It seems Robert Spillane isn’t thrilled that Pittsburgh didn’t bring him back when he entered free agency in 2023.
While Spillane was reliable for the Steelers, playing in 50 games over four seasons, his best performance came during his first season as a Raider. Through twenty-two starts in Las Vegas, Spillane has accumulated over 200 tackles and three interceptions. The former Steelers LB is also leading the NFL with 43 solo tackles, compiling his best statistical start to date in 2024.
Spillane stated that he had a chip on his shoulder, and although he was arguably upset that Pittsburgh didn’t bring him back to the ‘Steel City,’ he claimed he was grateful to be a Raider.

Can Pittsburgh’s offensive unit silence Spillane’s jealous tirade and show him that the grass isn’t always greener? Najee Harris and the underwhelming Steelers’ run game have an opportunity to put their stamp on the 2024 season when they travel to Las Vegas in Week 6.
