There are some good players on the current Steelers roster who won't make the team but won't be out of work for long.

During the offseason, the Steelers made that goal very clear with their moves. Aaron Rodgers was signed to a one-year contract, which he has claimed will be his last year in the NFL. Outside of that move, Pittsburgh also traded for DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey, and Jonnu Smith.

A report from former Steeler-turned-analyst Bryant McFadden indicated that Aaron Rodgers actually turned down more money to play in Pittsburgh.

Steelers fans had a fun day on the North Shore tailgating before heading in for Saturday night's tune-up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Saturday's contest was the only home preseason game of the 2025 season, but Max Kilgore's Acrisure Stadium debut still meant the world.

This year’s collection of hold-ins included kicker Chris Boswell. His hold-in has ended as quietly as it began. Boswell is playing on Saturday night for the Steelers, in their preseason game againt the Buccaneers. He handled the opening kickoff.

If you looked closely at the sidelines of Saturday's Steelers preseason game at Acrisure Stadium, you may have spotted actor Nicholas Hoult.

Wilson finished with two receptions for 72 yards, with some extra character added in as a blocker. He ran with the first team out of 12 personnel for much of training camp. Now, the Steelers have given that chance, running as the top wide receiver in the preseason with DK Metcalf not playing and Calvin Austin III injured.
