Steelers | Dean Lowry not joining Steelers Wed Apr 29, 02:40 PM
Updating a previous report, free-agent DE Dean Lowry (Steelers) had decided not to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers at this point because he wants to get into game shape before signing with a team. He has been medically cleared to play again.

Undrafted free-agent P Gabe Nwosu (Penn State) has been invited to the Pittsburgh Steelers' rookie minicamp, according to a source on Tuesday, April 28.

Link to storyFree-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 storyFree-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. |

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. |
