Steelers Standard (Pittsburgh Steelers)

Aaron Rodgers' talent is unquestionable, but what tangible impact could he have on the success of the offense and as a result, how far can he take the Steelers into the postseason.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aaron Rodgers is going to be the leader of the offense, but DK Metcalf has the potential to be the biggest difference maker on the new-look offense this season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a lot to get excited about when training camp kicks off in just one week from today. Another rage bait list was released ranking the top defensive units since 2000 and somehow someway the 2008 Steelers were completely left off the list.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At nearly long last, the 2025 offseason is about to come to an end when the Steelers report to St. Vincent College next week for Training Camp.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Even though there is significant star power and strong depth pieces at every position on defense, there are still some concerns if something goes wrong for certain players. Plus, the TJ Watt contract negotiations loom large with Training Camp coming up soon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The end of the offseason also marks the end of list season, but some NFL experts out there left some of their hottest takes and biggest rage baits for this week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Everyone is reacting to yesterday's blockbuster trade involving the Steelers trading away Minkah Fitzpatrick to Miami in return for Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Minkah Fitzpatrick has been the Steelers top safety ever since he joined the team in 2019. Jalen Ramsey has been an All-Pro caliber starting cornerback so we could see a lot of three-corner packages with Joey Porter Jr and Darius SlaySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Steelers are now better on offense with the addition of Jonnu Smith, and it's arguable they're better on defense with the swap of Minkah Fitzpatrick for Jalen Ramsey. With improvements on both sides of the football, where do the Steelers rank in the AFC North and the rest of the conference.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Even though the Steelers don't have a standout WR2, Aaron Rodgers can elevate the play of guys like Calvin Austin, Robert Woods, and Pat Freiermuth. Jaylen Warren and rookie Kaleb Johnson can be a better dual running back tandem than last year's.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are a lot of what ifs for the o-line, but in 2025 it has the potential to have its best season since the Pouncey era. ESPN's Aaron Schatz and Seth Walder set out to create a 53-man roster to best represent the first 25 years of this century.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since ESPN did such a poor job picking a league wide all quarter century team, Tom and Jacob take it upon themselves to decide the roster for the Steelers all quarter century team.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Steelers chose to extend Safety DeShon Elliott to retain a key contributor in the secondary. Which Steeler who is up for a new contract could get their new deal done next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the defensive line to the outside and inside linebackers, every starter and most of the backups have the capability of being major contributors to the Steelers defensive front.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Minkah, JPJ, Darius Slay, and DeShon Elliott with Beanie Bishop as the fifth man might have the biggest question mark when realizing their full potential.

Ben Roethlisberger is arguably the best Steeler of the 21st century, and he was followed up by Russell Wilson for only one season, and now Aaron Rodgers comes to town. How do all three legendary QBs line up against each other.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aaron Rodgers not only officially signed with Pittsburgh, but he has been an active member at mandatory minicamp, and it already seems like his impact is being made.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TJ Watt did not report to mandatory minicamp but it shouldn't cause too much of a worry when considering his next contract. With Aaron Rodgers now officially on the team, it's time to revise the Steelers win/loss predictions for the 2025 season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joey Porter Jr is coming off something of a sophomore slump and Darius Slay is getting up there with age. Both starters need to prove they can handle going up against elite passing offenses this year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Unfortunately, Donald Parham is going to miss all this upcoming season, so should that make it a no-brainer to sign Jonnu Smith. Minkah Fitzpatrick has had two back-to-back seasons of lackluster play, and it is of the highest importance he returns to first team all pro quality.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If Aaron Rodgers ends up not playing for the Steelers in 2025, would you be okay with the team going out there with the guys currently on the roster.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mason Rudolph rescued the team at the end of 2023, and despite being a sixth-round pick Will Howard seems to have a lot of fans already. Could the two of them be enough for the Steelers to actually be competitive in 2025, and would it even be worth it to strive for the playoffs this year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reports of TE Jonnu Smith and WR Gabe Davis coming to Pittsburgh are noticeable but how much help would those two provide given the hole of a true WR2 still missing on the roster.

Is it a big deal, little deal, or no deal that both Aaron Rodgers (granted he's not a member of the team yet) and TJ Watt are not at Steelers OTAs this week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Steelers have four guys on the O-Line entering either their second or third season plus veteran Isaac Seumalo, so does this group have the potential to be the best the Steelers have had since the peak of the Pouncey/DeCasetro era.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Steelers have plenty of questions marks at the quarterback position, but the same can be said for the Browns, Giants, and Titans.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This offseason the 49ers have paid George Kittle, Brock Purdy, and Fred Warner but will all of that money be worth it for them this season. The Tush Push might have seen it's final days, and playoff seeding could change to just the top 7 teams instead of division winners earning a home playoff game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
