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 …

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 wi…

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…

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 lineba…

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’ secon…

We might think the Steelers, under the new leadership of GM Omar Khan and his top assistant Andy Weidl, have learned the hard way that investing upfront is the most proven way to build a winning NFL team. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoicesBy PennLive

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 …

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! Le…

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,…

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 …

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 ca…

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 tack…

Super Bowl LVII awaits. The 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is a win away from making a last to first ascension. If he completes this astonishing journey from Mr. Irrelevant to Super Bowl champion in his second year, it will be among the all-time stories in sports. For Steelers fans, there will be a special kind of bitterness and disappointment. Lear…

The NFL playoffs are causing a big case of quarterback envy across Steelers Nation. The postseason matchups are proving that now more than ever, a franchise quarterback is a mandatory requirement for a deep Super Bowl run. Yet, Plan A for Pittsburgh appears to be handing the starting job back to Kenny Pickett in 2024. Learn more about your ad choic…

In the days after yet another lopsided playoff loss, this one a 17-31 snow job vs. the Bills, any Steelers suspense that Mike Tomlin was going anywhere quickly evaporated. Steelers players had his back, and the Rooney family, which has employed just three head coaches since 1969, would soon have a multi-year contract extension ready. Various NFL in…

The Steelers have that look. It’s the appearance of a team no one wants to face in the playoffs. Pittsburgh is playing smash mouth in the ground game and hitting the splash play downfield when defenses stack the box. A huge part of the Steelers’ recent success is QB Mason Rudolph running the offense effectively – and utilizing receiver George Picke…

Kenny Pickett won over the Pittsburgh fanbase long before he ever won the Steelers’ starting job at quarterback. This is why the second-year player out of Pitt has suffered so badly by comparison with third-stringer-come-starter Mason Rudolph. The latter’s ability to execute the offense the way it was meant to operate has been jarring. True-blue Pi…

With four games left in the 2023 regular season, the Steelers currently hold the No. 6 seed in the AFC. But you’ll have to forgive Steelers Nation if it doesn’t take the bait. Witnessing the Steelers making NFL history with back-to-back home losses to 2-10 Arizona and New England seemed to take everything out of this fanbase. Unlike so many Pittsbu…

The uninspiring streak Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin is best known for is his 16 years and counting of ‘non-losing seasons.’ Notice, the operative term is ‘non-losing season.’ A streak of winning seasons has a much better ring to it. But this can’t be applied to Tomlin. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

Kenny Pickett’s Steelers career hung in the balance not even two years removed from being drafted at pick 20 in 2022. By the time the hated Cleveland Browns and their rookie passer celebrated their 13-10 win on the Acrisure Stadium turf on Nov. 19, Pickett had gone from looking hesitant and unsure to beaten down and nearly broken. There were no fou…
