Photo by Michael Owens/ The Steelers’ head coach spoke about the trades for the first time The Steelers have been arguably the most active team in the NFL since the new league year began, and inarguably the most active team on the trade market. The Steelers have orchestrated three trades over the last two weeks, sending quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles, wide receiver Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers, and acquiring quarterback Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears. Head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about the trades at the NFL league meetings...

Photo by Patrick Smith/ Pittsburgh really shouldn’t overthink this one. By May 2, NFL teams must decide if they will exercise a fifth-year option on first-round players selected in the 2021 NFL Draft. The Steelers have two players eligible for this option, including quarterback Justin Fields — drafted 11th overall by the Chicago Bears — and running back Najee Harris, whom the team drafted 24th overall. While the Steelers are undoubtedly still considering the prospects of Fields’ future with the team, the answer With the first major wave of free agency over...

A member of the Pittsburgh Steelers is saying goodbye, according to The Athletic’s Ben Standig. The Commanders are expected to sign free agent CB James Pierre, per source.

Photo by Matthew Holst/ Which incoming rookies should the Steelers be looking to target early in the 2024 NFL Draft? We’re fully into the swing of NFL Draft season. Free agency has provided some answers to a few of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ outstanding questions (particularly at quarterback), but there are still several holes that need filling out on Pittsburgh’s depth chart. Among the most pressing needs that general manager Omar Khan and company will need to address are offensive tackle, cornerback, and wide receiver. Being able to solidify these spots with...

Photo by Justin K. Aller/ GM Omar Khan has been cooking… With the first wave of the 2024 NFL free agency period officially in the rearview mirror, the vision of Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan is becoming clear; this team is fed up with their lack of postseason wins... and they want to make a run at Lombardi No. 7. The most notable shakeups have, of course, been at the quarterback position, where they turned a depth chart of Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph into Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. There’s still plenty of work to be done on this roster...

The NFL’s legal tampering period officially opened up Monday, March 11, with teams officially able to negotiate with pending free agents. Next up is the start of the new league year, when teams are officially able to sign their newly agreed-upon contracts and previously agreed-to trades become official.

Photo by Justin Edmonds/ My initial thoughts on the Steelers new QB Well, it’s finally done. After months of speculation and wondering what quarterback would end up in Pittsburgh, the Steelers are signing Russell Wilson to a one-year deal worth $1.2 million. My initial thoughts on the deal are somewhat layered, so I’ll start with this: they are in a better spot than they were 24 hours ago. Wilson is a better quarterback than Kenny Pickett. His 26 touchdowns in 2023 are more than all Steelers quarterbacks combined since Ben Roethlisberger retired (25). He also...

Photo by Perry Knotts/ The veteran safety failed his physical The Pittsburgh Steelers have made multiple releases so far this offseason. A few weeks ago, they let go of punter Pressley Harvin, offensive tackle Chuks Okorafor, and quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Now, they are adding another name to their list of cuts.

Photo by Sarah Stier/ Trubisky was released by the Steelers back in February. Just under a month after the news broke that the Pittsburgh Steelers and veteran quarterback Mitch Trubisky “mutually agreed to part ways,” he’s found his next landing spot — a familiar one, with the Buffalo Bills. Trubisky spent the 2021 season with the Bills as the backup to star quarterback Josh Allen before signing a deal with the Steelers. Senior Bills writer Tim Graham of The Athletic originally reported Wednesday that Trubisky was in talks to return to the Bills, and the deal...

Photo by Peter Joneleit/Icon Sportswire via The Super Bowl champion safety didn’t hold back on his former team Few know what it takes to be a Pittsburgh Steeler, but Ryan Clark is one of those few. The former Steelers’ Super Bowl champion safety spoke on his former team’s quarterback situation, and how their current plan is a very bad one in his eyes while appearing on Get Up. “What they’re going to do is they’re going to try and go out and get a veteran that can push Kenny Pickett,” Clark said. “A veteran that they can have an unbiased competition...
