#Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that they were attempting to to get more out of George Pickens by limiting his snap count, and that there was no other story to his reduced reps.
Sources: The #Steelers and six-time Pro Bowl DE Cam Heyward have agreed to a three-year, $45M deal that includes $29 million in new money and $16 million fully guaranteed.
Heyward, 35, who had $16M left on the final year of his previous deal, is now under contract through 2026, allowing a long-time captain to retire a Steeler. His signing bonus is nearly $15M.
@_Feraco @JMackeyPG Probably because they ran into three outs at home the night before, so focusing on base running issues seems important. Also Puk literally could not find the strike zone so giving him a free out here was a huge mistake
The #Steelers are expected to hire former #Falcons coach Arthur Smith as their offensive coordinator, per sources.
Smith had a top run game as #Titans OC before heading to Atlanta three years ago. Now he’ll be coaching Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren and company in Pittsburgh.
