(Photo by Chris Unger/Getty Images)   One of the most intriguing moves that any team can make in the front office is restructuring a player’s contract. Usually, they do that in an effort to clear up some cap space. The Pittsburgh Steelers are the most recent team to do that. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, they restructured pass-rusher Alex Highsmith’s contract to save $7 million in cap space. The #Steelers have done a simple restructure of the salary of pass-rusher Alex Highsmith to create more than $7M in salary cap space, source said. A little breathing room. — Ian Rapoport ..read more

Steelers GM Could Make Surprising Move In NFL Draft

(Photo by Nick Cammett/Getty Images)   The Pittsburgh Steelers desperately needed an upgrade at the most crucial position. Their quarterback room of Mitch Trubisky, Mason Rudolph, and Kenny Pickett was either the worst or second-worst in the league, yet they still managed to make the playoffs. One could only assume that a new offensive coordinator and even a slight improvement at quarterback could make them Super Bowl contenders. With that in mind, they cleaned house and went with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields instead. Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean they’re done adding bodies to that r ..read more

(Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images)   The Pittsburgh Steelers have a new quarterback, and he isn’t just another signal-caller, he’s a likely future Hall of Famer. Russell Wilson, after being released by the Denver Broncos following a failed two-year stint there, signed with Pittsburgh, giving them their first truly competent player at that position since Ben Roethlisberger retired following the 2021 season. He seems to be acclimating to his new market well — per Dov Kleiman, he was seen donning Pittsburgh Pirates gear and crushing some baseballs during batting practice. Steelers QB R ..read more

  Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow recently stole the headlines for his comments about the Kansas City Chiefs. He recently claimed that as good a team as they are, he strongly believes the Bengals are built to take them down. They’ve found success against them in the past, including a win in the AFC Championship Game a couple of seasons ago, so that’s not a far-fetched thought. Even so, NFL analyst Craig Carton believes they shouldn’t focus on the Chiefs right now. Instead, he thinks they need to worry about their own division, as the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be a legitimate pr ..read more

(Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)   The Pittsburgh Steelers already look better than they did last season. They haven’t even gotten together for their offseason preparation, yet most people believe they could be a sneaky dark horse to come out of the AFC. That’s what happens when you go from Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, and Mitch Trubisky to Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Still, as better as they should be next season, the Steelers need more weapons for their passing game if they want to make a statement in one of the most competitive divisions in all of football. That’s why the ..read more

Analyst Predicts Steelers Will Draft Lineman At No. 20

(Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)   The Pittsburgh Steelers overhauled their quarterback room this offseason, bringing in Super Bowl winner Russell Wilson and trading for Justin Fields of the Chicago Bears to serve as his talented high-upside backup. Last year, Pittsburgh was held back by subpar QB play and many believed that position held the team back from being a contender, and one analyst thinks it is now time to protect these new investments at QB come draft time. PFF’s Steve Palazzolo put out his mock draft for the Steelers and he has them taking Georgia offensive tackle Amari ..read more

Steelers Are Reportedly ‘Having Discussions’ About WR Trade

1w ago
(Photo by Kevin Abele/Icon Sportswire)   The Pittsburgh Steelers have a new-look quarterback room. Russell Wilson is expected to be the starter over Justin Fields, but it’ll be a head-to-head competition throughout the course of the season. They already have a clear-cut WR1 in George Pickens, and TE Pat Freiermuth has proven to be a reliable pass-catcher when healthy. Then again, there’s a bit of a drop-off in talent after that, and the Steelers being the Steelers, they’re not likely to address their need for depth at wide receiver early in the NFL Draft. With that in mind, they could loo ..read more

(Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images)   The Pittsburgh Steelers revamped their quarterback room ahead of this season. They replaced Mason Rudolph, Kenny Pickett, and Mitch Trubisky with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Needless to say, that’s a major improvement, and it now presents a ‘good’ problem to have, as they have two legitimate potential options behind center. As of now, it seems like Wilson has the upper hand in the QB1 competition, and while he’ll be hard-pressed to get the job done, he could also get his career back on track. Whether that’s going to be the case or not, Craig Cart ..read more

Steelers Have Signed A New Kicker

(Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)   The Pittsburgh Steelers were hoping to take a giant leap forward last season when it came to the offense, as they hoped that starting quarterback Kenny Pickett would become the player they hoped he’d be when they drafted him with the No. 20 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, instead of the offense being a strength for the Steelers, it became the team’s biggest weakness as Pickett was unable to develop into the star they were hoping for under center, resulting in the team trading him to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL offseason an ..read more

Joy Taylor Reveals How Russell Wilson Can Silence Doubters

(Photo by Carmen Mandato/Getty Images)   NFL analyst Joy Taylor believes that new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson will have numerous doubters after his not-so-successful run as the Denver Bronco’s quarterback for the past two seasons. To silence these critics, Taylor believes that Wilson – who Pittsburgh signed as a free agent last month – will need to accomplish at least one goal this season: a playoff victory. In a video clip of FS1’s “Speak” Monday program, Taylor had all of her co-hosts agreeing that a Pittsburgh Steelers’ playoff win would quickly hush Wilson’s doubter ..read more
