Latest news and updates about the Steelers
Last week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans which nationally-televised game on the 2026 schedule they’re most excited to watch. Nearly half of the respondents chose the Week 14 home matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Beyond the fact that this is the only 2026 primetime game that will be played at EverBank Stadium, the Jacksonville-Pittsburgh rivalry is as […]
Welcome back to the Steelers offseason, where the demand for content remains high even if there’s not always enough news to properly supply it. In some ways, it’s not the best time of year to be a football writer. But in a glass-half-full way, it’s an excuse to fill out my article quota with more […]
X-factor: It’s a term we use a lot in sports for some reason, generally as a way to describe a variable that could swing either way in a game or season, often determining whether the result is a success or a failure. For the Steelers in 2026, there are a lot of potential names or […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers will look drastically different this season, starting at the top with new head coach Mike McCarthy roaming the sidelines. With so many fresh faces, expectations for different players in Pittsburgh are difficult to pin down. But if the Steelers are going to make noise in the AFC, several players will need to […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers tight end room has quietly become one of the more intriguing position groups on the roster heading into 2026 — and at least one national analyst believes it deserves much more attention. In a recent ranking of the NFL’s top tight end units, Bucky Brooks placed the Steelers fifth overall, citing the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been one of the least innovative teams in the NFL over the last number of years, specifically on the defensive side of the ball. Their predictability on defense was emblematic of the final years of the Mike Tomlin era, which led to mediocre-to-good regular seasons but consistent failures in the postseason. […]
In the NFL’s highly-structured offseason, it’s hard to be ahead of schedule. But this year, the Steelers offense is slightly ahead of where it was in 2025. Last spring, starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers didn’t sign with the Steelers until June, missing organized team actives (OTAs) entirely. But in 2026, while Rodgers still took some time […]
The Steelers have freed up some cap space entering the summer. According to a report from PennLive’s Nick Farabaugh, Pittsburgh has restructured tight end Pat Freiermuth’s contract by converting some of his salary into a signing bonus. “He’s basically getting paid nearly $6M in a lump sum,” Farabaugh wrote in a reply on X. “It […]
Live from Delaware, it’s Saturday Night! I, NAS204PSU, am here at BTSC to bring you this Saturday Night Open Thread (aka SNOT). It’s Memorial Day weekend, and many of us in the USA get to enjoy an extra long weekend, even if it’s a rainy/dreary one for those of us in the Northeast. A federal holiday just […]
The writing is on the wall for Mason Rudolph. As the Pittsburgh Steelers began OTAs this past week, it was Will Howard taking QB2 reps while Rudolph was QB3. With the Steelers also adding Drew Allar in the third round of the draft, it certainly looks like Mason Rudolph will be the odd man out […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers quietly have a very good running back room. While they won’t get the mass attention of Saquon Barkley or Bijan Robinson, Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle are the only duo in the NFL t0 have both rushed for 1,000 yards in 2025. Because of the one-two punch Pittsburgh has in its backfield, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers had what was, for them, a standard season in 2025. The team won just enough games to run Mike Tomlin’s streak of seasons without a losing record to 19 en route to the playoffs. But as has also become the norm, the Steelers were one-and-done in the playoffs for the sixth consecutive […]
Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread: This week’s song rec:
The front part of the 2026 schedule for the Indianapolis Colts is loaded: Ravens, Chiefs, Texans, and Steelers headline the toughest matchups. Going to Minnesota and hosting Dallas could be problematic as well. One would also be remiss to ignore the road game in Jacksonville in Week 8. The first half of this thing is […]
A standout matchup for the New Orleans Saints in 2026 is against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to the number of storylines. For the first time, NFL teams will be playing in Paris, and with the Saints holding exclusive international rights in France, they were able to participate in this game. Then, Kellen Moore is going […]
The Steelers got back on the training field this week as the organization held its first week of OTAs.

Despite suffering a career-ending spinal injury in 2017, former Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier has made sure to stay around football. Shazier was seen assisting Pittsburgh’s scouts in 2018, and he later made the move to coaching, contributing as a Steelers intern on offense in 2024. Then, in 2025, he moved to his current role: an […]
After being acquired via trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers last year, George Pickens proved to be one of the best wide receivers in the entire league, catching 93 passes for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. His dominance in 2025 made him a first-time Pro Bowl player in the final year of his rookie contract, but […]

Their first practice will take place Wednesday, July 29. The team’s first full padded practice will take place on Monday, August 3. The annual night practice at Latrobe Memorial Stadium […]
Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Isaiahh Loudermilk is signing with the Minnesota Vikings, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. He joins former Steelers teammate James Pierre, who also signed with Minnesota this offseason. Loudermilk was drafted by the Steelers in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Wisconsin. In four seasons with the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off OTAs this week, which also marked the return of Aaron Rodgers for his second season with the organization.

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback told reporters Wednesday that he plans to retire at the end of 2026, ending what will be a 22-year NFL career. “Yes. This is it,” Rodgers said when asked directly whether this would be [...]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have already shaken things up in the Mike McCarthy era. With OTAs beginning this past Monday, the alignment of the offensive line looks very different than it did in 2025. Tory Fautanu and Mason McCormick were moved to the left side, with Fautanu playing left tackle and McCormick at guard. Dylan Cook […]
Steelers offensive tackle Broderick Jones spoke to the media during OTAs Wednesday, providing some clarity — but not much — regarding a neck injury that’s made him limited to start the 2026 offseason. “I really don’t have a timeline, they never gave me a timeline,” Jones said via the Pat McAfee show’s Mark Kaboly when […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers came to terms with Aaron Rodgers on a one-year, $22 million deal earlier this week. Leading up to the agreement, NFL fans were unsure whether Rodgers would return or retire.
