‘It’s Not Happening’: Charlie Batch Shuts Down Idea Of Steelers Keeping Four QBs
Training camp for the Pittsburgh Steelers is approaching quickly, and the team has many questions that need to be answered. One of the biggest is how their quarterback room will shake out. While Aaron Rodgers is their starter, it’s unclear who will back him up. Mason Rudolph is the other veteran, but the Steelers spent […]
Pair Of Former Players Offer Dueling Lists Of The Five Most Important 2026 Steelers
Is quarterback Aaron Rodgers the most important player on the 2026 Pittsburgh Steelers roster? Most teams slot the quarterback into the top spot, but the Steelers have had recent years where someone else, like T.J. Watt, ranked higher. Former players Trai Essex and Charlie Batch offered their own top five. Each had a unique perspective. […]
‘Best Thing To Ever Happen To Me’: James Harrison Explains How 2011 NFL Lockout Extended His Career
James Harrison was one of the NFL’s fiercest defenders during his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was another in a long line of fearsome Steelers linebackers. Harrison also had great longevity, though, playing from 2002-2017. He was almost 40 when he retired. Few players have produced like he did that late in their careers. […]

Analyst Ranks Aaron Rodgers 31st Of All NFL Quarterbacks
Defying age, Aaron Rodgers is slated to start for the Pittsburgh Steelers for the second-straight year. Given that he turns 43 in December, he’s obviously a limited quarterback at this point in his career. Too limited for analyst Gregg Rosenthal to have much hope in Rodgers, who has said this will be his final NFL […]
Kaboly Names Steelers Free Agent Signee Who Could Surprise
The Pittsburgh Steelers were busy this offseason, retooling and reshaping the roster to plug holes and begin forming the group into Mike McCarthy’s vision. Wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., cornerback Jamel Dean, and safety Jaquan Brisker were the headline additions. Pittman through trade, the others through free agency. Mark Kaboly thinks a different Steelers free […]
‘They Could Not Pass Protect’: Analyst Has ‘Big Question Marks’ About Steelers’ Offensive Line
The Pittsburgh Steelers have high expectations for themselves this season. While Mike Tomlin is gone, they still want to compete for a Super Bowl. However, much of that may hinge on how well their young offensive line protects Aaron Rodgers. The 42-year-old QB’s arm is still strong, but much of his athleticism is gone. “Aaron […]
The Super Bowl XL Story Most Steelers Fans Have Never Heard
One glance at the final score of Super Bowl XL, and most would assume the Pittsburgh Steelers handily defeated the Seattle Seahawks, but that was far from the case in their 21-10 win. It was a one-score game until the final 10 minutes. An altered outcome of just a play or two could have changed […]
Travis Kelce, George Kittle Get Downright Giddy Marveling At Darnell Washington
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense struggled once again in 2025. However, there were some bright spots, including Darnell Washington. In his third NFL season, Washington remained a huge force as a blocker while continuing to improve as a receiver. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce took note of Washington’s play last year, and he was […]
‘Needs A Lot Of Seasoning’: Beat Writer Predicts When Max Iheanachor Will Crack Steelers’ Starting Lineup
Of all draft picks, first-round talents typically come into their rookie seasons with the best chance to become a Week 1 starter. But for Max Iheanachor things might be a little different. Joining an offensive line with plenty of depth already, Iheanachor may find it difficult to start immediately, according to Steelers beat writer Mark […]
‘Year Or Two Away:’ Steelers’ Offensive Line Receives Surprisingly Low Ranking
With a pair of new offensive line coaches in James Campen and Jahri Evans under first-year head coach Mike McCarthy and a pair of rookies in first-rounder Max Iheanachor and third-rounder Gennings Dunker joining the fold, too, expectations are high for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line in 2026 and beyond. There is some uncertainty though, […]

Former NFL GM Cites ‘Biggest Issue’ That Will Hurt Joey Porter Jr. In Contract Talks
He’s in line for a major contract extension this offseason, one that could — and should — make him one of the 10 highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL. But a lack of production in one area of his game through three seasons could limit just how much Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. gets this […]
Ranking The Steelers’ Starters: No. 9-7

How Eli Heidenreich Slipped Through The Cracks, But Is Right Where He Belongs
Bob Palko would not change a thing about the perfect season that was also a storybook one. Mt. Lebanon High School did not just go 15-0 on the way to the school’s first football state championship in 2021. The Pittsburgh-area school also toppled St. Joseph’s, a Philadelphia powerhouse trying to win its fourth state title […]
‘Playing His Way Onto This Team’: Steelers ‘Liked What They Saw’ From Long-Shot Rookie, Insider Says
Seventh-round picks are almost never a lock to make NFL 53-man rosters, especially not in a crowded draft class of 10 rookies. But that’s exactly what S Robert Spears-Jennings is on track to do. He impressed throughout the spring, setting himself up for an unlikely roster push in late August. “Often when there’s a seventh-round […]
Paglia: Preseason 2027 NFL Draft Top 10 EDGE Rankings
So far in this summer scouting series, we’ve focused on the offensive side of the ball, where the talent projection is sky-high. Now, we turn our attention to defense, where there’s no drop-off in ability. We’ll start with the highly anticipated edge-rushing group, headlined by two players draft analysts have coveted for the past couple […]
Team Insider Believes Steelers Could Add To Two Positions
The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t done tweaking their roster, as with training camp less than a month away, the usual churn as the team figures out the best 53-man roster will occur. While a lot of moves made over the next few months will be minor, there’s certainly a chance the Steelers will still add potential […]
With Patrick Queen ‘A Huge Long Shot’ Of Returning In 2027, Beat Writer Sees Opportunity For Payton Wilson
With Patrick Queen potentially out the door after this season, is Payton Wilson ready to assume his position for Pittsburgh? Going into Year 3, it’s high time Wilson proves whether the Steelers can rely on him. While he’s been a quasi-starter, they haven’t yet entrusted him with a larger responsibility. And he’ll need to, if […]
‘A Matter Of When, Not If’: Fittipaldo Dismisses Concerns Over Joey Porter Jr. Negotiations
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac sowed doubt in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ ongoing negotiations with Joey Porter Jr. last week, but his P-G partner Ray Fittipaldo is downplaying those concerns. “I do think it’s gonna happen. I don’t think they’re gonna have to go $30 [million]. I think the number’s probably somewhere around $25 [million] or […]

With Steelers training camp just around the corner, we turn our focus to the roster and the battles ahead.

Training Camp Shaping Up To Be A Spectator Sport For Mason Rudolph
If the Steelers ultimately decide to keep Mason Rudolph, one has to wonder how much it will be based on anything he’s done. Because with the way training camp and the preseason are setting up, he figures to be a spectator. The team has not one, but two young quarterbacks to examine. And, of course, […]
90 In 30: Steelers 2026 Training Camp Preview Series — JJ Galbreath, Anthony Goodlow, Derrick Harmon

Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – RB Max Hurleman
Player: RB Max Hurleman Stock Value: Down Reasoning: With the Steelers drafting Eli Heidenreich, it would seem Max Hurleman is considerably less intriguing to this coaching staff. Even though some beat reporters may have liked what he showed this spring, that likely changes little. The previous coaches also liked what he did, and they didn’t […]
Mark Kaboly Pessimistic About Keeanu Benton Signing Extension: ‘Don’t See Him In Their Long-Term Plans’
As the days wear on, it seems less and less likely the Steelers intend to sign Keeanu Benton to a contract extension, Mark Kaboly believes. After completing extensions for Chris Boswell, Nick Herbig, and Darnell Washington, he might be the next logical candidate. He still might be, of course, but the veteran beat writers doesn’t […]
