スポーツ・イラストレイテッド誌のマット・バーデラメ氏は、ピッツバーグ・スティーラーズの積極的なオフシーズンの動きに対して「A」評価を与え、主要なロスターの補強とマイク・マッカーシー氏のヘッドコーチ就任を高く評価した。同氏は、現在のチームがNFLでも屈指の戦力を備えたロスターを形成していると指摘している。
スティーラーズは今オフシーズン、オマー・カーンGMの下で大きな変革を遂げた。19年間チームを率いたマイク・トムリン氏の後任としてマッカーシー氏を招聘し、2026年のNFLドラフトでは10名の指名を行った。さらに、ワイドレシーバーのマイケル・ピットマンJr.をトレードで獲得したほか、ジャメル・ディーン、ジャクワン・ブリスカー、セバスチャン・ジョセフ＝デイ、リコ・ダウドルらと契約し、セカンダリー、ディフェンシブライン、ランニングバックの各ポジションを強化した。これらの動きにより、同チームはAFC北地区で最高評価を獲得し、B評価のベンガルズ、C+のブラウンズ、D+のレイブンズを上回った。
