IKE TAYLOR RUMORS & GOSSIP

The Pittsburgh Steelers ended another week of OTA sessions, which means that fans are one week closer to the start of training camp and the regular season. While, it is virtually impossible to make heads or tails of defensive progress due to the lack of hitting, it is always fun to see how explosive young players look in helmets and shorts. One area that the Steelers have some young...

It’s the middle of the NFL offseason. There is absolutely nothing to do except make worthless rankings and make useless countdowns. But if  you’re going to create them, the least you can do, is do them correctly. Sporting News has been going ranking crazy and most of their lists have been relatively accurate – we’re a tad bit biased if you haven’t...

We’ve been talking about Mike Wallace’s desire for a new long-term contract for so long that it has been hard to remember that there’s actually a deadline of some note rapidly approaching in the wide receiver’s impasse with the Steelers. If Wallace doesn’t sign his restricted free agent tender by June 15th, the Steelers can slash his [...]

With the Pittsburgh Steelers enduring salary cap hell this offseason that saw them have to resort to cutting several valued and well-respected players, one of the biggest stories of free agency was what they would do if a team offered Mike Wallace a contract in return for the first round tender Pittsburgh placed on him.

Taylor told Harris that Wallace said, "Man I got more yards...

The Pittsburgh Steelers second OTA session of the 2012 season started on Tuesday and once again restricted free agent wide receiver Mike Wallace remains unsigned and away from the team. Cornerback Ike Taylor was with Wallace this past weekend out in Las Vegas and passed along word during his weekly show on Trib Live Radio Tuesday that Wallace wants to be with his teammates in Pittsburgh...

We already passed along the news that Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu is present for the first OTA session of the 2012 season that got underway today in Pittsburgh and now we are getting word from Mark Kaboly of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review of players that are not present or are not participating in addition. Kaboly reported via Twitter that defensive end Brett Keisel...

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor has been dipping his toes in the television football analyst pool as of late and his latest appearance was Tuesday on NFL Total Access. I am a bit biased, but I thought Taylor did a pretty good job Tuesday in his segments, but the one thing that did catch me by surprise though was the wardrobe, or should I say jacket, that Taylor wore Tuesday...
