One of the biggest storylines for the Pittsburgh Steelers in OTAs is who isn’t in attendance. Through two days, there have been a few players who haven’t been seen. That includes T.J.

OTAs have started, and Aaron Rodgers still isn’t a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. While it seems like he’ll eventually join the team, that’s not guaranteed. That leaves Mason Rudolph as the Steelers’ starter. That might not inspire a ton of confidence in many fans, but Bucky Brooks believes there’s a path to success for […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers need a quarterback. Aside from just the quarterback position, though, the rest of the offense leaves something to be desired as well. The unit has undergone significant changes this offseason, but it doesn’t seem to have improved much. On Wednesday, Fox Sports’ David Helman ranked all 32 supporting casts in the league, […]

“Everybody has to buy in, and this is the time that you need to be bought in,” Slay said. “Guys have families. I have one as well. You want to be a champion? There are things you have to sacrifice, and this is one of the jobs I want to sacrifice. I...

If you’re sick of reading about Aaron Rodgers (and trust us, we’re sick of writing about it), you have something in common with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ locker room. Even after just one day of OTA practices, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo got the feeling players are tired of the ongoing saga that has no end […]

It’s been a rather interesting offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers under GM Omar Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin, especially as they continue to wait out a decision from 41-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers might not have any remorse regarding the situation they’re in at quarterback, and they might not have truly liked all […]

Steelers offensive tackle Broderick Jones spoke to reporters on Wednesday about his return to left tackle and new offseason approach.

**PITTSBURGH–**When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded up and drafted Broderick Jones 14h overall in 2023, the idea was he would be the cornerstone left tackle. In his first two seasons, he got more work at right tackle instead. On Wednesday, Jones was excited to be back on the blind side.
