The New York Jets are signing former Steelers offensive tackle Obinna Eze to a reserve/future contract, the team announced. He spent two months of the season on their practice squad. Pittsburgh signed Eze to help with tackle depth after the injury to Dan Moore Jr. before the bye week, but was released once the team experienced injuries at inside linebacker. Eze, 25, is in his second professional season. The 6-foot-8, 325-pound native of Lagos, Nigeria, joined the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent coming out of TCU in 2022. He played basketball coming out of Nigeria, which helped his…

The Pittsburgh Steelers released punter Pressley Harvin III on Monday, and is now looking for a new spot after the team that drafted him moved on. Pittsburgh’s seventh-round draft pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Harvin struggled to maintain consistency and now has been released by the team. In his post-season debriefing, Mike Tomlin mentioned that Harvin had not met their standards. “You know, I’ll acknowledge that Pressley (Harvin) wasn’t consistent enough, particularly down the stretch,” Tomlin said. But Harvin came into the league as a highly-touted player. He won the Ray Guy Award at Georgia Tech and seemed destined…

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back, Chandon Sullivan didn’t play as much as he was used in previous NFL stops with the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings, but he felt that he was able to make an impact in the opportunities he received. With all the injuries in Pittsburgh’s secondary, Sullivan was a constant presence, even if he wasn’t a consistent starter. The six-year veteran is entering free agency and said the team expressed an interest in bringing him back. Sullivan told Steelers Takeaways that getting his first interception as a Steeler was a moment that special for him. He expanded…

The Pittsburgh Steelers are stuck in an NFL world where the quarterback position trumps all others. Ben Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season and the search for a new face of the franchise began. This resulted in the addition of Mitchell Trubisky through free agency, but the big move came when the franchise decided to take Kenny Pickett in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Many were excited that the University of Pittsburgh product would be staying in town; however, his two seasons in the Steel City have not gone according to plan so far, with inconsistent play…

The Pittsburgh Steelers released Mitch Trubisky on Monday, and there have been multiple places floated about where he could end up going. But Tony Grossi, a prominent writer in Cleveland, has an idea of where Trubisky could go — the Steelers’ rival, the Cleveland Browns, to help replace Joe Flacco, who is likely on his way out. “Mitch Trubisky as a backup potentially,” Grossi said on ESPN Cleveland. “First of all Trubisky was highly regarded by the Paul DePodesta and Andrew Berry regime when he came out of the draft. And also there’s the Ken Dorsey link. Trubisky went from…

With NFL free agency just two weeks away, we decide to put together our first 2024 NFL mock draft here on Steelers Wire. This was more about who we think would be best for each team and less about predicting what each team will do on draft day so when it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers, we weren’t able to just hand-pick our favorite prospects for each round. 1 – Chicago Bears – WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State We just don’t know if any team is going to want to give up the draft picks to take on Justin…

This team has several key roster needs and after the success of the 2023 draft, expectations are high for general manager Omar Khan. CBS Sports put out a new mock draft and we were excited to see what direction the Steelers went. Then we were even more curious when we saw the Steelers traded up. And then we saw they traded up to draft an offensive tackle and our excitement faded. They have the Steelers trading up…

Back in 1971, the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted tight end Larry Brown in the fifth round of the NFL draft. Brown spent his first six seasons with the Steelers as a tight end, amassing just 48 receptions. Head coach Chuck Noll didn’t give up on Brown. Instead, he converted the big strong run blocker into a right tackle where he started 85 games over the next eight seasons. He even made the Pro Bowl in 1982 and was enshrined into the Steelers Ring of Honor in 2019. Why does all this matter? Because the Steelers currently have tight end Darnell Washington…

For Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett, this offseason is likely to be the toughest of his career. Everything is seemingly on the table for the Steelers, with it being all but a certainty that Pittsburgh will add competition for Kenny Pickett via trade, free agency or the draft But one of Pickett’s staunchest supporters is ESPN analyst and former Pitt Panther Louis Riddick, who is less than two years removed from pounding the table for Pickett as a player who shared his alma mater. But even Riddick couldn’t resist one of the biggest trade rumors in Pittsburgh. “I don’t want…

The Pittsburgh Steelers overhauled its inside linebacker room before the 2023 season after Devin Bush Jr., Robert Spillane, Myles Jack, and Mark Robinson failed to provide enough splash plays in 2022. Cole Holcomb and Elandon Roberts entered the mix during the initial free agency period, and Kwon Alexander was brought in later to fill out the starting roster. Things were going well for the unit until injuries to Holcomb and Alexander in successive weeks landed them on the shelf for the rest of the season. Pittsburgh tried to adjust by bringing in some veterans, like Jack back, to soften the…
