Art Rooney confirms new throwbacks, second helmet for Steelers
It's still not clear whether the Steelers will be getting a new quarterback. It is clear that they'll be getting a new look or two in 2025.
Owner Art Rooney II has confirmed that the Steelers will have a new throwback uniform, along with a new second helmet. Via Steelers.com, Rooney said the outfit will debut in prime time.
'We are going to have a new throwback uniform this year, and with a new helmet to go with it,' Rooney said. 'We're planning to wear our new throwbacks for the Packers game on Sunday night, Oct. 26. It'll be fun to wear our throwbacks against one of the older franchises in the league — that just seems to be appropriate.'
In the past, the Steelers have worn a yellow helmet. The alternate helmets for the Steelers and four other teams are reportedly due to be unveiled this summer.
It seems appropriate for Rodgers to wear a yellow helmet in his first ever game against the Packers, for whom he wore a yellow helmet for years.
Rooney also said the team's Color Rush uniform is expected to be worn during the Monday night home game against the Dolphins, on December 15. It also would be fitting for the late season visit from the Dolphins to find a way to properly commemorate this unforgettable moment from a Monday night game played 18 years ago.

Eagles named as top landing spot for star CB Jaire Alexander
Eagles named as top landing spot for star CB Jaire Alexander Jaire Alexander could be headed to Philadelphia after being released by the Packers The Green Bay Packers are parting ways with two-time Pro Bowl defensive back Jaire Alexander after seven seasons. Alexander has missed at least 10 games in three of his last four seasons, but he's still one of the best in the NFL when healthy. Alexander played just seven games in 2024, marking the second straight season in which he missed at least 10 games due to injury. The former Pro Bowler also played just four games in 2021. This spring, general manager Brian Gutekunst told the media that Alexander's absences have been "tough on the player [and] tough on the organization," which signed the cornerback to an $84 million extension in 2022. Alexander is expected to draw significant interest from several teams on the open market. Could the Philadelphia Eagles be an option? Pro Football Focus named the Eagles as one of six potential landing spots for the former first-round pick. We have to throw this one in here because, well, it's the Eagles. Part of their run to the Super Bowl last year was capitalizing on players like this becoming available and forming the best team in the league. Alexander was also born in Philadelphia, though he grew up mostly in North Carolina. The Eagles have Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in their secondary, two players who were excellent as rookie starters in 2024. But they did lose Darius Slay, as well as Isaiah Rodgers, from their Super Bowl secondary. Perhaps Alexander would take a big discount to be the veteran in the room for a team looking for another title. CBS Sports has also identified Philadelphia as a possible destination. Philly is always aggressive in going after high-level talent, and Alexander fits the bill. He does even more so because the Eagles allowed both Darius Slay and Isaiah Rodgers to leave for greener pastures in free agency this offseason, leaving them with Kelee Ringo or Adoree' Jackson as their other starting corner across from 2024 first-rounder Quinyon Mitchell. Adding Alexander to the mix would allow them to better replicate what they had last year with Mitchell, Slay and slot corner Cooper DeJean. When healthy, Alexander is one of the best cornerbacks in football. He was named second-team All-Pro in 2022 after recording 14 pass breakups and five interceptions, but injuries hampered Alexander's final years in Green Bay. The 28-year-old has been limited to just 34 games over the last four seasons and missed the final eight contests in 2024. The Eagles are taking chances on a few oft-injured players next season (ex., Azeez Ojulari), would they bring in Alexander? Current DBs coach Christian Parker worked with Alexander for two years in Green Bay, and they maintain a great relationship. If Kelee Ringo or Adoree' Jackson underwhelm in training camp, Alexander could be another low-risk, high-reward signing for GM Howie Roseman, money permitting. 'He has been a great player for us,' Packers president Mark Murphy said. 'Obviously, elite talent. Unfortunately, just injured a lot. Unfortunately that's a big part of the game.'

Another injury for Anthony Richardson has soured his prospects as the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback though some are already projecting a new place for him with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Another injury for Anthony Richardson has soured his prospects as the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback though some are already projecting a new place for him with the Pittsburgh Steelers. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodgers finally made the worst kept secret in football an official matter of business this week when the veteran quarterback signed with the team. Pittsburgh had one of the more questionable quarterback situations in the AFC before the deal that now provides at least some temporary stability. Advertisement Temporary is the key word here because the Steelers have struggled to settle on a bona fide franchise centerpiece since Ben Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season. Rogers takes the reins this time for 2025 but the Steelers again failed in that conquest this offseason. Rodgers will be gone after this season, leaving the Steelers in the same predicament. A better quarterback class projected in next year's draft could point them in the right direction. However, one analyst believes their next franchise quarterback may already be in the league. ESPN's Kevin Clark urged last week on "NFL Live" that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson could be in play when the Steelers are forced into another quarterback decision a year from now. 'I've never seen anybody more destined to be in the 2026 Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback competition than Anthony Richardson, because I'm looking at this and I'm seeing a training camp where Daniel Jones will probably start with the ones... He's going to get a good start somewhere else.' Clark's belief comes under the premise that the Colts are not willing to wait on him to put the pieces together. Injuries have plagued his young career and another shoulder injury has befallen him this offseason. Advertisement If Daniel Jones proves capable, it's likely the Colts ride the hot hand and look for on off ramp on Richardson. However, the Steelers should not be the team ready to provide it. The Steelers need-long term stability under center. Richardson's track record to this point screams the opposite. While he has a fascinating collection of physical gifts, he is no generational quarterback talent and the injuries worsen his case. Pittsburgh's addition of Rodgers and Tomlin's own history of coaching winning teams puts their positioning for a future quarterback in question as it pertains to next year's draft. Anthony Richardson And The SteelersBy Tony Fisher However, sitting and selecting a rookie play caller or moving up the draft board would appear the far better option for the franchise's future than continuing this cycle of deploying quarterbacks with major baggage.
