Link to story Steelers | Chris Boswell makes extension official Wed May 13, 01:30 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers K Chris Boswell signed his four-year contract extension with the team on Wednesday, May 13, worth $28 million.
| Footballguys view: As previously reported here, the annual average of Boswell's new deal -- $6.22 million -- ranks fourth among league kickers. Brandon Aubrey of the Dallas Cowboys, who signed a four-year, $28 million deal last month, has the highest annual average. Boswell ranks fifth in NFL history in field goal accuracy at 87.7 percent. He is the only kicker with more than 10 career playoff attempts to convert every one, going 19 for 19. Boswell's Footballguys projection -- PK11 -- puts him in the starting tier. |

Steelers | Drew Allar being revamped Wed May 13, 10:43 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers third-round pick QB Drew Allar is having everything he has learned 'uninstalled,' and the Steelers are teaching him new mechanics and footwork. Head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterbacks coach Tom Arth are working on widening Allar's base and keeping him off of his toes, which they believe will give him more time to process information for quicker decisions.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Brooke Pryor notes, at 6-5 with a wide arm span and nearly 10-inch hands, Allar possesses the raw traits McCarthy looks for in his West Coast-style quarterbacks. And as a three-year starter at Penn State with 61 career touchdowns and 7,402 career passing yards, Allar has the pedigree to be a top-tier signal-caller. Still, Allar's mechanics need work to make him a more consistent player. The real question here, of course, is whether Aaron Rodgers will show up and be the starter this year, or if the Steelers need to work on Allar and their other options. |

Link to story Steelers | Chris Boswell signs extension Mon May 11, 01:03 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers PK Chris Boswell agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension with the Steelers Monday, May 11, worth $28 million.
| Footballguys view: Boswell, 35, was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent after the 2026 season. He was in the final year of a four-year, $20 million deal. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the annual average of his new deal -- $6.22 million -- ranks fourth among league kickers. Brandon Aubrey of the Dallas Cowboys, who signed a four-year, $28 million deal last month, has the highest annual average. Boswell ranks fifth in NFL history in field goal accuracy at 87.7 percent. He is the only kicker with more than 10 career playoff attempts to convert every one, going 19 for 19. |

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed WR Kaden Wetjen, DE Gabriel Rubio, and S Robert Spears-Jennings to their rookie contracts. Terms of the deals were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Wetjen is listed at wide receiver, but he was drafted for his potential contributions as a return specialist. The Steelers will attempt to develop him as a wide receiver and manufactured touch player, but he only has value in return yardage leagues. |
Steelers | Two tight ends officially signed Fri May 8, 04:33 PM

Link to story Steelers | Aaron Rodgers, Steelers to talk shop Thu May 7, 10:22 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) is meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers Friday, May 8, and the two sides are expected to agree to a contract.
| Footballguys view: The Rodgers 2026 saga may finally be over before the weekend! The Steelers have been waiting this entire offseason for Rodgers to make a decision, and now things are coming to a head. The $15 million UFA tender is considered to be strictly a placeholder and not a ballpark of a contract. He's no longer the player he used to be, but Rodgers could easily post similar numbers to what he did last year in Pittsburgh. |

Link to story Steelers | Patience wearing thin with Aaron Rodgers? Tue May 5, 12:59 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers' (Steelers) decision to play in 2026 could have the patience of the Pittsburgh Steelers wearing thin, in the opinion of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac on Monday, May 4.
| Footballguys view: According to Dulac, the Steelers had some measure of expectation that Rodgers might return by the start of the NFL combine at the end of February. Then, based on their conversations with him, they had a realistic expectation that a decision would come by the start of the NFL Draft. Neither came to pass. If Rodgers hasn't given them a decision by the start of organized team activities on May 18 -- their latest deadline -- their patience will turn into frustration, and, Dulac suggests, something more. Stay tuned. |

Link to story Steelers | Drew Allar needs footwork refined Thu Apr 30, 11:19 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers third-round pick QB Drew Allar will need to have his footwork refined by head coach Mike McCarthy, according to sources. 'He's really got a good feel for what that takes,' a team source said of McCarthy's touch in this area.
| Footballguys view: Allar is a skilled quarterback who has obvious flaws to his game. Last year, a broken left ankle prematurely ended his final season at Penn State. He can avoid sacks and pressure with his legs, but Allar needs to be more mechanically sound when throwing on the run. Allar will benefit from better footwork when asked to be a pocket passer as well. He'll compete with Will Howard to establish a pecking order with the Steelers...until Aaron Rodgers shows up and rejoins the team. |
Steelers | Dean Lowry not joining Steelers Wed Apr 29, 02:40 PM

Link to story Steelers | Aaron Rodgers tagged with rare tender Tue Apr 28, 10:46 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) received a right-of-first-refusal tender Tuesday, April 28, which means he can accept a 10% raise off last year's salary, which would pay him about $15 million this season. It also means the Steelers can match any offer he signs with another team, and forbidding him the ability to sign with another team once training camp begins.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers, who spent the 2025 season with the Steelers after a prolonged offseason courtship, has been weighing his options for the upcoming season over the past three months. GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy indicated last week that there isn't a timeline or a deadline to hear from the 42-year-old quarterback. The Steelers selected QB Drew Allar in the third round of the NFL draft, but McCarthy said the move was unrelated to Rodgers' decision. But today's move is directly related. Essentially, Rodgers is locked in with the Steelers for when he decides if he wants to play. |

Link to story Steelers | Former coach thinks Aaron Rodgers returns Mon Apr 27, 09:14 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) returning to the Pittsburgh Steelers is the most-likely scenario, according to former head coach Mike Tomlin.
| Footballguys view: If Rodgers plays, it will presumably be for the Steelers. For now, there's been no public announcement about his future. While recent reporting suggested Rodgers would have a decision before last week's NFL Draft, that obviously wasn't the case -- at least not one for public consumption. That said, believing the Steelers have a better understanding of the veteran QB's plan than they're letting on isn't a reach. Meanwhile, the Steelers made it clear that the decision to use a third-round pick on former Penn State quarterback Drew Allar has no bearing on Rodgers. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Steelers | Chamon Metayer lands in Pittsburgh Mon Apr 27, 12:11 AM
Arizona State TE Chamon Metayer signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent.
| Footballguys view: The 6-4, 255-pound Metayer has a good frame and displays natural movement skills at his size. But as the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Draft Guide suggests, he's more of a receiver than a tight end and will need to refine his route-running and run-blocking to earn playing time. |

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren posted a career-high 958 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns in 2025, and he added 40 receptions for 333 yards and two scores. Still, Pittsburgh ranked just 26th in the NFL in rushing, and it now has a new head coach in Mike McCarthy. In addition, RB Rico Dowdle was brought it by the organization, so Warren will have stiff competition. 'Moving forward, whatever the coaches have planned, I know we're ready to execute it,' Warren said.
