Steelers insider predicts bad news on Terry Bradshaw having his number retired
Terry Bradshaw is one of the greatest Steelers QBs of all time — and to honor the four Super Bowls he won with Pittsburgh, no other player has donned his legendary No. 12 since he left. However, the number isn't officially retired — and insider Gerry Dulac recently stated it may take a while. During Wednesday's Steelers chat on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Dulac was asked for an update on when Pittsburgh will retire Bradshaw's No. 12 — and the Steelers insider provided some bad news: Advertisement "I don't think it's happening anytime soon." His pessimism is founded in reality, however, as only three Steelers have had their jerseys officially retired: Ernie Stautner, 'Mean' Joe Greene, and the late, great Franco Harris. Stautner joined the Steelers in 1950 — playing in 173 games over his 14 years with Pittsburgh — and his contributions to the Steel City earned him the honor of having his No. 70 jersey retired in 1964. Arguably one of the greatest defensive linemen in NFL history, Greene's 181 games with Pittsburgh over a 13-year span earned his No. 75 the distinction of being the second number retired, in 2014. Harris was the third and most recent Steeler to have his number honored for eternity — as his No. 32 was retired on the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception in 2022. All three of these Steelers legends were honored with having their numbers officially retired — but Bradshaw will likely have to settle for the unofficial recognition for the time being. Advertisement Should any other Steelers legends have their jerseys retired — and if so, who should be next after Bradshaw gets his turn?

Insider: Steelers all in on QB in 2026 NFL Draft — but not 2025
Insider: Steelers all in on QB in 2026 NFL Draft — but not 2025 According to insider Gerry Dulac, the Pittsburgh Steelers will soon look to draft their quarterback of the future — just not in 2025. Dulac, who recently appeared on The Rich Eisen Show, stated that trading up in the 2026 NFL Draft for a quarterback is far more likely to be the team's long-term strategy: 'Rich, I firmly believe that they are all in on quarterback in 2026 based on what I hear and what I've been told. They will have extra draft capital next year, between all the comp picks they will get — the third- and fourth-round picks they will get. I believe that's when they will make a deal to get an extra number two.' The Steelers insider elaborated that Pittsburgh could then use the additional premium draft capital to move up and acquire one of 2026's top quarterback prospects. Dulac has consistently shot down the idea of the Steelers drafting a quarterback in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft — and if what he's heard about 2026 is accurate, the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh could be the perfect opportunity to select their franchise quarterback.

Insider isn't sold on Steelers GM Omar Khan's George Pickens extension comments
Insider isn't sold on Steelers GM Omar Khan's George Pickens extension comments The 'George Pickens rollercoaster' took its latest rise thanks to Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan's comments and vote of confidence regarding a potential extension for their star wide receiver—but the ride may soon plummet. Insider Gerry Dulac, a well-trusted source for behind-the-scenes Steelers information, was asked about the legitimacy of Khan's Pickens-extension talks—and Dulac wasted little time pulling the wool from the eyes of the Black and Gold faithful. When discussing a potential contract extension during Wednesday's Steelers Chat, Dulac had this to say about Pickens' future with the Steelers: "I don't think he is in their plans beyond 2025." He wasn't finished there, however. When a fan asked if there were any reasons beyond Pickens' on- and off-field antics that might cause the Pittsburgh Steelers to hesitate on re-signing him, Dulac kept it short and sweet: "You just mentioned the reasons." With that in mind, are Khan's Combine comments simply a smokescreen to keep Pickens' trade value high ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft? And if so, how much longer can fans expect the star receiver to don the Black and Gold?
