In the process of building their roster, the Pittsburgh Steelers wanted to win games through the strength of their defense. As long as the offense took care of the ball and took advantage of field position, the Steelers would love their chances. Through much of the first seven games, that wasn’t the case. However, Sunday’s […]

The clock is ticking on the NFL trade deadline, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are at a crossroads. A bold move could push them past fringe contender status, but a misstep might burn key 2026 draft assets and jeopardize their search for a franchise quarterback. Is there really a need for another wide receiver? That’s been […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t look like the team people thought they would be for much of this season. While the Steelers are usually defined by their defense, their offense has carried them more often this season. However, that changed in Week 9. The Indianapolis Colts had the best offense in the league, and the Steelers […]

The Miami Dolphins have been open to trading five-time Pro Bowl safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, and there has been interest from multiple teams, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
Miami already traded edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday morning for a third-round pick. Star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle could be on the move, too. With general manager Chris Grier fired last week after the team’s 2-7 start, it seems to be a fire sale in Miami.
With the Steelers trading Fitzpatrick to Miami this offseason, a reunion in Pittsburgh is not possible unless Fitzpatrick is cut by...

The Pittsburgh Steelers snapped their two-game losing streak in impressive fashion, upsetting the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. For the second time this season, the Steelers forced at least five turnovers, which was obviously a massive reason for the win. However, The 33rd Team’s Sam Monson thinks those were more about Colts mistakes than what the […]

The Steelers got a huge win on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts in a game that featured six takeaways by their defense. They now get set to head across the country to face the Chargers in Los Angeles on Sunday Night Football.
While the Steelers are coming off their biggest win of the season, they are unsurprisingly the underdogs in this game. Per FanDuel Sportsbook, Pittsburgh is a three-point dog to the Chargers. Seeing that they are the road team and making the long trip, this feels like a fair spread between two of the AFC’s top teams in terms...

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly planning on adding wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the practice squad this week, per Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
To make room on the practice squad, the Steelers announced on Monday that they have released cornerback Beanie Bishop from the practice unit.
The move is slightly surprising since Bishop was a starter on defense just a year ago.
The former West Virginia corner has spent the entire season practicing with the team, but has been left off the active roster. Bishop was released when the Steelers narrowed their roster to 53 players out of...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made it official and are signing wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Fowler reported last week that the veteran receiver would be heading to Pittsburgh, and now the two sides have come to an agreement.
Valdes-Scantling spent 2018-21 with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, catching 13 touchdown passes in that span. The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday at 4:00 EST, meaning the Steelers have less than 24 hours to make a trade for another pass-catcher or impact defender to aid them in the second half of the season as they make a push...

The Cleveland Browns are releasing former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Damontae Kazee, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
It was an agreement between player and team, with Kazee forfeiting over $200,000 in guarantees for the chance to find playing time elsewhere, per Garafolo.
Kazee, who played for the Steelers from 2022-2024, was active for four games with the 2-6 Browns.
Kazee played in 38 games and made 14 starts for the Steelers during his three-year tenure. He mostly served as a backup to starting free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and also was the third safety in the team’s Heavy Nickel package....
The Pittsburgh Steelers have released cornerback Beanie Bishop from their practice squad, the team announced on Monday.
Bishop had not appeared in a game with the team this season, despite significant turnover at the cornerback position and injuries to Cory Trice and Donte Kent.
Bishop, 25, first signed with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent out of West Virginia in 2024. The 5-foot-9, 182-pound defensive back found a home as a slot cornerback in Pittsburgh, helping to replace Cam Sutton while he served a suspension at the start of the 2024 season.
In his rookie season, Bishop appeared in...
