Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro defensive tackle Cam Heyward is heading his 15th NFL season. At age 35, Heyward knows he only has so many chances to accomplish one last thing to end his Hall of Fame career. And that’s to hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
Heyward believes the Steelers are set up to make a run.
“There are a lot of things I still want to accomplish in this league. And the first thing that comes to mind is holding one of those Lombardi’s one day,” Heyward told WWE superstar Seth Rollins, who was filling in as the host on The Rich Eisen Show. “And I feel like we have the team to do it. You gotta love the way our staff and organization goes about every year, saying we’re trying to compete for a championship. It’s not like we’re trying to rebuild or hold anybody back. We know what this city wants, and as players, we want to answer that call.”
The Steelers have made a slew of moves this offseason. The roster turnover is truly unprecedented, as Pittsburgh will go into the 2025 season with nine new starters.
Despite the major turnover, the Steelers are favored in only six of their 17 games in 2025. The oddsmakers are apparently not too impressed with the additions of Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Darius Slay, Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith.
The Steelers are listed as favorites in Week 1 at the Jets (-3), Week 2 vs. the Seahawks (-1.5), Week 6 vs. the Browns (-6.5), Week 9 vs. the Colts (-3.5), Week 15 vs. the Dolphins (-2.5), and Week 17 at the Browns (-2.5).
The over/under for the Steelers’ total wins in the 2025 is still set at 8.5 wins.
The Steelers’ Super Bowl odds at FanDuel sportsbook increased after landing Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith, but it was nothing drastic. The Steelers’ odds to win the Super Bowl before the trade were at +4700. They are now at +4400, which was tied with the Chicago Bears for 16th-best odds. The Bears have since moved to +4300.
At DraftKings sportsbook, Pittsburgh (+3500) and Miami’s (+8000) Super Bowl odds did not change at all after the blockbuster trade.
On paper, the Steelers’ roster has improved this offseason, especially with the addition of Rodgers at quarterback. He is most likely only a one-year rental, though. A long-term answer at quarterback most likely will be addressed in the 2026 NFL Draft.
