On Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs traded OT Wanya Morris and a seventh-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick. Morris was buried on Kansas City’s depth chart and started just one game last season, but according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, “multiple teams” were interested in his services once the […]
I didn’t expect a year ago to need to write an article stating the case for Kaleb Johnson to make the roster ahead of his second season. The Pittsburgh Steelers third-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Johnson had a brutal start to his NFL career. A botched kickoff return in Week 2 landed him […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost Connor Heyward to the Las Vegas Raiders in free agency, and with the Raiders, Heyward is moving to a more traditional fullback role. Appearing on Movin’ The Chains on SiriusXM NFL Radio earlier this week, Heyward discussed his transition after primarily playing tight end with the Steelers. “I feel like the […]
One of the big topics coming out of the Pittsburgh Steelers OTAs is a potential change in role for DL Keeanu Benton. Benton has largely been Pittsburgh’s primary nose tackle since being selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, though that seems likely to change this year. Benton is also on the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have wrapped up OTAs and won’t be back together as a team until they report for training camp on July 28. When they do, there very well could be some new faces quickly added to the mix. Since Khan has taken over as Steelers general manager, at least one player traded for […]
Before the 2025 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers rewarded T.J. Watt with a three-year, $123 million extension. Though some on the outside expressed doubts about extending an aging pass rusher, the Steelers never wavered in their commitment to one of their franchise cornerstones. After a tough season that included a freak injury and a dip in […]
Even after drafting Drew Allar in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers could still be in the market for a quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft. It’s a draft that looks talent-rich at quarterback as things stand right now, and The Athletic’s Nick Baumgardner broke that talent down into tiers. In a draft […]
As we’ve done in the past, we’re putting together an offseason review of young Pittsburgh Steelers players and where they can improve the most ahead of the 2026 season. We’ll start with second-year DL Derrick Harmon. Harmon had a solid rookie year. Even missing five games with multiple knee injuries, his run defense was steady […]
While the Steelers’ training camp might not be as physical under Mike McCarthy, one beat writer predicts it will be as intense. Especially if spring practices are anything to go on, the roster can expect little downtime once on the field. Under Mike Tomlin, there was hard hitting and popping of pads, but also, seemingly, […]
The Steelers have been working hard to lock up the 2023 draft class, but will Keeanu Benton be the one who gets away? Entering his fourth season, he is due for a new contract before we reach September, though there are no guarantees. The front office’s major priority is fellow 2023 second-round draft pick, CB […]
Rookie Drew Allar might be in Mike McCarthy’s “QB School”, but he’s also learning on the job from Aaron Rodgers. The Steelers’ starting quarterback and a future Hall of Famer, Rodgers has been open with his knowledge and experience. He helped nurture Will Howard a year ago as a rookie, and now he’s doing the […]
Will the Steelers have a 1,000-yard rusher at running back this year? The Steelers came up shy of having a 1,000-yard running back last year, failing to do so for the first time since 2020. After drafting him in the first round in 2021, Najee Harris rushed for at least 1,000 yards four consecutive years. […]

Yahya Black exceeded expectations as a rookie last season. As a fifth round selection on a crowded defensive line, there was no guarantee that Black would make the roster. But his strong play and physical attributes have many believing that he was just scratching the surface as a rookie. Count former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Charlie […]
On Saturday, the Louisville Kings defeated the DC Defenders 27-20 to win the 2026 UFL Championship. The Kings, trailing 16-7 at halftime, rallied dramatically in the second half and held on to win the game, forcing a turnover on downs on 4th and 5 to seal the UFL Championship. With that win, four former Pittsburgh […]

The pass rushers have always been the engine of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense and Nick Herbig has shown plenty of promise in that regard. Now that he has been rewarded with a four-year, $100 million contract extension, Herbig’s responsibilities include more than just getting to the quarterback. Appearing on the “Not Just Football” podcast with […]
