Kevin Colbert worked closely with Mike Tomlin for more than 15 years, and the former GM doesn’t think we have seen the last of Tomlin on an NFL sideline. Colbert’s own experience, however, is the ultimate qualifier. He felt the same way while working as the Steelers’ director of football operations when Bill Cowher resigned […]

Continuing our Depot Debate series, which Pittsburgh tight end will catch more touchdowns in 2026: Darnell Washington or Pat Freiermuth? Pat Freiermuth is statistically the more productive tight end, with 22 career touchdowns. Darnell Washington has only caught two in his three-year career. Could that change under new head coach Mike McCarthy? Jake Brockhoff and […]
There are a plethora of incredible defenders in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ history. But perhaps none made as many unbelievable plays as Troy Polamalu. He accomplished plenty over his 12-year career, including earning the 2010 Defensive Player of the Year award. Polamalu’s unique ability to appear in the right place at the right time earned him […]
Head coach changes can be hard, especially when Mike Tomlin was the only NFL head coach many in Pittsburgh’s locker room ever knew. But any concerns about a rocky transition appear unfounded. Players quickly embraced Mike McCarthy’s culture throughout voluntary spring practices, and optimism is high ahead of training camp next month. J.J. Watt shared […]
Many Pittsburgh Steelers fans were underwhelmed when the team hired Mike McCarthy to be its new head coach this offseason. They wanted the team to go in a younger direction. However, McCarthy quickly won some of his doubters over with his passion for the job. Still, there are questions about McCarthy, especially when it comes […]
It’s hard to find a division across the NFL that saw as much change this offseason as the AFC North. With the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns all making head coaching changes, the future of the AFC North will look very different. Last year, the Steelers won the division with a 10-7 record. […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers were patient with Aaron Rodgers again this offseason, and he repaid that by re-signing with them. He’s 42 years old, and he’s clearly lost a step, but he was still good enough in 2025 to help the Steelers win their division. Now, he’s reunited with head coach Mike McCarthy, looking to win […]

Evaluating quarterbacks over the course of multiple decades is one of the most difficult and complex ways to look at the game. Times have certainly changed in the NFL, and the style of quarterback play has seen tremendous change. That’s part of the reason Chris Simms has trouble evaluating the career of one of the […]
His first year with the Pittsburgh Steelers could be classified as a mild disappointment due to his overall production dipping, the two-game suspension to end the regular season, and then a killer drop early in the playoff loss to the Houston Texans that ultimately changed the game. But DK Metcalf’s future in the Steel City […]
The Steelers have left virtually no position on the roster untouched this offseason, and the interior offensive line group is no exception. Having experienced yet another one-and-done postseason exit, they are trying just about anything to achieve more favorable results. With bold swings via trade, shrewd free-agent signings, and a clear draft priority, the 2026 Steelers […]
While the Steelers have some questions along the offensive line, they may also already have the answers on the roster. Of course, that’s what they hope, given what they’ve invested in the unit in recent years. Broderick Jones’ injury threw them a curveball, but they have options, even for the loss of Isaac Seumalo. Thus […]
Earlier this offseason, we wrote deep dives on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ three coordinator hires: OC Brian Angelichio, DC Patrick Graham, and STC Danny Crossman.

Brendan Sorsby will remain the NFL’s No. 1 story until next month’s supplemental draft, and until the Pittsburgh Steelers officially pass on him, there’s enough “what-if” to merit a conversation about him. Intriguing as the talented quarterback might be, insiders Mark Kaboly and Ray Fittipaldo are confident Sorsby will be playing elsewhere in 2026. “I […]

The Steelers didn’t plan for a new coaching staff this offseason, but it may have raised hopes for the defense. Even though former HC Mike Tomlin was a defensive-minded leader, many seem to feel things will improve. After 19 years on the job, the consensus—even from Tomlin—was that things were growing stale. In comes Patrick […]
With his height, length and physical style of play, cornerback Daylen Everette made a ton of sense as a potential Pittsburgh Steelers target throughout the pre-draft process. So, it was no surprise when the Steelers selected the Georgia product in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft as the Steelers continued to address a […]
Whether you call it the star position, money, apex, or big nickel, that’s the role Jalen Ramsey should play for the Steelers, Vince Williams believes.

How will the Steelers manage their OLB snap distribution after Nick Herbig’s contract extension? After Nick Herbig’s contract extension, the Steelers are paying good money to three OLBs.
