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 […]
When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded for wide receiver DK Metcalf in March, it seemed their offense was poised to have one of the NFL’s most dangerous combinations at the position. George Pickens and Metcalf as two talented downfield playmakers who would dictate how defenses played Pittsburgh. That thought lasted only two months when Pittsburgh traded […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers recently solved one problem, only to have another one pop up soon after. For most of this offseason, the conversation around the Steelers has centered on Aaron Rodgers. However, now that Rodgers is signed, T.J. Watt is the big story in town. Specifically, Watt’s contract situation. He’s going into the last year […]
As T.J. Watt skips out on mandatory minicamp in the midst of contract negotiations with the Pittsburgh Steelers, his absence opens up an opportunity for others behind him. That includes rookie fourth-round outside linebacker Jack Sawyer, who is drawing quite a bit of praise and attention from outside linebackers coach Denzel Martin. Martin, speaking to […]
Almost 15 years ago, Aaron Rodgers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl. Now, he’s slated to be their starting quarterback this year. While Rodgers isn’t the same player he once was, he still looked decent last year. However, at 41 years old, there’s no telling if he’ll continue to regress. There are a […]
Since Ben Roethlisberger retired, the Pittsburgh Steelers have struggled to find consistency at quarterback. They tried to find his successor in Kenny Pickett, but that pick didn’t pan out. Over the past two years, they’ve opted to use free agency to find their starter. Last season, it was Russell Wilson. Now, it’s Aaron Rodgers. There’s […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t found their franchise quarterback. That much is clear. But does the blame rest on Mike Tomlin or someone else in the front office? That’s what NightCap debated in the latest edition of their show, inviting current NFL free agent and outside linebacker Matthew Judon to share his thoughts. Making a claim […]
It’s finally official: Aaron Rodgers is a Pittsburgh Steeler. One area of his game that bleeds Black and Gold is a fantastic interception rate over his long two-decade career, aligning perfectly with the organization’s mantra to win the turnover battle. Let’s look at the best quarterbacks in all-time career interception rates and career starts to […]
The ink is dry, and the deal is done. Aaron Rodgers is officially a Pittsburgh Steeler. After months of hinting and teasing, the four-time MVP will be the team’s starting quarterback in 2025, but is that really an upgrade? The Steelers seem to certainly think so. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler broke down team and the league […]
Aaron Rodgers dealt with the sting of his former team drafting his replacement in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He gave the team grief for that decision, but still managed to have a decent relationship with Jordan Love by the time he was traded to the New York Jets in 2023. Now […]The Pittsburgh Steelers already officially announced that they agreed to terms with four-time MVP QB Aaron Rodgers on Thursday evening, but it was still pending a physical. As of last night, he hadn’t arrived in Pittsburgh for his physical and subsequent contract signing. He arrived this morning, per Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac on X. Just […]
No Pittsburgh Steelers draft pick has had the hype quarterback Will Howard has generated this offseason. Despite being a sixth-round selection who isn’t expected to play a snap his rookie season, Howard has been the focus of fans and media, at least before Aaron Rodgers informed the Steelers he was signing with the team. Howard’s […]
The 2024 season was an interesting one for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Much of that was because of their quarterback situation. It felt like Russell Wilson was always going to be their starter, but an injury kept him out for the first six weeks of the season. That gave Justin Fields an opportunity to showcase his […]
Over the past few years, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has mostly been a disaster. Much of that has been because of their quarterback play. However, their offensive line has been a huge issue, too. Thankfully, they’ve taken strides to improve that unit. The Steelers have added several young, talented linemen, including Zach Frazier, Troy Fautanu, […]
In maybe the boldest take of the Aaron Rodgers saga, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch believes if Rodgers waits until July 24 to opt-in, he shouldn’t be the starter come Sept. 7. During an interview with Kay Adams Wednesday, Batch said Rodgers should take a backseat to Mason Rudolph if his delay extends well […]
One of the biggest stories for the Pittsburgh Steelers throughout OTAs has been the absence of T.J. Watt. While OTAs are voluntary, the Steelers tend to have a good turnout. That’s why Watt not being there has been noticeable. It’s unclear what his reasons are, but his contract situation likely has something to do with […]
While quarterback Aaron Rodgers drew headlines for not attending the first week of Pittsburgh Steelers’ OTAs, he was hardly the only notable absence during the team’s first week of spring practice. Of those under contract, and Rodgers is not, WR DK Metcalf and EDGE T.J. Watt were two Steelers’ starters who didn’t appear at any […]
Eight players who would go on to become Pittsburgh Steelers made the initial 2026 College Football Hall of Fame ballot. The National Football Foundation released the initial list Monday with more than a half-dozen ex-Steelers populating it: OT Flozell Adams, WR Troy Edwards, OG Alan Faneca, NT Casey Hampton, WR Antwaan Randle El, DB Donnell […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t made many obvious trade blunders in recent memory. Former GM Kevin Colbert believed in building a contending team through the draft, consistently hitting on early-round picks and hitting on enough late-round flyers to take the team over the top. Since Omar Khan took over as GM in 2022, the Steelers have […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have maintained their elite defensive reputation over the years because the veteran defenders set a high standard for the younger guys and do their best to mentor them along the way. Cam Heyward has been a vocal, veteran leader for the entire defense for years now. T.J. Watt sets the example for […]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...
