Mike Tomlin and Steelers send clear message to entire NFL after their latest moves in free agency

Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers appear to have wrapped up their offseason moves with the contract extension for T.J. Watt. Although there’s still some potential interest in a wide receiver, general manager Omar Khan has already addressed all the main needs.

Pittsburgh has undergone a major shakeup after parting ways with names like Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Minkah Fitzpatrick, and George Pickens. In the process, the new approach includes the arrival of stars like DK Metcalf and Jalen Ramsey.

Now, the big question is whether this transformation will give the Steelers their first playoff win in eight years and, more importantly, if Aaron Rodgers was the missing piece to contend for a Super Bowl.

When was the last time Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl?

The last time Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl was in the 2008 season, when the Steelers defeated the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. Ben Roethlisberger was the quarterback, outdueling Kurt Warner in a thrilling matchup in Tampa.

Now, although many fans and experts may not share this opinion, a report from Jeremy Fowler indicates that Mike Tomlin and the Steelers front office are convinced they have the roster to win another championship. The message is clear: win now.

“When I check with people in Pittsburgh, they all say the same thing. We’re trying to build a Super Bowl winning roster. Whether they have the quarterback or not to do that is the question. But, around the quarterback, they have a lot of pieces now, including one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.”
