The Steelers thought they got a bargain on damaged goods with Payton Wilson in 2024, but can he still take that next step? That year, he “fell” to the third round because teams around the league had medical concerns about his knee. While those concerns haven’t yet surfaced, he also hasn’t transcended the talent they […]

As we’ve done in previous years, we’re taking a look at Pittsburgh Steelers on Reserve/Future contracts for the 2026 offseason, discussing what we can expect from them during training camp and (hopefully) into the regular season. Today, an outlook on WR Brandon Smith. Brandon Smith/WR Iowa – 6013, 218 pounds Brandon Smith certainly isn’t the […]

Hey Steelers Fans. Welcome to Monday.

The Kickoff

This Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the Steelers will host their ‘mandatory’ mini-camp. Generally, teams use this opportunity to install their offensive and defensive schemes. Making this rather mundane item more enticing this year is of course the fact that the team has a new head coach. Any time you have a new head coach, this opportunity becomes much more important. New coaching staffs mean new terminology and new ways of doing things and with the Collective Bargaining Agreement being what it is, time is limited. The one bit of good news...

After 19 years of Mike Tomlin, it’s fair to say Mike McCarthy and his Steelers coaching staff are doing things their own way.

The byproduct, at least to those observing so far, is a more cohesive whole than […]

The New York Giants are working out free-agent wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster, Braxton Berrios and Odell Beckham Jr. on Monday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Smith-Schuster played in Kansas City with Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy.

Smith-Schuster, 29, spent the last two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. In 14 games in 2024, Smith-Schuster had 18 catches for 231 yards and two touchdowns. Last season, he caught 33 passes for 345 yards and...

A former star of the Pittsburgh Steelers likes what he’s seen from new head coach Mike McCarthy.

New Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy has some big shoes to fill following the retirement of Mike Tomlin. However, former Steelers cornerback Joe Haden is very impressed with what he’s seen from McCarthy so far.

“Every time I hear Mike McCarthy talk, he’s talking ball, he’s talking fundamentals, he’s talking facts, he’s talking real ball stuff. I love every time I hear him talk,” Haden said on the Deebo & Joe podcast.

That’s certainly good to hear as there has been a...

Roman Wilson may be an afterthought to many, but not to the new Steelers coaching staff, and the love has proven mutual. It’s far too early to tell what role he might have this season, but he is putting in the work. And his efforts are being noticed, not just by HC Mike McCarthy but […]

🏈 Mark Madden of 105.9 the X ripped former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for his petty take on Drew Allar.

“When I’m watching him do three-step drops, that makes me incredibly nervous,” Roethlisberger said on his Footbahlin podcast. “You might say, ‘Why? You’re refining things.’ There’s a difference in refining things and teaching. When we did football camps, the first thing you’re teaching the youngest kids is how to do a three-step drop. …

“Maybe they’re working on the three-step drop to be more...

While the Steelers don’t want to completely remove Keeanu Benton from the nose tackle position, they want to experiment. And so does he. Entering a contract year, more than ever, he sounds open to other avenues of playing time. For years, he has defended his ability to play nose tackle. Going into the 2026 season […]
