Eli Heidenreich Reveals Team He Had UDFA Agreement With Before Steelers Drafted Him
The moment and the scene on the North Shore at the end of the 2026 NFL Draft with Navy star Eli Heidenreich hearing his name called by his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers was very special.

Kevin Colbert Has A Different Take On ‘Finding’ Late-Round Gems
As the old football adage goes, Day Three is where scouts and general managers make their money.

Steelers’ 3rd WR Could Have Smaller Role In Steelers’ Offense Than You’d Think, Kaboly Says
Arthur Smith may be gone, but how important will the third wide receiver be in Mike McCarthy’s Steelers offense?

‘You Kind Of Need Him’: Insider Highlights One Name ‘Lost In The Shuffle’ In Steelers’ Secondary
The Steelers’ secondary has drawn major attention this offseason, for understandable reasons, but one DB is getting overlooked.

Player: QB Drew Allar Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Despite the fixation on how the Steelers are breaking down Drew Allar’s mechanics, there’s no reason to believe he isn’t on track.

‘Gonna Be A Pass-First Football Team’: Charlie Batch Expecting ‘Philosophy’ Change Under Mike McCarthy
After having Arthur Smith call plays last year, many will look at Mike McCarthy as an upgrade in 2026.

Steelers ‘Did Themselves No Favors’ In Joey Porter Jr. Extension Talks With Nick Herbig’s Big Contract, Whaley Argues
Did the Steelers create a problem for themselves and Joey Porter Jr. with the extension they handed to Nick Herbig? Former NFL GM Doug Whaley believes so, and he’s not the first person to express that belief. Members of the Steelers’ 2023 draft class, they both merited new deals. But while Porter still waits for […]
Browns Beat Writer High On New WRs Group After OTAs: ‘Primed To Take A Much-Needed Leap’
While the Browns have a lot to figure out on offense, they seem to have the wide receivers in place, according to Zac Jackson.

Is Keeanu Benton In Steelers’ Long-Term Plans?
Is Keeanu Benton in the Steelers’ long-term plans? While Keeanu Benton is a good player, the Steelers must assess value versus opportunity.

‘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.

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 […]

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.

‘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.

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 […]

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.

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.
