Ben Roethlisberger is a Hall of Fame quarterback. That much is known by anyone who watched his 18-year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The only question is the timing of Roethlisberger’s induction and whether or not he’s a first ballot Hall of Famer. By this time next offseason, that question will be answered. But with […]

Omar Khan has been in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ front office for a quarter century. Figuratively speaking, his voice is one of the loudest in the building in decision-making as the team’s general manager.
Prominent talking head Colin Cowherd has his doubts about Khan, who succeeded Kevin Colbert after he walked away in 2022. Khan began as the Steelers’ football operations coordinator from the time he was hired until 2011, when he was promoted to director of football administration. In 2016, Khan became the vice president of football and business administration.
Cowherd believes the fact that Khan stuck around so long...
The offseason calendar in the NFL continues to fly by. In the blink of an eye, the first voluntary Organized Team Activities session for the Pittsburgh Steelers has come and gone. A few more remain between now and the start of mandatory minicamp. Before you know it, report day in Latrobe for training camp will […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers brand used to carry lofty expectations. For years, the organization was viewed as the gold standard for how to build and sustain a contender, but a lengthy stretch without a playoff win and a dramatic shift in roster construction diminished that reputation in the eyes of some around the league. “Their front […]

Let’s jump right to what we know about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation. Aaron Rodgers is the starter and Drew Allar will be on the roster, likely as the third stringer. Why? Simply because the team invested a third round pick and you don’t put those guys on the Practice Squad. The real question is centered around who survives between the veteran Mason Rudolph and the second-year man Will Howard. According to many, it’s a done deal based strictly on OTAs and I’m here to put the brakes on that – for the time being.
Rudolph has a cap hit...

Mike McCarthy made clear upon his hire that the nuts and bolts of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense would remain the same. The 3-4 defense used for the past 50 years would live on, and tweaks, not wholesale changes, would be made. If there’s one area more likely to shift than others, it’s in the secondary. […]

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 the idea of whether the Steelers are just a quarterback away from being a future Super Bowl contender. Aaron Rodgers is here for the 2026 season, but has announced it will be his last. Is his replacement the only piece the Steelers need to solidify themselves as contenders for the future?
Alan breaks it down:

Tyler Loop’s missed kick as the literal last play of the 2025 regular season will be remembered forever. But it was Calvin Austin III’s touchdown that served as its final points, vaulting the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of the Baltimore Ravens in their eventual victory to win the division and go to the playoffs. A game […]

The Steelers currently have four quarterbacks on their roster in 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers, experienced veteran Mason Rudolph, second-year pro […]

PITTSBURGH — Mason McCormick spent the past two seasons making 31 starts at right guard for the Pittsburgh Steelers. When Mike McCarthy’s team kicked off its OTAs last week, the third-year South Dakota State product and offensive tackle Troy Fautanu both lined up on the opposite side.
“I feel like whatever you do more recently probably feels more natural,” McCormick said after last Wednesday’s practice. “And that’s not to say it won’t feel natural. It totally will be natural. And so I don’t really have a preference either way.”
McCormick put his hand in the dirt at left guard during...
The Steelers should have their best offensive line in years, and it shouldn’t take long to show, one reporter believes. Even with the potential of losing two starters from last season, Mark Kaboly sees a unit in great shape. And unlike past years, with the new coaching staff, he doesn’t see them needing to warm […]

Under Mike Tomlin, the Pittsburgh Steelers were known for having the NFL’s most physical and intense training camps. How Mike McCarthy runs the show remains to be seen, but there’s already signs it’ll be a little less ferocious as the years before. Based on last week’s schedule release alone, there’s two signs that point to […]
