Getty Images The Steelers developed Matt Feiler for threeyears, and he wound up with a starting job last year. So it makes sense they wanted to keep him. Per the league’s transaction wire, the Steelers re-signed the offensive lineman. Feiler started nine of the last 10 games at right tackle...

Getty Images More than once this week Mike Tomlin was asked if he felt any responsibility for not making things work with Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown. Steelers cornerback Joe Haden came to his coach’s defense Thursday, vouching for Tomlin’s leadership. “He has complete control of the...

Getty Images Former Steelers Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell have each made their comments about their former teammate Ben Roethlisberger. And while throwing teammates under the bus on his radio show might not be the way every quarterback chooses to motivate, Roethlisberger has plenty of...

Getty Images Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has coined a phrase that he has publicly used at least twice regarding players who no longer wanted to play in Pittsburgh. “We can’t do this with hostages, man. We need volunteers,” Tomlin said in the most recent iteration of a saying he used in early...

Getty Images At a time when some former Steelers have questioned the leadership of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, one current Steeler is showering Roethlisberger with over-the-top praise. Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster took to social media, posted a picture of himself hugging Big...

Getty Images Mike Tomlin says letting Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell leave for two other teams is just part of the business of football. Asked if there’s any disappointment that the Steelers couldn’t make it work with two great players, Tomlin answered, “There is, but that’s life and that’s...

Getty Images Antonio Brown is great at catching passes. His subtweet game is pretty strong as well. Earlier today, Brown put up a message on Twitter which wasn’t very hard to decipher. While he didn’t mention anybody by name, it’s fairly obvious (though technically plausibly deniable) that...

Getty Images The last time Antonio Brown posted a behind-the-scenes recording, it was from the Steelers’ locker room and Mike Tomlin was not amused. Now Brown had done it again, and given fans an interesting look into his conversations with agent Drew Rosenhaus before he was traded to the...

Getty Images The expansion of replay review to include pass interference (offensive and defensive) means that replay review won’t expand to include roughing the passer and illegal contact with a defenseless receiver, at least for now. As explained by Steelers owner Art Rooney II, the decision...

Getty Images Bills General Manager Brandon Beane says his team was never near a deal to bring in Antonio Brown, despite reports to the contrary. Beane said on PFT Live that although he did talk to the Steelers about what kind of compensation they would want in a trade, the Bills and Brown’s...

Getty Images There was word last week that the Steelers were set to release safety Morgan Burnett, but it was quickly followed by another report that the team planned to see if they could trade him before simply dropping him from the roster. Steelers General Manager Kevin Colbert confirmed...

Getty Images Jets coach Adam Gase can hardly contain himself. He keeps watching film of Le'Veon Bell and keeps coming up with new ideas of how to use him. “I love his variety,” Gase said, via Kim Jones of NFL Media. “I love that he could do everything. And I think the more film I watch since...

Getty Images The Steelers have lost two of their best players this month, arguably due to their own mismanagement of the relationships with both players. To little surprise, then, owner Art Rooney II declined to address Antonio Brown or Le'Veon Bell in a Friday conference call with reporters...

Getty Images Steelers owner Art Rooney II covered a lot of ground on a Friday conference call with reporters. Like many old-guard owners, he seems to be reluctant to embrace change on issues of potential tweaks to the rules. In one very important area, however, Rooney seems to be on board...

Getty Images Steelers General Manager Kevin Colbert may now rue the day he gave Antonio Brown a big contract two years ago. But he once wanted to save so much salary cap space for Brown that he openly told other players they couldn’t get the contracts they wanted because they weren’t as good as...

Getty Images Safeties have been getting paid this offseason, and one of the ones who signed a big contract last season is going to have another chance. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Steelers have informed safety Morgan Burnett that they’ll release him by the end of the month...
