Updated list of Steelers draft prospect visits

The Steelers have used up 20 of their allotted 30 pre-draft visits with NFL prospects. Visits from local players (such as those from Pitt) do not count against the team’s total of 30, which is why a large number of players from Pitt have visited the team prior to the draft.  Here is the complete […]

2012 Steelers Mock Draft Rundown

Every year, we put together a pretty comprehensive list of Steelers picks in mock drafts around the web. We’re admittedly not draft experts and don’t claim to know the inside scoop on hundreds of college players. Fortunately, there are plenty of people who do and they can be found below in our list of 2012 […]

Peyton Hillis, Kellen Davis to visit Steelers

Rumors flying everywhere. Looks like Hillis might head to Kansas City, but he’s be awesome in Pittsburgh assuming he stays healthy, especially with Mendenhall’s injury. League source says TE Kellen Davis will visit the Cowboys, Steelers, and Bengals. — ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) March 13, 2012

I leave the field and Steelers with […]

Hines Ward Released

Don’t even know what to say right now. Hines Ward was the ultimate Steeler. He leads the franchise in everything football-catching related by a lot. Can’t say we didn’t see it coming. We’ll have a better look back on Hines’ career in the coming days. 

Exclusive Video: Ben Ben meets Todd Haley in the Steelers cafeteria

Much has been made in the last few weeks about the relationship between Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger and new offensive coordinator Todd Haley.

Report: Steelers plan to release Hines Ward

The NFL Network is reporting that the Steelers plan to cut longtime WR Hines Ward. It is definitely not unexpected news, but considering he is the greatest wide receiver in franchise history it is still strange and sad.  Ward’s release doesn’t mean he won’t be back with the Steelers in 2012. It is more to […]

Steelers Release Two Players

The Steelers have cut veteran special teamers Bryant McFadden and Arnaz Battle. McFadden was making about $2.5 million, Battle about $1 million. Honestly, it was easy to forget McFadden was still on the team this past year. Battle was a replaceable special teamer. These aren’t blockbuster moves, but they’re the official start of roster changes […]

Why Did Art Rooney Hire Todd Haley?

Notice that the title of this article is not “Why did Mike Tomlin hire Todd Haley.” Tomlin didn’t. If this were Tomlin’s decision, Bruce Arians would still be in town. No, this decision appears to have been made by Art Rooney II. Rooney has stated multiple times that he wants the Steelers to run the […]

What Will the 2012 Steelers Look Like?

REFRESHING DISCLAIMER: This post is not about offensive coordinators. First thing’s first: AHAHAHA NEW ENGLAND SUCKS YOU WILL NEVER WIN A SUPERBOWL WITHOUT ADAM VINATIERI, TOM BRADY IS NOT CLUTCH. On to business: This offseason is expected to be one full of tough personnel decisions for the front office to make. Longtime stars are getting […]

This landed in our inbox a few days ago. Not really big into covering a Super Bowl between two teams that aren’t the Steelers, but the historical data in this is very awesome to look at.  Really fun looking back at all of the Steelers’ Super Bowl appearances. Kudos to James for passing it along! […]
