A couple of issues plagued the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025. One of the biggest was a lack of depth on the offensive side of the ball. The receiver position was a prime example, as Pittsburgh had to rely on midseason additions like Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Adam Thielen. Bolstering their offense, especially at receiver, was a […]
Needing to plug the WR2 hole once and for all, Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan made a very savvy move right before the start of free agency. Khan landed veteran Michael Pittman Jr. via trade from the Indianapolis Colts in a seventh-round pick swap. The Steelers extended Pittman in the process, ensuring that the steady […]
While the Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t had a losing season since 2003, everything hasn’t always gone smoothly for them. Specifically, they’ve had a tough time getting their offense going since Ben Roethlisberger retired. Replacing a franchise quarterback isn’t easy, but the Steelers haven’t done their signal callers many favors. Their last few offensive play callers have […]

In the lead-up to training camps opening around the NFL, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler has begun to roll other his yearly series of positional rankings. The Pittsburgh Steelers had no representation on the running back rankings, and now shockingly don’t have a name in the top 10 cornerback rankings, as Joey Porter Jr. was left off […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers largely kept their core intact this offseason and are looking to defend their AFC North crown this season with some key additions.

Ahead of their series with the Pirates, the Braves announced a slew of roster moves. It begins with Owen Murphy, who made his MLB debut for the club last night out of the bullpen, getting optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett.

While the Pittsburgh Steelers waited until the second round to draft a wide receiver, the early reviews on Germie Bernard have been positive.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are loaded at outside linebacker with a terrific trio of T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and the newly-extended Nick Herbig. Together, those three form arguably the best outside linebacker room in the NFL. It might be the best group of pass rushers in the league, too. They’re all highly compensated for a reason, […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins took care of most of their restricted free agent business over the weekend, getting Egor Chinakhov, Arturs Silovs, Hendrix Lapierre, David Gustafsson and Joel Blomqvist all signed to new deals. They were all pretty much as expected: short-term bridge deals that are basically “prove it” contracts, with Chinakhov getting a little more […]

There’s been a hint of discussion, at least over the internet, about the Pittsburgh Steelers trading away one of their cornerbacks. It’s one part offseason boredom, one part Pittsburgh’s great depth, and one part happenings around the league.

For the first time in years, the Pittsburgh Steelers finally have clarity at two key positions heading into training camp. The Steelers don’t have any questions about who will man their WR2 or slot corner spot.
