Do Steelers Have a Defense Scheme Fix?
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the Steelers' defensive coverage options in the secondary and how a change in the type of zone defense they call could be beneficial. The Steelers have always been a team that primarily runs Cover 3, prioritizing stopping the run over softer zone coverages like Cover 2. But there is another option that is becoming more popular around the NFL that could be a fit for the Steelers, and that's Cover 4 or quarters.

Top 2026 NFL Draft Quarterbacks
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's trying to rank the quarterbacks in the 2026 NFL Draft class. Which, of course, is a fool's errand. The NFL teams that will spend millions of dollars between now and next April attempting to do that have a 100% chance of getting it wrong. So who cares what anyone thinks now? Arch Manning is probably the prospect in the class with the highest upside, but it's a real question as to whether he'll even come out. You can make good arguments for an against the likes of LaNorris Sellers, Drew Allar, Cade Klubnik, Fernando Mendoza, Garrett Nussmeier and Nico Iamaleava, and there are plenty more that could play their way into that conversation. The real question isn't who's best, it's who will be available when the Steelers are on the clock -- or how far up they'll have to go to get a franchise quarterback. #steelers #herewego #nfl CONNECT WITH STEELERS NOW: Steelers Now: SN on Twitter: SN on FB: SN on Insta:

Insider Provides Update on T.J. Watt's Contract Dispute with Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro outside linebacker T.J. Watt is absent from mandatory minicamp as he's looking for a new contract. He did not attend the two-week voluntary OTAs at all and will now be subject to $104,768 in fines. Watt has not been around the team since cryptically throwing up the deuces on Instagram a few months ago. Despite perception that Watt is not happy with the Steelers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network does not believe there's bad blood between the two sides. Advertisement 'I don't feel that this one is contentious,' Garafolo said on The Insiders. 'If a player misses mandatory minicamp over the next couple days, you don't have to fine a player. We'll see what the Steelers wind up doing on this one. 'I know that they feel really good about the talks that they've had and the offers that they've made… Mike Tomlin has the belief that T.J. Watt is gonna be just fine working away from the facility, so they're not stressing about that part of it. 'If there was a pressure point right now, and the start of training camp seems like it's a pressure point, I feel like this thing would get done. And it will get done at some point,' Garafolo concluded. Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt during a game against the New York Jets on Oct. 21, 2024. — Ed Thompson / Steelers Now Adam Schefter of ESPN also said on The Pat McAfee Show that the Steelers are not worried about Watt's absence from mandatory minicamp. Advertisement 'I think the Steelers feel comfortable that they'll be able to work out something with T.J. Watt. … He's making a statement by staying away from mandatory minicamp,' Schefter said. The former NFL Defensive Player of the Year's current deal is set to expire at the end of the 2025 season and is likely looking for one that meets or beats the $40 million per year that the Cleveland Browns gave Myles Garrett earlier this offseason. Watt is deserving of a new deal as the Steelers' best player and heartbeat of the team. The 30-year-old is coming off the least-productive full season of his NFL career but still proved to have plenty of good football left in him while recording 11.5 sacks and a league-leading six forced fumbles. Advertisement Mike Tomlin doesn't seem to think Watt's time in Pittsburgh is even close to coming to an end. 'No,' Tomlin stated when asked if there's concern about Watt's future with the team. Watt's current deal is a four-year, $112 million contract. He is set to earn $21.05 million in salary in 2025, none of which is guaranteed. 'Certainly, we'd like him to be here, but certainly not surprised about where we are,' Tomlin said. 'We've expressed a desire to get the business done. He has as well, and so, we'll continue to work. We've been here before.' Aaron Becker contributed reporting for this story. This article originally appeared on Steelers Now: Insider Provides Update on T.J.
