Steelers Begin QB Talks, George Pickens Calls Out Rumors
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are apparently beginning their quarterback contract negotiations. With the season behind them and a massive decision to make at the sport’s most important position, they’re getting a head start on two candidates – beginning with their starter from last year.
According to Russell Wilson, the Steelers have started contract discussions with him. This could mean a number of things, and there’s something to clarify when saying two sides are “talking.” While Wilson wants to return to Pittsburgh, this may not be the optimistic sign everyone thinks it is.
Meanwhile, there’s been no news from the other side. So, you have to ask the question, does Justin Fields want to return to the Steelers? Or, are the Steelers just hoping they can draw him back in.
Outside of the quarterback world, George Pickens has heard the trade rumors. The star wide receiver made his thoughts on known on the discussion circulating around him, and says he’s not goiny anywhere.
Maybe that’s not bulletproof evidence that he’s staying, but it is a sign of confidence. And words like this from Pickens at least shows where he wants to be, even if he doesn’t decide his fate this coming offseason.

50 Leaders Give Their Rx for Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor, Pt. VII – Pittsburgh Quarterly
Mark Opitz, Managing Partner, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh stands at a promising moment of civic reinvention, with an opportunity to build on its leadership in AI, robotics, and advanced innovation to create a more vibrant urban future. A key priority for the mayor could be strengthening confidence in Downtown by continuing its evolution from a 9-to-5 employment center into a mixed-use neighborhood that attracts workers, residents, students, and visitors throughout the entire week.
To advance that vision, the mayor should give consideration to public safety, cleanliness, and mobility, along with creative reuse of underutilized office space for housing, emerging companies, and cultural activity. Equally important is sending a clear, consistent signal that Pittsburgh welcomes investment and partnership. Regulatory predictability, efficient approvals, and strong collaboration among the city, employers, institutions, and neighboring communities can help align development with market realities. By pairing economic ambition with quality of life, the city’s leadership can position Downtown — and the city — as confident, innovative, and open for growth.
One of Pittsburgh’s biggest goals before hosting the NFL Draft was to modernize Market Square. It is just one of the spaces in the downtown area that is being transformed for the massive event.
