The Pittsburgh Steelers already have two young quarterbacks on their roster, Will Howard and Drew Allar. But the team might still have a chance to bring in another young quarterback if Texas Tech’s Brendan Sorsby enters the supplemental draft. Whether he will remains to be seen. But if he does, Steelers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo […]

The moment the Steelers selected Penn State’s Drew Allar in the 2026 NFL Draft, it became inevitable: We were in for an offseason of quarterback discourse.
A few weeks later, Pittsburgh made the long-awaited signing of Aaron Rodgers, leaving the team with four roster-able quarterbacks in the league that tends to only keep three after cutdown day.
How do you see it playing out?
There’s still a lot of the offseason to play out, but here are my initial thoughts:
Rodgers and Allar (despite what Chris Simms might think) are the...
Behind the Steel Curtain
PITTSBURGH — Say it with me: “There is no such thing as a natural position for an offensive lineman.”
Allow the stress of overreacting to the Pittsburgh Steelers moving their offensive lineman leave your body.
Close your eyes and imagine Craig Wolfley, frolicking downfield as a pulling guard. Then remember that The Wolf Man moved to tackle late in his Steelers career. Remember that Alan Faneca was an All-Pro, even when forced to play tackle for a season due to injuries. Remember that Dermontti Dawson started his Hall of Fame career at guard before moving to center.

After dramatically winning the AFC North last season, the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves set to play a first-place schedule in 2026. Following the Week 9 bye, the Steelers enter a difficult stretch of games against powerhouse teams, including the Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Baltimore Ravens. Before that stretch of games, […]

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Troy Fautanu thinks Mike McCarthy‘s offense is very similar to the offense he played under at Washington.
“The first thing that I thought of when they started talking about it is that it kind of reminded me of my offense in college. A lot of passing the ball,” Fautanu said.
There’s no doubt about it, McCarthy loves to employ 11 personnel (one running back, one tight end, three wide receivers) and throw the ball all over the field.
Fautanu is excited to play under an offensive-minded head coach again.
“He’s awesome. Small sample size....
Cameron Johnston’s NFL career has taken some wild turns. He signed with the Steelers on a hefty contract for a punter in 2024 but played in just one game before suffering a devastating knee injury. Since then, he’s found it difficult to regain his NFL footing. However, the cards seem to be in Johnston’s favor […]

Aaron Rodgers is back for a second season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not everyone is excited about that, though. Many people wanted the Steelers to move on from Rodgers, thinking that the quarterback is too old to rely on over the course of a full season. He turns 43 in early December, so that’s not […]

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. made a recruiting pitch to ex-Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster on Tuesday.
Smith-Schuster wrote “Sheesh !!!” in response to Pittman posting a photo of him at the first day of OTAs on Monday.
Pittman responded, “When you coming home OG?”
Pittman and Smith-Schuster were teammates at USC for one season in 2016.
Smith-Schuster, 29, is currently a free agent after spending 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...
Travis Homer has one path to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 53-man roster. It’s the same path that has kept him in the NFL for what he hopes will be his eighth season this year. Special teams are the name of the game for Homer, who signed a one-year contract with the Steelers this offseason. A running […]

PITTSBURGH — New Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio gave an early indication of what the foreseeable future could hold for 2026 first-round pick Max Iheanachor.
“I mean, we’ll move him around, take some looks at him, see where he fits well, and he will learn multiple positions,” Angelichio said.
In addition to many other position rooms, the offensive line has been one of the biggest topics of conversation throughout the offseason, especially when it comes to how everything will shake out. The general theme, not only for Iheanachor but for the entire room, seems to be versatility. The Steelers...
Aaron Rodgers has returned to the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is another sign they want to compete for a Super Bowl this year. Whether or not that’s realistic is up for debate, though. The Steelers won their division last year, but they subsequently got blown out in the playoffs. It’s been almost a decade since they’ve […]
