Wilson spent one year with the Steelers in 2024. After missing the first six games due to injury, he took over for Justin Fields, who helped Pittsburgh begin the season 4-2. Wilson led the Steelers...

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson will turn the page to television, as he has accepted an offer to join NFL Today, the Sunday pregame show on CBS, according to a report by Front Office Sports.
Wilson, who had offers to play as a team’s backup quarterback this season, will not officially retire, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
One of those offers was with the New York Jets, who offered Wilson a job to back up Geno Smith during a free agent visit on April 28. Smith served as Wilson’s understudy with the Seattle Seahawks from 2019-21.

Every rep this spring is crucial for Pittsburgh Steelers second-year running back Kaleb Johnson. The Iowa product is coming off a disappointing rookie campaign after being selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Many thought that with the departure of Najee Harris, Johnson would be the No. 2 back behind Jaylen Warren. That however, was not the case.
As a rookie, Johnson appeared in just 10 games, carrying the ball 28 times for 69 yards – good for just 2.5 yards per carry – while Kenneth Gainwell was the de facto No. 1 back in a surprise...

The calendar shifts to June, and the start of Pittsburgh Steelers mandatory minicamp is here. All 91 players on offseason roster are required to be at the South Side facility for the three-day session under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy, but a lot of eyes will be on fourth-year cornerback Joey Porter Jr., who is […]

When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed TE Pat Freiermuth to a sizable extension, they envisioned him as an offensive cornerstone. Instead, Freiermuth spent too much of last season watching from the sideline as Jonnu Smith consistently earned the lion’s share of snaps. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac thinks the new coaching staff will make it right […]

He was already an impactful defender when on the field as a rookie, but entering his second lap around the track, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Derrick Harmon is poised to take off. At least, that’s what new defensive line coach Domata Peko, who spoke with reporters last week during OTAs, believes. “The way I think […]

After adding Jamel Dean in free agency, re-signing Asante Samuel Jr., and selecting Georgia’s Daylen Everette in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers look much improved at the cornerback position entering 2026. Dean shores up the CB2 role opposite Joey Porter Jr., a position that was in flux last season […]

Part of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason spending spree was signing running back Rico Dowdle to a two-year, $12.25 million dollar deal, effectively as a replacement for Kenneth Gainwell, who departed earlier in free agency.
This was seen as a pretty predictable pairing, given his history playing four seasons for Mike McCarthy in Dallas, the last of which was his first ever 1,000+ rushing campaign of his career in 2024.
Coincidentally, Pittsburgh’s incumbent starter Jaylen Warren is coming off the most productive year after finally surpassing the 200-carry threshold. With two talented backs on the roster, it’s worth pondering how this...
