‘We’ve Forgotten How Good He Was’: Vince Williams Thinks Pat Freiermuth Will ‘Remind’ People How Skilled He Is
Arthur Smith helped the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense improve slightly. However, his offense still had many issues, especially in how it deployed personnel at times. Pat Freiermuth is the biggest example of a player hindered by Smith’s scheme. While he had been a consistent weapon in Pittsburgh, he was used less often in 2025. There didn’t […]

‘One Last Chance’: Rich Eisen Picks Aaron Rodgers As QB Under Most Pressure
Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. He’s a four-time MVP, Super Bowl champion, and future inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. However, his career isn’t over yet.

‘Have No Real Plan’: Cowherd Argues Steelers’ Franchise QB Isn’t On The Roster
For teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers, who never pick in the top of the first round, it can be hard to find a franchise QB. It’s a problem the Steelers have tried to solve since Ben Roethlisberger retired. Heading into 2026, they might have their most intriguing youth in the room since Roethlisberger played his […]

Analyst Describes Why Steelers Might Be ‘The Right Spot’ For Brendan Sorsby: ‘Work On The Person’
There are plenty of NFL teams that might fancy Brendan Sorsby in this year’s supplemental draft. Teams with barren quarterback rooms, a lack of youth, or a need for a backup could all show interest. But for Sorsby’s long-term interests, one analyst believes the Steelers might be the best fit for him. “The right spot […]
Was ‘Trending In The Right Direction:’ Kevin Colbert Defends Drafting Kenny Pickett
Two things can be true at once. Kevin Colbert helped build some of the most successful Pittsburgh Steelers teams in franchise history, including two Super Bowl-championship ones and rosters loaded with Hall of Fame talent. But his final years as general manager contributed to a hole that Pittsburgh is still working to climb out of […]
History Says DK Metcalf Is Nearly Guaranteed To Have 1,000-Yard Season
Yesterday, we outlined three Pittsburgh Steelers in need of a bounce back season. Wide receiver DK Metcalf wasn’t on the list, but he certainly would qualify. Traded from Seattle and given a historically large contract, Metcalf’s first year was underwhelming: 59 receptions, 850 yards, and six touchdowns with the end of his season marred by […]
Labriola Explains Kaleb Johnson’s ‘Certain Path To A Roster Spot’
The Pittsburgh Steelers used a third-round pick on Kaleb Johnson back in 2025. Shortly after coming to Pittsburgh, the rookie was met with high expectations. Even in backfield with Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell, some thought he might seize the starting role during his rookie season. For many reasons, that didn’t happen. Johnson was shut […]
CBS Sports Outlines Steelers’ Best-, Worst-Case Scenarios In 2026
Based on how the Pittsburgh Steelers have conducted business this offseason under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy, there’s a belief internally that they are still in a competitive window and can compete for a Super Bowl.

Steelers 2026 Pre-Training Camp Roster Review — Running Back
The Steelers have left virtually no position on the roster untouched this offseason, and the running back group is no exception. Having experienced yet another one-and-done postseason exit, they are trying just about anything to achieve more favorable results.

Analyst Discusses His ‘One Concern’ With The Steelers’ Defense
The Steelers have made key investments to bolster their defense this offseason, but one analyst still has a particular concern. Specifically, it centers on the safeties and how the team will deploy them—and whether it will work. DeShon Elliott is returning from a season-ending injury a year ago. Pittsburgh also added former second-round pick Jaquan […]
ESPN Analyst Identifies One ‘Final’ Offseason Move Steelers Must Make
It has been a busy offseason for Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan. Not only did he hire a new head coach for the first time in his career, he also reshaped the roster in a major way, turning things over during new head coach Mike McCarthy’s first year. More than 30 new players joined the […]
‘Got To Be On The Same Page’: Darnell Washington Explains Ins And Outs Of Playing With Aaron Rodgers
It may be rewarding to play with a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers, Darnell Washington says, but it’s also a challenge. The fourth-year tight end has a fan in the future Hall of Famer, but it’s a fandom he had to earn. And that’s not just on the practice field or even in the stadium, but […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – CB Asante Samuel Jr.
Player: CB Asante Samuel Jr. Stock Value: Down Reasoning: If rookie third-round pick Daylen Everette proves a fast learner, it could cut into Asante Samuel Jr.’s playing opportunities. As of now, he is set to be the first cornerback off the bench. He might even play in the slot a bit, perhaps as the dime […]
Dulac Doubles Down On Belief Steelers Are ‘Going To Keep All Four’ Quarterbacks
Mike McCarthy has hinted—possibly joked—that the Steelers could carry four quarterbacks. Gerry Dulac believes, for now, that they will. Now, that’s an uncommon roster construction, or rather, very uncommon. But if ever there were a year for Pittsburgh to do that, now would certainly be the year. The Steelers’ four quarterbacks consist of a starter […]

When will the Steelers sign Keeanu Benton to an extension, and for how much? The Steelers have already signed three players to an extension this offseason, and Keeanu Benton seems the next in line.

Ryan Wilson Sees 11-6 As Steelers’ Best-Case Scenario, Including 8-0 Start ‘If They’re Red Hot’
The 2025 season was another disappointment for the Pittsburgh Steelers. While they won the AFC North for the first time since the 2020 season, they still didn’t win a playoff game.
