Needing a quarterback in a major way, the Pittsburgh Steelers are doing their due diligence at the position, particularly in the 2025 NFL Draft class. At the NFL’ Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, the Steelers have met with the likes of Texas’ Quinn Ewers, Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart, and Minnesota’s Max Brosmer. Ewers and Dart were […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have several needs that require significant attention this offseason. Quarterback is obviously at the top of the list, but wide receiver is in just as much need of an upgrade. San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel looks to be one player the Steelers could add. The 49ers seem fine trading him, although […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2024 rookie class included several immediate contributors. Unfortunately, that list did not include Troy Fautanu, who missed the season due to injury after making his first NFL start at right tackle in Week 2. When he was drafted, there was a lot of uncertainty about where Fautanu would play. Incumbent starters Dan […]
After giving teams parameters earlier this month, the NFL has officially set its 2025 salary cap number. As expected, it lands in the middle grand of its previous estimates, set to be $279.2 million for the upcoming season. As NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero notes, it’s a single-year record as the league’s cap has consistently climbed […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers would prefer to retain one of quarterback Justin Fields or Russell Wilson, but if Fields gets out the door, he’ll have plenty of options in free agency. One such option could be the Las Vegas Raiders, who NFL.com analyst Nick Shook called the best “team fit” for the young quarterback on the […]
When the Pittsburgh Steelers brought in Justin Fields and Russell Wilson ahead of the 2025 season, they hoped one would become their answer at the position, at least for the short-term. While neither player is officially under contract and GM Omar Khan is publicly open to retaining either of them, Steelers beat writer Mark Kaboly […]
INDIANAPOLIS – The Pittsburgh Steelers started the 2024 season 10-3, but it ended in disaster after they lost their last five games, including their Wild Card Round playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens. Steelers GM Omar Khan addressed the team’s finish Tuesday in an opening statement when talking to the media ahead of the 2025 […]
Sitting at 6-2 and riding high coming out of the bye week, the Pittsburgh Steelers had just added a few big names at the trade deadline with wide receiver Mike Williams and outside linebacker Preston Smith joining the team for a fifth- and a seventh-round pick, respectively. Those moves seemingly bolstered the roster in a […]
Wide receiver is a huge need for the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially after going through the 2024 season with Van Jefferson holding down the No. 2 role opposite George Pickens, that much is certain. Fortunately for the Steelers, they have a solid free agent class to work with at the position, not to mention an intriguing […]
When thinking about which wide receiver the Steelers should extend in 2025, Calvin Austin III isn’t the name that usually comes to mind. However, Steelers insider Mark Kaboly seems open to the possibility. In a recent appearance on 93.7 The Fan, Kaboly singled out Austin as a name that Pittsburgh should look to keep around […]
Terry Bradshaw quarterbacked the first true NFL dynasty of the Super Bowl era. Bradshaw’s Pittsburgh Steelers teams won four Super Bowls in the 1970s capping off one of the greatest decade-long runs in American sports history. It’s been over fifty years since Bradshaw’s Steelers won their first Super Bowl, and they still have a strong […]
The outcomes of free agency can and will change the Pittsburgh Steelers’ approach to the 2025 NFL Draft. But regardless of who gets signed, an argument can still be made for either a wide receiver or a defensive lineman in the first round. Those are by far the two most common positions linked to them […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2014 draft class had the potential to be among the best in franchise history. Unfortunately, all three players with limitless potential had their careers cut short for one reason or another. I am, of course, talking about Ryan Shazier, Stephon Tuitt, and Martavis Bryant. The premature endings to their respective careers have […]
Coming off of a fourth-straight 1,000-yard season while proving his durability once again, Pittsburgh Steelers’ running back and former 2021 first-round draft pick Najee Harris could find himself in line for a nice payday in free agency. Harris, who rushed for 1,043 yards and six touchdowns on 243 carries in 2024, is one of the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers need a starting quarterback for the 2025 season. After being informed that the New York Jets will move on without him, Aaron Rodgers needs a new home. Naturally, many have thought of a potential marriage between the two. Steelers defensive back DeShon Elliot didn’t seem to be a fan of that idea […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have quite a few large questions to answer this offseason, including at quarterback as the team once again went one-and-done in the playoffs. One of the biggest questions on the roster that doesn’t get talked about much in the off-season for the Steelers, though, is the looming contract extension for star outside […]
Who will be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback in 2025? They have multiple veteran options, like Aaron Rodgers or Sam Darnold. However, they could also run things back with one of Russell Wilson or Justin Fields. It sounds like that’s an avenue they’re going to explore. Former Steelers corner Bryant McFadden believes the Steelers should do […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers were never able to establish a consistent offensive identity last season in their first year under offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, and while the offense looked good at times during the season, it was dreadful by the end of the season. Pittsburgh failed to score more than 17 points in any of its […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to find out one way or the other how valuable LT Dan Moore Jr. was to have along the offensive line next season. He will sign elsewhere in free agency, and the Steelers will rely on their two most recent first-round picks. In theory, that should become a real strength […]
With this week apparently serving as the time for the Pittsburgh Steelers to chart their 2025 offseason plan, gathering together in Pittsburgh to determine who they intend to re-sign and who they intend to let walk, there’s still a part of the organization hoping Fields remains. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler offered an update of the situation […]
If a team is going to pry away QB Matthew Stafford from the Los Angeles Rams’ roster, it’s going to cost them. A lot. According to FOX Sports insider Jordan Schultz, the teams that have called about Stafford’s availability are being met with a high price tag. From Schultz: “Several teams, per league sources, have […]
The start of the 2025 NFL year is now three weeks away and that means we should know very soon what the official salary cap number will be for the 2025 season. However, on Wednesday a report on the expected range for the 2025 NFL salary number will be surfaced. According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a few players at key positions who become free agents this offseason. With those players, they’re presented some difficult decisions. Guys like Russell Wilson, Justin Fields and Najee Harris have all shown reasons for Pittsburgh to keep them around. Yet, there’s been struggles as well. Harris is an especially interesting player […]
With the offseason in overdrive and draft season really heating up with the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis just a week away, there is so much focus on draft prospects, potential fits and team needs as the calendar flies by. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, the areas of need are pretty clear at this point […]
Quarterback might be the biggest need for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but they’re also in desperate need of an upgrade at wide receiver. Last year, George Pickens looked like a capable No. 1 receiver. However, the rest of that room was disappointing. Calvin Austin III was the only other receiver with over 500 yards, and he […]
Interception in the Super Bowl. There’s no bigger play a defensive back could make. Just ask Cooper DeJean, who will go down in history for his now-iconic pick-six of Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl LIX, propelling the Philadelphia Eagles to a world championship. Ryan Clark shared the same vision. Instead, he […]
In a little more than three weeks from today the 2025 NFL year will begin. Additionally, with the Pittsburgh Steelers releasing OLB Preston Smith last week, this Thursday is a perfect time to update the team’s salary cap situation. For starters, Smith’s release this offseason was expected as he was scheduled to carry a 2025 […]
So far, all the promised “changes” Mike Tomlin made at his final press conference have amounted to bringing back a secondary coach on-staff in 2022 and 2023 and hiring a linebackers coach native to the area who played and coached at Pitt. Hardly needle-moving moves to change the course of the franchise. While the roster […]
Things are going from bad to worse this offseason for the Baltimore Ravens. Already embroiled in the Justin Tucker scandal, the Ravens find themselves dealing with another off-the-field issue, this time with an arrest of guard Ben Cleveland. Cleveland was arrested on a DUI charge on Feb. 12, according to Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office documents […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the few NFL organizations with a winning philosophy that’s lasted for decades. A concise summary of that philosophy: pound the run, pressure the quarterback, and win in the trenches. The Steelers churn out star linebackers and defensive linemen, providing a strong foundation for a defense that’s often one of […]
While the Pittsburgh Steelers selected OT Troy Fautanu in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, his season was limited to just one game due to injuries. The Steelers had already signed QB Russell Wilson and traded for QB Justin Fields, so the position wasn’t a need heading into the draft, but after a […]
For years, Mike Tomlin has been one of the best coaches in the NFL. He’s been a consistent winner, never having a losing season. However, that might not be good enough anymore. While Tomlin’s Steelers haven’t hit rock bottom, they’ve been brutal in the postseason recently. They haven’t won a playoff game since 2016, a […]
With NFL free agency only weeks away, much of the discussion surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers is rightfully about team’s 2025 quarterback. However, they have a long list of free agents beyond Justin Fields and Russell Wilson. Quarterbacks aside, the number one player the team can’t let walk out the door is LB Elandon Roberts. It […]
For former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Derwin Gray, the best teaches were his teammates. Not his coaches. Under former offensive line coach Shaun Sarrett, Gray said his best lessons of how to become an NFL player came from Maurkice Pouncey, David DeCastro, and others instead. In an interview that took place last year, Gray made […]
Entering the 2025 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers need a lot of help. There are plenty of uncertainties, but three positions the team have plenty of questions surrounding are quarterback, wide receiver, and defensive line. In a three round mock draft from Ian Valentino of The 33rd Team, he has the Steelers hitting all those […]
From now until the 2025 NFL Draft, we hope to scout and create profiles for as many prospects as possible, examining their strengths, weaknesses, and what they can bring to an NFL franchise. These players could be potential top-10 picks, all the way down to Day 3 selections and priority undrafted free agents. Today, a […]
From now until the 2025 NFL Draft, we hope to scout and create profiles for as many prospects as possible, examining their strengths, weaknesses, and what they can bring to an NFL franchise. These players could be potential top-10 picks, down to Day 3 selections, and priority undrafted free agents. Today, a scouting report on […]
The offseason is in full swing, with rumors swirling about who the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback will be in 2025. While it seems likely they’re going to bring back one of Russell Wilson or Justin Fields, they could choose to pivot. Aaron Rodgers is one name that’s continuing to come up as an option for the […]
To put it simply, the Pittsburgh Steelers need a quarterback for the 2025 season. Meanwhile, the New York Jets will not be bringing back Aaron Rodgers in 2025. Given that, it’s not hard to understand why some have thought of Rodgers and the Steelers as a potential pairing this offseason. NFL Network’s Kyle Brandt is […]
Not renewing secondary coach Grady Brown’s contract was a rather shocking move by the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially after Brown was very clearly one of the top up-and-coming young coaches on their staff. Brown was starting to generate some defensive coordinator buzz in recent years after getting the opportunity to do so at the Senior Bowl […]As they have been for several offseasons, the Pittsburgh Steelers are still searching for their franchise quarterback. Unfortunately, they once again find themselves in an unfavorable position to find that player. Having the 21st pick in a draft which doesn’t have the most impressive quarterback class, combined with a lackluster free agent class puts the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a decision to make at quarterback, and with New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers likely available this offseason and the Steelers having a hole at the position, it’s easy to link Pittsburgh to Rodgers. While Steelers S DeShon Elliott wouldn’t be a fan of the move and Gerry Dulac of the […]
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 truly became a Pittsburgh Steeler. Clark shared the story of the moment that earned his teammates’ respect, detailing it on the most recent episode of the Pivot with […]
Given the Pittsburgh Steelers’ lack of a need at the inside linebacker position in the 2025 NFL Draft, I didn’t spend a ton of time focusing on the group at the Senior Bowl. That didn’t stop me from consistently noticing Oregon ILB Jeffrey Bassa. He stood out in quite literally every aspect of his game. […]
Former Pittsburgh Steelers OLB James Harrison was a modern-era semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the third time this year, but he failed to advance to the finalist stage. With the path to making the Hall of Fame only getting more difficult, it doesn’t seem as if Harrison will wind up in […]
The legal tampering period begins one month from today, and if the various and at times conflicting reports are to be believed, the Pittsburgh Steelers are leaving their options open at quarterback between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Their lack of commitment can be viewed in a few different ways, but it might have something […]
Though many local and national media figures believe Russell Wilson won’t return to the Pittsburgh Steelers, one of the league’s biggest insiders continues pushing back. Appearing on The Pat McAfee Show Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter believes Wilson is optimistic to return. And he gets it from the source himself. “I was with Russell on Friday […]
Season 15, Episode 90 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing Super Bowl LIX that resulted in the Philadelphia Eagles essentially blowing out the Kansas City Chiefs. We go over the key takeaways from that Super Bowl and how the […]The NFL offseason is officially underway with the Philadelphia Eagles’ blowout victory in Super Bowl LIX, and with the season now over, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation comes more into focus. Pittsburgh has both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields set to be free agents in March, and the team will likely only bring one of […]
It’s being widely reported on Sunday morning that the San Francisco 49ers have granted WR Deebo Samuel and his agent Tory Dandy permission to find a trade partner during the offseason, and that’s not overly surprising. That news reportedly comes on the heels of Samuel asking San Francisco to trade him during the players’ exit […]T.J. Watt is the family’s new sack leader. After recording his 115th career sack Sunday against the Chicago Bears, Watt surpassed J.J. Watt ...
