This season, the Saints will host the NFL’s first-ever regular-season game in France. Per multiple reports, the opponent will be the Steelers.
The @OzzyNFL account on Twitter, which has been leaking schedule information, posted earlier tonight that Pittsburgh and New Orleans will square off in Paris on October 25. Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer has confirmed the news.
All international games that haven’t been previously announced are due to be disclosed on Wednesday morning. This year, nine games will be played on foreign soil: Three in London, one in Paris, one in Madrid, one in Melbourne, one in Germany, one in Rio de Janeiro, and one in Mexico City.
That’s up from five in 2025. And the league, which currently may stage up to 10 international games under the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the NFL Players Association, hopes to expand that number to 16.
Long-time NFL assistant coach Tom Moore hasn’t retired, after all. The 87-year-old offensive guru will return to where it all started.
Iowa.
Via Scott Dochterman of The Athletic, Moore will serve as senior consultant to the head coach and offensive advisor at the school where Moore played quarterback from 1958 through 1960. He also started his coaching career there, from 1961 to 1962.
Moore’s coaching career after leaving Iowa took him to Dayton, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Minnesota, the New York Stars of the WFL, and Minnesota again before becoming an NFL assistant coach in 1977.
He spent 13 seasons with the Steelers, four with the Vikings, three with the Lions, and one with the Saints.
Moore arrived with the Colts in 1998, Peyton Manning’s rookie season. Moore served as Manning’s offensive coordinator for the first 11 years of his career, before taking on a senior position in 2009 and 2010.
Moore then went to the Jets for a year, the Titans for a year, the Cardinals for five years (with head coach Bruce Arians). After taking 2018 off, Moore reunited with Arians in Tampa Bay, where Moore worked as an offensive consultant from 2019 through 2025.
In all, Moore has won four Super Bowl rings — two with the Steelers (1978, 1979), one with the Colts (2006), and one with the Buccaneers (2020). Now, 64 years after leaving Iowa, his career is coming full circle.
The Steelers made a change on their offensive line after their rookie minicamp.
They announced that they have signed center Greg Crippen after he tried out for the team over the weekend. They waived offensive lineman Sataoa Laumea in a corresponding move.
Crippen started all 13 games for Michigan last season and appeared in 41 games over his entire time in Ann Arbor. Zach Frazier is set to start at center for the Steelers this season and Ryan McCollum is also on hand as a backup.
Laumea was a Seahawks sixth-round pick in 2024 and he started six games during his rookie season. He was waived last summer and spent time on the Saints’ practice squad before signing with Pittsburgh in January.
Aaron Rodgers may have been in Pittsburgh over the weekend, but his visit didn’t include a meeting with the Steelers.
A report from 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh late last week said that Rodgers would be at the team’s facility and that he was expected to sign with the team before the weekend was over. Subsequent reports cast doubt on the imminent signing, whether the Steelers had any idea that Rodgers was going to be in the city and that any meeting was in the works.
Saturday brought word that Rodgers and the Steelers had not met and Adam Schefter of ESPN said on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday that the weekend passed without any interaction between the quarterback and the team.
The Steelers move into the final phase of their offseason program next Monday when they hold the first of 10 scheduled offseason team activities. Whether Rodgers will be there for any of those workouts remains as much of a mystery as it was when his first season as a Steeler came to an end in a 30-6 blowout loss to the Texans.
The Steelers haven’t settled anything with quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the 2026 season, but they got a deal done with kicker Chris Boswell.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Boswell has agreed to a four-year extension with the team. That puts him under contract in Pittsburgh through the 2030 season.
Boswell’s deal is worth $28 million and the $7 million average annual salary of the extension is equal to the one that Brandon Aubrey signed with the Cowboys earlier in the offseason.
Boswell is heading into his 12th season with the Steelers. He is 299-of-341 on field goals and 353-of-369 on extra points during his time in Pittsburgh. Boswell, who was a first-team All-Pro in 2024, was 27-of-32 on field goals and 42-of-43 on extra points last year.
