The Pittsburgh Steelers went all in on the 2026 season, adding a number of key veterans and reshaping the future outlook of the franchise with first-year head coach Mike McCarthy at the helm. A new staff under McCarthy featuring a number of experienced coaches, and a deep, talented roster has the Steelers’ expectations for this […]
If you’re a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2023 draft class — the first one under GM Omar Khan — you’ve likely signed a contract extension this offseason with the Black and Gold. Defensive lineman Keeanu Benton, a second-round pick in 2023, became the latest Steeler to sign an extension last week, agreeing to a […]
Steelers DL Yahya Black has a lot of fans, but Chris Hoke wants to see growth from the second-year player. Following Pittsburgh’s preseason debut, the former Steelers defensive lineman discussed some of the team’s current players.

Mike McCarthy took tackling off the table during training camp, but there are rules for when players can – and can’t – send a hearty thud a teammate’s way. Speaking to reporters Monday, McCarthy laid out his criteria. “We have a rule. ‘You see me, I see you,'” he told reporters via the team’s YouTube […]
Whether the Steelers keep four quarterbacks on their 53-man roster is a hot topic. But if they do it, someone gets the short straw. Inevitably, a player at another position will find himself out the door if Pittsburgh retains all of its passers. Entering the Steelers’ second preseason game, Ray Fittipaldo shared his thoughts on […]
Player: DL Gabriel Rubio Stock Value: Up Reasoning: While he hasn’t locked up a roster spot, rookie Gabriel Rubio is making a strong push to claim one along the defensive line. The sixth-round draft pick is coming of a strong preseason debut that included six total tackles. Among his early fans is former Steelers DL […]
Going into the second Steelers preseason game, it’s time for players to build on their previous performances. We now have tape in actual games, so what they do next will be important to watch. Anybody who is a rookie goes without saying, so my focus is on veterans—anybody in Year 2 or more. Will Howard: […]
The Ravens had a reputation for a having notoriously difficult conditioning test under John Harbaugh, of which some Steelers are familiar. While new HC Jesse Minter has changed things up, memories remain for the likes of Patrick Queen and DeShon Elliott. And it wasn’t just the conditioning test, but their training regimen in general. On […]
Will the Steelers clean up the “no talent” errors in their second preseason game? While the Steelers showed plenty to appreciate in their first preseason game, sloppiness and laxity marred the performance. With 11 penalties against, for a combined 134 yards, they have a lot to clean up. Disturbingly, many came on special teams. Even […]
Will Howard and Drew Allar had encouraging NFL debuts last week, ones that make their encore performance even more exciting. Both now have expectations to continue their success. Though they played well against the Green Bay Packers, Howard and Allar have more boxes to check beyond the ability to show they can stack positive performances. […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers started their preseason slate with a bang last Thursday, with a dominant second half laying the groundwork for a 28-9 win. It was an impressive game in many areas, and while the Steelers were far from perfect, they got strong performances in several key position battles across the roster. But the second […]

There were a lot of questions about Drew Allar coming out of college. However, the Pittsburgh Steelers still invested a third-round pick in him. While they’ve got a crowded quarterback room, Allar has unique physical talents that make him an intriguing prospect. It’s still too early to tell if he’ll be the Steelers’ quarterback of […]
The friendly confines of home come calling again for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2 of preseason action, this time playing the New York Jets at Acrisure Stadium on the North Shore.

Several Steelers Depot readers discuss the Black and Gold every Monday Night on the Clubhouse app. This past Monday, we predicted what the Steelers’ initial 53-man roster will be following their first preseason game. With two more preseason games and various players nursing injuries, there will likely be more transactions before the cutdown from 91 […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ secondary last year was up and down. CB Joey Porter Jr. was a great corner, but the Steelers’ grand plan for the back end of their defense never materialized. CB Darius Slay didn’t last the season. DB Jalen Ramsey played safety a lot to help with injury and talent deficiencies there. S […]
From Kenny Pickett and Justin Fields to Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers, the Pittsburgh Steelers have tried just about every flavor and method of acquiring a quarterback in an effort to finally find an answer at the position in the post-Ben Roethlisberger era. Between Drew Allar, Will Howard, and Mason Rudolph, one player inside the […]
Though the Steelers have retained all rookie draft picks for the past three years, it will be difficult to do with this draft class. It doesn’t help that they drafted 10 players, including two in the seventh round. While it does look like another strong class, it’s unlikely everybody will make it to the 53-man […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been a busy team since starting and ending their 2026 training camp.
