The Steelers won’t know their 2025 NFL schedule for a couple more weeks. However, we do at least know the opponents each NFL team will be facing throughout the season. For the Steelers, one of those opponents are the Green Bay Packers, whom they will play at home. Because these teams play in different conferences, they […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers released LB Thomas Rush, the team announced on X this afternoon. We have released LB Thomas Rush. @BordasLaw — Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) April 30, 2025 He signed as a free agent to a future contract in January following the 2024 season. With the Steelers signing undrafted free agents and preparing for their […]
Arthur Smith might be synonymous with an outside zone-based running scheme but in his first year as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive coordinator, he stuck with what the team already knew. Speaking to reporters after the Steelers made Iowa RB Kaleb Johnson their third-round pick last Friday night, Smith said 2024 was about him adjusting to […]
The speculation around Shedeur Sanders and the Pittsburgh Steelers couldn’t be any hotter right now. The majority of national mock drafts have linked the two and it doesn’t take Bill Parcells to understand why. Pittsburgh needs a quarterback and Sanders could be on the board at No. 21. Mike Tomlin’s recent comments praising Sanders also […]
If there’s a wild card for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft night, it could be Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer shares that Egbuka has endeared himself well to Pittsburgh, though Breer maintains quarterback or defensive line is more likely in the first round. Breer shared the comment in reference to trade rumors […]
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!
This year, the Pittsburgh Steelers could take another swing at drafting a quarterback in the first round. With this looking like a weaker quarterback class, though, some fans might be a little gun-shy about that. The last time the Steelers drafted a signal caller in Round 1, they took Kenny Pickett. That didn’t work out […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a difficult spot leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft. They need a quarterback for the future, have a significant hole along their defensive line, and need to add a running back as well. They have to do all that under GM Omar Khan without a second-round pick, too, […]
Throughout the pre-draft process, the Pittsburgh Steelers have done quite a bit of work on the quarterback position, studying the players, meeting with them and even bringing some to Pittsburgh for pre-draft visits. Based on how the Steelers historically operate in the pre-draft process and how that translates to who they draft, there’s a great […]
Season 15, Episode 123 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Tuesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the main takeaways from the annual pre-draft press conference that Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan and HC Mike Tomlin held Tuesday morning. While Khan and Tomlin didn’t give away […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have invested heavily in the offensive line over the past two seasons. They spent back-to-back first-round picks on offensive tackles. They drafted two interior offensive linemen in 2024. But could the line’s performance really come down to one player, OT Broderick Jones? No, all five players on the offensive line have to […]
This week, the 2025 NFL draft will finally kick off. As the first-round creeps closer, it feels more and more like the Pittsburgh Steelers will draft a quarterback. Speculation connecting them to Shedeur Sanders is getting more rampant. However, Sanders would probably have to fall to the Steelers’ pick at No. 21, and that feels […]

A short, 1-3 minute episode seven days a week, every weekday at 5 PM/EST, with Alex Kozora, Dave Bryan, Josh Carney, Ross McCorkle, Melanie Friedlander, and Joe Clark telling you what’s on our minds.

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 […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers found a sleeper in the seventh round of the 2012 NFL Draft when they took OT Kelvin Beachum out of SMU. Beachum wound up starting 39 games for the Steelers between 2012-2015, and in a recent interview with The Athletic’s Jayna Bardahl, Beachum talked about waiting until the seventh round and said […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to draft a wide receiver in the 2025 NFL Draft, which begins Thursday with Round 1. But with other needs to address and the team already trading for WR DK Metcalf earlier this season, it wouldn’t be a surprise to me if the Steelers waited until Day 3, and potentially […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers enter the 2025 NFL Draft armed with just six selections. Couple that with a more-aggressive general manager in Omar Khan and it’s logical for the team to be on the move come draft day. Predicting trades is always difficult and dependent on the board and the offers but to imagine what a […]
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 Arkansas […]
There are only so many ways you can say it — the Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to find a solution to their quarterback problem. Will it be Aaron Rodgers? Will they take someone in the upcoming draft? One quarterback they have certainly been doing their homework on is Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart. Ian Rapaport […]
This time next week, the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft will be in the books and focus will shift to Day 2. The long gap between the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first- and third-round picks puts them in an interesting predicament with a few pressing needs on the roster. There are plenty of routes they […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ biggest need ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft is at the quarterback spot. They only have two in Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson. But the defensive tackle spot isn’t too far behind. And the Steelers brought in Oregon DT Derrick Harmon for a pre-draft visit earlier in April. Could they turn in […]
Aaron Rodgers has finally provided a little bit of clarity on his situation. For the past few weeks, Pittsburgh Steelers fans have been waiting to hear if Rodgers will join their favorite team. While it doesn’t sound like he’s made a decision yet, it seems like he could decide to retire. “The conversation about where […]
As the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to do their homework on the 2025 NFL Draft class, they continue waiting on Aaron Rodgers’ future, too. One month into waiting on an answer, the Steelers seem no closer to a conclusion than they were weeks ago. Per The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, there’s been no change in Rodgers’ status […]
April 15 – Ep. 51: On this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and I dive right into all things Shedeur Sanders with a discussion on his visit, his chances of falling and whether or not we would take him if he falls to No. 21. We talk about reports of Mike Tomlin really […]
He might be viewed as arrogant, cocky and all about himself, which has many questioning him leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, but Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders is exactly the type of quarterback Pittsburgh Steelers second-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith likes. At least, that’s what FOX Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz stated Tuesday on […]
The NFL draft is only a little over a week away, and Aaron Rodgers still hasn’t made a decision on his future. That’s left the Pittsburgh Steelers playing the waiting game. While Mike Tomlin didn’t put a firm deadline on Rodgers, the Steelers could be sick of waiting. They could turn to the draft to […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have made a recent addition to their coaching staff, hiring Luke Smith as the team’s newest quality control coach. Though unannounced by the team, Smith’s name now appears on the Steelers’ front office page on the team website. Smith doesn’t appear to be replacing any current staff members. Assistants Matt Baker, Mateo […]
For the past several weeks, the Pittsburgh Steelers appeared to be the only team in contention for a veteran quarterback like Aaron Rodgers. That changed Friday when NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport revealed New Orleans Saints QB Derek Carr suffered a shoulder injury that leaves his 2025 status in doubt. Speculation connected the dots to Rodgers […]

For the Pittsburgh Steelers, the standard is the standard. Mike Tomlin often likes to say that, although over the past few years, the Steelers have struggled to meet the standard. They haven’t been close to competing for a championship. They haven’t even won a playoff game since the 2016 season. It’s felt like the Steelers […]
The 2025 NFL Draft is almost here. Our Steelers Depot team has done a great job covering this year’s draft cycle with multiple members attending the East/West Shrine Bowl, the Senior Bowl, and the NFL Combine. We’ve been hard at work since, producing over 320 scouting reports along with our Pro Day and pre-draft visit […]
For most, getting drafted in the NFL Draft brings a flood of happy emotions. Years of hard work finally rewarded by being drafted into the hardest league in sports. But for former Pittsburgh Steelers punter Craig Colquitt, finding out the Steelers selected him in the third round of the 1978 NFL Draft didn’t bring immediate […]
The 2025 NFL Draft is less than two weeks away and no one agrees on who the Pittsburgh Steelers will draft or what position they will target in Round One. However, one way to guess who the Steelers might draft is to look at who they bring into their facility for pre-draft visits. While some […]
Quarterback is currently the biggest question mark for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Will they sign Aaron Rodgers? That seems likely, but no deal is done yet. Shedeur Sanders is a name that’s gaining a lot of traction in connection to the Steelers. However, there have also been reports that Pittsburgh really likes Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe. […]The idea of trading back in the first round of the NFL draft always seems to enter the conversation this time of year. It can be a viable strategy to extract extra value out of the draft, especially if positions of need are running thin by the time a team makes its selection. For the […]
The Steelers knew they’d run the risk of resetting their QB room once again this offseason. While they did bring back a familiar face in Mason Rudolph, both of their starters from 2024 left. They know they’ve still got work to do. Right now, there are two popular names that have been brought up as […]
Recovering from injuries is rarely an easy thing to do. It’s much more difficult when you’re an aging quarterback. That’s something Aaron Rodgers was working through during his recent stint with the New York Jets. Rodgers had good moments in 2024, but it seemed that he was still getting used to being healthy for a […]
Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers were one of the best teams in the NFL for most of the season. Unfortunately, they completely collapsed to end the year. It was brutal to see, with the Steelers losing their last five games of the year, including their playoff game. This year, they’re hoping to be better than […]
The NFL draft is one of the most important events of the year for teams. That means the Pittsburgh Steelers have to focus on it, even though they’re still waiting on Aaron Rodgers. Although it seems like only a matter of time before Rodgers joins the Steelers, no deal is done yet. It’s unclear when […]
The free agency period has come to a lull, aside from one notable name. The next big event on the NFL radar is the NFL Draft. Unfortunately, the Steelers don’t have a second-round pick this year. However, we’ve seen that Omar Khan isn’t afraid of a draft-day move or two. With the Steelers having a […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost several players in free agency this offseason, including QB Justin Fields and RB Najee Harris, who played key roles for Pittsburgh last season. While Fields was replaced by Russell Wilson after starting six games, he got the Steelers off to a 4-2 start, while Harris ran for over 1,000 yards for […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a lot of needs to address in the 2025 NFL Draft after numerous positional shortcomings were revealed in the team’s five-game losing streak to end last season. General Manager Omar Khan and the Steelers staff made some moves this offseason to address some of those weaknesses, none more substantial than trading […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ identity has always been smash-mouth football, with all twenty-two players flying around the field looking for someone to hit and hit hard. That isn’t changing anytime soon. However, as the NFL continues to navigate complicated questions regarding player safety, gender inclusivity, and international reach, introducing a professional flag football league could be […]
As we’ve done in previous years, we’re taking a look at those Pittsburgh Steelers under Reserve/Futures contracts for the 2025 offseason — the ones who spent most of, if not the entire year, on the practice squad — and what we can expect from them during training camp and (hopefully) into the regular season. Today, […]
With the 2025 NFL Draft just weeks away, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft plans remain uncertain. Despite trading for WR DK Metcalf earlier this offseason, CBS Sports’ Josh Edwards still has them selecting WR Luther Burden III in the first round. “I would not be surprised if George Pickens were moved at some point before the […]
Later this month and barring no trades, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have six new rookies on its roster. But in what’s sure to be a theme of the offseason, it’ll feel like they have a couple more. The 2024 rookie class primarily fell into one of two camps. Impact starter or injured. Center Zach Frazier […]
NFL.com’s Chad Reuter undertook the difficult task of going five rounds deep for a mock draft with all 32 teams. It appears that he built this on top of the “ideal” top two rounds he published earlier in the week in which he had the Steelers going offense with RB Omarion Hampton and QB Kyle […]Season 15, Episode 115 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Josh Carney and Ross McCorkle both sit in for Alex Kozora, who is limited with an upper-body injury. We start this show by going over a recent debit to the salary cap that the Pittsburgh Steelers received […]
Most of the talk around the Pittsburgh Steelers has been centered on who their quarterback will be in 2025. However, that isn’t their only need. This offseason, they lost Najee Harris, and they still haven’t replaced him. While Jaylen Warren is a good player, it’s uncertain if he can handle being the Steelers’ lead back. […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are waiting on Aaron Rodgers, and everyone is trying to guess what the hold-up is. Although it’s extremely difficult to read Rodgers, we haven’t heard that the financial aspect of things isn’t the reason for the delay. However, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini isn’t so quick to dismiss that idea. Speaking Thursday on […]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...
