‘Sensitive As Hell’: Darius Slay Fires Back At Ike Taylor (Update)
The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t strangers to drama, and it looks like that includes former players. Former Steelers CB Darius Slay recently made some comments about CB Joey Porter Jr. that didn’t sit well with fellow former Steeler Ike Taylor. Taylor took to Twitter to criticize Slay, and now, Slay has fired back. “The hell [are […]
‘This System Fits Me A Lot Better’: Jaquan Brisker Already Feels Comfortable In Steelers’ Defense
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense was arguably the most disappointing part of their team last year. It was supposed to be one of the league’s best units. However, it wasn’t even good enough to be average. It finished 26th in the league in yards allowed. That’s not good enough, and it has to be better this […]
Despite Potential Position Change, Analyst Thinks Steelers Are ‘In A Good Spot’ With Troy Fautanu
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has been in a retooling phase for the last few years. However, the team’s work is starting to bear fruit, particularly along the offensive line. The Steelers have invested a lot of high draft capital there recently, and while not all of those picks have hit, most seem to be on […]
‘Reeked To Me’: Analyst Thinks Steelers Have ‘Very Solid’ Roster – Except For One Position
The roster the Pittsburgh Steelers assembled has been a long work in progress. Perhaps the longest effort the Steelers made to add to their group came in the form of Aaron Rodgers, whom Pittsburgh once again waited multiple months for this offseason. To analyst Jourdan Rodrigue, that was a puzzling decision on Pittsburgh’s end. “I […]
‘Don’t Think It Happens:’ Beat Writer Points To History In Making Kaleb Johnson Prediction
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson had a rookie season to forget. The most memorable 2025 moment for him came against the eventual Super Bowl-champion Seattle Seahawks. But it was memorable for all the wrong reasons. He failed to down a kickoff in his own end zone that was recovered by the Seahawks for a touchdown. […]
Watch: The Depot Dive (Episode 107)
July 9 – Ep. 107: For this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and I discuss the ESPN polls from scouts, coaches, and execs and where Steelers have placed on the lists so far.

‘They Are A 9-8 Team’: Panthers Long Snapper Calls Steelers ‘Uninteresting’
Pittsburgh Steelers fans were left frustrated once again with how the 2025 season ended for their favorite team. While the Steelers won their division, they once again failed to win a playoff game. It was more of the same, reinforcing the narrative that the Steelers are stuck in a cycle of mediocrity. Many people blamed […]
Batch Argues Ravens Have Better Offensive Line Than Steelers Heading Into 2026
Over the last half decade, it’s hard to think of a position group the Steelers have made more investments in than their offensive line. It’s seen plenty of change over the last few years and comes into the 2026 season with a lot of potential. To former Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch, though, there are some […]
Ranking The Steelers’ Starters: No. 6-4
In just a few weeks, players on the 91-man offseason roster — along with the media and thousands of fans — will descend on Saint Vincent College in Latrobe for another edition of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. This summer will bring a lot of new for the Black and Gold, with a number of new […]
‘I’m Concerned’: Kevin Clark Sounds Alarm On Steelers
With one of their strongest rosters in years, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2026. But not everyone is buying into the positivity. ESPN’s Kevin Clark is sounding the alarm for those expecting Pittsburgh to take a step forward. When asked which team he is most concerned about […]
Panel Sees Good Reason To Expect Watt Bounce-Back Season
T.J. Watt dropping to seventh among edge rushers in ESPN’s recent poll was fitting after a disappointing season hindered by a freak dry-needling injury that cost him the stretch run. Now in his 30s, Watt’s decline could continue. A panel of analysts think a bounce-back season is possible, and a new approach to using him […]

Welcome back to your weekly Pittsburgh Steelers mailbag. As always, we’re here for the next hour to answer whatever is on your mind. Apologize for the slightly earlier start time, but I’m not available at the normal 2:30 slot so I had to bump it up. I’ll be sure to check throughout the day for […]
In Rugged AFC North, Analyst Doubts 10 Wins Will ‘Be Enough’ For Steelers To Make The Playoffs
In 2025, partially thanks to a weakened AFC North, the Pittsburgh Steelers were able to make the playoffs. However, they didn’t do much once getting there, suffering a brutal loss to Houston at home in the Wild Card round. This version of the Steelers is going to look different in a lot of ways. Yet, […]
‘Howard, Howard, Howard:’ Analyst Expects Steelers Fans To Demand New QB By Holidays
The Pittsburgh Steelers seemingly went all in on the 2026 season in an effort to get over the playoff hump and potentially make a run at the Super Bowl under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy.

Mark Kaboly Shares His Big Worry About Steelers’ Defense
The Steelers had bigger problems on defense last season, statistically, against the pass. Mark Kaboly’s bigger concern, though is the run. This offseason, Pittsburgh added to its secondary, and in some meaningful ways. But what have the Steelers done to shape up this run defense—beyond, you know, an almost entirely new coaching staff? Well, it’s […]
Biggest Steelers Questions: What If Ryan Shazier Didn’t Get Hurt?
A separate offseason series we’re kicking off for the next few weeks. The Pittsburgh Steelers have plenty of “what ifs” in their now nearly 100-year history.

Cam Heyward Snubbed In ESPN’s Positional Rankings, Lands Outside Top 10 DL
Coming off an All-Pro season, one in which he continued to show he remains among the best interior defensive linemen in football even at 36 years old, it felt inevitable that Pittsburgh Steelers star and team captain Cameron Heyward would be much higher in the ESPN positional rankings this summer from NFL executives, coaches and […]
‘It’s In His DNA’: Max Iheanachor ‘Has That Steelers Mentality’, Hines Ward Says
It’s too early to say how soon Max Iheanachor will start, but Hines Ward has no doubts that he belongs with the Steelers. Having watched him for two years as a member of Arizona State’s coaching staff, he is a big fan of where he landed. After all, Ward spent his entire NFL career in […]
DeFabo Breaks Down Expected Safety Roles For Steelers’ Secondary
Versatility is something the Pittsburgh Steelers’ new coaching staff is clearly very keen on. On both sides of the ball, the Steelers have looked for players who can play multiple roles. That gives them the ability to get creative and makes it easier to manage depth. Especially in the secondary, where the Steelers have collected […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – DT Keeanu Benton
Player: DT Keeanu Benton Stock Value: Even Reasoning: While there’s been a lot of talk about Keeanu Benton this offseason, it doesn’t, as yet, amount to very much. Between discussions about his role this season and contract talks, nobody seems to know where he fits anymore. To my mind, however, the most likely answer will […]
Steelers Beat Writers Reveal Their Sleepers For Roster Entering Training Camp
Everybody likes underdogs, overachievers, and sleepers, so who are the Steelers’ candidates for this year’s 53-man roster? At this stage, it’s hard to say how many legitimate candidates there are. So much has changed about the team this offseason, most importantly, the coaching staff. Mike McCarthy will have different means of evaluating players from Mike […]
‘Feels Like A Veteran’: Ravens Ready To See Vega Ioane ‘When The Pads Get To Popping’
The Steelers will have their hands full with Vega Ioane for years to come—but first, it’s the Ravens’ problem. At least, their defense’s problem. Baltimore’s first-round pick, Ioane is a big, powerful guard poised to be a Day-1 starter. And even the other side of the ball is ready to see what he has in […]
