If Aaron Rodgers doesn’t sign, would the Steelers pivot to Kirk Cousins? It might not even be just about the cost of trading for him and then paying him. After all, that he is theoretically available is already a red flag. Mike Florio raised the question of whether they would actually have interest in him […]

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s whether or not they should sign free agent wide receiver Gabe Davis.

Davis is taking a visit to UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on Thursday, and the big question will be his health. He played through a knee injury last season before shutting it down and was expected to have surgery on his meniscus — a minor procedure. But Davis was released by the Jaguars with a failed...

The media narratives that emerged during the Pittsburgh Steelers’ three-game losing streak in December 2023 were brutal, and deservingly so. Everybody, including former players, were discussing the death of the “Steelers Way” and the Steelers haven’t been able to shake that question to this day. Every passing year with a late-season collapse and a one-and-done […]

Sports Illustrated painted a harsh reality regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation, ranking them 26th in the league in terms of backup quarterbacks. But the real concern? The quarterback they ranked that low is currently slated as the team’s QB1.

Like many outlets, Sports Illustrated made its rankings under the assumption that Aaron Rodgers would be under center for the Steelers by Week 1. While that’s still considered a strong possibility, the fact that the team is now into its second week of OTAs with no official signing raises some legitimate questions.

Despite public skepticism, head coach Mike Tomlin has...

The Steelers set the table for Broderick Jones in his third season, but will he be able to feast? Facing a pivotal season, he still has much to prove. Next offseason, the team has to decide whether to exercise his fifth-year option. Based on his first two seasons, he will have to work hard to […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ secondary has again undergone changes. Darius Slay is the latest veteran cornerback to be brought in. Juan Thornhill will offer depth at safety. Heck, they even added Quindell Johnson yesterday. But the name to keep an eye on this year is Cory Trice Jr. Entering his third NFL season, it’s a big […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver room wants to get grimy. While it’s a room that, on paper, could use another piece, wide receiver Calvin Austin III thinks it’s a “complete” room due to the unique traits that everyone brings. Speaking to the media today, Austin said that the whole room has a “little edge” to […]

Even though he is not under contract, Aaron Rodgers remains the most notable absence from the Steelers’ OTA practices. Assuming that he does intend to sign with the team, the fact that he isn’t here surely raises eyebrows. Players in the locker room are necessarily aware, because reporters keep asking them about it. And sometimes […]

Former Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick and veteran edge rusher Bud Dupree has earned a contract extension from the Los Angeles Chargers following a productive 2024 campaign.

Dupree, who was selected 22nd overall by the Steelers in the 2015 NFL Draft, entered the league with high expectations after a dominant college career at Kentucky. While he struggled early on with consistency and injuries, he eventually developed into a key piece of Pittsburgh’s defense. His breakout year came in 2019 when he posted 11.5 sacks, 68 tackles and four forced fumbles, forming one of the NFL’s most disruptive edge duos alongside [T.J....

We’ve made it to the end of...

While positions like quarterback, wide receiver, and EDGE rusher generate the most attention and buzz, particularly in the AFC North, games are won and lost in the trenches, particularly on the interior, on both sides of the football. When it comes to the interior defensive line, Pittsburgh Steelers’ All-Pro Cameron Heyward is the cream of […]

Player: CB Beanie Bishop Jr. Stock Value: Up Reasoning: While the media focuses on where Beanie Bishop Jr. wipes his feet, the second-year player is gearing up for 2025. After losing reps late last season, he is highly motivated to ensure that doesn’t happen again. He has come in this offseason with a renewed focus […]
