James Harrison Says He’s Recruiting Joe Burrow to the Steelers

The talk highlights Pittsburgh’s quarterback uncertainty clashing with Burrow’s long-term deal in Cincinnati.

Overview

  • Harrison, on the Deebo & Joe podcast Tuesday, said he speaks with Joe Burrow weekly and urged him to ask Bengals owner Mike Brown what it would take to join Pittsburgh.
  • Ben Roethlisberger reacted on the show by calling a Burrow move to the Steelers a “pipe dream.”
  • Bengals voices pushed back, with Adam “Pacman” Jones telling Harrison on Instagram to stop and a Bengals-focused Yahoo column labeling the claim likely untrue.
  • Burrow is under contract through 2029 after a five-year, $275 million extension, and teams almost never trade franchise quarterbacks to division rivals.
  • National outlets reported the clip as speculation tied to Pittsburgh’s unsettled search at quarterback, where Mason Rudolph and Will Howard are in the room as Aaron Rodgers weighs a 2026 return.
