Newark Star-Ledger’s Art Stapleton said Raiders DC Patrick Graham is a “possible defensive coordinator” for the Steelers.

26 January 2026

Graham worked for Mike McCarthy in Green Bay. The Steelers let all of Mike Tomlin’s staff out of their contracts, so they’ll likely need to fill the role with someone new. It wouldn’t be surprising if Graham was choosing from a few different options — including remaining Raiders defensive coordinator — once all the head-coaching seats are settled. He did interview for the Dolphins head-coaching gig last week before it went to Jeff Hafley, and he had an interview request from Washington a few weeks ago for their defensive coordinator vacancy.
