Adam Crowley, Dorin Dickerson and Pat Bostick briefly discuss this hypothetical and how realistic of an idea it is.
The biggest surprise for Mark is the Steelers likely putting Will Howard on IR. Mark would keep Howard active and wouldn't be good for him to miss a month and hop on the moving train. Mark doesn't think there wouldn't be interest in Diontae Johnson. He thinks Marquez Vandes-Scantling is a Mike Williams type of guy.
The MMQB's Albert Breer joins Afternoon Drive on The Fan. He talks about how the Kenny Pickett trade impacts the Browns QB room, why Diontae Johnson didn't make the roster, the latest with Quinshon Judkins, and more.
Live around 5 p.m. Eastern, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to a couple of former Steelers getting moved by the Cleveland Browns. What's next for QB Kenny Pickett after he was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders? Are his dreams of starting in the NFL again doomed after losing the competition with Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders with the Cleveland Browns? Or can he find his way in a Raiders QB room that includes Geno Smith and Aidan O'Connell? And what's next for Diontae Johnson after he was cut by the Browns? Could his NFL career be over after he was traded by the Steelers last offseason and has now failed to find a home with four teams since? Paul tackles those questions and more.
The Penguins are bringing back their Hall of Fame for the first time since 2013. The Steelers cut DeMarvin Leal, who was a five-star prospect in high school but couldn't find a spot in the NFL. Corliss Waitman will be the punter and the Saints reportedly asked about trading for him. Cleveland moved on from Kenny Pickett and Diontae Johnson.
Nick Wilson and Jonathan Peterlin give a look at the wide reciever room, and wonder if Diontae Johnson will make the team.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, the Post-Gazette's Christopher Carter and Adam Bittner react to Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers announcing his intent to retire after 2025. Is he serious? Or is there still room for him to return if things go well? And would GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin even want him back as they look toward a long-term solution at the position in the form of top NFL draft prospects like Arch Manning, Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava, Cade Klubnik and Garrett Nussmeier in the NFL draft? Our duo tackles those questions, then analyzes players stepping into important leadership roles. Can Zach Frazier be a true foundation for the offensive line and aid in the development of players like Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick? And will DK Metcalf bring a professionalism to the WRs room that's lacked in recent years from names like Antonio Brown, Chase Claypool, Diontae Johnson and George Pickens?

The guys share airport stories. And does Dom need to lower his voice?
There has also been some former Steelers WR drama. George Pickens backed out of a youth camp he had scheduled last minute and has been replaced by, friend of the show, Pat Freiermuth. Diontae Johnson explained why he got suspended by the Ravens last year. It's laughable.
The Pirates are already down 4-0 in a Paul Skenes start and it has been accompanied by some ugly baseball. Mullsy said this game feels like a microcosm of how the two organizations are put together. Nick Gonzales had a horrendous attempt of a throw-home. The Brewers have several players that would be the Pirates best player. There has also been some former Steelers WR drama. George Pickens backed out of a youth camp he had scheduled last minute and has been replaced by, friend of the show, Pat Freiermuth. Diontae Johnson explained why he got suspended by the Ravens last year. It's laughable. Chris is tired of the Steelers wide receiver narratives that we hear every single year. Donny pointed out why everything happening with Diontae Johnson will only strengthen them. Is it ironic that they changed things up and traded for DK Metcalf this offseason? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Chris wanted to ask Mike about the reports of collusion in the NFL in regards to guaranteed contracts. Mike said a lot of it was about the Deshaun Watson contract, in which the Browns gave him $230M guaranteed. Mike explained how just days after the Watson deal was signed, the NFL and the owners wanted to work together on not making the high-level guarantees the norm. Mike dove into some of the other details and how Russell Wilson is involved. Mike drew a comparison between an NFL collusion case and pro wrestling when it comes to fan impact. Mike hopes that people understand this is a pretty big deal – the biggest collusion case in pro sports in about 30 years. Mike said it will only become a bigger deal if the players make it that way. On the heels of the Aaron Rodgers comments yesterday, Mike doesn't think it would be smart to do his weekly Pat McAfee Show hit this year if he isn't interested in attention. Mike said Rodgers knows that his mystique will get people talking about him.
Nick and Jonathan are joined by Zach Harper of The Athletic. Then, they react to Diontae Johnson comments about Kenny Pickett, and JP gives out his weekly ‘Peterlin Pass.'
Nick and Jonathan react to Diontae Johnson saying the Browns will roll with Kenny Pickett this season.
The Browns are giving wide receiver Diontae Johnson a chance to revive his career after a 2024 season that saw the former Pro Bowler bounce around, unable to stick with a team. Johnson spoke for the first time since signing with the Browns on Wednesday and Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe reacted to it on Wednesday's minicamp recap podcast. They also talked about Shedeur Sanders getting some second-team reps ahead of Dillon Gabriel, something we haven't seen yet to this point, and how much it matters. They wrap up the podcast by talking about Joe Flacco and the vibes around him as he's back in Cleveland and having fun.

We've completed our first 12-team, 3-WR, PPR mock draft since the conclusion of the NFL Draft and we've got some major takeaways (2:10) including the strength of the running back position compared to wide receiver, and it's even stronger now that Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton, RJ Harvey and the other rookies have been added. We also have a lot of news and notes (10:30) on George Kittle, JK Dobbins and Diontae Johnson among others ... Let's review the mock draft starting with Round 1 (19:50) which does include Jeanty. Should he go before Puka Nacua and Nico Collins? Then we're on to Round 2 (25:30) and Round 3 (28:50) as Travis Hunter comes off the board. Was that too early? In Round 4 (31:00), we begin a run of rookie RBs but also we might be seeing a dropoff at the WR position ... We look at Rounds 5 (39:30) and 6 (47:40) and debate TreVeyon Henderson vs. Harvey. Plus, the rookie tight ends were drafted too early. And we finish by taking a look at most of the rookies (52:00) who were selected in this mock draft and what we think of the value. Cam Skattebo vs. Jaydon Blue, when to draft Tre Harris, how to draft Jaguars RBs and more ...

Then they shift to the NFL Draft with thoughts on some of the eye-catching drafts around the league, and how the AFC North performed.After the break in Part II, they shift to a rapid-fire on Jared's thoughts on the Browns outcomes with discussions on each selection and it is being framed.
