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 […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost more than 1,000 special teams snaps in offseason free agency departures, not to mention undergoing a coordinator change from Danny Smith to Danny Crossman. It raised some concerns about the Steelers’ outlook on special teams in 2026 and beyond. But the Steelers can lean on second-year linebacker Carson Bruener to […]

PITTSBURGH — New Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has made his expectations clear to his defensive unit. He wants to bring back the Steel Curtain style of defense that has been missing in Pittsburgh.

“PG’s been really clear. He wants it to be the Steel Curtain,” Steelers linebacker Payton Wilson said on Monday after the team’s first OTAs practice. “We have to earn that right, that’s not just something that comes with being a part of the Steelers. Those were some great, great defenses that have earned that name, so I mean the identity is still the same, we’re...

With OTAs beginning for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team is on the field as a whole for the first time in the Mike McCarthy era. While all the attention has been on the quarterback position, specifically Aaron Rodgers returning for a 22nd season, the Steelers’ offensive line has several new faces – most notably, first-round pick Max Iheanachor.

The Arizona State product was drafted as a right tackle, but offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio says that they will try him out at multiple positions on the offensive line.

“We’ll move him around,” Angelichio said to the media. “[We’ll] take some looks...

PITTSBURGH — Aaron Rodgers is back in his black and gold No. 8 jersey, laying the groundwork for his 22nd NFL season. The four-time Associated Press NFL MVP and future Pro Football Hall of Famer can’t move around like he used to, but with a young and budding offensive line in front of him, he hopes not to have to.

Offensive tackle Troy Fautanu and guard Mason McCormick manned the right side of the front last season, but both flipped sides during Monday’s OTA practice during the portion of the session that media was permitted to watch.

“Obviously, me and...

The Pittsburgh Steelers struggled to find consistent production from their receivers last year. As a result, they went out and got a solid starting duo for themselves, including DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. But those won’t be the only names looking to make an impact, with Germie Bernard and Roman Wilson battling for snaps […]

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers’ first round didn’t go as planned during last month’s 2026 NFL Draft, as they watched the cross-state rival Philadelphia Eagles swoop in ahead of them and pluck now-former USC receiver Makai Lemon.

Mike McCarthy’s team is hoping they guy they took at No. 21 overall instead, Max Iheanachor, can take away the sting of embarrassment from that ordeal. Early on, according to third-year offensive tackle Troy Fautanu, arrows are pointing up.

“Max is asking all the right questions,” Fautanu said after Monday’s OTA practice. “Obviously, I’m still asking questions, too, only having a year under...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a strong veteran core on the defensive side of the ball. It’s a tight-knit unit with players such as T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Cameron Heyward, and Patrick Graham is the new voice leading them. To ingratiate himself with his new players and get to know them better, Graham is taking […]

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk thinks Will Howard‘s future with the Pittsburgh Steelers is on the brink of being over. It would not surprise him if Howard ends up being cut or traded in the crowded four-man quarterback room.

“I think Will Howard’s going to be the odd man out, unless someone gets injured,” Florio said on Monday’s episode of his Pro Football Talk podcast. “You’ve got four guys. You need four guys for now. Go ahead, give him an opportunity. The thing that helps Mason Rudolph is, if Aaron Rodgers gets injured, who do you want to step...

Aaron Rodgers is back for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the hot takes are flying. For better or worse, during a slow time for NFL news, the Rodgers signing has given pundits a transaction to opine about long after most significant free agents have inked their deals. While the official signing comes as no surprise, it […]

In terms of talent, Antonio Brown is one of the 10 best players to ever put on a Steelers uniform. It’s what has come after that has really stained his legacy.

Since leaving the Steelers, a slew of legal issues and social media rants bashing his former team have led many to sour on the former All-Pro receiver. His latest tirade took aim at former teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster, saying that the Steelers tried to make the USC product a better player than Brown.

“And the guy they did wanna make better than me fumbled [our] whole season,” Brown said. “And...

The Pittsburgh Steelers rebuilt their wide receiver corps this offseason, trading for Michael Pittman Jr. and drafting Germie Bernard. Pittman figures to be the team’s No. 2 receiver beside DK Metcalf, while Bernard could fight for the No. 3 spot. It looks like the Steelers are set at wideout, but perhaps they could add another […]
