Russell Wilson bet on himself before the 2024 season, and the results were mixed. He helped lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to the playoffs, but after getting off to a hot start, Wilson’s play took a nosedive. He was less careful the football, and he produced several boneheaded plays. Now, he’s a pending free agent, and […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the market for a defensive lineman. Toledo’s Darius Alexander is on their radar. According to Devin Jackson, who is at this year’s Senior Bowl, Alexander met with Steelers Assistant GM Andy Weidl during practice today and he has a meeting set up with the team tonight. Steelers assistant GM Andy […]

For the fourth-straight season since QB Ben Roethlisberger retired, the Pittsburgh Steelers are searching high and low for his replacement. Despite a revolving door of names brought in since 2022, the only thing that’s stuck is the franchise itself. Former NFL offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz called out the team to shake things up with a […]

Obvious as it is, the Pittsburgh Steelers won’t escape the rut they’re in without finding a quarterback. Team President Art Rooney II understands that like everyone else. But he’s content with running it back with at least one of the team’s 2024 quarterbacks for 2025 in re-signing Justin Fields or Russell Wilson. All with an […]
Though Arthur Smith wasn’t tabbed to be the New York Jets’ next head coach and he’ll return to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ sideline as their 2025 offensive coordinator, he still left a positive impression on the franchise. Had the Jets been unable to land Aaron Glenn, perhaps Smith would’ve been their backup plan. In a nugget […]
Every Friday on The Terrible Podcast, my co-host Alex Kozora and I pick all of the NFL games against the spread. I post those picks every Sunday morning throughout the season and track the results along the way. Here is a link to the Friday episode. We use the spreads that we see on Friday […]
If you’re looking for a kicker to hit from range, Chris Boswell is as strong a choice as any. That’s not just the view of Pittsburgh Steelers’ fans but FanDuel’s recent top-ten list ranking the best long-distance kickers in NFL history. Boswell took the No. 3 spot, one ahead of Baltimore Ravens’ Justin Tucker, and […]
DENTON, TEXAS — We are off and running here in Denton, Texas at the University of North Texas’ indoor practice facility for the 100th edition of the East-West Shrine Bowl. This year, myself, Joe Clark, Dr. Melanie Friedlander, Troy Montgomery and Steven Pavelka are in Texas to cover the Shrine Bowl for Steelers Depot. The […]
Another year and another question mark at quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since QB Ben Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season, the usually stable franchise has had a different quarterback start on each opening day game. Entering the 2025 season there is a chance the 2024 Week One starter, Justin Fields, is back in the […]

For Pittsburgh Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall, it was his worst moment. For Green Bay Packers OLB Clay Matthews, it was his best. For every great play that goes down in Super Bowl history, someone is on the wrong side of it. The corner who allows the touchdown. The offensive tackle who gets beat. Or in […]
The 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl in Dallas will get underway on Jan. 25 with the first set of practices at the University of North Texas in Denton.

An interesting wrench was thrown into the Pittsburgh Steelers’ looming quarterback decision this morning with the Las Vegas Raiders hiring Pete Carroll as their next head coach. His history with Russell Wilson points to an obvious connection, and there is already one report from an NFL insider that suggests a reunion is possible. While this […]
As magical as Ben Roethlisberger’s rookie season was, Jayden Daniels is putting it to shame. That might sound sacrilegious in Pittsburgh but even Roethlisberger’s coach, Bill Cowher, agrees that what Daniels is doing this season is more impressive than Roethlisberger in 2004. Joining Rich Eisen on The Rich Eisen Show Thursday, Cowher would take what […]
If it was up to the panel on FOX Sports, Russell Wilson would waltz back into the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting lineup in 2025. After noting early contract talks yesterday, The Facility co-hosts unanimously agreed Wilson should come back as the Steelers’ quarterback next season. LeSean McCoy went so far as to blame teammates for Pittsburgh’s […]
Right now, the million-dollar question for the Pittsburgh Steelers is who will be the team’s starting quarterback in 2025? Will they bring back QB Russell Wilson? He started hot but was largely ineffective during the team’s five-game losing stretch. QB Justin Fields helped guide the team to a 4-2 start but head coach Mike Tomlin […]
After the Pittsburgh Steelers were bounced from the Wild Card Round of the playoffs with a 28-14 loss against the Baltimore Ravens, Steelers QB Russell Wilson said that the plan for him is to return to the Steelers in 2025. While Wilson is a pending free agent, he confirmed during an appearance on The Pat […]The Pittsburgh Steelers have multiple key players on the offensive side of the football set to hit free agency in March, and five Steelers were listed among Pro Football Focus’ top-75 free agent list. QB Justin Fields anchored the group as the No. 19 available free agent. OG James Daniels came in at No. 28, […]

Daniels PFWA Rookie and Offensive Rookie of the Year, Verse […]
The worst a team can say is no. And that’s exactly what the Pittsburgh Steelers said to the Chicago Bears when they came calling about Mike Tomlin’s availability. No debate, no discussion, a “thanks but no thanks” from Art Rooney II when the Bears reportedly inquired about trading for Tomlin. That’s how the national and […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver room was a concern heading into the 2024 season, and the production of the room outside of WR George Pickens left a lot to be desired. With or without Pickens, Pittsburgh needs to upgrade at the wide receiver position, and Pickens’ future with the team appears to be murky. In […]
Since the Pittsburgh Steelers lost five straight games to end the regular season, including a blowout playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens, questions have been asked about Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. One media member who has been a passionate defender of Tomlin is ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky. Orlovsky was on Get Up earlier this week […]
Following another disappointing season in Pittsburgh, Mike Tomlin acknowledged in his end-of-season press conference that changes would likely be coming on “a lot of levels” for the Steelers. Yet here we are almost a full week later, and not a single thing has changed. Reports indicate that Tomlin is safe, and some team insiders aren’t […]
The 2025 East-West Shrine Bowl in Dallas will get underway on Jan. 25 with the first set of practices at the University of North Texas in Denton. There will be quite a few big names preparing for their shot at the 2025 NFL Draft and their future in the pros. Some of those big names, […]
Things did not end in the 2024 season the way the Pittsburgh Steelers were hoping they would, especially on the defensive side of the football. After investing heavily on that side of the ball in free agency and in the draft, the Steelers’ defense came apart in the final five weeks of the season, culminating […]
From one veteran to another, the Pittsburgh Steelers could play quarterback shuffle for another offseason. NFL.com’s Nick Shook named the Steel City a possible landing spot for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold for the 2025 season. Shook put Pittsburgh at the top of the list for Darnold. “Darnold played well enough through the majority of […]
When you lose five straight games, including another first-round playoff exit, you can probably expect that changes are coming in your organization. The sting of high expectations just a little over a month ago makes that particular pill even harder to swallow. Mike Tomlin acknowledged that changes are likely coming. “For us as a collective, […]
As one of many issues and conversation points taking place now that the Pittsburgh Steelers are in offseason mode, Mike Tomlin said the front office higher-ups are discussing how to keep the team healthier in 2025. Speaking to reporters during his year-end press conference Tuesday, Tomlin said health was an early discussion he and the […]
T.J. Watt is under contract through the 2025 season, and he isn’t the type to force his way out or make any public demands, but could he be contemplating what the last handful of years of his career might look like and whether that involves the Pittsburgh Steelers? “You have to look at a guy […]
With yet another one-and-done playoff appearance, this time in embarrassing fashion to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ biggest rival, there are going to be a lot of calls for Mike Tomlin to either lose his job or be traded. While I am not sold on either of those outcomes being likely, I think firing him outright with […]
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson didn’t log an offensive snap for the first time all season in the team’s Wild Card Round loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night, and he may not have been happy with that decision. Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Patterson posted on his story, “Guess I’ll shovel snow since […]
Though predicting head coaching hires can be tricky especially early in a process slowed down by recent NFL regulation, Arthur Smith could be the next man in charge of the Big Apple. For the team who technically resides in New Jersey, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo is giving Smith a puncher’s chance to emerge from a […]
One of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ most significant issues during their four-game losing streak has been their defensive communication. While their communication seemed to improve in Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals, it was a mess the three weeks before that, including in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens. With the Steelers preparing for a road […]
Before this season started, Russell Wilson had no shortage of doubters. His first few games with the Pittsburgh Steelers caused many people to change their opinion about him, with this year looking like his redemption tour. However, the last few weeks have changed that. Wilson has regressed, looking more like the player people believed he […]Season 15, Episode 76 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Saturday night AFC Wild Card game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers’ Thursday injury report is reviewed early in this show, so Alex and I […]
It all comes down to this for the Pittsburgh Steelers. All the hard work since March, the grinding day after day from July until now, it all comes down to one game: the AFC Wild Card matchup at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore between the No. 3 Ravens and the No. 6 Steelers. It’s all […]
Stephen A. Smith has stood by Mike Tomlin for years. But staring down the barrel of another one-and-done season, the Pittsburgh Steelers heavy underdogs Saturday night against the Baltimore Ravens, even Smith is wondering if change is brewing at the top of the coaching staff food chain. So much so that Smith endorsed the idea […]
The Chicago Bears and New York Jets both requested interviews with Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, but in the lead-up to Pittsburgh’s Wild Card Round matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, Smith’s focus lies with his current team. During his press conference today, he told reporters that he hasn’t met with the Bears or Jets […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers opened the practice window for OT Calvin Anderson, the team announced today. Anderson was placed on injured reserve with a groin injury on Dec. 14 and now has 21 days to be activated off IR or his season will be over. OT Calvin Anderson returned to practice today but remains on the […]
For most of the 2024 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers looked like a legitimate Super Bowl contender, especially after head coach Mike Tomlin turned to veteran Russell Wilson as his starting QB in Week 7. A lot can change in a month, though, and quite a bit changed for the Black and Gold. The Steelers lost […]
Pro Football Focus released its 2024 All-Pro teams, and both Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt and DL Cameron Heyward made the cut for PFF’s first-team All-Pro. It could mirror the AP All-Pro teams when those are released later this week, as both Watt and Heyward have had impressive seasons and are worthy of being recognized […]
With Pittsburgh Steelers CB Donte Jackson out and CB Joey Porter Jr. shadowing Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins, second-year CB Cory Trice Jr. got the unenviable task of covering WR Ja’Marr Chase for much of Pittsburgh’s Week 18 game. While Trice allowed an early touchdown to Chase, who finished the game with 10 receptions for […]
Saying things do not look good for the Pittsburgh Steelers might be an understatement. En route to the postseason, the Steelers lost their final four games of the regular season. This latest failure against the Cincinnati Bengals especially stings because the Steelers had chances to win. Their offense just couldn’t ever find its footing. Rich […]Ryan Clark had the uniform. He had the starting spot. He had the contract. But it wasn’t until he laid out for one specific hit that he trul...
