‘Proven Worthy Of The Investment’: Analyst Sees QB Drew Allar As Potential ‘Heir Apparent’
It’s no secret that the Pittsburgh Steelers need to find their next franchise quarterback. They’ve been stuck in quarterback purgatory since future Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season. So, when the Steelers under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy — who was hired specifically to solve the QB situation — selected Penn […]
‘What A Steal’: Former Steelers Defenders Gush Over Gabriel Rubio’s Potential
Gabriel Rubio was such an unknown prospect coming out of college that the NFL didn’t have a stock photo of him to use for graphics during the 2026 NFL Draft. Now he’s on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ initial 53-man roster as one of seven defensive linemen. Two former Steelers talked at length about his potential Monday […]

ESPN Projects Pair Of Steelers To Be Top-100 Players In 2026 Season
The Pittsburgh Steelers had two players land inside the NFL’s Top 100 players rankings over the summer, with defensive back Jalen Ramsey and outside linebacker T.J. Watt cracking the list. Surprisingly a couple of others were left off the list that was voted on by players, but based on ESPN’s prediction for the 2026 season, […]
‘Still At A Standoff’: Garafolo Expects Porter To Continue ‘Back Injury’ Hold-In Despite PUP Activation
Joey Porter Jr. was activated from the PUP list Sunday after passing his physical, which would seemingly indicate his back injury is no longer an issue. But according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, that might not actually be the case—or at least not the whole story—as Porter’s contract standoff with the Steelers continues. “Medically cleared, […]
‘Gonna Have A Resurgence:’ Former Steeler Questions Kaleb Johnson Trade
The Pittsburgh Steelers made two trades over the weekend, one of which sent 2025 third-round pick Kaleb Johnson to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round pick.

Weakness To Strength: Trai Essex Confident In ‘Right Side’ Of Steelers’ Offensive Line
Entering training camp, the Pittsburgh Steelers needed to solidify the right side of their offensive line after head coach Mike McCarthy’s staff shifted Mason McCormick and Troy Fautanu to the left side.

‘Brought In For A Reason’: Cowboys HC Says Broderick Jones Will Compete For Starting Position
The Pittsburgh Steelers traded Broderick Jones to the Dallas Cowboys this past weekend, ending his time with the team. But his time in Dallas is getting off to a fast start.

ESPN Beat Writer Speculates About Two Steelers Who Might Not Stick To Team’s 53-Man Roster
How a 53-man roster looks initially and how it’s constructed on opening day often differ. Although the Pittsburgh Steelers have yet to make any additional moves to their group, ESPN’s Brooke Pryor thinks two players could be in danger of losing their current 53-man spot. “When I look at Kevin Jobity, he’s a guy that, […]
Ravens Add Veteran Kicker To Compete With ‘Struggling’ Tyler Loop
The Pittsburgh Steelers had a wild 2025 season. One that quite literally came down to the final kick in the regular season. Pittsburgh led by one point, with Tyler Loop attempting a 44-yard field goal to give the Baltimore Ravens the win, a division title, and a playoff berth over the Steelers all at once. […]

‘Didn’t Show Me Enough’: Willie Colon Says Steelers ‘Should’ve Let Go Of Will Howard’
The Pittsburgh Steelers decided to keep all four of their quarterbacks on their initial roster. That means Will Howard, despite having an up-and-down preseason and getting hurt in the final game, has earned a roster spot. That was in question after Drew Allar popped early in the preseason. Howard has a lot of fans, and […]
Vince Williams Sees ‘Versatile’ Nick Herbig As Answer To Steelers’ Inside Linebacker Depth Issue
The Pittsburgh Steelers let Elandon Roberts go as part of their efforts to trim their roster to 53 players. That surprised many, since Roberts seemed to have a role as a run-stuffer in the Steelers’ inside linebacker room. Cutting ties with him leaves Pittsburgh a little light at that position, with Patrick Queen and Payton […]
‘Without A Doubt’: Trai Essex Believes Steelers ‘Want’ Max Iheanachor To Start Over Dylan Cook
Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers have already set their initial roster, they still have some big decisions to make, particularly on the offensive line. The Steelers traded Broderick Jones to the Cowboys, meaning they will go into the year with Troy Fautanu, Dylan Cook, and Max Iheanachor as their tackles. The latter didn’t play until […]

Charlie Batch Doubles Down, ‘Still Adamant’ Steelers Won’t Keep 4 QBs
The Pittsburgh Steelers kept all four of their quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster. That was one of their biggest questions this offseason, but they saw enough out of their three backups to keep them all. Many people didn’t expect that, though. Former Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch said there was a zero-percent chance that Pittsburgh […]
‘Expect Him To Contribute’: Khan Has High Hopes For Robert Spears-Jennings’ Rookie Year
The Pittsburgh Steelers found a way to keep all 10 of their draft picks on the 53-man roster, including their seventh-round picks Eli Heidenreich and Robert Spears-Jennings. Making the initial roster as a seventh-rounder is never easy. But it’s even more difficult when the rookie class is that big. But Spears-Jennings proved himself with some […]
Steelers ‘Certainly Not Closing The Door’ On Elandon Roberts Reunion
The Pittsburgh Steelers made a surprising — some would say shocking — move Sunday, releasing veteran inside linebacker Elandon Roberts roughly three weeks after signing him.

‘Hope Joey Finishes His Career Here’: Khan Addresses Porter Contract Negotiations
Joey Porter Jr. has been hoping for a contract extension from the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, but nothing has been done yet.

‘Just Being Smart’: Omar Khan Clarifies Decision To Place DeShon Elliott On IR
The Pittsburgh Steelers made some predictable, and unpredictable moves as it came time to trim their roster down on Sunday.

That leaves Elliott out for at least the first four weeks of the […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers made two notable trades over the weekend, sending former first-round pick Broderick Jones to the Dallas Cowboys and last year’s third-round pick Kaleb Johnson to the Green Bay Packers.
