Troy Fautanu Named ‘Breakout’ Candidate By Former NFL Lineman

The Steelers have very quietly started to accumulate a good amount of young talent. Some of those players have broken out already, like Jaylen Warren and Zach Frazier, and former NFL offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz believes Troy Fautanu will do the same this season. On a recent episode of The GM Shuffle, Schwartz rattled off […]

Beat Writer Shares Interesting Detail About Pittsburgh’s Guard Depth Chart

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. […]

‘He’s Pouring Into Me’: Germie Bernard Says Aaron Rodgers Sees His ‘Potential’ As Rookie

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. […]

‘Don’t Need A Media Circus’: Vince Williams Wants Steelers To ‘Stay As Far Away’ From Brendan Sorsby As Possible

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 […]

Depot Debate: Which Non-QB Can Pittsburgh Least Afford To Lose?

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 […]

One Fix Could Return The Steelers’ Defense To Top-10 Form

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 […]

Batch Expects ‘Big Time’ Improvement In Chemistry Between Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf

The Pittsburgh Steelers worked quickly last offseason to make DK Metcalf their first big addition. A few months later, they paired him with Aaron Rodgers in hopes the two could form a connection strong enough to carry the offense. Neither were bad, but for many reasons, that connection wasn’t enough to lift the unit on […]

With Mike McCarthy, A Top-10 Offense Is Within Pittsburgh’s Reach

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 […]

Steelers 2026 Pre-Training Camp Roster Review — Offensive Tackle

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 […]

‘Looked Good:’ In Tight Safety Battle, DeFabo Offers High Marks For Rookie Robert Spears-Jennings

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 […]

Will Troy Fautanu Develop Into A Pro Bowler At Left Tackle?

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 […]

McCorkle: Pittsburgh Steelers 2026 53-Man Roster Prediction (Pre-Training Camp)

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, […]

Former Steelers Linebacker Shares Story Of Being Lured To Cowboys

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. […]

Steelers Tight End Room Praised As One Of Football’s Best

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 […]

Where Will Pittsburgh Pick In The Supplemental Draft?

The NFL’s Supplemental Draft isn’t widely understood. In part because it’s hardly existed. The last draft was held in 2023, and the last player selected in one occurred back in 2019 when the Arizona Cardinals nabbed S Jalen Thompson in the fifth round. Its basics are easy enough. Teams submit bids for the player, and […]

Kozora: This Steelers Roster Looks Pretty Darn Good

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 […]
