The New England Patriots lost to the New York Giants 21-17 in Super Bowl XLVI and not only was the Pittsburgh Steelers fan base happy with the Patriots failure to capture their 4th Super Bowl championship, but so were a few Steelers players as both safety Ryan Clark and linebacker James Harrison let their thoughts be known about the Patriots on Twitter. Harrison was the first to pile on with,”Told you, cheaters never win!!!!!!!!!” and followed it up with, “Lol, I’m sorry I couldn’t help it!!!” Told you, cheaters never win!!!!!!!!!— James Harrison (@jharrison9292) February 6, 2012 Clark Read more [...]

Nike will become the official uniform provider for the NFL in 2012 as they take over for Reebok and today you can get a glimpse of the new Nike Vapor Jet gloves during the 2012 Pro Bowl. Nike made the announcement on their Facebook page a few days ago and you can see the Steelers version of the new Nike gloves below that Steelers players Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and Ryan Clark figure to be wearing today.

By Dave Bryan on Friday, August 5th, 2011 | 3 Comments

Day 9 of Steelers training camp got off to a great start when it was announced that LaMarr Woodely had signed a 6-year, $61 million dollar extension. Woodley was currently carrying the franchise tag that was set to pay him $10 million plus in 2011. The extension now means he is under contract through the 2016 season and he know will count around $6.35 million against the Steelers 2011 salary cap. Woodley talked about his new contract this morning and you can read about it on Steelers.com. Now that Woodley is locked up, I posted my thoughts on who the Steelers may turn their attention to.

By Dave Bryan on Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011 | 2 Comments

Ed Bouchette and Scott Brown are both reporting via Twitter that Steelers linebacker James Harrison left the practice field today early and was seen walking off with his back surgeon, Joe Maroon. Harrison was seen laughing as he walked off with Maroon and speculation is that there is no problem. Brown thinks that perhaps it was a planned check up today on the surgically repaired back of Harrison. Harrison was not practicing today. Harrison underwent two back procedures this offseason with the first coming on Feb. 21 to remove part of a herniated disk in his lower back that was causing him problems. Read more [...]

Steelers 2011 Training Camp – Day Six Recap

By Dave Bryan on Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011 | 1 Comment

Day 6 of Steelers training camp is in the books and this post will serve as your daily recap of the comings and goings from Tuesday at Latrobe. The morning started with the announcement that long snapper Greg Warren had agreed to terms. The Steelers only had one long snapper in camp in the form of Derek Chard and Warren now appears to be the odds on favorite to continue his role as the long snapper. This now means that all of 2010 specialist are back on the roster in Warren, Daniel Sepulveda, Shaun Suisham and Jeremy Kapinos. Sepulveda is the odds on favorite to beat out Kapinos if indeed he Read more [...]

Steelers TE Heath Miller Agrees To Restructure Contract

By Dave Bryan on Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011 | 4 Comments

Another Steelers player has put his hand into the restructured contract pile as Scott Brown reports via Twitter that tight end Heath Miller is restructering his contract to help free up salary cap room for this year. The Steelers rewarded Miller with a six-year, $35.3 million contract extension back in July of 2009 that included a $12.5 million signing bonus. Miller was set to count around $5.6 million against the cap this year with a base of around $3.4 million. The Steelers will likely turn half of that base salary or more into signing bonus money and stretch that amount out over this year Read more [...]

Former Steelers running back Willie Parker has announced via his Facebook page this morning that he is headed to play in the UFL this year and that he has not given up hope of returning to the NFL. Parker also thanked all of the fans for their love and support. Parker will play for the Virginia Destroyers. Parker had a brilliant offseason social media campaign on both Twitter and Facebook and did several interviews this offseason in hopes of drumming up some interest from a team. Parker particularly noted his wish to return to Pittsburgh, but that ended up not coming to fruition. Parker was Read more [...]

Dejan Kovacevic reports via Twitter this morning that Steelers outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley informed him that the team has approached him about getting a multi-year contract done with him. Kovacevic said that Woodley did not go into specifics, only to say it is a long term deal discussion.

By Dave Bryan on Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011 | 2 Comments

Steelers left guard Chris Kemoeatu has agreed to restructure his contract to help provide even more salary cap for the Steelers in 2011 according to Scott Brown on Twitter. Kemoeatu joins quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, linebacker James Harrison and defensive end Brett Keisel on the list of players that have agreed to have their 2011 base salary turned into signing bonus money to help clear cap room. Kemoeatu signed a 5-year, $20 million deal back in February of 2009 and has started camp this year on the Active PUP list due to knee swelling. There is no word on the restructured amount, but Kemoeatu Read more [...]

Emmanuel Sanders To Miss Next 3 Weeks Because Of Foot Problem

By Dave Bryan on Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011 | No Comments

Various Steelers beat writers are reporting this morning that second year wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders has informed the media that he will remain sidelined for the next 3 weeks with a foot injury. Sanders had both feet operated during the offseason after suffering a broken bone in one of his feet during the Steelers loss to the Packers in the Super Bowl. Sanders tried to practice during the first on field practice this past weekend, but reported foot discomfort afterwards and has been sidelined since. This might explain the Steelers recent interest in Plaxico Burress this past weekend as there Read more [...]

Report: Ben Roethlisberger Agrees To Contract Restructure

By Dave Bryan on Monday, August 1st, 2011 | 7 Comments

It is an off day for the Steelers practice wise, but it does not mean the front office is not hard at work clearing salary cap space as Ed Bouchette reports via Twitter that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has agreed to restructure his contract to free up some cap room for this season. Roethlisberger was reportedly set to count nearly $16 million against the 2011 cap with a base salary in the neighborhood of $11.6 million this year.

Steelers Agree To Terms With NT Chris Hoke

By Dave Bryan on Monday, August 1st, 2011 | 1 Comment

Kevin Colbert did not tell a lie as the Steelers have agreed to terms with unrestricted free agent nose tackle Chris Hoke according to Mark Kaboly on Twitter. Hoke reportedly has passed his physical and has signed one-year deal. He will report to training camp tonight, but can’t practice until Thursday according to the new labor agreement rules. The move is not too surprising as the Steelers continue to attack their own free agents this offseason as several of the Steelers unrestricted free agents like William Gay, Daniel Sepulveda and Mewelde Moore have now agreed to return over the last few Read more [...]

Steelers 2011 Training Camp – Day Four Recap

By Dave Bryan on Sunday, July 31st, 2011 | 6 Comments

Sunday was day 4 of Steelers training camp and once again the news got off to an early start as the Plaxico Burress watch is now over after he agreed to terms on a one year deal with the Jets for a little over $3 million. Perhaps the trip to Pittsburgh was just a ploy to drive his price tag up, but I am willing to bet the Steelers were not in the ballpark money wise. Whatever the reason was, it doesn’t matter at this point. The next bit of news we got right before practice started is that the Steelers had agreed to terms with cornerback William Gay on a one-year deal. No terms were announce, but Read more [...]

Steelers Agree To Terms With RB Mewelde Moore

By Dave Bryan on Sunday, July 31st, 2011 | 12 Comments

Mark Kaboly reports via Twitter that unrestricted free agent running back Mewelde Moore has agreed to terms on a contract to return to Pittsburgh. The Steelers are dead set at re-signing their own free agents this year to help lessen the stress of relying on inexperienced rookies on the roster. No terms have been announced yet, but it would figure to be a one or two year deal. Moore will likely resume his role as a the third down and change of pace back initially, but stands to have competition from 7th round draft pick Baron Batch, who is already turning heads in training camp. Last season Read more [...]
