PITTSBURGH (AP) – There used to be a time – say the vast majority of the franchise’s first 92 seasons – when the Pittsburgh Steelers would rely almost exclusively on the NFL draft to address whatever holes they might have on the roster. Those days appear to be over. The Steelers went through a very unSteeler-like March in which they signed Russell Wilson, traded for Justin Fields and gave inside linebacker Patrick Queen the biggest free-agent contract in team history. It shortened Pittsburgh’s shopping list when the draft begins April 25. It did not eliminate the list entirely. “Obviously, the…

While the focal point of the Steelers’ hiring of Arthur Smith is what the run game will look like- specifically heavier personnel, an offensive line that will have at least one new starter, and a healthy dose of both Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. However, the passing game will look a lot different, as well, as I covered more in depth earlier this week. Specifically, the deep passing game is going to be a more integral focus for the Steelers, and George Pickens will benefit greatly from it. Ryan Tannehill’s production with Arthur Smith If we look at the 2019…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have re-made their quarterback room this offseason, but it’s still a position they need to fix for the long-term. I’m not sure why people think Justin Fields can sit for a year and all of a sudden put it together for the long-term in Pittsburgh. There’s a reason why he was traded for a sixth-round pick. And there’s a reason why the Denver Broncos are paying Russell Wilson nearly $40 million to not play for them in 2024. While the QB room might be fun now, the future is much different. For the Steelers, coming away with…

The Brandon Aiyuk saga continues, as rumors have swirled the All-Pro wide receiver wants out of San Francisco. To this point, the team has either not been interested in trading him, or has not received what they feel is a fair offer. Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported on Monday the Pittsburgh Steelers tried trading for Brandon Aiyuk but were told the 49ers have no interest in trading their star receiver. Brandon Aiyuk is currently set to play the 2024 season on his fifth-year option. He would earn around $14 million. However, Aiyuk has made it clear that he…

Manchester City were knocked out of the Champions League quarter-finals after a 5-4 penalty shoot-out defeat to Real Madrid. The match was taken to extra-time and consequently penalties after the sides drew 1-1 at the Etihad Stadium. Rodrygo’s 12th minute opener was cancelled out by Kevin De Bruyne in the second half. Pep Guardiola had a full squad at his disposal, with trio Kyle Walker, Phil Foden and Rodri named in the starting XI. Foden was substituted off with a dead leg in the first game and consequently was named as unused substitute in the 5-1 win over Luton Town…

The Pittsburgh Steelers are new to the Russell Wilson experience, and he has already got himself in hot water with some recent comments. In an interview with Essence magazine, he insinuated that he has opened a lot of doors for Black quarterbacks due to his early success in the 2010s. These comments were not taken well by a lot of people, as it seemed Wilson was discrediting the Black quarterbacks who came before him. Wilson has been called out a few times for his comments by people in the football world, most recently by Mark Schlereth. Wilson saw a lot…

The Pittsburgh Steelers completely revamped their quarterback room this offseason, signing Russell Wilson and then trading for Justin Fields. While the general consensus is that Wilson will be the starter until further notice, a minor quarterback controversy has now ensued in Pittsburgh. As a matter of fact, former Steelers safety Ryan Clark thinks Fields will end up supplanting Wilson at some point next season. “I just think that eventually Justin Fields is going to get his opportunity to play, get his opportunity to start,” Clark said during an appearance on the All Things Covered podcast. “How long can Russell Wilson…

With wide receiver a clear position of need for the Steelers heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, there’s much debate about what Pittsburgh should do. Trading Diontae Johnson to the Panthers opened up a hole at WR2 on the depth chart behind George Pickens. Few wondered about Pittsburgh’s strategy in the past, especially when it came to receivers. The Steelers looked to the draft for wideouts for over a decade with GM Kevin Colbert in charge of building the roster. However, the ascension of Omar Khan to general manager in 2022 has created uncertainty, mostly due to some uncharacteristic moves,…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been in dire need of a wide receiver ever since they traded away their star, Diontae Johnson, to the Carolina Panthers. With new quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields in town, it’s evident that shoring up the wide receiver position is a top priority on the offensive side of the ball. Reports have been circulating for some time that the Steelers are actively seeking a standout wide receiver through trade. Among the most intriguing names is San Francisco 49ers star Brandon Aiyuk. However, confusion arose when leaked text messages suggested Aiyuk was seeking a trade. These…

Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick confirmed that he understood what he was doing to the New York Jets when he traded back with the Pittsburgh Steelers at the 2023 NFL Draft. The Jets were looking for a tackle and had Georgia’s Broderick Jones falling down the board toward them at pick No. 15. The Steelers also wanted Jones and worked out a deal with the Patriots to move up from No. 17 to No. 14 to get ahead of the Jets and make sure they were able to get him. The Patriots wanted to draft a cornerback,…
