What Kind of Leader is Art Rooney II? | Steelers Morning Rush
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 leadership of president Art Rooney II. Rooney is a behind-the-scenes presence for the most part, letting general manager Omar Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin do most to the talking for the team, but he's still an integral part of the team's decision-making process. So what kind of leader is Rooney for the Steelers organization? Alan breaks it down. #steelers #herewego #nfl CONNECT WITH STEELERS NOW: Steelers Now: https://steelersnow.com SN on Twitter: https://twitter.com/pghsteelersnow SN on FB: https://facebook.com/steelersnow SN on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/pghsteelersnow/

Should the Steelers try to trade EDGE T.J. Watt?
Should the Steelers try to trade T.J. Watt? The Pittsburgh Steelers 2025 offseason has been a wild ride. The team has completely gutted out the quarterback depth chart for a second-straight season. The team also has a brand new No. 1 wide receiver, No. 1 running back, and new starting right tackle. But despite all the attention the offense is getting, nothing seems to be working. Meanwhile, the Steelers defense is loaded with edge defender T.J. Watt as its undisputed top player. And right now, Watt isn't working with the team as he holds out for a massive new contract. Watt is currently in the final year of a four-year, $112 million contract and he wants a raise. The market for elite edge rushers continues to spike and Watt feels he deserves to be at or near the top. Watt is currently the seventh highest-paid edge rusher in the NFL on an annual basis. Watt is also part of a trio of edge rushers, including Cincinnati's Trey Hendrickson and the Cowboys' Micah Parsons. All three want new deals, and it will be like dominoes once one signs, and the cost is just going to go up each time. We won't be shocked if all three end up being ahead of current APY leader Myles Garrett. This situation does prompt us to wonder if now isn't the time for the Steelers to trade Watt. He would surely garner at a minimum one first-round pick along with other picks but to the right team might bring in first-round picks in multiple seasons. Everything else aside as far as loyalty and Steelers DNA, this is a tempting situation. And based on the Steelers history, it's something they have thought about. Pittsburgh currently has one of the best three-man rotations in the NFL at edge rusher and only improved it in 2025. The addition of former Ohio State edge Jack Sawyer in the 2025 NFL draft gives the Steelers an excellent backup plan if they dealt Watt and moved Nick Herbig into the starting lineup along with Alex Highsmith. Be sure to head up to the post above and cast your vote for whether or not the Steelers should try to trade Watt. The most you roll over the scenarios over, the more tempting it is to make the trade and really focus on making this team a Super Bowl contender.

Browns WR Diontae Johnson predicts Kenny Pickett to win starting QB battle
The Cleveland Browns made small moves at the wide receiver position this offseason, their biggest being the addition of former Pro Bowler Diontae Johnson. And Johnson has a prediction for who will win the Browns' quarterback battle, going with his former and again current teammate Kenny Pickett. Johnson stated, "I think they're going to roll with Kenny for right now,' while speaking with host Stephen Garcia on The Comeback. Johnson and Pickett played two seasons together with the Steelers from 2022-2023. During that time, Johnson racked up 137 catches for nearly 1,600 yards and five touchdowns while catching passes from Pickett. More importantly, Johnson saw a massive 137 targets during Pickett's rookie season in Pittsburgh. Advertisement The former Toledo Rocket is looking for a fresh start in Cleveland after a forgettable 2024 season where he burned through four different locker rooms. He was traded from the Steelers after a disgruntled offseason, then he was cut by the Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens, and Houston Texans throughout the season. Whether it is Pickett or Joe Flacco or one of the two rookies who starts for the Browns, Johnson has a real opportunity at resurrection in 2025, given the lack of moves made to that room this offseason. We'll see if he can take advantage. This article originally appeared on Browns Wire: Browns WR Diontae Johnson predicts Kenny Pickett to win QB job
