After 19 years cultivating this team, including a recent infusion of veterans, who could be out? Longtime NFL inside Judy Battista envisions significant turnover going forward for the franchise.

During his lengthy Pittsburgh Steelers coaching tenure, Mike Tomlin was apt to remind people that the team he was in charge of had one standard. As the franchise approaches a new horizon, Steelers president Art Rooney II stressed on Wednesday that he feels seasons during which it’s out of the title race are a waste of time.
On his podcast, Wave’s Bomani Jones offered a reminder that the Steelers’ early history was mediocre, implying that fans might be expecting too much.
“This is the thing that people don’t know,” Jones said. “Prior to Chuck Noll, you can make an argument...
The Steelers have a head coach vacancy for the first time in 19 years, and they have some big shoes to fill with Mike Tomlin resigning. Tomlin’s former boss, Tony Dungy, had some thoughts on who should succeed him. And apparently, he did a pretty good job, since the Steelers are on the books for […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have re-signed safety Jack Henderson to a reserve/future contract for the 2026 season, the team announced on Wednesday.
Henderson, who spent time on the Steelers practice squad in 2025, was released by the Miami Dolphins on Jan. 9, putting the hyper-athletic safety back on the open market.
Henderson initially signed with the Steelers practice squad on Oct. 6 and was not elevated for a game during his time with the team. He was released on Nov. 20, a week after the team re-claimed fellow rookie safety Sebastian Castro.
Before his time with the Steelers, Henderson had been...

The Steelers made a splash by trading for Jalen Ramsey last summer, but was he—and more importantly, is he—worth the money? While they brought him in to assume a versatile role, he ultimately settled in at safety. And he had plenty of bright spots there, but at what price? Former Steelers DL Chris Hoke doesn’t […]

What an eventful week it has been for the Pittsburgh Steelers, from being eliminated from the playoffs on Monday night to the surprise resignation of longtime head coach Mike Tomlin the following day, this offseason is off to a wild start.
With a franchise-record nine straight seasons without a postseason win, it’s not hyperbole to say that this is an organization at a crossroads, needing to turn over every stone in an effort to escape from the NFL’s dreaded middle-class purgatory. Over the last 48 hours, several of their top candidates have been revealed and unsurprisingly, there’s a common theme...
The Pittsburgh Steelers have cut loose their entire coaching staff from the 2025 team, following the resignation of head coach Mike Tomlin, allowing all of the team’s coaches to seek jobs elsewhere, with the staff being told they will only be retained if the new head coach seeks them out.
That’s a departure for the Steelers, who held over a half-dozen coaches from Bill Cowher’s staff to Mike Tomlin’s in 2007, and also kept one on the payroll from Chuck Noll’s final staff to Cowher’s first in 1992.
It also doesn’t sit will with at least one of the team’s...

While his critics continue to harp on penalties, he has been arguably a top-10 coverage cornerback in the league. He had two more passes defensed in […]

Oklahoma Sooners quarterback John Mateer is the latest player to withdraw his name from the 2026 NFL Draft class, as Oklahoma announced that Mateer is returning to school for the 2026 season.
Mateer had been considered a late day two or early day three prospect if he had come out in what is a rapidly thinning quarterback class this season. Instead, he will return to school to attempt to battle it out in what looks like a loaded 2027 class.
Mateer saw his draft stock fall from a high of the middle of the first round by the middle of...
Popular sports television personality Colin Cowherd sparked debate this week with a bold take on how the Pittsburgh Steelers could better position themselves for the future, and it involved trading franchise cornerstone T.J. Watt for draft capital.
Speaking on The Herd, Cowherd revisited a stance he’s held for years.
“A couple of years ago, when I said I’d move T.J. Watt and get more picks, that was outrageous,” Cowherd said. “T.J.’s 0-for-5 in the playoffs. How outrageous is it?”
Cowherd is often criticized for delivering provocative, sometimes borderline idiotic takes, but this one may hit closer to an uncomfortable...
“I’m sorry” were the only words QB Aaron Rodgers could muster after former Steelers HC Mike Tomlin informed the players of his resignation. According to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic, their final meeting was an emotional one, hitting the veteran players the hardest. T.J. Watt just kept repeating the word “No” as Tomlin made the […]
