Larry Ogunjobi Blasts Steelers After Joining Bills, Sends 6-Word Message to T.J. Watt

Former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi has unleashed a scathing attack on his old team after signing a one-year, $8.3 million deal with the Buffalo Bills, sources told ESPN Saturday. The 30-year-old’s fiery comments target the Steelers’ leadership, igniting drama as the 2025 NFL Draft unfolds.

Ogunjobi, cut by Pittsburgh in March to save $7 million in cap space, didn’t hold back in a WGR 550 interview, slamming GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin for what he called “boneheaded decisions” that drove players away. His 2024 season—41 tackles, 1.5 sacks—ended in a release he claims was mishandled.

The Bills’ new lineman pointed to Khan’s failure to secure a starting quarterback and Tomlin’s stagnant play-calling as reasons for the Steelers’ eight-year playoff win drought. He accused the duo of squandering talent, citing departures like Najee Harris and Justin Fields as proof of a “toxic” environment.

Khan and Tomlin are clueless—full stop, Ogunjobi said.

Ogunjobi’s most explosive remarks targeted teammate T.J. Watt, urging the All-Pro edge rusher to abandon Pittsburgh. In a pointed six-word message, he implored Watt to seek a team that values his 96.5 career sacks and 2021 Defensive Player of the Year award.

Leave that damn team, find respect, Ogunjobi texted Watt, per sources.

Pittsburgh’s 2025 roster, bolstered by DK Metcalf and Kyle Pitts, still lacks a QB1, with Mason Rudolph and draft pick Quin Ewers as options. Ogunjobi’s outburst, amplified by his six-game PED suspension, questions Khan’s $2 million cap management and Tomlin’s leadership.

He’s burning bridges, but he’s not wrong, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said.

As the Bills prepare for an AFC East showdown, Ogunjobi’s tirade puts Pittsburgh under scrutiny. Watt, facing his own contract talks, now carries the weight of a teammate’s plea to flee a “futureless” team, potentially reshaping the Steelers’ 2025 trajectory.

CEO of Buffalo Bills Declares Ban on Anyone Wearing Shirts Resembling Tyler Robinson and the Teen Who Defaced Charlie Kirk Memorial
CEO of Buffalo Bills Declares Ban on Anyone Wearing Shirts Resembling Tyler Robinson and the Teen Who Defaced Charlie Kirk Memorial Buffalo — In a bold and controversial decision, Buffalo Bills CEO Terry Pegula has announced that any fan wearing shirts resembling those worn by Tyler Robinson, the accused assassin of Charlie Kirk, and the teenager who defaced the Kirk memorial will be banned from entering Highmark Stadium. The rule takes effect immediately and will be enforced at all home games. The decision reflects heightened concerns about symbolism and security in professional sports. After consultations with stadium authorities and team leadership, the Bills concluded that stronger preventive steps were necessary. A spokesperson explained the move as a way to “protect the fan experience and ensure Highmark Stadium remains a safe, inclusive place for all supporters.” At a press conference, Pegula stressed that even the smallest details could spiral into larger problems. He declared:“I don’t know if this is some strange coincidence or a darker plot behind it, but I will not allow it inside Highmark Stadium. A single detail can bring a major disaster. Something is being spread through that shirt.” The announcement sent ripples across the NFL community. Supporters commended Pegula’s decisive leadership, calling it a proactive step to protect fans. Critics, however, argued that banning apparel based on resemblance could create confusion and fuel debates over free expression. Security experts pointed out that the Bills will need transparent enforcement protocols, including visible signage, updated ticketing terms, and proper staff training to avoid inconsistent application. No matter where the public lands on the issue, Pegula’s decree ensures that Highmark Stadium is now at the center of a wider national conversation — where the balance between safety, symbolism, and personal freedom will be tested under the bright lights of one of the NFL’s most passionate fan bases.
