A former quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers is hanging up his cleats for good.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson has officially announced his retirement following 14 seasons in the NFL.

Wilson reportedly had a couple of offers to play as a team’s backup quarterback this season....

Pittsburgh Steelers receiver DK Metcalf, known mainly for snaring passes and making life hard on defensive backs, is trying his hand at something else.

In a Wednesday afternoon post on his Instagram story, Metcalf announced that he’s authored a children’s book — titled “Elbow Joe” and illustrated by Davey Jarrell. The paperback book, which releases on June 15, is currently available for preorder for $14.99 on Amazon.

Metcalf used his full first name — DeKaylin — on the book’s author byline. He told Steelers Now last season that he’s proud to be recognized by his own name, being that he...

The 2025 Pittsburgh Steelers season ended the same way their most recent ones have. They made the playoffs, but they got blown out in the first round.

Nick Herbig made it clear that he wants to stay with the Pittsburgh Steelers for his entire career, and the team clearly feels the same way about him.

However, their presence figures to eat up opportunities in the wide receiver room, and that might not […]

With Nick Herbig now signed to a four-year extension, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a high-priced, crowded outside linebacker room. It’s not a bad problem to have, but along with T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, Pittsburgh now has three expensive edge rushers all tied down well into the future. That’s making some wonder whether Watt or […]

In the midst of contract negotiations on an extension, Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Nick Herbig made sure to show up for his teammates on the first day of mandatory minicamp.

A year ago, Mike Tomlin made sure that Joey Porter Jr. understood Jalen Ramsey was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ top cornerback. In 2026, the tables have turned. Porter is the team’s No. 1, a reality Ramsey has no problem admitting. “Joey is CB1. Joey’s the guy,” Ramsey told reporters Wednesday via a team-provided transcript. “The growth […]
