Pittsburgh Steelers (DEF - PIT)

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 […]

‘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.

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.
