Will Howard's 2025 usage has been a hot topic of debate since the Steelers drafted him — but an insider recently shot down any hope for the rookie QB to start this upcoming season. With Aaron Rodgers inadvertently holding the Steelers' QB room hostage with his indecisiveness, Pittsburgh has very few options at signal caller — Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson, and Howard.

Out with the old, in with the new — it didn’t take the Steelers long to replace George Pickens' No. 14 in Pittsburgh. It was reported that Arizona WR Montana Lemonious-Craig, who signed with the Steelers on Day 1 of OTAs, was spotted wearing Pickens' old number on Tuesday. Lemonious-Craig attended the Steelers rookie minicamp a few weeks ago and clearly made the right impression, as Pittsburgh wasted little time bringing him onto the 90-man roster.

Unsurprisingly, Aaron Rodgers didn't sign with the Steelers by OTAs — and Fox Sports' Joy Taylor took exception to it. On Tuesday’s episode of FS1’s Speak, Taylor blasted Rodgers for skipping OTAs — and the Steelers for allowing this situation to play out the way it has:"Why? This is the Pittsburgh Steelers — they have six Lombardis. They're coached by a first-ballot Hall of Famer — Mike Tomlin, who's never had a losing season.

Yes, Mason Rudolph hears the Aaron Rodgers noise in Pittsburgh — he just doesn’t care. At Steelers OTAs on Tuesday, Rudolph was asked his opinion on the constant Rodgers speculation barrage surrounding the Steel City — and this was his response:"Well, that's nothing new to me. There's been constant noise — that is the nature of the NFL. I've been used to that for a long time now.

Roman Wilson won't let his disappointing rookie season define him — as he recently explained what's changed in one year’s time. To say Wilson was used sparingly in 2024 would be an overstatement, as the wideout didn't catch a single pass on offense — despite the Steelers badly needing receiver production. It wasn't a lack of skill, however, as Wilson struggled to stay healthy his rookie year — an aspect of his game he expects to be much different in 2025.

It’s safe to say Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw has had enough of the Aaron Rodgers waiting game — as the four-time Super Bowl champion made his true feelings on the situation crystal clear. Bradshaw, while appearing on Morning Mayhem on 103.7 The Buzz, blasted the Steelers-Rodgers talks — while also claiming the four-time MVP needs to stay away from Pittsburgh:“That’s a joke. That is just to me a joke. What are you gonna — bring him in for one year? Are you kidding me?

T.J. Watt was not in attendance for Day 1 of Steelers OTAs — leaving OLBs Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig to lead to charge in practice drills, as the former DPOY seeks a potential record-breaking extension with Pittsburgh. It's worth noting that OTAs are voluntary — but rumors suggest Watt could replicate his infamous 2021 'hold-in,' when he skipped team practices in a move that ultimately earned him a $112 million deal.

Trade buzz continues to grow amid Kirk Cousins' recent absence from Falcons OTAs — and the Steelers were a heavily rumored landing spot for the veteran QB. Cousins signed with the Falcons last year in free agency on a four-year, $180 million deal but was benched in favor of then-rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. Atlanta has made it clear that Cousins could remain in a backup role — but a trade seems like the far more ideal scenario for both sides.

The Steelers added to their wide receiver room ahead of OTAs on Tuesday — signing WR Montana Lemonious-Craig to their 90-man roster. His presence on offense is a welcome one, as the Steelers were in desperate need of additional wide receivers — a problem the 6'2", 194-pound wideout can help alleviate. After spending three seasons with the Colorado Buffaloes (2020–2022), Lemonious-Craig transferred to the University of Arizona (2023–2024), where he finished out his collegiate career.
