Ben Roethlisberger went full old-man on the younger generation of Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cam Heyward’s not here for it. Heyward, Pittsburgh’s All-Pro defensive end and longtime captain, bristled at recent comments from his former quarterback that the younger generation of Steelers is “coddled.” Roethlisberger cited popular bugaboos “social media” and “NIL” in his critique. [Set, hut, hike! Create or join a fantasy football league now!] Heyward spent a segment of his latest “Not Just Football”… Source link

There are few stories in the NFL about a player who was on track to be considered an all-time great only to squander it like former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell did when he sat out the 2018 NFL season. Bell’s greed and hubris cost him what might have been a Hall of Fame career and it sounds like Bell might be feeling some of that regret. Bell put the statement below out on Instagram as he announces he’s putting football aside to focus on a career in boxing. But in that,… Source link

The ketchup bottles at Heinz Field will soon be in the recycling bin. The Pittsburgh Steelers announced Monday that their home stadium will no longer be called Heinz Field. The team reportedly couldn’t reach a new deal with Heinz, the sauce and condiment company famous for its signature ketchup and the iconic bottles that contain it. Andrew Fillipponi of Pittsburgh radio station 97.3 The Fan first reported that the Steelers already had a new deal in place, and it’s with a non-ketchup company… Source link

Frank Schwab and the folks over at Yahoo! are writing up offseason power rankings and in-depth previews of each NFL team. Today was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ day with the site ranking them 22nd overall in the league, a year removed from a 9-7-1 season that saw a quick playoff exit to the Kansas City Chiefs. Schwab’s preview of the team is largely just a recap of what the team has done and doesn’t break any new ground or offer any unique insight. But he was an overall fan of the… Source link

Things could have gone a lot worse for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Ben Roethlisberger’s final season. Roethlisberger was a shell of himself. The offense as a whole wasn’t good. The defense, despite having NFL defensive player of the year T.J. Watt, wasn’t great either. It was a Steelers team that had a very fortunate record in close games and caught a couple huge breaks in Week 18, which led to a playoff berth at 9-7-1. The Steelers got blasted in the playoffs by the Kansas City Chiefs, but… Source link

Antonio Brown burned every bridge in sight during his exit from the Pittsburgh Steelers, but could a return to the team be feasible for one of the NFL’s most mercurial players? Mike Tomlin is not holding his breath. The Pittsburgh Steelers discussed his former wide receiver and much more during an appearance on The Pivot Podcast. When asked about the possibility of Brown coming back to Pittsburgh, Tomlin was blunt: “Y’all know that ain’t happening.” Tomlin appeared to concede that Brown… Source link

Out of the 32 NFL teams Larry Ogunjobi could have possibly signed with, this is probably the last one anybody would guess. The former Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday, the team announced on Tuesday. Financial terms were not disclosed. Why would this be a surprise? Well, you may remember a certain game in the 2019 season that ended with Browns defensive end Myles Garrett infamously bashing Steelers… Source link

Chase Claypool believes in himself. So much so, in fact, that the Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver says he’s a “top-three receiver” in the league. Claypool will have to prove that this fall, as his numbers from his first two seasons in the league don’t back that up. Claypool had 860 receiving yards and two touchdowns with 59 receptions last season, his second in the league. He had one 100-yard game last season, and failed to bring in more than 41 receiving yards in the Steelers’ final… Source link
