6/7/26 10:00 AM -
Pittsburgh’s Three Outside Linebacker Plan Could Face A Roadblock. Even before Nick Herbig’s mega-contract extension, there was no question the Pittsburgh Steelers planned to use three EDGE rusher packages featuring T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, and Herbig himself. Herbig’s new deal only reinforces the idea. Pittsburgh has confidently stated their goal to utilize all three as impact players and get proper return on their large […]

6/7/26 8:01 AM -
Could Darnell Washington Become Steelers’ TE1?. Could Darnell Washington eventually become the Steelers’ top tight end? With Darnell Washington locked up for the next five seasons, how might the Steelers’ tight end room evolve over time?

‘A Lot More Dynamic’: Max Starks Outlines Expectations For Steelers’ New-Look Offense. In many ways, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense is going to look different in 2026. There were key additions to the receiver room, the backfield, and the offensive line. And at tight end, Pittsburgh may see a little addition by subtraction with the loss of Jonnu Smith.

Darnell Washington (TE - PIT)

6/6/26 7:00 PM -
Analyst Suggests Joey Porter Jr. Isn’t Worth Elite Cornerback Money, Too Many ‘Ups And Downs’. After signing Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington to extensions in recent days, the focus shifts to Joey Porter Jr. as the presumptive next player the Pittsburgh Steelers will be looking to extend.

McCorkle: The Veteran QB Who Could Shake Up Pittsburgh’s 2027 Plans. There’s a growing narrative that it’s 2026 or bust for the Pittsburgh Steelers, with one last season of Aaron Rodgers quarterbacking the team. But what if there’s another veteran option who could extend Pittsburgh’s window with the most expensive defense in the league still mostly intact? It’s worth keeping an eye on Baker Mayfield’s situation […]

6/6/26 11:16 AM -
Perspective Of An Average Steelers Fan: Jason Simmons Returns To Pittsburgh. As an average Pittsburgh Steelers fan, I’m always excited when a former player rejoins the team as a coach. Jason Simmons started his NFL career as a defensive back drafted out of Arizona State University back in 1998. Now at age 50, he’s returned as the Steelers’ defensive pass game coordinator and defensive backs coach. […]

Pat Freiermuth Predicts ‘Very Successful Year’ With Talented New Offense. For once, the Steelers don’t feel short of weapons on offense, and TE Pat Freiermuth seems to sense the difference. Bolstering the receiving corps with Michael Pittman Jr. and drafting Germie Bernard, the wide receivers are certainly deeper. In the tight end room, a culling of Jonnu Smith could actually see a net benefit in […]
