasons before blossoming into stars. […]
The Athletic's Mike DeFabo reported Pittsburgh Steelers seventh-round rookie Robert Spears-Jennings is pushing for a roster spot on Mike McCarthy's defense. The post Steelers Under-the-Radar Big Rookie Pushing for Role on Mike McCarthy’s Defense appeared first on HEAVY .
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback room looked set for 2026 after Aaron Rodgers rejoined them. In fact, it seems like they have too many signal callers, with the team unlikely to carry four on their 53-man roster. However, that isn’t stopping speculation that the Steelers could select quarterback Brendan Sorsby in the supplemental draft. While Sorsby […]
2025 was a rough season for Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth. After what was a career-best season in 2024 where he caught a career-high 65 passes and seven touchdowns, the Penn State product saw his time on the field take a significant hit. Freiermuth played in just 51 percent of offensive snaps, by far […]
Quarterback Kenny Pickett came to the Pittsburgh Steelers with plenty of hype after the franchise used the No. 20 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on him. However, he lasted just two years with the franchise. At the time, Kevin Colbert was the Steelers general manager. To him, Pickett’s selection still made perfect sense, […] The post Ex-GM defends Steelers’ Kenny Pickett draft pick despite bust status appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Continuing our Steelers Depot debate offseason series, who can the Pittsburgh Steelers least afford to lose to a long-term injury? Putting quarterback aside, the answers might be as varied as ever. Does T.J. Watt still take the top spot? Is it someone else defensively? Or is a name on offense more valuable? Ross McCorkle, Jake […]
For years, Mike Tomlin preached the importance of winning the weighty downs. In 2025, that was an area where the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense consistently came up short. What should have been a strength on third-and-long—with one of the NFL’s highest-paid pass-rushing tandems—instead became a glaring weakness that contributed to the unit’s disappointing season. The numbers […]
Everybody knows Mike McCarthy’s reputation is built on offense, which is why so much attention has centered on what he can do for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ attack in 2026. But even with the excitement surrounding his arrival, his track record may still be getting undersold. Few coaches can match the sustained offensive success McCarthy has […]
Four Super Bowl rings and two Super Bowl MVPs. A Hall of Fame career that helped turn the Pittsburgh Steelers into the NFL’s gold standard. With that kind of success, there should have been an eternal adoration between the Steelers and Terry Bradshaw. Instead, the former quarterback made it a point to let the world […] The post Terry Bradshaw Addresses Beef With Pittsburgh Amid Years of Harsh Criticism From Steelers Fans appeared first on EssentiallySports .
The Steelers have left virtually no position on the roster untouched this offseason, and the offensive tackle group is no exception. Having experienced yet another one-and-done postseason exit, they are trying just about anything to achieve more favorable results. With bold swings via trade, shrewd free-agent signings, and a clear draft priority, the 2026 Steelers are […]
Long before Jerome Bettis stood on a stage in Canton wearing a gold jacket, the Steelers icon had a much simpler goal. Football wasn’t a lifelong dream. For Bettis, the sport was just a means to have something ready for him in the immediate future. “I just played football so I could get a scholarship,” […] The post “I Didn’t Even Want to Play In the NFL”: Steelers Legend Makes Honest Career Admission Years After Retirement appeared first on EssentiallySports .
While the Steelers like Sebastian Castro, will rookie S Robert Spears-Jennings force them to make a difficult choice? Ideally, every team would like to carry 10 or more defensive backs. Practicalities, however, often dictate fewer, as the Steelers carried nine last year, for example. It’s just one of the reasons teams emphasize versatility, which is […]
The Steelers made sure they had a No. 2 WR this year, but who will be WR No. 3—Roman Wilson or rookie Germie Bernard? Through the spring, Wilson, the third-year veteran, has spent a lot of time with the first-team offense. Bernard, a second-round pick, still has plenty of time to catch up before the […]
Will Troy Fautanu develop into a Pro Bowler at left tackle? The Steelers haven’t developed an offensive lineman into a Pro Bowler since Alejandro Villanueva; will Troy Fautanu be next? Now, Pittsburgh did have a recent Pro Bowler in Isaac Seumalo, but they earn no credit for developing him. Fautanu is a third-year former first-round […]
Steelers Now's Alan Saunders predicted seventh-round rookie Eli Heidenreich to miss the cut for the Pittsburgh Steelers 53-man roster. The post Steelers New Fan Favorite Pegged Cut Candidate appeared first on HEAVY .
In just two months from now, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be required to cut their 90-man offseason roster down to 53. With OTAs and mandatory minicamp in the rearview mirror, we can now make a slightly more educated guess on who will ultimately stick. With one of the deepest and most talented rosters in quite some time, […]
Brendan Sorsby has applied for the NFL’s Supplemental Draft. Reportedly, the Pittsburgh Steelers, among other quarterback-needy teams, are circling. But the closer the Steelers connection gets, the louder the questions around Sorsby seem to grow. Per First Round Mock’s Daniel Kelly, Sorsby was “hot-headed” and “borderline insubordinate” on his list of flaws in the QB’s […] The post “Hothead… Insubordinate”: Multiple Concerns Around Brendan Sorsby’s NFL Future Emerge Amid Steelers Rumors app...

Courtesy of Jimmy Johnson, former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Vinson Smith learned a valuable lesson about the business of the NFL. Entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 1988 with the Atlanta Falcons, Smith caught on with the Steelers in 1989 and battled for a roster spot until suffering an injury during the preseason. […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been searching for their answer at quarterback ever since Ben Roethlisberger retired following the 2021 season. Their first swing of the bat came in the 2022 NFL Draft when they selected Kenny Pickett from the University of Pittsburgh in the first round. Pickett had 42 touchdowns in his fifth and final […]
The NFL is usually a bottom-line league. Coaches and front offices are judged on their ability to produce postseason wins. When reality doesn’t meet expectations, teams are quick to move on from leadership in the hopes the next guy will provide the right results. On this front, the Pittsburgh Steelers have always operated differently. What […]
