Latest news and updates about the Steelers
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.

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 […]

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.

[…]
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 […]
Add another national media skeptic to the growing list of doubters surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers entering the 2026 season. While appearing on The Arena podcast, longtime sports analyst and former ESPN and FS1 personality Skip Bayless made it clear that he doesn’t believe Pittsburgh will return to the postseason this year. Bayless pointed to the Steelers’ late-season […]

One of the new trends for NFL offenses is to utilize multiple tight ends. As teams try to create mismatches against defenders in coverage, versatile tight ends who take advantage of their size but are also capable blockers are especially valuable. Look no further than the 2026 NFL Draft, where a record 21 tight ends […]
“You can take the people outta Pittsburgh, but you will never take the Pittsburgh out of people,” Bill Cowher said on Christian Kuntz’s podcast about head coach Mike McCarthy, acknowledging that the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ new head coach fell right back into being a Yinzer soon after getting the job.

I can carry a cynical streak. As much as I attempt to be fair and optimistic, my glass tends to be closer to half empty than half full. Still, when it comes to the state of the Pittsburgh Steelers and their roster, things look about as good as they could. I have my quibbles. I […]
Training camp is five weeks away. The Pittsburgh Steelers rookie class is about to put on the pads, prepare for their first preseason game, and the evaluation of the group will earnestly begin. The large 10-man draft class is ready to go. Almost, anyway. Quarterback Drew Allar still hasn’t signed his rookie contract, making him […]

The line you’ll hear over the next several weeks is the Pittsburgh Steelers have never selected a player in the Supplemental Draft. It would make QB Brendan Sorsby the first, should Pittsburgh go down that road. That is mostly true. In the Supplemental Draft as we know it today, the team hasn’t made a pick. […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a medley of moves throughout this offseason, making a notable trade for the third consecutive offseason. After trading for Justin Fields in 2024 and the trio of DK Metcalf, Jonnu Smith, and Jalen Ramsey in 2025, Pittsburgh acquired wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr this past March. Even with the Pittman […]
