Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is retiring from football after 14 years in the NFL. Wilson took to social media on Wednesday to say goodbye to playing the game. Now, he’ll be on the other side after agreeing to join CBS Sports as a studio analyst.  Wilson’s 3-minute and 16-second video mostly centered on […]

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. While things seemed different because the Steelers won their division, it was another mediocre year. Many fans blamed that on Mike Tomlin, but with him stepping down this […]

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. They gave him a huge four-year contract extension, giving Herbig a huge payday despite the fact that he hasn’t been a starter. However, former Philadelphia Eagles center […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers loaded up at wide receiver this offseason, trading for Michael Pittman Jr. and drafting Germie Bernard. That position has been a weakness for them for the past few years, and they aimed to change that. 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. Though he conducted a bit of a “hold-in” during the session, participating in individual drills but not in team sessions, Herbig was present and engaged. […]

With over $71 million of base salaries tied up in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ top three outside linebackers in 2026, it’s fair to question how possible it is to maximize those lofty investments. Maybe the plan isn’t to have all three by the start of the 2026 season. Could a trade involving Alex Highsmith be on […]

Cam Heyward’s never had to directly go up against Myles Garrett, which may be why he “could care less” that the former Cleveland Browns pass-rusher is no longer in the division. On his Not Just Football podcast, Heyward reacted to the Browns trading Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. “I think Aaron’s definitely happy to […]

Second-year Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson may be down after last season, but he refuses to be out for the count. Suffice it to say his rookie year did not go as anybody envisioned, but he’s ready for a new chapter. He knows he has his work cut out for him, and a new depth chart […]

Step aside, Antonio Brown. There’s a new gold standard for Day 3 draft picks in Pittsburgh. Nick Herbig’s $100 million extension makes him the highest-paid Day 3 pick (defined: Rounds 4 and on) in Steelers history. Herbig has a long way to go to have the type of career that Brown had, but he’s already […]

Player: S Darnell Savage Stock Value: Purchased Reasoning: At long last, the Steelers are signing Darnell Savage. Reported months ago, the cause of the extended delay is unclear. With Savage finally coming in, it gives the Steelers an experienced veteran backup safety. And it puts in jeopardy the position of a number of younger defensive […]

Nick Herbig may have had the shortest hold-in in NFL history. Missing just one day of mandatory minicamp, Herbig agreed to a four-year, $100 million deal Tuesday to remain with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the long haul. Questions about his role, fit, and rotation with T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith are valid. Pittsburgh has to […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers had to prioritize a few contract extensions this offseason. Of them all, Nick Herbig’s seemed to be the most complicated. Yet, before Joey Porter Jr., Darnell Washington, or Keeanu Benton, the Steelers have reportedly agreed to terms with Herbig on a massive four-year extension. It will pay him $100 million over the […]

Joey Porter Jr. burst onto the scene by routinely shadowing opposing teams’ top receivers as a rookie, holding his own against some of the NFL’s best. The new defensive staff in Pittsburgh plans to continue letting corners travel. “I wouldn’t say nothing too crazy from what we’re used to,” Porter said when asked about changes […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense was supposed to be one of the NFL’s best last year, but it fell well short of that goal. It was ranked 26th in the league, with several players looking like they lost a step. However, many of the Steelers’ struggles on defense were blamed on defensive coordinator Teryl Austin. With […]
