The last two defensive coordinators of the Pittsburgh Steelers before Teryl Austin are enjoying retirement. But Pittsburgh’s defensive coordinator prior to Dick LaBeau’s second DC stint, Tim Lewis, has a new job opportunity. ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Boston College is expected to hire Lewis as the program’s new defensive coordinator. “Sources: Boston College is working toward hiring Tim lewis as the school’s new defensive coordinator,” Thamel wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on February 13. “He’s a longtime NFL assistant coach who has worked for six different franchises, including defensive coordinator for the Steelers (2000-03) and Giants (2004-06). Lewis served…

Obviously, this particular trade is good for Chicago because it clears the way for Williams (or whichever quarterback they draft) to start immediately (if that is the direction they wish to take). Barring any other trades involving the Bears in the first round, they also retain the ninth overall pick which they can use on a wide receiver. The additional second round pick they receive from the Steelers would allow them to address other positions of need early in the NFL Draft. PFF projects that they would use that pick to draft Penn State edge rusher Adisa Isaac. Most importantly,…

One of the biggest questions the Chicago Bears face this offseason is what to do with the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Of course, this is the pick that they acquired from the Carolina Panthers when they trade wide receiver DJ Moore. It ended up being a steal for Chicago who ended the 2023 season with a top-10 pick themselves, but not a high enough one to take one of the premier quarterbacks. Obviously, the second-biggest question (and one that relates to the first) the Bears face is what to do with quarterback Justin Fields. Do they…

The Steelers made a few cuts on Monday as they attempt to get under the salary cap ahead of free agency, but they are still projected to be $7.44M over, which means more releases are likely on the way and one could be in the form of an eight-time Pro Bowler. That player is veteran CB Patrick Peterson, who signed a two-year, $14M contract with Pittsburgh last offseason. Peterson will be 34 at the start of next season and has a cap hit of nearly $10M, per Spotrac. That’s way too much money for a player that was consistently picked…

Cleveland Browns fans’ dislike of the Pittsburgh Steelers is strong. Once Minkah Fitzpatrick hurt Nick Chubb and TJ Watt whined on social media that he lost Defensive Player of the Year to Myles Garrett, the level of vitriol hit new heights. In a lot of ways, the Browns and Steelers are in the same place going into 2024. Both teams made the playoffs in 2023 but were taken out in the opening round. The AFC North rivals have huge question marks at the quarterback position and changed offensive coordinators in the offseason. Pittsburgh just released QB Mitch Trubisky as the…

This offseason, the AFC North is going to see a shake-up at quarterback in one of its rooms. The Pittsburgh Steelers will not be rolling into the 2024 season with Mason Rudolph or Kenny Pickett as their starter, you can bet on it. With a lot of options out there whether it be via free agency, trade or trading up in the 2024 NFL Draft, Pittsburgh has avenues to make a change. One NFL insider believes they will go the route of a veteran. Specifically, ESPN’s Adam Schefter gave us three veterans the Steelers may target when speaking recently on…

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the market for a quarterback. Could former Ohio State star and current Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields be their top target? The Bears have the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and most experts believe they’ll take USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the top selection. If they take Williams, then they could trade Fields. The Steelers have emerged as the favorite to land Fields according to the latest odds. Pittsburgh is -125 to trade for Fields according to DraftKings. They were +550 to land him earlier this offseason. The Falcons (+600) and Patriots…

The Pittsburgh Steelers cleared some cap space on Monday by releasing quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Trubisky, 29, signed a two-year extension with the Steelers last year, but Pittsburgh decided it was time to move on as the quarterback had no guaranteed money left on his deal. Trubisky started two games for Pittsburgh last season and did not impress in either showing. He eventually lost his job to Mason Rudolph, the team’s No. 3 quarterback at one point. The former No. 2 overall pick from the 2017 NFL Draft and former Buffalo Bills backup is now looking for a new home and…

The Pittsburgh Steelers cut quarterback Mitch Trubisky on Monday, sending the former No. 2 overall draft pick into free agency after two disappointing seasons. Trubisky signed with the Steelers in March 2022 and was given first crack at replacing the retired Ben Roethlisberger. Trubisky started four games before being benched in favor of then-rookie Kenny Pickett. Trubisky struggled again this season while filling in for an injured Pickett, losing starts against New England and Indianapolis before being replaced by third-stringer Mason Rudolph. Releasing Trubisky creates about $11.5 million in salary cap space over the next two seasons. With Trubisky gone,…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have already begun making changes this offseason. Just a day after the Kansas City Chiefs lifted the Super Bowl trophy, the Steelers started letting go of players. In an effort to open up some cap space for the 2024 offseason, the Steelers moved on from Mitch Trubisky, Pressley Harvin III, and Chukwuma Okorafor. The moves opened up more than $12 million in cap space. That space should end up getting used to find reinforcements elsewhere on the roster when free agency opens next month. One of the positions that could be addressed with that cap space is…
