by | Mar 10, 2026 | Black and Gold Daily Blitz, Ohio

NFL free agency is already shaking up the Pittsburgh Steelers roster. On this episode of The Black & Gold Daily Blitz Podcast, Jeff “Tito” Thitoff breaks down the biggest moves from Day One of legal tampering.

The Steelers lose their most productive running back as Kenneth Gainwell signs with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but Pittsburgh responds with a major trade for Michael Pittman Jr. from the Indianapolis Colts.

The team also lands elite corner Jamel Dean from Tampa Bay to strengthen a defense that struggled against the pass last season.

Plus:

• Why Gainwell’s departure could hurt more than fans think

• What Pittman brings alongside DK Metcalf

• The Steelers’ big investment at wide receiver

• Defensive upgrades with Jamel Dean

• The quarterback situation in Pittsburgh and why Malik Willis is officially off the board

• What’s next for the Steelers in NFL free agency

Free agency is just getting started, and the Steelers’ roster could look very different by the time the NFL league year officially begins.
