With training camp two weeks away, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 91-man roster is pretty much set. There’s been an offseason full of changes. By my count, there are 39 players on it who didn’t end the 2025 season with the team. That’s well over 40 percent. The question will be if there becomes a 40th. Perhaps […]

Darnell Washington has often been coy about his true weight. Listed at a clearly incorrect and pre-NFL Draft 264 pounds, Washington made headlines last year when he revealed he weighed 311 pounds. Now, a teammate is offering an update and where Washington plans to be as part of Pittsburgh’s stricter weigh-in policies. “Try 320,” tight […]

This decade hasn’t been pretty for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They’ve yet to win a playoff game in the 2020s, and while they still haven’t posted a losing record, the franchise has been stuck in a mediocre rut. Analyst Mike Renner believes their recent draft history is a big part of that problem. “I did an […]

The World Cup primarily being help in football stadiums have held a mirror up to the NFL’s decision to have turf fields. Or in the case of the Pittsburgh Steelers, a questionable grass one. Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio took the team to task for substandard conditions, and wouldn’t accept the usual rationale of why […]

Pat Freiermuth’s 2025 season is one he’ll want to forget. While Darnell Washington started to ascend, Freiermuth saw more and more of his opportunities taken away. Not all of that was Freiermuth’s fault, but it raises question marks about him for the 2026 season. It wasn’t that long ago that the Steelers paid Freiermuth, and […]

Aaron Rodgers is a controversial figure, for multiple reasons. However, he’s one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history, and he announced that he plans on retiring once the 2026 season ends. While not everyone likes Rodgers, his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates seem to appreciate him. He and several other Steelers recently took a trip together […]

One of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ biggest moves this offseason was signing CB Jamel Dean. Dean has been a reliable corner during his career, which has been spent entirely with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and it was another attempt by the Steelers to bolster their secondary. After years of failed experiments at cornerback, Ray Fittipaldo pf […]

When’s the last time anybody would’ve described the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense as fun? The answer is 2018 — the last season the Steelers avoided a bottom-10 finish in total offense and the final year Ben Roethlisberger looked like himself before injuries began taking their toll. Poor offensive play has become the norm, but the upcoming […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2026 offseason practices concluded in the middle of June. Next up is the team’s annual training camp, which will get underway in late July at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. Ahead of that, we will preview the team’s offseason roster three players at a time as part of a multi-post series. This […]

Jaylen Warren isn’t spending his final few weeks before training camp laying on the couch and binging his favorite Netflix show. Warren is working hard to stay in shape and hit the ground running in 2026 under Mike McCarthy. As shared by the RBEAST Instagram account, a football trainer whose bio in part describes his […]

Kaleb Johnson is preparing for his second training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers with a lot to prove after a lackluster rookie season. GM Omar Khan admitted he must “be better” in Year 2, and Johnson appears determined to answer that challenge. With two weeks until the start of camp, Johnson is training with an […]

Our Alex Kozora recently posted about a quirky Steelers Record Cam Heyward can match in 2026. That stat is Approximate Value (AV) from Pro Football Reference. Heyward has led Pittsburgh in this stat the last two seasons, with potential to join rare Steelers company if he does so again this season. The stat is defined […]

It’s not a secret that former NFL head coach Jon Gruden is a big fan of Pittsburgh Steelers QB Will Howard. Howard won Gruden over during his famous “QB Camp” ahead of the draft, and since then, Gruden has been a believer in Howard. Appearing on Cam Heyward’s Not Just Football podcast, Gruden doubled down […]

The Steelers will be in no rush to seek help at wide receiver, Ray Fittipaldo believes. At least not before seeing what they have. This offseason, they have already added three to the group, though one requires a bit of a caveat. Fourth-round rookie Kaden Wetjen isn’t much of a receiver, but veteran Michael Pittman […]

Player: ILB Payton Wilson Stock Value: Up Reasoning: While signs are pointing up for Payton Wilson, the burden is squarely on him to take things to the next level. This offseason, he has an opportunity to show the Steelers he is their future every-down linebacker. He already announced last year that he believes he is that […]

The Steelers are counting down the days before training camp opens. Who are the players under the spotlight for reporters? Two of them shared their thoughts recently on the Steelers Collective podcast, offering names to watch early on in Latrobe. None of them, certainly, are unfamiliar names, but each offers some intrigue. “I’m interested in […]

Maybe it’s because he made the Pro Bowl as a rookie, but Shedeur Sanders won’t be the Browns’ breakout candidate, Zac Jackson predicts. The Cleveland beat writer for The Athletic offered another name instead, a fellow draft classmate. While it’s up in the air whether Sanders will start, RB Quinshon Judkins will play a huge […]
