The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Friday that they have signed rookie defensive tackle Yahya Black to his rookie contract. The team has now signed all of its rookies except for Derrick Harmon. Defensive line coach Karl Dunbar said between the picks of Harmon, Black, and edge rusher Jack Sawyer, the team noticed they had to get dominant up front.

Pittsburgh went 10-7 and made the playoffs in 2024 under quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Wilson signed with the New York Giants while Fields went to the Jets to replace Rodgers, so the position is open for the taking.

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a massive move earlier this week, sending star wide reciever George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Pittsburgh had been discussing a trade of Pickens for some time now, but the team finally pulled the trigger.

Earlier this week, the Pittsburgh Steelers sent wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a third-round draft pick and a swap of Day 3 picks. The deal came after a three-year run where Pickens was at times productive but also at times frustrating for the Steelers.

George Pickens didn't put any pressure on the Pittsburgh Steelers to trade him before being dealt to the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday. Speaking to reporters on Friday for the first time since the deal, Steelers general manager Omar Khan explained that Pickens never requested a trade.
