In previous stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers, kicker Matthew Wright has worn No. 16 and 4. But according to the NFL Jersey Numbers X (formerly Twitter) account, Wright will wear No. 8 this summer. Previously, quarterback Kenny Pickett wore No. 8 for the Steelers. “Pittsburgh Steelers K Matthew Wright is wearing number 8,” wrote NFL Jersey Numbers on X. “Last worn by Kenny Pickett.” The Steelers electing to give Pickett’s old number to a backup kicker generated quite the reaction from social media. “Already a better 8 than Pickett…” wrote Valente on X. “They are about the same size,” wrote…

In 2023, George Pickens cemented himself as the WR1 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He put together a monster second season in the league. Unfortunately, the team’s wide receiver situation isn’t great once you get past him. It seems that has made him one of the receivers most in need of help in this year’s draft. NFL.com’s Michelle Magdziuk revealed that she believes he belongs on that list in an April 18 article. She wrote: “However, he has yet to post a season with 70-plus receptions in college or the NFL as a full-time WR1. Pickens is a strong, big-bodied receiver…

It does not appear that the Pittsburgh Steelers will be able to acquire wide receiver Courtland Sutton from the Denver Broncos. But Steelers Now’s Nick Farabaugh suggested a new potential trade target for Pittsburgh — New York Giants wideout Darius Slayton. Farabaugh argued the Steelers could pursue Slayton to start along with budding star receiver George Pickens. “This could be an under-the-radar strong move for the Steelers if they were willing to cough up some draft capital,” Farabaugh wrote. “Slayton is still on an affordable deal, and a new contract will not break the bank. “Theoretically, the team will want…

Despite reasons to believe Brandon Aiyuk will not be leaving the San Francisco 49ers this offseason, NFL pundits have continued connecting Aiyuk to the Pittsburgh Steelers. On April 18, Fox Sports’ David Helman and Carmen Vitali proposed the Steelers trade their No. 20 overall pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft to the 49ers. In the proposal, the Steelers received Aiyuk. “Maybe you think pick No. 20 is rich for an All-Pro wide receiver, but I’m here to remind you the Titans fetched more when they sent A.J. Brown to Philadelphia two years ago,” Helman and Vitali…

Kool-Aid McKinstry from Alabama is one of the top rated cornerback prospects in the 2024 NFL draft. But Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine argued he shouldn’t be a consideration for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round. Ballentine lamented that the Steelers need to target a player to improve their offense at No. 20 overall. So, he named McKinstry the one prospect the Steelers “must avoid” in the draft. “The Pittsburgh Steelers may be tempted to pair the Alabama product with Joey Porter Jr. if he’s still on the board at No. 20,” wrote Ballentine. “However, the Steelers were 10th in…

PITTSBURGH — After an offseason that has seen the Pittsburgh Steelers much of their wide receiver room, fans and analysts alike have been looking ahead to the NFL Draft for options to shore up a group that is currently led by only George Pickens and Calvin Austin. ESPN journalist Mina Kimes thinks that one of the teams that could be in the market for trading up for a wideout is the Steelers More specifically, Kimes believes that the Steelers should be one of the teams in the market for a trade that would net them Washington wide receiever Rome Odunze.…

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers totally revamped their quarterback room this offseason, adding Russell Wilson and Justin Fields – and Kyle Allen – while trading Kenny Pickett, releasing Mitch Trubisky and letting Mason Rudolph walk. But not everyone is overly convinced it’s going to work out. Despite the improvements by name, the Steelers’ new quarterback room does has some concerns. ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky pointed out one, saying Pittsburgh might be in trouble because their quarterbacks get themselves in trouble with sacks. “Who’s going to take the less ridiculous sacks? In the last two seasons, Russell Wilson has taken 100 sacks.…

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has become the latest footballer to speak out against the dangerous workload of elite-level players. Silva produced the winner for City in their FA Cup final semi-final against Chelsea – just three days after playing 120 minutes in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid. FIFPRO and medical science recommends at least five days of rest and recovery time between two appearances to minimise injury risk and allow for a full recovery. Speaking to the media after City’s win against Chelsea, Silva said: “We didn’t play on a level field because the FA didn’t…

Was Manchester City’s ‘worst performance of the season’ actually their best? City were tired against Chelsea, kicking off less than three days since crashing out of the Champions League following 120 long minutes against Real Madrid. They kept faith with seven of the starters who faced Real and lost two of their fresher players to injury. No wonder they weren’t at their best at Wembley. They didn’t need to be. The fact that they still reached a second successive FA Cup final despite all those challenges shows what kind of a team Pep Guardiola has created. ‘You are tired? F—…

Liam Gallagher has sent an X-rated message in response to Alan Shearer’s suggestion that Pep Guardiola could have made more changes to his team for Saturday’s win over Chelsea. The Newcastle United legend was working as a pundit for BBC Sport alongside Frank Lampard and Micah Richards for Manchester City’s FA Cup semi-final against the Stamford Bridge club. Guardiola’s side won 1-0 thanks to a second-half goal from Bernardo Silva. But the City manager was far from pleased after the match, with the Catalan coach furious at his team having to play just days after their Champions League quarter-final defeat…
