The Green Bay Packers have found their next backup to Jordan Love, taking Michael Pratt in the 2024 NFL Draft. After tons of picks in this year’s draft, the Packers used one of their two selections in the seventh round to take Pratt.

Expect Pratt to compete for the backup quarterback spot with 2023 draft pick Sean Clifford. Who Is Michael Pratt? While he wasn’t considered a top-tier QB prospect, Pratt should…

It’s not remotely uncommon this time of year for NFL teams to carry two quarterbacks who could reasonably start. However, rarely are those two quarterbacks as accomplished as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ potential starters. In 2024, the Steelers will have the ability to turn to a nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback in Russell Wilson or an attractive work-in-progress in Justin Fields. With speculation already buzzing about the state of the race, Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin updated reporters Saturday on where Fields and Wilson stand heading into camp. “You know, right now in the early stages of team development, (Wilson) is in pole…

In March, we heard it was highly unlikely the Steelers would exercise the fifth-year option on Justin Fields‘ rookie contract. Indeed, Pittsburgh appears to have no plans to commit to Fields’ money in 2025 with the option deadline coming in just over a week. The Steelers are expected to decline an option to pay Fields $25.7M fully guaranteed next year, ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter reports. Teams have until May 2 to exercise or decline options; this has loomed as one of the more predictable options calls for a bit now. Fields’ value around the league turned out to be far lower…

The Pittsburgh Steelers found themselves in the midst of numerous trade rumors regarding wide receivers during the offseason. Speculation ran rampant, with many anticipating a bold move to kick off the draft by acquiring a star player at the position. However, such a dramatic shift didn’t materialize. Instead, the Steelers opted to address their wide receiver needs by selecting Roman Wilson in the third round of the draft. Wilson’s addition has injected a palpable sense of excitement among fans and has bolstered confidence in the team’s wide receiver corps. Yet, the buzz surrounding potential acquisitions hasn’t subsided. Rumors persist that…

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan has received a lot of praise for his 2024 NFL Draft haul, but assistant general manager Andy Weidl certainly deserves a lot of credit, as well. His fingerprints are all over the Steelers’ heavy investment in bolstering the offensive line. The Khan and Weidl regime have made one thing clear in Pittsburgh; they want to build up the trenches and dominate up front. Three of Pittsburgh’s first five picks in the draft were offensive lineman — offensive tackle Troy Fautanu in the first, center Zach Frazier in the second and guard Mason McCormick in…

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was all smiles in his interview with NFL Network after the 2024 NFL Draft. After speaking glowingly on new wide receiver Roman Wilson, they turned their attention to the newly rebuilt offensive line, where the Steelers spent three of their top-five picks in the draft, including offensive tackle Troy Fautanu in the first, center Zach Frazier in the second and interior OL Mason McCormick. “Coach, you drafted three offensive linemen, including one at the top there, Troy Fautanu. All of them love football, all of them passionate, all of them physical. Was continuing to…

Many Pittsburgh Steelers players were victims of fines dished out by the NFL in 2023, most notably, Kwon Alexander and Jaylen Warren. Neither player was being paid a lot, so the fines they were receiving took a significant toll on their livelihood. Both were fined multiple times for using their helmet. For Warren, it was when he was a ballcarrier and for Alexander, it was while making tackles. Fines have always existed in the NFL, but recently, they have become more of an issue as they are becoming more common and players that aren’t being paid a ton are being…

The Pittsburgh Steelers are wrapping up the 2024 NFL Draft this weekend, and Steelers’ star Cameron Heyward is hosting a live draft party from Acrisure Stadium. As a special guest on Heyward’s watch party, Steelers’ running back Jaylen Warren was asked about the current quarterback saga going down in Pittsburgh. The quarterback drama was obviously the biggest headline in the 2024 offseason for Pittsburgh, and Warren gave a frank and brutally honest opinion on the quarterback room now compared to the last few seasons. The Steelers hit the restart button for quarterback this offseason, whether that was their original plan…

The Pittsburgh Steelers are on the clock! Well, soon they will be. As will the other teams in Round 1 (AKA, all teams not named the Panthers, Browns and Texans), as the action gets rolling Thursday, April 25 at 8 p.m. ET! The Pittsburgh Steelers hold the 20th overall pick in this year’s draft, though rumors have been buzzing about a potential trade-up (potentially for OL Graham Barton, as rumored by Mel Kiper). Time will tell what the Steelers will do in Round 1, but regardless of the outcome in the first round, fans can rest assured they’ll likely be…

The Steelers finally selected a defensive back with their last scheduled pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, picking Texas’ Ryan Watts. RELATED Pittsburgh Steelers select Texas CB Ryan Watts with the 195th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft As a cornerback, Watts ran a 4.53-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, with draft reports questioning his ability to stay with receivers at the NFL level. Their solution? A move to safety, which would fit Watt’s 6’3, 208-pound frame and aggressive play style to perfection. Watts gives the Steelers a quality name in their safety room after the team’s depth…
