• Steelers contracts: What no extension for James Daniels could mean for Mason McCormick

  Erin Bormett / Argus Leader via Imagn Content Services, LLC Could the Steelers’ new offensive lineman be the future at RG? In a bit of a surprising move, earlier this week Alan Saunders of Steelers Now reported that Pittsburgh will not be extending the contract of right guard James Daniels.
  The Steelers inked Daniels to a three-year, $64-million-dollar contract in 2022, and he quickly became one of their stalwarts up front. So why not extend a player who’s been so reliable?Age certai

  Jamie Sabau-USA TODAY Sports Can Fields rejuvenate his career in the Steel City? I think it’s fair to say that new Pittsburgh QB Justin Fields is one of the most polarizing players the Steelers have rostered in quite some time. An NFL MVP voter recently said it is almost impossible for Fields to turn his career around given how poorly he played his first three seasons. And an ex-coach on his former team the Chicago Bears was critical of Fields, saying that particular parts of his game were

  Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports What do the Steelers have in the former Ram and Falcon? As the Steelers roll into summer with a roster of wide receivers that, aside from George Pickens, lacks any recent NFL success, it’s time to take a look at what they have in four-year veteran Van Jefferson.
