It’s been a very active offseason for the franchise. The Pittsburgh Steelers are still busy as they prepare for the 2023 NFL season.

The franchise has attacked this offseason looking to build on last season’s 7-2 finish. The Pittsburgh Steelers missed the playoffs in 2022 despite a 9-8 record. The bigger picture has to do with the club’s recent postseason failures.

Mike Tomlin’s club has not won a playoff game since beating the Chiefs in the 2016 divisional round. New general manager Omar Khan appears determined to end the misery, one that has seen the club dropped four straight playoff contests and given up a combined 171 points in the process. As for some recent news…

Is it no longer Anthony Miller time in Pittsburgh?

The last time wide receiver Anthony Miller took the field was in Week 12 of 2021 at Cincinnati. He began that season with the Houston Texans but wound up with Mike Tomlin’s club. In a 41-10 loss to the Bengals, the one-time second-round draft choice of the Chicago Bears caught one pass for two yards.

Miller did not play football in 2022. With the opening of training camps just over a month away, he chose today to send out this tweet.

Perhaps we will find out sooner than later what message he is actually sending. Stay tuned.
