Steelers sign OL Andrus Peat, QB Logan Woodside
The Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran offensive lineman Andrus Peat and journeyman quarterback Logan Woodside to one-year deals on Thursday. Peat, 31, was a first-round pick (13th overall) by New Orleans in 2015 and was selected to three straight Pro Bowls with the Saints from 2018-20. Peat has started 103 of his 126 regular season games with the Saints (2015-23) and Las Vegas Raiders (2024). He has primarily played left guard. Woodside, 30, was a seventh-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2018. He has appeared in 13 games (no starts) with the Tennessee Titans (2020-21) and Atlanta Falcons (2022-23), completing 4 of 7 passes for 34 yards and one interception. The Steelers waived long snapper Tucker Addington and guard Nick Broeker to make room on their training camp roster. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

Steelers sign QB Logan Woodside, OL Andrus Peat
The Steelers announced on Thursday that the club has signed quarterback Logan Woodside and offensive lineman Andrus Peat. Woodside provides depth at a position that got thinner with rookie quarterback Will Howard's recent hand injury. While head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters on Thursday that Howard may be able to get back at some point during training camp, Woodside is healthy and could potentially play as soon as this weekend. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith previously coached Woodside with the Titans and Falcons. He's appeared in 13 career regular-season games, completing 4-of-7 passes for 34 yards with an interception. Peat, 31, spent last season with the Raiders, appearing in 15 games with one start. A Saints first-round pick in 2015, Peat has appeared in 126 career games with 103 starts. He was a Pro Bowler in 2018, 2019, and 2020. As corresponding moves, the Steelers waived long snapper Tucker Addington and guard Nick Broeker.

Former Saints first-round draft pick Andrus Peat attempting NFL comeback with Steelers
Three-time Pro Bowler, longtime starter signs with Pittsburgh Former New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl offensive lineman Andrus Peat has signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Mike Tomlin announced the move on Thursday morning, per PennLive's Nick Farabaugh. Peat, 31, is expected to fortify a thin and questionable offensive line tasked with protecting veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The Saints selected Peat with the 13th overall choice in Round 1 of the 2015 NFL draft. Despite having played left tackle at Stanford, Peat started just eight games at tackle as a rookie, and he struggled with consistency over his first few years on both the left and right sides. When the Saints moved him inside to guard, Peat responded with three straight seasons as a Pro Bowl alternate from 2018 to 2020. Peat was moved back to left tackle during the 2023 season when it became clear Trevor Penning couldn't hold it down, and did well over 12 starts. During a nine-year career with New Orleans, Peat appeared in 111 regular season games with 102 starts. Injuries were a frequent problem for him. Andrus Peat was with the Las Vegas Raiders last season. He appeared in 15 games but made only one start, and played a career-low 6% of the team's offensive snaps. Peat will now have an opportunity to resurrect his career in Pittsburgh and could even compete for a starting role, most likely at guard, while bringing some versatility to play tackle or inside.

‘We need to support New Zealand authors': Kirsten Le Harivel's books confessional
Welcome to The Spinoff Books Confessional, in which we get to know the reading habits of Aotearoa writers, and guests. This week: Kirsten Le Harivel, co-founder of Bookmark Kāpiti. The book I wish I'd written There are so many books I admire. As a writer, I wish I'd written Still Life by Sarah Winman. I really loved the way the story centred friendship. Everyone should read Books by New Zealand writers! That may sound clichéd but if we want a literary landscape, we need to support our authors by buying their books. There are so many local writers out there doing awesome stuff, in so many genres and set in so many places around this world and the next! The book I want to be buried with I want to be cremated. I feel quite uncomfortable about the idea of burning books, except perhaps my diaries! I have kept all the writing I've done since I was a teenager and I really don't like the idea of it escaping out into the world! Fiction or nonfiction Definitely fiction. I love its ability to take us out of the day-to-day and let us imagine new realities. I find fiction by Patricia Grace, Witi Ihimaera, Jenny Pattrick, Tina Makereti, Tīhema Baker and many other New Zealand writers helps me understand our history and its repercussions in contemporary Aotearoa. The book I never admit I've read Lol, as someone who works in the 'literary' sector, I always feel embarrassed that I have a major soft spot for cosy mysteries and magical romance. I think sometimes the industry can get snobby about what is 'good', but 'good' can be all kinds of things to all kinds of people. These genres I've discovered in the last couple of years when real life was complicated enough that escapism was absolutely what I needed. If I could only read three books for the rest of my life they would be This question makes me think of being left on a desert island and since I rarely read fiction books more than once (unless I'm reading them from a craft perspective), I would pick three very practical tomes on surviving in the wilderness. Books I'd never ordinarily read but I'm sure would be essential if I was stuck survivor-like somewhere! Greatest New Zealand writer There are so many more amazing New Zealand authors than I can realistically name so I'm going to mention two people who have had a big impact on my own writing journey. Lynn Jenner who has the most incredible ability to make compelling what may seem mundane or every day. Like watching 'Search and Rescue' in Lost and Gone Away and the building of the Kāpiti Expressway in Peat. Hinemoana Baker who was my first creative writing tutor. I still think of that class and how lucky I was to be a baby poet learning from her and all the other writers in that class including Renée, Natasha Dennerstein, Nicola Easthope and Sarah Delahunty. That class started me on my journey to become a poet. Best thing about reading Reading is my happy place! As my nine-year-old son says to me, it's a way to escape, especially when people are being annoying. It also allows you to imagine the lives of people who have different experiences than your own or to see your own experiences in a new light. Best place to read My children still want me to read to them so curled up on the couch or in bed with them is definitely one of my favourite places. I've been reading the whole School of Monsters series by Sally Rippin with my five-year-old, she loves them so much she dressed up as Mary at her school's annual book parade. Almost all the kids and the teachers had dressed up as different book characters, even the year 7s and 8s which gives me great hope for the next generation of readers! With my son, we're reading a George Mackay Brown short story collection I read as a child which is a lovely way to reconnect with my childhood and my birth country, Scotland. What I'm reading right now I am really busy working on the inaugural Bookmark Kāpiti so I'm reading a lot of what I think you'd call 'historical cosy mysteries'. I recently discovered several series set in India (where I lived for several years) by Sujata Massey, Vaseem Khan, Harini Nagendra. I enjoy being transported back to that country and time in my life via their books. The Spinoff Books section is proudly brought to you by Unity Books and Creative New Zealand.
