Pittsburgh Steelers third-round rookie Kaleb Johnson has garnered a lot of buzz early on in the offseason. An ideal scheme fit for Arthur Smith’s offense, Johnson has impressed in mandatory minicamp and OTAs, and even with Jaylen Warren expected to lead Pittsburgh’s backfield, Johnson could play a role early in the season. Sports Illustrated’s Gilberto […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers traded for wide receiver DK Metcalf this offseason with the hopes of securing an alpha, WR1 for the 2025 season. It made even more sense once the team opted to trade George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. The Steelers paid up to get Metcalf, and his four-year, $132 million seems like an […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers reset once again at the quarterback position by signing QB Aaron Rodgers, and a former Steelers rival thinks it’s a move that will help the team.

For every success story in the NFL, there are dozens of players falling short of their goals and dealing with the disappointment that comes along with it. To make it to the NFL, players have to sacrifice many other interests and go all-in on football. So what happens when the game is taken away from […]
Although the Pittsburgh Steelers’ main rival is the Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals also have a rivalry that has burned hot over the years. In fact, from 2014-2017 the Steelers-Bengals rivalry was the most violent since the player safety initiative began in 2010. Outside linebacker Bud Dupree was a member of the Steelers […]
Six combined Super Bowl rings wasn’t enough to earn Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Terry Bradshaw or Ben Roethlisberger a place among the top 10 quarterbacks in Super Bowl history. Reporter and columnist Tyler Dunne put together a list of the top 30 quarterbacks of the Super Bowl era, 1966 to today. Dunne slotted Bradshaw slightly ahead […]
Count NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport with the rest of league insiders who believe a long-term deal between the Pittsburgh Steelers and star EDGE rusher T.J. Watt will take place before Week 1. When that deal happens and what the contract terms will be is up for debate. On the heels of reporter James Palmer “hearing” […]
As June draws closer to an end, Jalen Ramsey trade talk continues to dominate conversations in the NFL landscape. Those trade talks don’t exactly include the Pittsburgh Steelers, though. While ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Steelers “checked in” on Ramsey’s availability this offseason, a move to Pittsburgh is something that NFL Network Insider Ian […]
In his prime, Aaron Rodgers was one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Now, with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he isn’t that same player, but that shouldn’t diminish his legacy. Recently, Ben Roethlisberger stated that he thinks Rodgers in his prime was better than Patrick Mahomes is now. Former NFL running back LeSean McCoy didn’t […]
George Pickens’ time with the Pittsburgh Steelers wasn’t always pretty. While his talent on the field was amazing to watch, his attitude was often an issue. That’s part of the reason why the Steelers traded him to the Dallas Cowboys this offseason. Unfortunately, Pickens tarnished his reputation in Pittsburgh one last time on his way […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2025 offseason practices concluded in the middle of June and next up is the team’s annual training camp, which will get underway in the latter part of July at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe.

Welcome back to your weekly edition of the Pittsburgh Steelers mailbag. As always, we’re here for the next hour to answer whatever is on your mind. Apologize for running this one day ahead of time but I won’t be available tomorrow for our normal Thursday slot. I’ll be sure to check in on this post […]
Broderick Jones had an underwhelming 2024 season. After a fine rookie campaign, there was hope that Jones would take a step forward in his second NFL season. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Jones spent last offseason flipping between left and right tackle, and it felt like that uncertainty helped stunt his growth. He even got benched […]
Adding wide receiver DK Metcalf is the main attraction of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason and will be the team’s top passing game target. But Aaron Rodgers is just as excited about the tight ends who populate the team’s depth chart, offering a wide variety of traits and skill sets that complement each other well. Rodgers […]
There was a lot of fanfare this offseason surrounding Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The will-they, won’t-they saga took up much of the offseason headlines. However, Rodgers finally signed with the Steelers before mandatory minicamp, and he made it clear that he’s all-in on the team now. Logan Lee recently backed that up, confirming […]
The National Football League is full of great rivalries. But when a lot of people think about physical, old-school football, they think of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens. Other rivalries have been around longer. After all, the Ravens took the field for the first time (as the Ravens) in 1996. But what the rivalry […]

T.J. Watt is currently in the midst of a contract dispute with the Pittsburgh Steelers. That’s because he’s one of the best players in the league, and he feels like he should be paid as such. Watt has been dominant in his eight seasons with the Steelers, accumulating 108 sacks. He’s the Steelers’ all-time sack […]
Diontae Johnson’s NFL career took a wrong turn last year. However, before that, he was a solid player for the Pittsburgh Steelers. In five seasons there, he recorded 4,363 receiving yards and scored 25 touchdowns, making one Pro Bowl. For a third-round pick, that’s great production. Recently, Johnson reflected on how he ended up with […]
The idea of cornerback Jaire Alexander joining the Pittsburgh Steelers was more theory than reality. Despite plenty of fans wishing Alexander would strengthen the Steelers’ secondary, he chose the AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens instead. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has detailed other teams in the mix. Pittsburgh wasn’t among them. Reporting over the weekend, Fowler indicated […]
For Pittsburgh Steelers fans, there’s no relaxing on the weekends come the fall. On Sundays, it’s watching the Steelers. On Saturdays, it’s watching who might be the future of the franchise. There’s little doubt Pittsburgh will be in the market for a first-round quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft, meaning the college quarterbacks who could […]
A new series to help take us through the rest of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2025 offseason. It’s easy to remember QB Ben Roethlisberger, RB Franco Harris, and WR Hines Ward. Players who routinely led the team as passers, rushers, and receivers. But those household names didn’t lead the way every single year. Since the 1970 […]
He’s new to the AFC North and will get immersed in the division quickly as a Pittsburgh Steelers starting cornerback, but already Darius Slay has his eyes on one offense within the division. That would be the Baltimore Ravens, not the Cincinnati Bengals, due to quarterback Lamar Jackson. Appearing on The Mina Kimes Show earlier […]
Being an undrafted free agent in the NFL can be a tough life. It’s usually an uphill battle to make the roster, and even when that happens, it’s tough for it to be sustained. Not everyone can have the same success that James Harrison did. However, rookie Max Hurleman is aiming to prove the Pittsburgh […]
Anytime a season ends with a five-game losing streak, there’s plenty of room for change. Not just to personnel, of which the Pittsburgh Steelers did plenty of this offseason, but to scheme. For 2025, the Steelers plan to approach things differently. Deep dives will begin once preseason games get started in August, but The Athletic […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers added 649 pounds to their defensive front in the 2025 NFL Draft. Derrick Harmon is naturally talked about more as the team’s first-round pick, but fifth-round DE Yahya Black has a chance to carve out a role for himself in his rookie season. Just one glance at his 6056, 336-pound frame, and […]
In a Pittsburgh Steelers offseason that’s been full of storylines, the latest one involves star edge rusher T.J. Watt. It’s not the first time Watt and the team have struggled to find common ground on a contract extension, but this go-around did include Watt making a statement by skipping mandatory minicamp last week. Many have […]
With all of the star power on the offensive side of the football in the AFC North, particularly in the passing game, somebody has to cover those guys and try to negate the high-flying attacks. Fortunately for the AFC North as a whole, there are quite a few big-name cornerbacks with high-end talent. There’s Denzel […]
Even with QB Aaron Rodgers, WR DK Metcalf, and a host of other changes made to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense, ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky isn’t convinced the team has made real progress. Echoing similar thoughts from earlier this year, Orlovsky has outstanding concerns over that side of the ball. “I still think the offense has […]
There are plenty of questions about Aaron Rodgers at this point in his career, especially being just two years removed from a torn Achilles, making his signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers an interesting fit. Despite questions about his mobility, there are no real ones about the arm strength, quick release or even the ability to […]
He’s still learning how Mike Tomlin operates on a day-to-day basis as the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but rookie QB Will Howard is learning one thing quickly: Tomlin is going to coach him hard and push him. For Howard, who appeared on the “Chipped Ham and Football” podcast with the Post-Gazette’s Brian Batko […]
ESPN NFL insider Peter Schrager is seemingly pushing back on the notion the Pittsburgh Steelers settled for Aaron Rodgers as their third choice behind Justin Fields and Matthew Stafford. Sharing his thoughts on The Pat McAfee Show Tuesday, Schrager thinks if there was a will, there would’ve been a way to keep Fields in Pittsburgh. […]
The T.J. Watt contract situation doesn’t seem all that great for the Pittsburgh Steelers right now, especially after Watt skipped mandatory minicamp in the midst of negotiations with the franchise. That came after he missed voluntary Organized Team Activities and previously posted a cryptic photo on Instagram in which he threw up the peace sign, […]
In 2024, the Pittsburgh Steelers dealt with a lot of turmoil. While their offense was better, it still wasn’t great, and their defense wilted to end the year. However, they still had several players post great seasons. Recently, CBS Sports analyst Pete Prisco released his list of the top 100 NFL players entering the 2025 […]
Bart Scott is on record believing Aaron Rodgers can lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to a playoff win. But if the team falls short of that mark for another season, Mike Tomlin’s seat should become warm. Monday, Scott suggested the organization parting with Tomlin may be the best outcome if 2025 ends like all other recent […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the most accomplished franchises in the NFL. They’re tied for the most Super Bowl victories by a team. Much of that is due to their success in the 1970s. Those teams won four championships, being one of the most dominant teams in NFL history. However, before that, they weren’t […]
It feels safe to say the Pittsburgh Steelers won’t be getting the MVP version of Aaron Rodgers in 2025. However, that might not be what they need to have a chance to contend in the AFC, more than just their annual first-round exit. Speaking on his 4th&1 With Cam Newton podcast in a video posted […]Pittsburgh is a city built on a blue-collar work ethic. Clocking in early, working long, hard days no matter the time of year, and getting home after sunset. The Pittsburgh Steelers have always aimed to embody the work ethic and grit that define the people of Pittsburgh. It’s why the Steelers moved on from talented […]
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III is in position to be the Steelers’ number two receiver heading into the 2025 season. The coaching staff seems to believe in his upside, with wide receiver coach Zach Azzanni affirming his confidence in Austin III this past Wednesday. Steelers WR coach Zach Azzanni emphatically declares Calvin Austin […]
One of the biggest questions surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers entering the 2025 season is if they can get over the hump in the playoffs for the first time since 2017, having gone one-and-done in five different trips. To try and get over that hump, the Steelers enlisted the four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers to be […]
For the fifth straight year, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have a different starting quarterback to open the season when Aaron Rodgers — assuming health — trots onto the field with the first-team offense on Sept. 7 at MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Jets. Rodgers will be the latest in line that includes […]
The Steelers’ offensive line took their lumps last season with so many young pieces getting their first NFL action. However, ahead of the 2025 season, expectations are high for the young Pittsburgh Steelers OL, led by second-year center Zach Frazier. For second-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, he believes that the young group, which will feature […]
The Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers’ rivalry runs deep. Though it’s largely one-sided over the last 25 years or so, there’s a lot of history between the Steelers and the Browns. Depending on what side of the rivalry you’re on, there’s a healthy hatred for the other side. Unless you’re the PGA Tour’s Jason Day. […]
Mike Tomlin has served as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach since 2007, and this offseason became the longest-tenured active head coach in American professional sports. But no one can coach forever, leaving NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero to wonder if that end date could be sooner than later. Joining The Rich Eisen Show Friday afternoon, Pelissero […]
For every first-round pick or high-prized free agent, there’s a dozen NFL players scratching and clawing to stick in the league. That’s the story of running back Jonathan Ward, a 2020 undrafted free agent who has bounced from team to team. Now, he hopes to stick with the Pittsburgh Steelers. On the roster since last […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered at least one major injury during OTAs with TE Donald Parham Jr. reportedly rupturing his Achilles. But they managed to escape the three days of mandatory minicamp without any injury concerns that should linger into training camp next month, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. “No injuries worth mentioning or things […]
After practicing on weekday mornings during training camp last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers are moving practice at Saint Vincent College back to 1:55 PM/ET this year. It’s a decision that Mike Tomlin said is due to the heat. As in he wants more of it — literally — as he told reporters today after 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! Brian Tollini: Hi, Alex! Have you watched the Aaron Rodgers doc “Enigma” on Netflix yet? Seems to be a unique and largely misunderstood guy, but certainly not everybody’s cup […]T.J. Watt is the family’s new sack leader.
