Pittsburgh Steelers beat reporter for PennLive | PFWA Member | Establish the Run
First day of Steelers camp quick hits:

- Jalen Ramsey at safety, nickel, and outside CB at different points

- Roman Wilson — first stringer

- Great first day for Derrick Harmon

- Schematic changes coming to Steelers defense (disguised, new blitz looks)

In 2023, Calvin Anderson nearly died from a battle with malaria. When he returned to the field, he suffered a heart contusion on a routine play.

How Anderson turned that experience and 'dark times' into his motivation to change lives.

How a near-death experience spurred Steelers lineman to change lives
At one point, Calvin Anderson never knew it he would play football again. Now, he is back on the field and looking to make a difference in Pittsburgh off the field.

2019 DEN will be used as evidence to the contrary, but a few things:

1. DEN started those talks. Wanted to move back. Depressed the price.

2. It wasn’t for a QB. It’s almost always more expensive to move up for a QB.

3. LOT of QB needy teams / competitor to beat…..
I’m not sure if people realize this yet but if the Steelers move up in any significant way in next year’s draft like many expect they will be trading their 2027 1st in all likelihood.

A few quick-hit takeaways from camp in shorts!

- Yahya Black and Derrick Harmon are big, big guys

- Black has some real power behind his punches

- UDFA Roc Taylor -- that's a big WR. X-only based on frame IMO

- Kaleb Johnson's movement is smooth. Cuts and such look so easy

My top takeaway from the owners meetings discussions with Mike Tomlin is that the it sounds like Steelers feel pretty good about their chances to land Aaron Rodgers.

- What Cam Heyward really said on Aaron Rodgers
- Does he reflect how team really sees situation?
- Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart, 2025 Draft QBs
- DBs to communicate better?

Steelers' Cam Heyward Reflects Team's Stance on Aaron Rodgers? | Shedeur Sanders and 2025 QB Class
The Pittsburgh Steelers' Cam Heyward took to his 'Not Just Football' podcast and addressed the Aaron Rodgers situation. Did he reflect how the organization sees the situation? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss what Heyward actually said, and what the Steelers should be doing with the tea

If the Steelers make an impact IDL and CB signing (we’ll see about Slay, if that happens, I have my concerns), I can see this flipping quickly.

But right now? Not sure. 2025 has massive ‘bridge year’ energy from a team with an aging defensive core.
So far, I’m quite confused by much of the Steelers offseason. It feels somewhat directionless.

Loading up on comp picks for 2026 is the optimistic take on ‘they have a plan’.

Right now, a lot of questions though

Another move for the Steelers.

They’ve released Larry Ogunjobi, sources confirm

Cam Heyward’s $14.5 million per year is an absolute steal atm for the Steelers.

Age is the biggest factor with that so I get it, but with the way he played last year…yeah.
Holy smokes. Williams is a good player but $26M a year is insane.

Third highest paid DT in the NFL
Splash: The Patriots are taking the biggest defender off the market, as Eagles DT Milton Williams lands in New England, per me and Mike Garafolo.

Williams gets a $26M per year.

DJ Reed and DJ Reader on the same team is some good stuff.

Only thing that will top it is if Maryland DT Jordan Phillips goes to Buffalo to join the other Jordan Phillips in the NFL Draft.

Some cornerbacks coming off the market early for the Steelers.

Carlton Davis and Paulson Adebo heading elsewhere.

Luckily for them, that’s not even the tip of the iceberg in this class.

Dan Moore is a great dude. Huge deal for him. Even with how active the Steelers might be in FA this year, that could net them a compensatory pick.
The Titans are loading up on the offensive line, agreeing to terms with Steelers LT Dan Moore on a 4-year, $82M deal with $50M guaranteed and $30M in Year 1, sources say.

The deal done by Jeff Nalley of CAA is the biggest for a tackle thus far.
March 10, 2025 at 5:06 PM
LOL. That’s insane.
Javon Kinlaw is making more than Cam Heyward

Jaylen Warren is back for the Steelers. Likely to be their lead back. And he deserves it. Very solid player who the team found as a UDFA.
Pelissero: Jaylen Warren to receive a 2nd-round RFA tender from the Steelers.
