I know there have been no losing seasons and even the occasional division championship, but 3 playoff wins in 14 years - most of it with Big Ben in his prime - is egregiously bad.

    On the Wednesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to persisting rumors that the team may be interested in trading for TE Jonnu Smith. Does Smith really fit on a team that already has Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington? How would OC Arthur Smith deploy a trio of talented TEs? Would it help compensate for the lack of a clear No. 2 receiver behind DK Metcalf?

    Free agent receiver Gabe Davis, who was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars last month, is scheduled to visit with the Steelers on Thursday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Davis, a six-year veteran, could sign for the league minimum salary because the Jaguars are paying him more than $11 million this year after cutting him one year after signing him to a three-year, $39 million contract.

Steelers still had 9 prime-time games from 2022-23 when noted big names Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett were at the controls so I’m gonna have to go ahead and assume their brand is QB-proof

@BrianBatko @NFL Agreed. If Rodgers doesn’t sign then nobody is going to want to watch the Steelers in prime time.

Steelers schedule release day. @NFL my demands: • Bears in September • Patriots in October • Chargers in December • no holiday games • take it easy on the prime time
