Steelers Now
The Pittsburgh 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.
Colin Cowherd of FS1 is not impressed with the Steelers’ offseason moves. He thinks they’re just throwing things at the wall and hoping it sticks.
“So they get rid of a safety, who’s a little past his prime, and they add a corner, who’s more expensive, Jalen Ramsey, who’s past his prime. They get rid of a very high-maintenance wide receiver in George Pickens, and then they inherit a wide receiver who can be high-maintenance, DK Metcalf. You’re just making moves to make moves. There is no plan. If you were to move off George Pickens and acquire Terry McLaurin, the adult in the room, that’s a move I’d get,” Cowherd said on FS1’s The Herd.
