Top Free Agent Jadeveon Clowney Rejects Browns, Returns To Texans Instead
The Cleveland Browns were hopeful they could sign veteran pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney after he visited the team earlier this week. Instead of a reunion in Cleveland, where Clowney spent the 2021 and 2022 seasons, Clowney has opted to return to the Houston Texans on a one-year deal, according to Ian Rapoport on X. Reunion: […]

Analyst Projects Double-Digit Losses For Mike McCarthy In First Year Coaching Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers have seemingly gone “all in” on the 2026 season under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy. They’ve invested heavily in veterans through free agency and a trade, and they’ve spent a good amount of money on an aging roster. With McCarthy taking over for Mike Tomlin, the belief is the Steelers will be […]
‘Not Going To Believe It’: Dulac Pours Cold Water On Talk T.J. Watt Will ‘Move Around’ The Defense
It’s starting to feel like something we talk about every summer, but T.J. Watt has embraced moving around the line of scrimmage more. Watt has been dominant rushing from the left side throughout his career but is looking to switch things up after a second straight year with a drop in his sack total. Pittsburgh […]
Mike McCarthy’s First Steelers Training Camp Is More Than Just A Breath Of Fresh Air
Steelers seasons have ended in ignominious ways. Tim freakin’ Tebow, anyone? The Blake Bortles-led Jaguars hanging 45 points on a team that allowed just over 19 per game during the 2017 regular season? And that was in Pittsburgh, no less. A decade earlier, a once-promising Steelers season also ended with a thud early in the […]
Kevin Colbert Points To ‘Guys That Proved Us Wrong’ As Proudest Moment Of Steelers Tenure
Kevin Colbert is now a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Honor. Responsible for constructing the teams that won multiple Super Bowls, Colbert was a no-brainer for enshrinement. Now with a chance to reflect on his career, Colbert’s mindset is a reminder of what made him a great general manager. “I always like to […]
Analyst Projects Steelers’ Kaden Wetjen As All-Rookie Return Specialist
The Pittsburgh Steelers spending a fourth-round pick on a kick and punt returner in Iowa’s Kaden Wetjen was a bit surprising, especially with some other more pressing needs the franchise might have had. But that decision could pay immediate dividends in 2026 under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy and new special teams coordinator Danny Crossman. […]
Dulac: Steelers ‘Leaning Towards’ Keeping All Four QBs On 53-Man Roster
Once the Pittsburgh Steelers spent a third-round draft pick on quarterback Drew Allar, debates commenced about what the franchise should or shouldn’t do at the position when it comes to the 53-man roster. Keeping all four — including Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and Allar — seems almost entirely impossible, especially with the squeeze […]
What’s Encouraging — And Concerning — About Kaleb Johnson’s Roster Battle So Far
The first four days of Steelers training camp are essentially a continuation of the spring program. Without pads or live contact, it’s too early to draw sweeping conclusions about roster battles. But Kaleb Johnson’s early usage has already produced a couple encouraging signs — and at least one warning flag worth monitoring. Not everyone agrees […]
Steelers Hire New Coaching Assistant
The Pittsburgh Steelers have hired a new coaching assistant for the 2026 season. Per the team’s front office page on the team website, Maddie Johnson is now listed as a coaching assistant. Per Johnson’s LinkedIn page, she began working for the Steelers in April. The team’s website, however, was only recently updated to reflect her […]
Max Starks Outlines Eli Heidenreich’s Best Fit
The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Navy’s do-it-all running back Eli Heidenreich in the seventh round, but in a crowded room, he might have an uphill battle to make the roster. However, Steelers’ radio analyst and former offensive tackle Max Starks thinks Heidenreich will make the roster and have a big role as a rookie. “He’s gonna […]
‘Perfect-Storm Scenario’: Mark Schlereth Says Steelers Will Be ‘Sneaky’ Good This Season
The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t getting much love going into the 2026 season. Following their uncompetitive postseason losses over the last decade, many analysts have made it an annual tradition to expect the team to have a losing season. While they haven’t won anything that meaningful, the Steelers have proved those narratives wrong in recent years. […]
Former NFL RB ‘Optimistic’ But ‘Concerned’ For Mike McCarthy’s Steelers Offense
When the Pittsburgh Steelers hired Mike McCarthy as the franchise’s 17th head coach since 1933, they hoped he would significantly improve an offensive philosophy that felt stagnant for the last half-decade following Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement. At times, Mike Tomlin’s Steelers felt like they were playing not to make mistakes on offense. They weren’t trying to […]
Drew Allar Shares Area Of ‘Biggest Improvement’
Despite the likelihood he will play zero snaps this year, Drew Allar is a Steelers focal point for very good reason. He holds the franchise’s hopes for the future at the quarterback position as a third-round draft pick. While he has talent in abundance, he is raw in his mechanics in many ways. Mike McCarthy […]
Analyst Believes Aaron Rodgers Is ‘Primed’ For An ‘Excellent Season’
When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed QB Aaron Rodgers in 2025, they hoped he would be the final piece to get them over the playoff hump. He threw for over 3,300 yards and had 24 touchdown passes, one of the better statistical seasons from a Steelers quarterback in some time. However, Rodgers didn’t have a great […]
One Steelers Veteran Is Already Feeling The Roster Squeeze
No player has won or lost a Pittsburgh Steelers roster spot after four pad-less training camp practices. But with eyes on the line and the general rotation of camp, there’s at least one veteran feeling the squeeze. Inside linebacker Malik Harrison entered camp without a cemented roster spot. Four days in and his spot looks […]
T.J. Watt All About ‘Embracing Change’ After ‘Doing The Same Thing, Hearing The Same Message’
If the 2026 season is about anything other than winning Super Bowls for T.J. Watt, it’s about old dogs learning new tricks. Facing the biggest change of his professional career, he has dived headlong into the new this offseason. Following Mike Tomlin’s resignation as head coach, he is working with nearly an entirely new coaching […]
Aaron Rodgers-DK Metcalf Connection Needs To Be In ‘Same Neighborhood’ As Joe Burrow-Ja’Marr Chase
Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf were both big Pittsburgh Steelers acquisitions last offseason. While they had their moments in 2025, it felt like their connection could’ve been better. The Steelers’ offense sputtered at times, and Rodgers-to-Metcalf wasn’t as impactful as the team had hoped. Kyle Brandt believes that needs to change in 2026. “I think […]
Analyst Pans Steelers’ Wideouts, Says Steelers Lack ‘Legit Number One Receiver’
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a wide receiver tandem they can be confident in for the first time in a few seasons. With Michael Pittman Jr. in the fold, Pittsburgh hopes its offense will look much better than the last two seasons, when George Pickens or DK Metcalf, respectively, was the only legitimate receiver. Both are […]
Jaquan Brisker Is Loving Patrick Graham’s Defense: ‘Gives Us The Ability To Play How We Want’
Jaquan Brisker isn’t returning to Pittsburgh to the Steelers team he grew up with, but Patrick Graham makes up for it. The veteran safety talked up his new defensive coordinator, offering glowing praise for the architect of Pittsburgh’s defense. Hired by new HC Mike McCarthy, he marks the most significant change for the Steelers in […]
‘Little Bit More Overload’: Max Starks Explains How Steelers Should Utilize Three-OLB Package
The Pittsburgh Steelers have constructed their OLB room well over the last few years. Now, three highly-paid players are crowding the room. Getting them all on the field is a logistical problem, so the Steelers must get more creative than simply substituting another defender for a third edge rusher. Former Steeler Max Starks believes there’s […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – WR Germie Bernard
Player: WR Germie Bernard Stock Value: Even Reasoning: While it’s too early to say “stock down”, Germie Bernard has not hit the ground running in his first training camp. Not just because Roman Wilson is playing ahead of him, but there are nuances he is lacking and mistakes he is making. This early in the […]
Kaboly Believes Jalen Ramsey’s Health Status ‘Might Be A Little Bit Iffy’
Up to this point, Jalen Ramsey has watched training camp from afar while on the PUP list. Mark Kaboly wonders if that isn’t cause for concern. On the heels of the Steelers taking a look at multiple veteran safeties, he seems to think there is more to the matter. Particularly regarding his availability in the […]
Browns Owner Jimmy Haslam Passes Buck On Myles Garrett Trade: ‘That Was Andrew’s Decision’
The Browns made one of the biggest moves of the offseason when they traded Myles Garrett, and owner Jimmy Haslam isn’t taking credit. Although he naturally signed off on the move as the owner, he placed authorship on GM Andrew Berry. Perhaps that’s wise, given the implications it could have on the team’s standing among […]
