May 13, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 135 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers now being scheduled to play the New Orleans Saints in Paris, France in Week 7 of the 2026 regular season. We discuss how that game is likely to upset most fans of the Steelers and especially those that live in the southeastern part of the United States. The Steelers waived CB Cory Trice Jr. on Tuesday with a failed physical designation so we discuss that transaction and how the team's former seventh-round selection out of Purdue never could shake injuries since he was drafted. The Steelers added a new center after their rookie minicamp took place last weekend, so Alex and I discuss the addition of Greg Crippen out of Michigan and the corresponding roster move. Steelers OT Broderick Jones was photographed taking part in the team's Tuesday Phase 2 activities, so Alex and I discuss how that should be taken as a positive at this point of the offseason. On the heels of the Steelers signing K Chris Boswell to a four-year, $28 million contract extension on Monday, Alex and I discuss that transaction and everything we know about the new deal up until this point. Steelers GM Omar Khan talked briefly about other contract extensions that could take place this offseason during a recent podcast appearance, so Alex and I parse all that he said on that topic. With Steelers TE Darnell Washington being a strong candidate for an offseason contract extension, Alex and I dive deeper into what his APY market value seems to be at this point. Alex recently ranked the Steelers' top offseason moves to date, so we roll through those and where he had each one listed.

May 11, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 134 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers getting six of their 2026 draft class members signed to their rookie contracts over the weekend. We also talk about timelines related to the Steelers getting the remaining four members of their draft class signed to their rookie contracts. The Steelers held their annul rookie minicamp over the weekend so with that event now being completed, Alex and I give our main takeaways and things that stood out to us on Friday and Saturday. Alex and In begrudgingly discuss the latest news and non-news related to QB Aaron Rodgers, who was supposedly back in Pittsburgh over the weekend. Alex and I also discuss a few things that Steelers HC Mike McCarthy had to say on Saturday. Additionally, we go over the post that Alex wrote this weekend on McCarthy's quarterback class video that was posted several years ago when he was with the Green Bay Packers. The first Sunday night regular season game of 2026 will feature the Dallas Cowboys playing the New York Giants, so Alex and I quickly discuss that news. We also talk about the Steelers possibly opening their 2026 regular season at home and if we might see the Houston Texans being their opponent in Week 1. Alex and I have an extended discussion about the Steelers DT Keeanu Benton during this show when it comes to him possibly signing a contract extension this offseason. We discuss an exp[ended APY this offseason for Benton and whether we both think the Steelers will ultimately get a deal done with him this summer. We also discuss whether Benton might be wise to bet on himself in 2026 in hopes of getting a huge payday next March as an unrestricted free agent. Later in this show, Alex and I discuss Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson and the possibility of him being cut or traded right before the start of the 2026 regular season.

May 8, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 133 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this delayed Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the initial jersey numbers for the Pittsburgh Steelers 2026 draft class that have now been announced by the team. We also make sure to caution that several of them might change by the start of the regular season. The Steelers have now also released their 2026 rookie minicamp roster for this weekend, so Alex and I quickly parse that list of 40 players and what sticks out overall as it relates to it. Might P Ryan Stonehouse, who is one of the several tryout players this weekend, be a serious candidate to get signed after this weekend? We discuss his brief NFL history and how he seems like a potential logical candidate to compete against Steelers P Cameron Johnston this summer. There have been quite a few updates regarding QB Aaron Rodgers since Thursday morning, so Alex and I pour over all of them. We discuss Rodgers reportedly being set to come to Pittsburgh this weekend for starters. We then go over what Steelers GM Omar Khan had to say to Chris Mack on Friday morning when it comes to Rodgers' current whereabouts. We also discuss the Friday morning reporting from Mark Kaboly on Rodgers and how he will possibly not visit the Steelers this weekend at all. Alex and I go over what a fair base market value for Rodgers should be this offseason and if contract discussions might be playing any role in him not yet re-signing with the Steelers. Al in all, we make it known that there's probably a good chance that nobody really knows where Rodgers is currently as far as his current location, decision-making process, and timeline. Much later in this shorter show, Alex and I begin speculating on the current market value of Steelers DT Keeanu Benton, who many think has a great shot at signing a contract extension this offseason. We go over a list of comparable players to Benton right now and the current market values of each. We will continue this conversation on Benton on the Monday show. This 33-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we are sorry that technical difficulties resulted in it being shorter than usual. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

March 6, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 132 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the recent transactions made by the Pittsburgh Steelers. We speculate the seriousness of the recent injury sustained by DB Daequan Hardy that landed in on the Reserve/Injured list on Tuesday and how TE Joaquin Bell now fits back on the offseason roster since he was re-signed. With the recent speculation and rumblings related to QB Aaron Rodgers possibly landing with the Arizona Cardinals this offseason in lieu of him re-signing with the Steelers, Alex and I go over that topic. We address what a Cardinals beat writer had to say on Tuesday about that possibility and also quickly go over what new Arizona HC Mike LaFleur had to say about Rodgers during his recent interview with Jim Rome. In the middle of this Wednesday show, Alex and I conduct our annual post-draft roundtable session with several of the sites draft content contributors. This means that we are joined Wednesday morning by Ross McCorkle, Joe Clark, Josh Carney, Tom Mead, Jake Brockhoff, and Ryan Paglia as we look to get more extended thoughts from each on each of the 10 selections that the Steelers made during the 2026 NFL Draft.

Alex has recently completed profiles on two of the undrafted free agents recently signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers, K Laith Marjan and DT Kevin Jobity Jr., so on the heels of those being published, we discuss what he learned about both players. Now that we have fully looked at and learned a lot about each of the members of the Steelers 2026 draft class, Alex and I give our expectations for each player when it comes to their rookie seasons. We spend a lot of time talking about QB Drew Allar and KR/WR Kaden Wetjen during this segment as well. With there being a lot of talk right now about the Steelers potentially signing OLB Nick Herbig to a contract extension this offseason, Alex and I discuss how it might be in his best interest to bet on himself in 2026.

May 1, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 130 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers and their decision to not pick up the fifth-year option on OT Broderick Jones this offseason. We also discuss whether that decision would have been different had Jones not gotten injured last season. Steelers WR Roman Wilson is reportedly changing his jersey number this offseason, so Alex and I go over that news in addition to a few other number changes that have apparently been made so far this offseason. In the middle of this show, Alex and I go over the latest salary cap update for the Steelers on the heels of the team's draft haul and the unrestricted free agent tendering of QB Aaron Rodgers. We also discuss the effective future salary cap space the Steelers now have and if the team will ultimately need to restructure a contract or two later in the offseason. With the annual NFL draft now behind us, Alex and I discuss the loud consensus draft board discussions going on right now. Is the consensus board a real thing? Who says so and what evidence is there that most NFL teams use it? We attempt to address those questions. Alex and I also discuss the Steelers and their need to start drafting and developing better, as evidenced by the team's top 10 cash earners for 2026 as of May 1. Steelers HC Mike McCarthy has had a few radio interviews since the draft has ended so we highlight a few of the notable things that he said during a few of them. Is new Steelers RB/WR Eli Heidenreich indeed the team's best seventh-round draft pick of all-time? Steelers team president Art Rooney II sure seemed to indicate that during a recent television interview, so we discuss what he had to say about the Navy product much later in this show.

April 29, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 129 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers and the recent roster moves the team has made. We discuss DL Dean Lowry deciding not to sign just yet and the Steelers cutting WR/QB John Rhys Plumlee on Tuesday. We also discuss the roster total number entering Wednesday. The Steelers surprised a lot of people on Tuesday when they placed an unrestricted free agent tender on QB Aaron Rodgers. Because of that move, Alex and I discuss the who, what, when and where related to the transaction. We attempt to clarify everything related to the tender and how it relates to the compensatory draft pick formula. Alex and I also discuss how Rodgers might take the tender transaction in addition to us building a short list of teams that might potentially consider signing Rodgers before July 22. Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette seems pretty convinced that the Steelers won't go into the regular season with young quarterbacks Will Howard and Drew Allar as the only two backups behind Rodgers should he ultimately re-sign with the team. We give our thoughts on what Dulac said on the topic during the middle of this show. Later in this show, Alex and I reveal our initial 53-man roster predictions for the 2026 season now that the draft has concluded. We highlight our few differences and go over our reasons for them.

We discuss convictions and wants related to perceived draft value.

April 24, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 125 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers selecting OT Max Iheanachor out of Arizona State with their first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. We discuss what the Steelers are getting in Iheanachor, his strengths and weaknesses, and how he probably fits in positionally on the offensive line as a rookie. Alex and I discuss what Steelers GM Omar Khan and HC Mike McCarthy both had to say about Iheanachor following the selection of the tackle in the first round. We also discuss whether OT Troy Fautanu will shift over to the left side at some point as well as the future of OT Broderick Jones moving forward into the coming season. The Steelers were poised to select WR Makai Lemon out of USC with their first-round selection and even had him on the phone prior to the Philadelphia Eagles trading ahead of them to snatch the wide receiver before Pittsburgh was officially on the clock. We discuss the overall process that led to Lemon being snaked via a trade with the Dallas Cowboys and how it makes Pittsburgh's front office look bad overall. The Steelers seemed to use most of their clock time before turning in their selection of Iheanachor so we discuss what may have led to that. We talk about the Steelers failing to trade up one spot for Lemon and then apparently not being able to trade back in the first round after the Eagles picked the wide receiver. Alex and I discuss the importance of looking at what happened Thursday with separate views as it relates to Iheanachor and the overall process that led to him being their selection.

That means we discuss DB Treydan Stukes, an Arizona product, following his visit to Pittsburgh on Wednesday. We go over Stukes' fit in Pittsburgh and when he is most likely to get drafted. After reviewing the final list of the Steelers' pre-draft visitors for 2026, Alex and I spend some time talking about whether the team will select a quarterback this year and how soon if they do. We also discuss how many other teams are likely to select a quarterback during the first four rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft and if that might impact the Steelers when it comes to them waiting to select one until after the fourth round. The Steelers made their three new coordinators, Brian Angelichio (OC), Patrick Graham (DC), and Danny Crossman (STC), available to the media on Friday morning and on the heels of those sessions, we discuss a few notable things that were said by each of the three coaches. Alex conducted a live mock draft on Thursday night, and he streamed it on YouTube. Additionally, several listeners took part in it as GMs of other NFL teams. We discuss the team that Alex was able to draft for the Steelers during that four round mock and we go over a few takeaways that were learned from it as well.

Next, we discuss the idea of trading up (and down) in the draft, and why that is likely to happen with the Steelers owning 12 picks. Last, we talk about some lesser-talked about first-round options for the Steelers and whether or not Pittsburgh will break it's pre-draft visitor trend this year.

WR Omar Cooper Jr. isn't going to be on the Steelers' pre-draft visitor list this year, so we go over that bit of news and what that likely means for his chances of being the team's first-round pick this year. Alex recently posted version 3.0 of his offseason mock draft series so with that, we review the 12 selections he has for the Steelers. We also make sure to plug our upcoming livestreamed mock draft that Alex will be running on Thursday night.
