Trading a second-round pick for DK Metcalf certainly feels like a fair deal. The Steelers would rather have Metcalf’s proven talent than try and develop a player with that pick. However, the trade leaves them with a little less draft capital, including only two picks in the first two days. Steelers GM Omar Khan’s already […]
With the draft drawing closer, the Pittsburgh Steelers still haven’t gotten a decision from Aaron Rodgers. Reportedly, Rodgers had a recent throwing session with DK Metcalf. That makes it seem likely that he’ll land with the Steelers, but nothing is guaranteed. If Rodgers doesn’t come to Pittsburgh, Mike Tomlin made it sound like he’s fine […]
For Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers, there’s no deadline on Aaron Rodgers’ decision. As the calendar sets to turn the page until April and the Steelers still without a clear No. 1 quarterback, Pittsburgh isn’t rushing Rodgers into saying yes or no. Speaking with local beat reporters at the 2025 NFL owner’s meetings Sunday, […]
While ESPN’s Evan Cohen floated that the Pittsburgh Steelers should trade for QB Will Levis this offseason, it doesn’t seem as if Levis is going anywhere. Titans President of Football Operations Chad Brinker told Titans’ team website reporter Jim Wyatt that the team hasn’t had any discussions about trading Levis. “That’s a false report,” Brinker […]
Another day, another mock draft. This time by way of Kyle Stackpole of CBS Sports. In it, he has the Steelers addressing the offensive side of the ball, adding some more juice to their recently refined wide receiver room with Luther Burden III. “Let’s assume the Steelers end up signing Aaron Rodgers, relieving the pressure […]
With mock draft season in full swing, reporters and draft analysts have been trying their hand at who the Steelers might pick this season. An obvious need the team needs to address is at running back after Najee Harris signed with the Los Angeles Chargers this offseason. In a recent episode of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette […]
One scout’s comment shouldn’t be taken as a sure-fire sign the Pittsburgh Steelers are drafting him but Colorado WR Jimmy Horn Jr. has a fan on the Steelers’ staff. Offering a tiny bit of Combine chatter, analyst Steve Palazzolo shared how a Pittsburgh scout reacted to Horn’s recent workout. “The scouts I was sitting near […]
Even if they’re not showing much overt pre-draft interest, the Pittsburgh Steelers need to beef up the interior. No one brings the beef like Florida NT Desmond Watson. The heaviest prospect in known draft history, he tipped the scales at 464 pounds during his Gators’ Pro Day earlier this week. So can the guy play? […]
From now until the 2025 NFL Draft, we will 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 […]
To hear it from a panel of NFL scouts, quarterbacks Will Howard and Jalen Milroe don’t have great odds of succeeding at the next level. In his annual series, Bob McGinn spoke with a gaggle of scouts for their opinions on the top passers of the 2025 class. Most were “out” on Howard and Milroe. […]
The compensatory pick formula is complicated and an inexact science even to the teams that are trying to exploit it. That’s because it factors in contract size and incentives, the latter of which is linked to playing time and performance, which are impossible to predict. But when it comes to league outsiders who study the […]
Welcome back to your weekly Pittsburgh Steelers mailbag. As always, we’re here for the next hour to answer whatever is on your mind. To your questions! AZSteeler: Good Afternoon Alex! As always – thank you for your insights. So, what are we going to do at QB? Nobody, not even me, believes Mason is a QB […]
From now until the 2025 NFL Draft, we will 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 scouting […]
The Minnesota Vikings are leaving themselves just enough wiggle room to turn to QB Aaron Rodgers later this offseason. Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Minnesota GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah expressed confidence in the team’s current crop of quarterbacks. But he wouldn’t completely close the door on Rodgers. As shared by beat writer Kevin Seifert, Adofo-Mensah couldn’t say […]
Former Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman J.J. Watt will work as the game analyst on CBS’ No. 2 broadcast team, per Andrew Marchand of The Athletic. J.J. is the brother of Steelers EDGE T.J. Watt and former Steelers FB Derek Watt. J.J. Watt previously worked in the studio on The NFL Today, the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers struck hard and fast this offseason in the days leading up to the legal tampering window, swinging a major trade for DK Metcalf, sending a second-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks to acquire the 27-year-old wide receiver before then giving him a new five-year, $150 million contract. The Steelers weren’t the only […]
Though it’s hardly a “trip,” the Pittsburgh Steelers are highly visible at Pitt Panthers Pro Day Wednesday. Held at the practice facility shared by both teams, assistant general manager Andy Weidl, special teams coordinator Danny Smith, offensive line coach Pat Meyer, tight ends coach Alfredo Roberts, wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni, and Scouting Coordinator Casey […]
Ben Roethlisberger helped the Pittsburgh Steelers win two Super Bowls in the 2000s. During his tenure with the team, it felt like the Steelers always had a shot at a championship. That doesn’t mean they didn’t face some huge roadblocks, though. The Baltimore Ravens are the Steelers’ greatest rival arguably due to their battles during […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers like to play a specific brand of football. Over the course of their history, that’s served them well. They’ve managed to become one of the most successful franchises in all of sports. But lately, the team hasn’t been up to the same standard, especially on offense. As the team continues to pursue […]
While Aaron Rodgers hasn’t made a decision yet, it feels like the Pittsburgh Steelers have a good chance to sign him. That might result in mixed reactions among the fan base. Rodgers is the top free agent quarterback left on the market. He likely gives the Steelers their best chance at being competitive in 2025. […]

If things continue to trend the way that they are, there seems to be a very good chance that four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers will end up the 2025 quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers. With that pedigree comes a certain level of expected autonomy on his part. Steelers OC Arthur Smith dealt with that to […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been on a tumultuous eight-year journey trying to find answers at the inside linebacker position. There are still some uncertainties at the position, and the Steelers could add another inside linebacker in the draft with good tackling skills and a high football IQ. Ole Miss LB Chris Paul Jr. could be […]
While one giant move has held their offseason up, the Pittsburgh Steelers have quietly filled out their roster through free agency. DK Metcalf was a major move, but besides him and Darius Slay, the Steelers have focused on smaller, depth signings throughout their roster more than anything else. One position in which they especially need […]
The move to bring back veteran quarterback Mason Rudolph on a two-year deal didn’t generate a lot of buzz around the NFL, but inside the locker room of the Pittsburgh Steelers, it was a move that had quite a bit of fanfare. Arguably, nobody was happier to have Rudolph back in the Steel City than […]
Though not in their usual numbers, the Pittsburgh Steelers still had a presence at Michigan’s Friday Pro Day. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin was in attendance, per Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press. Mason Graham did field drills but didn’t run at Michigan pro day today. Good contingent of defensive personnel turned out to watch […]
Aaron Rodgers is taking his time making a decision about his future. Although the Minnesota Vikings reportedly don’t plan on pursuing Rodgers, it doesn’t feel like that’s put him in any rush. That’s to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ detriment. They’re left wondering if Rodgers will pick them or the New York Giants. It doesn’t seem like […]
It’s been rather interesting for the Pittsburgh Steelers since the start of the legal tampering period. Dating back to last week, the Steelers have traded for star receiver DK Metcalf and given him a new five-year, $150 million deal, signed veteran cornerbacks Darius Slay and Brandin Echols, added linebacker Malik Harrison, running back Kenneth Gainwell […]
Jalen Milroe is ready to lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to victory. Following a pre-Pro Day dinner with Mike Tomlin and top Steelers brass Tuesday night, Milroe discussed the meeting and his potential NFL future with Wednesday. “Being around Coach Tomlin, I don’t take it lightly at all. If the opportunity presents itself for me to […]
Season 15, Episode 107 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers’ failed attempt at signing free agent FB Kyle Juszczyk, who ultimately re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers. We discuss the reports that the Steelers offered Juszczyk […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are receiving varied reviews as to how they’ve handled the offseason so far. They showed some aggressiveness just before free agency began, swinging a big trade for DK Metcalf. Aside from that move, though, they’ve been rather passive, especially at quarterback position. Their clear need for a QB has many pundits thinking […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers seem content to wait for a decision from free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers on whether or not he’ll sign with the team, but DL Cameron Heyward doesn’t seem to be a big fan of the wait. On his Not Just Football Podcast, Heyward was asked about his recruiting pitch for Rodgers. “Either […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers put their best foot forward to sign FB Kyle Juszczyk. But in the end, he decided to stick with the San Francisco 49ers, the team he’s played for the bulk of his career even if it was the club that had cut him just days earlier. According to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, the […]
The free-agent quarterback situation in the NFL is waiting for the next domino to fall. At this point, that domino is former New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers. Will he sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers? Will he stay in New Jersey, this time with the New York Giants? Or is he truly holding out hope […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ first external quarterback pursuit wasn’t Aaron Rodgers. It was Sam Darnold. But despite the Seattle Seahawks flipping stud receiver DK Metcalf to the Steelers and leaving their WR room thin, Darnold still chose going west instead of east. Even so, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer paints a picture of Darnold being intrigued by […]
The Steelers have been active this NFL offseason, particularly filling holes from their 2025 roster. After reinvigorating the receiver room with D.K. Metcalf and adding stability at cornerback in Darius Slay, the team seems pretty open in terms of who they could draft, or at least, that’s what Trevor Sikkema and Connor Rogers of the […]
Did the D.K. Metcalf trade take the Steelers out of the wide receiver business in this year’s NFL Draft? Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette certainly doesn’t think so. During his appearance on The Rich Eisen Show on Thursday, Dulac talked about the Steelers’ current situation at wide receiver. While he lauded the room for […]
It’s been almost a week since the legal tampering period started, and the Pittsburgh Steelers roster is still far from a finished product. That’s normal at this time of year with the draft still upcoming, but the Steelers only have six draft picks at their disposal as it stands right now following the DK Metcalf […]
Four days into the 2025 NFL league year, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation remains riddled with question marks. Aaron Rodgers is seemingly who the Steelers want, but whether he will actually sign with them remains uncertain, especially given a recent report indicating Rodgers has eyes on the Minnesota Vikings. If not Rodgers, beat writer Mark […]
The Atlanta Falcons talked the talk and are officially walking the walk. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Field Yates, QB Kirk Cousins is being held on the roster through the weekend, triggering a $10 million roster bonus to prove Atlanta has no plans to cut him. Sources: The Falcons officially will be keeping QB Kirk […]
Right now, the choices for Aaron Rodgers are between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants. If the Minnesota Vikings enter the mix, the Steelers and Giants could both be searching for another name. In a long article from The Athletic Saturday largely recapping the past week of news, rumors, and speculation, Rodgers is apparently […]
The annual NFLPA report card hasn’t been kind to the Pittsburgh Steelers since it started as an offseason tradition a few years ago. But the survey is the average opinion of all of the players who chose to respond, and therefore the complaints are veiled in anonymity. Najee Harris, who just signed with the Los […]
When he made his trade request public on Feb. 3 ahead of the Super Bowl and went on a media tour stating his displeasure with the Cleveland Browns and wanting to move on and compete for a title elsewhere, it seemed right then and there that the Myles Garrett era on the shores of Lake […]
New Pittsburgh Steelers LB Malik Harrison has plenty of special teams experience. Steelers Depot’s Dave Bryan shared that Harrison logged over 1,500 special teams snaps during his five-year career with the Baltimore Ravens. It stands to reason that will continue in Pittsburgh under special teams coordinator Danny Smith. Smith is an icon of the NFL […]
It’s no secret that the Pittsburgh Steelers want QB Aaron Rodgers to be their starter in 2025, and while Rodgers has yet to make a decision, FOX NFL insider Jay Glazer thinks Pittsburgh is a good fit for the four-time MVP. Appearing on FOX & Friends this morning, Glazer said that the Steelers, Giants and […]
With Najee Harris off to Los Angeles to play with the Chargers and Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell on one-year deals for the Pittsburgh Steelers, things could be trending toward the franchise selecting a running back in the first round. At least, that’s what longtime Steelers reporter and Pat McAfee Show Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly […]
As we head deeper into Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation is only becoming more dire. With several potential options already finding their homes for the 2025 season, the Steelers’ choices are dwindling. At this point, many are pointing to Aaron Rodgers as the most logical free agent still available for Pittsburgh. Former NFL safety […]
While other teams have been agreeing to terms with some of the biggest names available, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been relatively quiet in free agency. It was reported that they signed corner Darius Slay, but it seems that might not be true yet. Slay is a six-time Pro Bowler, being one of the best corners […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have finally gotten themselves some wide receiver help. It took a long, painful road for them to get here, but following the trade for DK Metcalf, the position isn’t one of need anymore, for the first time in forever. That’s a cause for celebration. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, that was the […]
As we do each year, we’re following where the Pittsburgh Steelers sends their coaches, scouts, and personnel during Pro Days ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. This list will be updated over the next month for the Steelers we spot out on the trail. While some presences carry more weight than others, we do our […]Even with QB Aaron Rodgers, WR DK Metcalf, and a host of other changes made to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense, ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky i...
