The Pittsburgh Steelers made a number of improvements this offseason, adding key veterans across the board in free agency and via trade. GM Omar Khan has built a roster that looks much improved, giving a new coaching staff under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy a strong group of players with which to work. Yet, because […]

After 12 seasons and 178 games, former Cleveland Browns standout left guard Joel Bitonio is calling it a career. A free agent after the Browns rebuilt their offensive line this offseason through free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft, Bitonio announced his retirement Tuesday morning, rather than signing elsewhere. “Truthfully, as time passed and my […]

Now in a new phase of his career, Darnell Savage understands he has to prove himself as a veteran with the Steelers. Recently signed after months of undisclosed complications, he will compete this summer to make the roster. While his place on the team is not guaranteed, his effort, he suggests, is. “I know who […]

Daylen Everette has gone from the least-talked-about rookie to now perhaps the most discussed, the only change being seeing him practice. A third-round pick, the Steelers cornerback has impressed through OTAs and minicamp. At least that’s the takeaway from basically every beat writer on hand, but what does it mean? Mike DeFabo already speculated, for […]

Player: S Sebastian Castro Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Despite the signing of veteran Darnell Savage, second-year Sebastian Castro continues to be singled out during practice this spring. A 2025 college free agent, he’ll have to compete for a roster spot, but he is also well-positioned. As a rookie, he already began to carve out a […]

If you’re hoping the Steelers add more wide receiver help, save your breath. It’s not happening, according to Gerry Dulac. If they felt they needed more, they would have done so by now. And in case you didn’t notice, they’ve turned their attention to hammering out contract extensions. Since last season, the Steelers traded for […]

Former Ravens OLB Terrell Suggs earned Defensive Player of the Years honors, but Trey Hendrickson could top him, one analyst believes. Gordon McGuinness, formerly of Pro Football Focus, argues Trey Hendrickson could have the best season by a pass rusher in Ravens history. Signed as a street free agent after Baltimore backed out of Maxx […]

How does Jack Sawyer fit into the Steelers’ long-term outside linebacker picture? With three outside linebackers already making big bucks, where does Jack Sawyer fit into the picture for the Steelers? Between T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, and Nick Herbig, the coaches will already have their hands full trying to find each of them a sufficient […]

This is terribly overdue, but the craziness of January, including Mike Tomlin’s resignation and Pittsburgh’s head coaching search, delayed my annual defensive charting breakdown. It’ll be useful in comparing these numbers to what the new coaching staff implements. So, without further ado, here’s the Steelers’ 2025 regular-season defensive charting based on our weekly work throughout […]

Aaron Rodgers has said that he is not just done with football after he calls it a career. He’s also finished with fishbowl life. If he follows through on his vow to vanish, like at least one sock does every time I do laundry, talking points like one that aired Monday on Good Morning Football […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason has been busy, and it’s hard to believe we’re in the final week of OTAs already. Ever since Mike Tomlin stepped down, the coaching staff and the roster have experienced a whirlwind of change. To Charlie Batch, signing Jamel Dean was the best move of all the offseason additions. “I’m gonna […]

In a division filled with star quarterbacks and explosive receivers, teams in the AFC North need to have some solid play from the cornerback position. Entering the 2026 season, it appears that all four teams have a true No. 1 corner to build around. Cleveland’s Denzel Ward remains the top dog with the Browns, though […]

Last year, by the skin of their teeth, the Pittsburgh Steelers won the AFC North. The division has seen significant change this offseason, with Pittsburgh at the heart of that effort. However, despite some changes in the staff and around the roster, CBS Sports’ Tyler Sullivan is a little more confident in the rest of […]

While Mike Tomlin stepped down as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ head coach, that didn’t stop Omar Khan from adding to the team in hopes of competing for a Super Bowl. Signing safety Jaquan Brisker might’ve been Khan’s best move, though. Brisker was originally a 2022 second-round pick by the Chicago Bears, and he was a good […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens have one of the NFL’s fiercest rivalries. Despite that, many players have suited up for both teams. However, few players have been traded from one of those division rivals to the other. Defensive lineman Chris Wormley is one example, though. Originally a 2017 third-round pick by the Ravens, he […]

Nick Herbig just received a $100 million extension as a backup to both T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. If it’s three dogs, two bones at outside linebacker, how can the Pittsburgh Steelers make that a worthwhile investment? The future is a major consideration, but certainly, they have a plan for the present that doesn’t let […]

Just as Aaron Rodgers could find more traction even while another year older, Jalen Ramsey might do the same defensively. In his second year with the Steelers and finding more comfort in his role, Pittsburgh’s new coaching staff that is led defensively by coordinator Patrick Graham could bring the best out in everyone.
