Kaboly Predicts Terms Of Joey Porter Jr.’s Contract Extension
It’s been a busy offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers on many fronts. But they’ve still got one large hurdle ahead in contract negotiations with Joey Porter Jr. The young cornerback has proven himself as one of the best in the league. As of now, Pittsburgh doesn’t seem especially close with him in negotiations. But when […]
‘That Was An Aha Moment’: Former Steelers LB Levon Kirkland Shares When Things Finally Clicked For Him
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a rich history at linebacker. They’ve seen several players at that position go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They’ve also had linebackers who weren’t quite on that level but were still great players, including Levon Kirkland. The Steelers drafted him in the second round in 1992, and he became […]
James Harrison Offers His Solution To Get Joey Porter Jr. Deal Done
This time of the NFL year is usually quiet, with training camp still a month away. However, the Pittsburgh Steelers still have some business they need to get done.

Drew Allar Feeling ‘A Lot More Comfortable’ With Reworked Footwork
Shortly after the Pittsburgh Steelers picked Penn State quarterback Drew Allar in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterbacks coach Tom Arth started stripping him down to the studs to rebuild him. Footwork is the big emphasis with Allar, and it’s what he focused primarily on this offseason […]
Steelers 2026 Pre-Training Camp Roster Review — Inside Linebacker
The Steelers have left virtually no position on their roster untouched this offseason, and the inside linebacker group is no exception. Having experienced yet another one-and-done postseason, 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 taking […]
‘Lot Of Question Marks’: Safety Is Steelers’ Position That Trai Essex Has ‘Most Concern About’
The 2025 Pittsburgh Steelers authored another disappointing chapter in the franchise’s recent history. While they won their division, they failed to win a playoff game. It also marked Mike Tomlin’s final season as the Steelers’ head coach. Despite that, the team is still committed to competing for a Super Bowl in 2026. The Steelers made […]
Ray Fittipaldo Sees ‘Perfect Way’ To Play Max Iheanachor Even If He’s Not Starting
Max Iheanachor may not win a starting job right away as a rookie, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t be on the field. The Steelers have a longstanding tradition of using extra offensive linemen, especially with young, up-and-coming draft picks. Spencer Anderson has been the most recent one in that role, but it really […]
Joey Porter Jr.’s Agent Provides Latest Wrinkle In Steelers’ Contract Negotiations
By all accounts, the Pittsburgh Steelers and CB Joey Porter Jr. aren’t close to a contract extension. Whenever Omar Khan and Cole Marcoux sit down to hammer out details of the deal, they’ll be dealing with an agency, not just an agent. Per Inside the League’s Neil Stratton, the top insider for all things scouting […]
Beat Writer Debates What Steelers Might Do With Jalen Ramsey In Base Defense, Including Resting
When the Steelers line up in their base defense, where will Jalen Ramsey be—and could he be on the sideline? In DeShon Elliott and Jaquan Brisker, Pittsburgh has two quality full-time starting safeties. But they’re paying Ramsey top dollar, and generally speaking, that comes with a maximalist approach to one’s workload. It seems unlikely that […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2026 offseason practices concluded in the middle of June, and next up is the team’s annual training camp, which will get underway in late July at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe.

Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – WR Kaden Wetjen
Player: WR Kaden Wetjen Stock Value: Even Reasoning: Despite lackluster spring reports about how Kaden Wetjen has fit into the offense, it means little right now. First and foremost, it’s not why he’s in Pittsburgh in the first place. He’s here to be a kick and punt returner, and there’s not much work in that department […]
Steve Palazzolo Speculates On Mason Rudolph Value In Potential Trade
If the Steelers decide Will Howard is their backup quarterback, what could they trade Mason Rudolph for in compensation? Barring injury, it’s hard to envision a scenario in which both are on the 53-man roster. With starter Aaron Rodgers and rookie third-rounder Drew Allar already in the picture, most assume it’s one or the other. […]
‘I Didn’t Get The Best Out Of Lamar’: Todd Monken Reflects On Missed Opportunities With Jackson, Ravens
Todd Monken spent the last three years keeping Lamar Jackson upright—now his job is to help bring him down. After serving as the Ravens’ offensive coordinator, he is now the Browns’ head coach. Baltimore fired HC John Harbaugh after last season, and with him the coaching staff. Monken knew as well as anybody that failure […]
Could A Snag Prevent A Joey Porter Jr. Extension This Offseason?
Could a snag prevent a Joey Porter Jr. extension this offseason? Reports hint at potential snags in a contract extension between Joey Porter Jr. and the Steelers. Could that prevent the two sides from reaching a deal this offseason? Presumably, the organization still has a hard-and-fast rule about no in-season contract talks, providing a hard […]

‘It’s Doable’: Steve Palazzolo Thinks Steelers Could Stash Will Howard On Their Practice Squad
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ backup quarterback battle may be the most interesting storyline heading into training camp. One way or another, they have a decision to make.

‘That’s Not Happening’: James Harrison Wants Steelers To Steer Clear Of WR Brandon Aiyuk
The Pittsburgh Steelers spent the last few offseasons trying to upgrade at wide receiver.

One Current, One Former Steeler Named To PFF’s ‘All-Undrafted Team’
The Pittsburgh Steelers are notoriously stingy spenders on undrafted free agents. But that doesn’t mean the team doesn’t occasionally find a diamond in the rough. Heading into the 2026 NFL season, PFF put together a team of the best undrafted free agents, and two players the Steelers signed made the list. RB Jaylen Warren was […]
Beat Writer Explains Why Steelers Might Find It ‘Tough’ To Sign A Veteran WR: ‘Unless They Have No Other Option’
It was critically important for the Pittsburgh Steelers to address the wide receiver position this offseason. The lack of quality wide receivers was a major reason for the Steelers’ marginal offensive success last season. The Steelers made two significant additions in Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard. Yet some would still like to add another veteran WR […]
