Photo by Eakin Howard/ As the new league year officially kicks off, the Steelers’ laundry list of needs continues growing. 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. The Steelers are releasing safety Keanu Neal after one season with the team. Neal failed his physical, which is the reason given for his release. #Steelers released safety Keanu Neal (failed physical), per the team.— Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) March 7,...

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...

Photo by Sarah Stier/ Rumors surrounding Pittsburgh’s future at quarterback have been all over the map as of late. The rumors coming out of the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine regarding the future of the quarterback position for the Pittsburgh Steelers have been all over the map. They’ve been tied to virtually any quarterback that could be available in the coming free agency period, either via trade or free agency signing — Kirk Cousins, Baker Mayfield, Russell Wilson, and the latest buzz name, Justin Fields. Now, the latest buzz, coming courtesy of Steelers staff...

Photo by Patrick Smith/ Another offseason rumor hits the Steelers’ news cycle. Could Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson be on the trading block? The answer is “possibly,” according to NFL insider Tony Pauline, who wrote in his column today that several sources told him Johnson could be available for a trade this offseason. “Is Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Diontae Johnson on the trading block?” wrote Pauline. “The short answer is possibly, if the price is right...

Photo by Patrick McDermott/ Schefter hints that the Steelers are a more likely option It was widely speculated that a Justin Fields trade could be worked out during the week of the NFL Combine. While nothing has come to light yet, ESPN’s Adam Schefter threw a small wrench into what many believed would happen. Speaking on SportsCenter, Schefter said that Fields going to Atlanta would be surprising, and hinted that the Steelers are still very much interested in the Bears quarterback. “I think Atlanta will be something of a surprise right now to trade for Justin...

The annual NFLPA Player Team Report card rankings were announced Wednesday, and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ scores stuck out like a sore thumb, officially ranked 28th among the 32 NFL teams for their overall grade during the 2023 season.

Photo by Mark Alberti/ Icon Sportswire Come and join this merry band of Steelers’ faithful for some lively debate about our Steelers, good food, music, and the merits of the odd cold beverage. Watching the Habs game, details matter. Details like Cam hasn’t won a Super Bowl. Details like a forward passing to a D man instead of shooting while on a 3 on 1… Details… Did details stop the killer Bs from winning 1 (or more) super bowls? As talented as Big Ben was, who was the most talented player on those Killer Bs rosters? Which regular season game would you prefer...

Photo by Joe Sargent/ The Pittsburgh Steelers could re-sign Montravius Adams this offseason. The Pittsburgh Steelers will soon have to make a decision on whether or not to re-sign defensive lineman Montravius Adams. The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly has Adams as one of the best defensive free agents for the Steelers. Adams missed four games with an injury but was productive when healthy and still played close to 500 snaps. Even though the Steelers have Keeanu Benton at nose tackle now, Adams’ versatility to play nose, end, and in pass situations makes him intriguing. With...

Rob Kinnan-USA TODAY Sports Who would Pittsburgh take if they were selecting in the top half of the draft? Following the conclusion of the 2023 NFL Draft, Steelers scouts have been building their 2024 NFL Draft big boards. Countless hours of tape and conference room debates will determine the next batch of black and gold newcomers. It’s a much longer and more arduous process than the 48 hours it took me to put this together — and it’s far from a finished product on both their ends and mine, when considering the NFL combine, Pro Days, etc. are still looming. But...
