The offseason additions of inside linebacker Patrick Queen and strong safety DeShon Elliott could prove to be a win-win not only by making the Steelers that much stronger, but also by sapping some defensive strength and savvy from the rival Ravens.

All those Yinzers in Pittsburgh flooded sports-talk phone lines with howls of protest after news of their head coach inking a new 3-year contract extension broke earlier this week. When they look at Tomlin, they see this: A past-his-prime coach whose word salad pronouncements are meant to be pithy, put come off tired and stale. Worse, Tomlin isn’t a winner. He’s a non-loser who is now under water in the playoffs with an 8-10 career mark and is absent a postseason victory since 2016. Learn more a...
Defensive tackle Cam Heyward, the Steelers’ first-round pick way back in 2011, wants to cap his stellar career with a big, new contract. Problem is, guys at his position, his age (35) and coming of a serious injury (groin) and two surgeries just don’t get big money deals laden with guaranteed cash. As football investments go, this one is fraught with peril for the Steelers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices...
The Steelers’ somewhat surprising move on running back Najee Harris has spawned plenty of conspiracy theories in Pittsburgh. Among them: New GM Omar Khan is actively attempting to oust all of the players procured by his predecessor, Kevin Colbert. Najee, who won’t get his fifth-year option picked up, is just the latest to be thrown overboard. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Steelers A+ 2024 draft is being universally hailed. They retooled their subpar offensive line, turning a weakness into a strength for the next decade. They snagged a nifty wide receiver who’s being called the second-coming of Hines Ward. And they pulled off the biggest heist of the draft in the fourth round by taking a tough-nosed inside linebacker who Luke Kuechly called a bigger, faster version of himself. So what if Payton Wilson is missing an ACL in one of his knees! The future is bright...
Omar Khan’s 23 months since being anointed the Steelers GM, following Kevin Colbert’s post 2022-draft retirement, has been a masterclass of maximizing return and minimizing risk. Khan set the tone for his eyebrow-raising, now cheer-inducing tenure when he sent underperforming receiver Chase Claypool packing to Chicago in return for the Bears’ second-round pick in the 2023 draft. That selection turned to gold as the Bears kept losing and the pick kept trending upward. When all was said and done, ...

Second-year GM Omar Khan is sending a long-overdue message that’s igniting all of Steelers Nation. With his bold, aggressive personnel moves, he’s declaring the old, stale Steelers Way of plodding, patience and sticking with highly drafted but underperforming players as officially dead and buried. The GM proceeded to blow it all up by shipping out egos, attitudes, and also-rans. He’s settling the score on past mistakes. First round picks, be damned. The Steelers under Khan are no longer standing...
By signing Russell Wilson for one season, it’s win now or start all over again for the Steelers. If you think the Steelers aren’t serious about taking their shot, just ask the division rival Ravens. Hot on the heels of inking Wilson, GM Omar Khan raided the Ravens nest, plucking All-Pro inside linebacker Patrick Queen. In other words, checkmate! Learn more about your ad choices.

The team was supposed to be at the annual rite of passage for draft prospects kicking the tires on a tackle, a center, a safety and an inside linebacker or two. But somewhere amid the 40-year-dashes and cone drills, the Steelers became smitten by the flash and dash of a shiny sports car. The specs that reportedly caught their eye were the 6-foot-3, 215-pound curves and chrome of one of the 2024 drafts top receivers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices...
When Maurkice Pouncey’s errant snap sailed over the head of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger early in the 2020 season playoff game vs. the Cleveland Browns, it signaled this signature position was in crisis. It’s remained so ever since. Kendrick Green, drafted in 2021, was supposed to be Pouncy-Lite. Instead, the overmatched snapper had an aging Ben Roethlisberger running for his life in his final season. Mason Cole, who the Steelers signed in 2022, wasn’t much better.

None other than the most famous “Monday Morning Quarterback,” Peter King, took this potshot at Pittsburgh’s plans for its 2024 passers: “The Steelers ‘are not interested in bringing in a quarterback who wants to be a starter.’ Come again? In a division with Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson, the Steelers would actually choose to enter camp with Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph (should he sign in free agency with Pittsburgh)? That sounds like a colossal misjudgment of your quarterback p...
Steelers fans can only hope the quick dispatch with which GM Omar Khan and his assistant Andy Weidl banished a trio of poor-preforming players the day after Super Bowl 58 is an indication of how speedily and shrewdly they plan to upgrade this roster. There was no real reason or benefit to make the moves on quarterback Mitch Trubisky, offensive tackle Chukwuma Okorafor and punter Pressley Harvin III so soon. But it sure signals the start of the house cleaning and roster reshuffling that’s part of...
