Spending ‘About A Month’ With Herbig And Watt In Wisconsin, Steelers’ Sawyer Ready For ‘Big’ Year Two Jump
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ biggest defensive strength is their outside linebacker group. T.J. Watt headlines the unit with his 115 career sacks, the most all-time for a Steelers player. There’s Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig (fresh off a big contract extension this offseason). Then there’s Jack Sawyer. His rookie year was relatively quiet, with 34 total […]

If Steelers Keep 4 QBs, Beat Writer Sees Two Veterans ‘On The Fringe’
The Pittsburgh Steelers face tough roster decisions after Thursday night’s preseason finale against the Buffalo Bills. Chief among them is the debate regarding keeping three or four quarterbacks under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy. Should the Steelers do what many believe they will and keep four quarterbacks, that will cause a numbers crunch elsewhere on […]
Seven Steelers In Urgent Need Of Great Preseason Finale To Make Roster Push
The Steelers’ final preseason game is tonight, and there are several players who need a great performance to make the roster. Below is a list of seven, which is actually nine somehow, since multiple players will be directly competing for either one position, two positions, or none at all. You may ask why I split […]
DeFabo: ‘My Understanding’ Steelers Told Porter ‘Lowball Number’ In Initial Contract Talks
The talk around the Joey Porter Jr. contract situation with the Pittsburgh Steelers continues to grow louder and more concerning by the day.

‘Hasn’t Changed One Bit’: Elandon Roberts Helping Steelers Learn Patrick Graham
While the defense Patrick Graham runs with the Steelers may be different, he is the same guy Elandon Roberts remembers. Having played under Pittsburgh’s defensive coordinator last year in Las Vegas, he is learning new things, but doing so from the same teacher. In that aspect, even though he has just signed, he has been […]
‘Older Football Team’: Former Bengals HC Sees Rebuild In Steelers’ Future – Whether They Want To Or Not
Many have called on the Pittsburgh Steelers to rebuild for quite some time. It’s a direction the franchise could have gone in when Mike Tomlin abruptly stepped down at the end of last season. Yet, with Mike McCarthy now leading the Steelers, a rebuild continues to be something the team attempts to avoid. However, it […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – QB Mason Rudolph
Player: QB Mason Rudolph Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Mason Rudolph was emphatically among the winners of the Steelers’ loss to the Jets, thanks to how the others performed. Based on the showings from Drew Allar and especially Will Howard, it’s clear that Rudolph is the best backup option. Mike McCarthy said before the game he’d seen […]
Four Steelers Veterans Who Could Be Surprise Roster Cuts After Preseason Finale
The Steelers will face tough decisions after the final preseason game, and some veterans are on the roster bubble.

Drew Allar Shares Lessons Learned, Personal Goals For Steelers’ Final Preseason Game
Drew Allar has one last opportunity to make an impression before going into bubble wrap for the remainder of the year. As the inevitable third-string quarterback, we won’t be hearing much from him until the 2027 offseason. The hope is that by this time next year, he might look like a starter. That’s all the […]
Can Eli Heidenreich Make One Final Push For Steelers’ 53-Man Roster?
Can Eli Heidenreich make one final push to earn a spot on the 53-man roster? Steelers HC Mike McCarthy made clear that the young players will be featured tonight, and Eli Heidenreich needs it more than most. A rookie seventh-round pick, he seems to be squarely outside of the roster bubble. While he made for […]
Four Steelers Practice Squad Battles To Watch In Preseason Finale
While the focus on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster over the coming days will center around the 53-man group, there’s another part of the team that shouldn’t be forgotten. The day after putting together an initial 53, the Steelers will form their practice squad. Likely a 17-man group thanks to EDGE Julius Welschof and his international […]

‘A Little Too Soft’: Trai Essex Lacking Confidence In ‘Iffy’ Dylan Cook
The Pittsburgh Steelers had to rely on Dylan Cook late in the 2025 season, and he was up to the challenge. Taking over for Andrus Peat, who was in the midst of taking over for Broderick Jones, Cook steadied the ship. He wasn’t perfect, but he held the left edge of the line down over […]

Jim Nantz ‘Expecting Good Things’ Out Of Aaron Rodgers And Steelers
A lot of people didn’t think Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers would amount to much last year. While they still failed to win a playoff game, the season could’ve been worse.

‘May Have Hit A Home Run’: Former NFL Scout Believes Steelers Fans Should Be ‘Very Excited’ About Drew Allar
Opinions were mixed when the Pittsburgh Steelers spent a third-round pick on Drew Allar earlier this year.

However, there was a lot of positive buzz about Allar after the Steelers’ first […]
