Pittsburgh officials preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft will face a unique logistical challenge never before encountered by a host city: how to get hundreds of thousands of fans around an event spanning two sites separated by a river. No one struck panic mode Wednesday during a discussion on the...

Rampant speculation holds that Aaron Rodgers will announce that he’s a Steeler at Pat McAfee’s live event April 9 at PPG Paints Arena. If that’s the initial confirmation of Rodgers’ commitment, the Steelers will have lost control of that situation from the very first moment. A legendary logo becomes reality...

Bon voyage, Russell Wilson. We hardly knew ye! Oops, sorry. We hardly knew yinz. The veteran free-agent quarterback signed a one-year contract with the New York Giants on Tuesday. After just one season and 12 games as the Steelers starting quarterback, the Wilson era is over practically before it began....

Cameron Heyward sure sounds like he is walking back his comments about potential new teammate Aaron Rodgers. During his “Not Just Football” podcast last week, Heyward was asked about the drawn-out discussions regarding the Steelers’ vacant starting quarterback job. “I think, just (sigh) … I want to play football,” Heyward...

The Pittsburgh Steelers added a veteran interior offensive lineman to their offseason roster, claiming Lecitus Smith off waivers from the New England Patriots on Tuesday. Smith, who will be 27 when training camp opens, has appeared in 18 NFL games since he was a 2022 sixth-round pick of the Arizona...

In a move that signals the Pittsburgh Steelers will have no returning quarterbacks for the second year in a row, Russell Wilson agreed to a one-year contract with the New York Giants, according to ESPN and NFL Network reports. Wilson, who started the final 12 games of the 2024 season,...

The football world is waiting with simmering impatience to see if the Pittsburgh Steelers sign Aaron Rodgers to be their next starting quarterback. But as “Ayahuasca Aaron” ruminates over the decision, by extension another truth has come to light. The Steelers have plenty of other issues besides quarterback — especially...

In Wednesday’s “First Call,” Aaron Rodgers is making contact with at least one Pittsburgh Steelers target on offense. We investigate how Russell Wilson still may be able to help his now-former team. There is an update on the recovery of ex-Steeler James Daniels. We tell you if Alex Ovechkin is...

It seems possible that the Steelers will (drum roll) sign Aaron Rodgers. He visited, probably had a Primanti’s sandwich, maybe rode the incline, so he’s hooked. What exactly would Rodgers bring to the table? It might not be everything you think. Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks of all...

For all the podcast downloads, talk show air time, column space and television segments that have been dedicated toward figuring out what the Pittsburgh Steelers are doing at quarterback, one unfortunate reality exists: None of the feasible candidates that have been discussed offer much hope that the team is going...

On Friday, free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers paid a visit to Pittsburgh. By Sunday night, ProFootballTalk.com was saying that Rodgers was a “safe bet” to become a Steeler. During this week’s “Madden Monday” podcast, Mark Madden of 105.9 The X, said that the Steelers would be making a shortsighted decision...

Monday’s “First Call” passes along a pair of reports involving Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson. We look at two defensive linemen that may be on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ radar in the NFL Draft. And Megan McConnell put on another show as Duquesne stayed alive in the WNIT. Is there such...

As NFL free agency nears the end of its second week, it’s a good time to analyze what the Pittsburgh Steelers did — and, more importantly, didn’t do — to improve the roster. That correlates with the draft, which is a month away, and where the organization might allocate its...

Aside from waiting for Aaron Rodgers to make up his mind as he indulges his endless narcissism, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback debacle has some interesting sidebars. Why would Mason Rudolph come back to Pittsburgh? Rudolph had a queasy six years with the Steelers before spending last season with the Tennessee Titans....

Aaron Rodgers checked out his potential new employer Friday. The 41-year-old quarterback and four-time NFL MVP visited the Pittsburgh Steelers for several hours at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, a source confirmed to TribLive. The Steelers made Rodgers a contract offer when free agency began 10 days ago, and they have...

James Pierre keeps finding his way back to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The veteran cornerback re-signed with the team Thursday when he agreed to a one-year contract. Pierre, 28, appeared in 15 games last season with the Steelers, re-joining them after he was released by the Washington Commanders in training camp....

What did I learn from “U mad, bro?” this week? Hmm. Well, let’s see. I learned that I am too hard on the Pittsburgh Steelers, but I’m not hard enough on the owner. I learned that Steelers fans are somewhere between irrational optimism and hopeless depression. And I learned that...

Thursday’s “First Call” has the latest spin on the Aaron Rodgers saga from a Pittsburgh perspective. There’s news about some potential college quarterbacks in the draft, as well. The Steelers are lobbying for some changes to free agency. And we have career updates regarding a pair of former Steelers. One...

The Pittsburgh Steelers added a third depth piece along the defensive line Wednesday when they signed former Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars lineman Esezi Otomewo to a one-year contract. Earlier this week, the Steelers re-signed former fifth-round pick Isaiahh Loudermilk and added free agent Daniel Ekuale, formerly of the New...

In his most recent mockup, ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. based his first-round selection for the Pittsburgh Steelers on the belief that they would have a veteran quarterback, presumably Aaron Rodgers, in place before the draft. Kiper slotted Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon to the Steelers with the No. 21...

The Green Bay Packers have formally proposed a rule change to ban the tush push and the Detroit Lions proposed that playoff seeding be done based on record instead of automatically placing division winners in the top four spots. Teams made several other proposals released Wednesday that will be added...

We might have some movement on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback front, and it may be Aaron Rodgers-related. Bill Cowher has some thoughts on what the Steelers should do at quarterback. A little controversy is following a new Steeler out of Cleveland. And we have an update on Alex Ovechkin’s pursuit...

Steelers Nation can take some credit for bringing the league’s largest offseason event to Pittsburgh. And, for the NFL Draft next year, they’ll be taking over Point State Park, the anticipated venue of a free fan festival known as the NFL Draft Experience, documents show. Cities compete to host the...

Cameron Heyward is tired of being in the dark about Aaron Rodgers’ potential signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rodgers has put the Steelers — as well as the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings — on hold regarding his football future. He hasn’t made a decision a week into NFL...
