The Pittsburgh Steelers are entering the 2025 season with more hope for contention than any season in the past half-decade. They loaded up on veteran talent on both offense and defense, with names like Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith, DK Metcalf, and Aaron Rodgers joining the squad this offseason.
It was a huge departure from how the Steelers have historically operated, and it carries plenty of risk of failure if the new additions don't live up to the hype. What it also does is invite more weirdness than we usually see from Pittsburgh, considering their historic consistency of playing winning football.
