Latest news and updates about the Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers got a long of bang for their buck with Jalen Ramsey in 2025. The Super Bowl champion defensive back wore a lot of hats for the Steelers’ defense, lining up on the boundary at nickel, and safety on his way to an eighth Pro Bowl appearance. With a new defensive staff comes […]
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is throwing his support behind the sport of flag football in anticipation of the 2028 Summer Olympics.
The schedule has been mostly set for the 2026 Pittsburgh Steelers. While the team is currently holding OTAs, there isn’t much actual football yet to discuss at this point in the calendar. That won’t begin until the team heads up to Latrobe this summer for training camp, and we won’t have any meaningful football until […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers brought in veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling in the middle of the 2025 NFL season, bringing in Aaron Rodgers’ long-time friend and former teammate with the Green Bay Packers to aid the receiving corps. After being elevated to the active roster, Valdes-Scantling had 10 catches for 80 yards and a touchdown in […]
It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for a weekly Steelers links roundup at BTSC. But first, let’s take a look around the AFC North: Now, onto some Steelers news and discussion: Dunker brought joy to his hometown (From Steelers.com’s Teresa Varley): One week before Gennings Dunker’s life changed forever, when he was selected in the third round of the […]
The Steelers are officially signing veteran defensive lineman Dean Lowry, the team announced Tuesday. Lowry was initially reported to be joining the team in April, but pulled out of the deal to continue getting back into football shape after suffering a torn ACL in 2025. Lowry was medically cleared but wanted more time. Now, it […]
The late great John Madden used to say that if you have two quarterbacks, you have none. Meaning that in a quarterback room, there will always naturally be a leader in the clubhouse that the team gravitates towards. The Pittsburgh Steelers made it clear and evident that they believe Drew Allar can be that next […]
Last week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans which nationally-televised game on the 2026 schedule they’re most excited to watch. Nearly half of the respondents chose the Week 14 home matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Beyond the fact that this is the only 2026 primetime game that will be played at EverBank Stadium, the Jacksonville-Pittsburgh rivalry is as […]
Welcome back to the Steelers offseason, where the demand for content remains high even if there’s not always enough news to properly supply it. In some ways, it’s not the best time of year to be a football writer. But in a glass-half-full way, it’s an excuse to fill out my article quota with more […]
X-factor: It’s a term we use a lot in sports for some reason, generally as a way to describe a variable that could swing either way in a game or season, often determining whether the result is a success or a failure. For the Steelers in 2026, there are a lot of potential names or […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers will look drastically different this season, starting at the top with new head coach Mike McCarthy roaming the sidelines. With so many fresh faces, expectations for different players in Pittsburgh are difficult to pin down. But if the Steelers are going to make noise in the AFC, several players will need to […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers tight end room has quietly become one of the more intriguing position groups on the roster heading into 2026 — and at least one national analyst believes it deserves much more attention. In a recent ranking of the NFL’s top tight end units, Bucky Brooks placed the Steelers fifth overall, citing the […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been one of the least innovative teams in the NFL over the last number of years, specifically on the defensive side of the ball. Their predictability on defense was emblematic of the final years of the Mike Tomlin era, which led to mediocre-to-good regular seasons but consistent failures in the postseason. […]
In the NFL’s highly-structured offseason, it’s hard to be ahead of schedule. But this year, the Steelers offense is slightly ahead of where it was in 2025. Last spring, starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers didn’t sign with the Steelers until June, missing organized team actives (OTAs) entirely. But in 2026, while Rodgers still took some time […]
The Steelers have freed up some cap space entering the summer. According to a report from PennLive’s Nick Farabaugh, Pittsburgh has restructured tight end Pat Freiermuth’s contract by converting some of his salary into a signing bonus. “He’s basically getting paid nearly $6M in a lump sum,” Farabaugh wrote in a reply on X. “It […]
Live from Delaware, it’s Saturday Night! I, NAS204PSU, am here at BTSC to bring you this Saturday Night Open Thread (aka SNOT). It’s Memorial Day weekend, and many of us in the USA get to enjoy an extra long weekend, even if it’s a rainy/dreary one for those of us in the Northeast. A federal holiday just […]
The writing is on the wall for Mason Rudolph. As the Pittsburgh Steelers began OTAs this past week, it was Will Howard taking QB2 reps while Rudolph was QB3. With the Steelers also adding Drew Allar in the third round of the draft, it certainly looks like Mason Rudolph will be the odd man out […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers quietly have a very good running back room. While they won’t get the mass attention of Saquon Barkley or Bijan Robinson, Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle are the only duo in the NFL t0 have both rushed for 1,000 yards in 2025. Because of the one-two punch Pittsburgh has in its backfield, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers had what was, for them, a standard season in 2025. The team won just enough games to run Mike Tomlin’s streak of seasons without a losing record to 19 en route to the playoffs. But as has also become the norm, the Steelers were one-and-done in the playoffs for the sixth consecutive […]
Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread: This week’s song rec:
The front part of the 2026 schedule for the Indianapolis Colts is loaded: Ravens, Chiefs, Texans, and Steelers headline the toughest matchups. Going to Minnesota and hosting Dallas could be problematic as well. One would also be remiss to ignore the road game in Jacksonville in Week 8. The first half of this thing is […]
A standout matchup for the New Orleans Saints in 2026 is against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to the number of storylines. For the first time, NFL teams will be playing in Paris, and with the Saints holding exclusive international rights in France, they were able to participate in this game. Then, Kellen Moore is going […]
The Steelers got back on the training field this week as the organization held its first week of OTAs. For fans, the reporting and videos that circulated this week were our first look at how the new-look Steelers will operate under Mike McCarthy and his freshly assembled coaching staff. Among that staff is new defensive […]
Despite suffering a career-ending spinal injury in 2017, former Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier has made sure to stay around football. Shazier was seen assisting Pittsburgh’s scouts in 2018, and he later made the move to coaching, contributing as a Steelers intern on offense in 2024. Then, in 2025, he moved to his current role: an […]
After being acquired via trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers last year, George Pickens proved to be one of the best wide receivers in the entire league, catching 93 passes for 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns. His dominance in 2025 made him a first-time Pro Bowl player in the final year of his rookie contract, but […]
