The Pittsburgh Steelers enter the 2025 NFL preseason looking to build on last season's strong 10–7 record in 2024, finishing second in the AFC North, but falling 28–14 to the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card round. As Pittsburgh aims to push deeper into the postseason in 2025, here's a complete look at the Steelers' 2025 preseason schedule, including dates, times and TV channels.
Pittsburgh Steelers 2025 Preseason Schedule
Check out the team's preseason schedule below:
Will the Steelers make the playoffs with Aaron Rodgers? | First Things First
Cam Heyward said that Aaron Rodgers has 'bought in' with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes ask if the Steelers will make the playoffs.
How will the Steelers do this season?
Ralph Vacchiano predicts that the Steelers will finish the year at 9-8. Here's Vacchiano:
"First, how great is it that the NFL put the Steelers in New York against the Jets in Week 1? It's like the league is baiting Aaron Rodgers to push off retirement to take out his frustrations on his old team. The Steelers better hope he takes the bait, because if he stays in the darkness, their season picture gets a lot dimmer. It's bad enough that they're in the AFC's toughest division, but they also have to play the four teams from the powerful NFC North. And they lose a home game to play the Vikings in Dublin, Ireland. There are still a lot of softer spots on the schedule — games at New England and home against the Colts and Dolphins. Plus, they can always lean on their home-and-home against the Browns. But if Mason Rudolph is their quarterback all season, nothing will seem "soft" to them at all."

2025 NFL, CFB, MLB Best Bets, Predictions By Chris 'The Bear' Fallica
National Football League 2025 NFL, CFB, MLB Best Bets, Predictions By Chris 'The Bear' Fallica Published Aug. 4, 2025 10:21 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link "Bear Bets" are real wagers that Chris "The Bear" Fallica is actually making. There's something incredibly special about fall sports. Between college football, NFL and MLB postseason, there is fun to be had for all — particularly when it comes to laying a few wagers. That's where I come in. One of the wagers below features Kyle Shanahan, and it's what I believe to be a really solid bet. Let's take a look at where I'm sprinkling my cash this week. Penn State to make the CFP This is my favorite bet in college football this season. No team in the sport is more predictable or trustworthy than Penn State, which usually hammers the teams it is supposed to, and loses to top-five, top-10-type teams. This puts the Nittany Lions at a 10-2 floor, as they have both Oregon and Ohio State on the slate. The Oregon game is at State College, so let's say PSU wins that game. Maybe the game at Iowa is tricky? Potentially lose at Ohio State? That's it. Even the detractors of Drew Allar have to think Penn State is returning to the College Football Playoff behind a powerful running game and elite defense, even without Abdul Carter. Some people do not like laying a price like this, but I have no issue doing so. A 10-2 record and a CFP berth for Penn State — book it. PICK: Penn State (-290) to make the CFP Penn State HC James Franklin on what makes Drew Allar special Kyle Shanahan to win Coach of the Year Just about everything that could go wrong for the 49ers last year did. Injuries to Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams and others. Blown late leads. It was just one of those years in the Bay after another agonizing Super Bowl loss. There isn't a ton of depth here, but injury luck doesn't tend to repeat itself in consecutive years, meaning expect the Niners to be healthier this season. The schedule is about as easy as could be coming off a 6-11 season, and, with a win total of 10.5, the Niners are supposed to be good. ADVERTISEMENT Robert Saleh returns to San Francisco to coach a defense that has played as if it missed his leadership over the last couple of seasons. Maybe Shanahan doesn't fit the mold of a young head coach or a head coach from a team that's going to surprise, but there's a chance the Niners could post something like 12-5 and win the division, given that schedule, especially if the concerns over Rams QB Matthew Stafford are realized. I just don't get how guys like Aaron Glenn are shorter-priced in this market, given how the Jets are going to win like six games. PICK: Kyle Shanahan (20-1) to win Coach of the Year Clayton McCullough to win NL Manager of the Year Okay, by now we've all made the joke, "Can you name the Marlins manager?" But Clayton McCullough and the Marlins might be getting the last laugh. The former Dodgers first-base coach has Miami on the cusp of a .500 record after sweeping the Yankees. While it might be a little too much to ask him to reach the playoffs given the strength of the current NL wild cards, it's not unreasonable to think he's in the mix for NL Manager of the Year consideration. This has been a lineup and rotation in flux all season and if Miami actually got some decent pitching from Sandy Alcántara in the first half of the season, it might actually have a legit chance at a wild card. Brewers manager Pat Murphy is a big favorite here, and I guess he should be. But in terms of doing more with less, McCullough certainly deserves consideration if the Marlins finish with a winning record. Obviously, I'm late to the party here in terms of the number, but I'll jump in now in case they continue this hot streak. PICK: Clayton McCullough (23-1) to win NL Manager of the Year Chris "The Bear" Fallica has covered sports for nearly three decades. While college football has been his focus, he also enjoys the NFL, Soccer, Golf, Tennis, MLB, NHL and Horse Racing, with an "occasional" wager on such events. Chris recently won the inaugural Circa Football Invitational and finished in the Top 10 of the Golden Nugget Football Contest. He's a multiple-time qualifier for the NHC Handicapping Championship.

Jerry Jones' Handling of Micah Parsons Dispute Is 'Unethical,' Says Nick Wright
National Football League Jerry Jones' Handling of Micah Parsons Dispute Is 'Unethical,' Says Nick Wright Published Aug. 4, 2025 10:12 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Another day has passed, and Micah Parsons still doesn't have a new deal with the Dallas Cowboys. One day after Parsons' fiery trade request on Aug. 1 , owner Jerry Jones had a brazen response to growing concerns surrounding the situation, insisting the standoff with the All-Pro pass rusher is no different from past situations he has dealt with. "Don't lose any sleep over it," Jones said . "That's the one thing I would say to our fans." That led FOX Sports' Nick Wright to outwardly criticize Jones on Monday's edition of "First Things First." "The entire … press gathering was kind of surreal, even by Jerry's standards," he said. "The whole thing was bizarre, but what is very, very clear to me is two things. One of which is: Jerry feels like they (he and Parsons) had an agreement, and he wants to stick to it — and I think that that is an unethical way to do business. … My other big takeaway is this: Jerry wants to be the star of this negotiation. He made that very clear. … "I think ultimately it (a new deal) gets done. I don't think Micah gets traded. I think Jerry ends up caving, but I also think … even if it gets done, they damaged the relationship significantly." ADVERTISEMENT Parsons and the Cowboys began contract discussions in January. Some discourse arose in April when Jones mentioned at the NFL's annual league meeting that he was communicating directly with Parsons about a potential new deal, while Parsons let it be known that he wouldn't be doing any deal without his agent, David Mulugheta, involved. In June, Parsons said that he was "hanging in tight" and "hopeful" that he'd have a new deal done before the start of training camp on July 20. One day before the start of camp, Jones seemingly questioned Parsons' durability by mentioning he missed a handful of games because of a high ankle sprain last season — the first time the 26-year-old had dealt with an injury in his professional career — when asked by reporters for an update on the negotiations. While Parsons didn't directly respond to Jones' comment, he reshared a social media post from former NFL star J.J. Watt that read, in part, "Anytime you can publicly take a dig at your star quarterback and your star pass rusher simultaneously, right before the season begins, you just gotta take it." Parsons had reported to camp in Oxnard, California, but only observed from the sidelines and did not participate. [MORE: Micah Parsons Next Team Odds: Will Cowboys Trade Star DE?] Parsons made a formal trade request this month, calling out the Jones family for how they've handled contract negotiations and revealing that they haven't "had a single conversation" with his agent. "I no longer want to be here," Parsons wrote in a 1,000-plus-word statement . "I no longer want to be held to close-door negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization, our fans and my teammates. I no longer want narratives created and spread to the media about me." Parsons went on to say that he and Jones met in March to "talk about leadership" and that the conversation turned into a contract discussion. "Yes, I engaged in a back and forth [with] regards to what I wanted from my contract, but at no point did I believe this was supposed to be a formal negotiation," Parsons revealed. "I informed Mr. Jones afterward my agent would reach out thinking this would get things done. But when my agent reached out and spoke to (director of salary cap/player contracts) Adam Prasifka, he was told the deal was pretty much already done. My agent, of course, told him that wasn't the case and … again, the team decided to go silent." Jones added more fuel to the fire two days later, saying that former Cowboys star Dez Bryant — who publicly voiced his support for Parsons on social media — and Roc Nation Sports owner Jay-Z are the reason why he doesn't like to deal with agents in players' contract discussions. The 82-year-old told reporters that Jay-Z quit taking his calls after the two spent hours negotiating a new contract for Bryant in 2015, a claim that Roc Nation quickly refuted. A first-round draft pick in 2021, Parsons has at least 12.0 sacks in each of his four seasons in Dallas and has 52.5 for his career. He also had 12 tackles for loss in 13 games last season. Parsons is going into the fifth and final year of his rookie deal and could be franchise tagged in 2026 without an extension. He's set to make $24.007 million in 2025.

Steelers connected to former Aaron Rodgers teammate in trade with Packers
Steelers connected to former Aaron Rodgers teammate in trade with Packers originally appeared on The Sporting News The Pittsburgh Steelers have been connected to a trade with the Green Bay Packers involving a former teammate of Aaron Rodgers. Newsweek's Evan Massey lists the Steelers as a potential landing spot for Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs. Doubs could be the odd man out [in the Packers' wide receiver room]. In a contract year, Green Bay could choose to ship him off to a wide receiver-needy team for draft capital," Massey wrote. The Steelers could use another capable player in the wide receiver room, as the team lacks starting-caliber options outside of DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin, who primarily operates in the slot. Doubs is entering the final year of his deal in 2025, and the Packers receiver group is loaded with young talent, so the 25-year-old could become expendable. Despite playing in just 13 games last year, Doubs nearly posted a career year with 46 receptions for 601 yards and four touchdowns. In 2023, the Nevada product played all 17 games and snagged 59 catches for 674 yards and eight touchdowns. During his rookie campaign in 2022 with Rodgers, Doubs was able to post 425 yards and three touchdowns. The former fourth-round pick already has chemistry with the Steelers starting quarterback and shouldn't cost too much to acquire in a deal with Green Bay, making him a logical trade target. Signing Doubs to an extension also shouldn't be too expensive, even if he has a solid 2025 campaign. Pittsburgh needs to bolster the talent in the receiver room, and trading for Doubs is a realistic and savvy answer. The Steelers will kick off the preseason at EverBank Stadium versus the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday. We'll see how the receivers perform in that game, which should signal whether Pittsburgh needs to make a move or stay put with what they have. MORE PITTSBURGH STEELERS NEWS Stephen A.
