Matt thinks now it's either buy, or sell Lowe and do nothing. Matt would buy and try to acquire hitting, too.
The first week of Pittsburgh Steelers Training Camp is officially in the books, and there is no shortage of storylines to discuss! On today's episode of State of the Steelers, we're breaking down the biggest takeaways from Week 1 in Latrobe, including Mike McCarthy's early impact on the team, the heated backup quarterback battle between Will Howard and Drew Allar, Aaron Rodgers building chemistry with DK Metcalf, Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard continuing to impress, Asante Samuel Jr.'s standout performances, and much more. We'll also discuss why fans shouldn't overreact to "football in shorts," why getting through Week 1 without any major injuries is a huge win, and what we're watching closely as the Steelers prepare for padded practices. Who has been your biggest surprise through the first week of camp? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
Steelers reporter Nick Farabaugh joins the show. What has Drew Allar looked like so far? Nick said there are some high-level throws, but also times when you ask what he's doing. Nick praised the work of Asante Samuel Jr. in the first few days of camp. Roman Wilson got lauded for his efforts. Nick doesn't think it's a forgone conclusion that Germie Bernard is the WR3 with the camp Wilson is having. Will Howard has had some good and bad on tape to this point. How does everyone feel about the changes made by Mike McCarthy when it comes to practice structure? Nick got into the attention to detail and the work in the trenches. Nick said Joey Porter Jr. has no reason to sign with the Steelers right now since a few corners are currently in the same situation he is in that could drive his price up.
A feel good Friday has people up on Mike McCarthy heading into the season. Or does it? Poni wondered if everyone is just enjoying the breath of fresh air we got once Mike Tomlin announced his departure. What do their playoff records look like side-by-side? Are we really convinced it will be a better year in Pittsburgh because the Steelers are led by a Pittsburgh guy? Donny Football Debrief – What if there was a Big 10/SEC Challenge in college football?

Adam Thielen said it was stressful playing with Aaron Rodgers. If you don't see or understand Rodgers' hand signals at the line that it could make a bad relationship with Rodgers. How does this effect Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard? How much of an impact does a baseball manager have? Joe doesn't think it's that much. Gennings Dunker was with the third team. Drew Allar had an up and down day, but made arguably the best throw of the day.
Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. The Steelers were more in a rhythm today. DK Metcalf had a good day. Aaron Rodgers had a great practice. Will Howard ended practice with an interception. Accuracy and timing are so much different for Rodgers compared to Howard and Drew Allar. Broderick Jones is still looking to add on another 15 pounds.

Drew Allar is one of the last rookie quarterbacks not to sign at this point after Carson Beck and Fernando Mendoza signed. Ray thinks it will be signed before camp begins on Tuesday. Ray thinks Joey Porter Jr. is the Steelers priority to sign an extension and Keeanu Benton is on the backburner. Ray thinks Porter's deal will be signed before week one. Broderick Jones' status remains up in the air and he has not been cleared. Ray thinks Will Howard is "in pull position" to be the backup quarterback.
We wanted to see LeBron play with Steph. The Steelers have signed Drew Allar to a four-year contract. The Steelers have signed all of their 2026 draft picks. The Pirates should trade for other Padres relievers.
Hour 4 with Donny Football: These games are heightened for the Bucs to win and Bob thinks the Pirates can make a move on Chicago. Shota Imanaga is dominant against the Bucs and has only allowed one run. Braxton Ashcraft needs to make adjustments and Pirates broadcaster Bob Walk thinks he needs to throw a couple waste pitches to not allow so many home runs. We wanted to see LeBron play with Steph. The Steelers have signed Drew Allar to a four-year contract.
Ben Roethlisberger has spoken about the backup QB situation and is in line with Mullsy once again. Ben said it's wiser to hold on to the 2 young guns that you don't know about yet, Will Howard and Drew Allar. Obviously, Aaron Rodgers isn't going anywhere, which leaves Mason Rudolph as the odd man out. Ben said he would cut Mason. Steelers reporter Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Where does Ray come down on the QB2 battle as we approach training camp? Ray thinks Mike McCarthy could have Will Howard as prepared as Mason Rudolph entering the season, which would make Rudolph expendable. How much pressure is on Roman Wilson? Ray thinks there will be some on Dylan Cook, who is holding off Max Iheanachor for the starting right tackle spot. What is the future like for Broderick Jones, who may not even be healthy enough to play? The guys got Ray's feeling of the Steelers continuing their training camp at St. Vincent College after all of these years. Total Request Thursday.
Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we talk about the recent ESPN article diving into the issues with the Rooney Rule as it currently stands and how nobody on any side is happy with the way things are going with it. We also dive into Drew Allar remaining unsigned and if that could change with Carson Beck signing, if Jordan Whitehead could make sense to help fill this team's FS void and if Broderick Jones or Dylan Cook could be a trade candidate given the Carolina Panthers tackle situation.

Steelers reporter Ray Fittipaldo is watching Jaylen Warren vs. Ricco Dowdle and Germie Bernard vs. Roman Wilson. More than anything, people want to know about Will Howard and Drew Allar. Ray thinks Drew Allar could exceed expectations and play well, but is seen as the No. 4 QB. Ray thinks Will Howard will start and play close to the whole first half to start the preseason.

Is Germie Bernard by far the most integral rookie from an NFL draft class that also includes Max Iheanachor, Drew Allar, Gennings Dunker and Daylen Everette? How does Jalen Ramsey's role in the secondary look poised to grow? Will Pat Freiermuth finally be unlocked within coach Mike McCarthy's offense alongside QB Aaron Rodgers and receivers DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr.?

7-14 Fan Morning Show 7am Hour Jeff Hatthorn joins the show! Does Jeff have hope that the Pirates make the playoffs? He believes they can make it especially if Paul Skenes pitches better in the second half. He also points out that Braxton Ashcraft is entering uncharted territory regarding innings pitched. Jeff also says he does not care what it costs for someone like Josh Hader or Aroldis Chapman because everything else on the team is there. Who is more likely to be cut: Roman Wilson or Mason Rudolph? Status quo on everything related to Jason Robertson. Could the Penguins offer sheet Connor Bedard? Crowley says that he would not play Mason Rudolph at all in the preseason. Will Howard and Drew Allar should get the majority of the reps because they are the young, drafted players. Kaboly said that Rudolph is going to stay on the roster. Is he right? Quarterback talk in July. Who wants to be smarter than a plumber? South Side Jake apologizes for missing last week's show. I got a hockey question wrong. The guys get one question right. The MLB had the youngest player ever drafted who then actually played for the Pirates in the 1979 season. Dorin still cannot believe that WVU beat Pitt last year. Larry Fitzgerald made comments during a recent interview and buried WVU football. He is normally level headed and has well thought out answers. But he just straight up buried them.
The Pirates have reinforcements coming to the bullpen, but don't get too excited. Tom Harrington is lugging his 7 ERA in Triple A to the majors and Antwone Kelly will join him. The guys going back down? Neither one of them is Dennis Santana, who deserves it more than anyone. Are we past the drama with Carmen Mlodzinski or is that still a cloud over this pitching staff? The MLB Draft starts tomorrow – should the Pirates consider trading their comp pick at 34 overall? Donny Football Debrief – Somehow, Terrion Arnold will likely play for an NFL team next season. This turned into a conversation about The Longest Yard. Steelers reporter Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. Nick agreed with another Steelers reporter in saying the backup QB job is for ‘Will Howard to lose.' Nick isn't sold that we see Aaron Rodgers play at all in the preseason, so we should also see plenty of Mason Rudolph in the 3 games. Nick expects to see ‘a ton' of Drew Allar late next month. Nick thinks the coaching staff absolutely misused Pat Freiermuth last season. Nick thinks we will see Freiermuth used more in this offense because Mike McCarthy has worked with similar TEs in recent seasons. Is TJ Watt definitely on the decline? Nick told fans to not worry about the team having any interest in signing Terrion Arnold. Nick believes we will see Joey Porter Jr. sign his new deal before the start of the regular season. Has Nick ever been in a fight?

Would you rather sign Brandon Lowe or Oneil Cruz? Charlie Batch said the Steelers are not going to keep four quarterbacks. Will Howard and Drew Allar need the reps and to overtake Mason Rudolph. Nick agrees and says the Steelers need to use the roster spot elsewhere.

Will Howard and Drew Allar need the reps and to overtake Mason Rudolph. Nick agrees and says the Steelers need to use the roster spot elsewhere. The Penguins signed forward Egor Chinakhov to a three-year contract worth $6.25 million per season. Joe thinks it's a fair deal. Arturs Silovs is back on a one-year deal.
On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, the Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Christopher Carter ponder how the Steelers' Aaron Rodgers stacks up against other older QBs who won Super Bowls late in their careers. Where does Rodgers rank alongside names like John Elway, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning? Is the roster around him that includes names like T.J. Watt, DK Metcalf, Cam Heyward, Michael Pittman Jr. and Jaylen Warren enough to get him over the top? Especially with a new coaching staff led by Mike McCarthy? Or were those Broncos and Buccaneers teams of the past that lifted those past QBs to glory better than what GM Omar Khan has assembled this offseason? Our duo tackles those questions. Then Chris offers insight on what he's seen from seventh-round NFL draft pick Eli Heidenreich on film. And ponders the future for the rookie class that also includes Drew Allar, Gennings Dunker, Max Iheanachor and Germie Bernard after looking at some of their collect production up close.

July 1, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 157 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 hiring Darian Thompson to be the team's new Assistant Special Teams Coach. Steelers RB Rico Dowdle has a chance at accomplishing a rushing feat in 2026 that no other NFL player has ever done before. Alex and I discuss the specifics related to that run at history by Dowdle and his chances of actually doing so. After thoroughly discussing the Thompson news and the Dowdle feat he can accomplish in 2026, we talk in-depth about nine more players in my annual 90-in-30 training camp preview series. The nine players Alex and I discuss in this episode are CB Brandin Echols, S DeShon Elliott, CB Daylen Everette, OT Troy Fautanu, OC Zach Frazier, TE Pat Freiermuth, TE JJ Galbreath, DT Anthony Goodlow, and DT Derrick Harmon. As part of our discussions about all nine of those players, we give the summer outlook for each and the chances a few of them have at sticking in Pittsburgh once the preseason ends.

We also briefly discuss CB Joey Porter Jr. having yet to sign a contract extension this offseason and QB Drew Allar having yet to sign his rookie contract.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey and Mark Kaboly: The Penguins have made small moves at the start of free agency. Steelers insider Mark Kaboly of The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark thinks the biggest thing to keep an eye on is guaranteed money for Joey Porter Jr. and doesn't think it's that big of a deal right now. Mark thinks Sebastian Joseph-Day will be a good add.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's third-round rookie quarterback Drew Allar, who still has not signed his rookie contract -- the last of the Steelers' 10 rookies that have not yet signed their entry-level contracts, and one of just 10 players from the entire 2026 NFL Draft class that remains unsigned? Of course, that number includes each of the top four quarterbacks taken. So what's going on? Alan breaks it down: Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mark Kaboly isn't that surprised that the NFL isn't holding a NFL Supplemental Draft. Brendan Sorsby will not be able to join the NFL until next year. Where will he play? Mark and Austin think Drew Allar is better than Sorsby. Mark thinks Allar is "head and shoulders" above Brendan Sorsby!
Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Mark thinks the Steelers may have no choice but to cut Will Howard. In his initial projection, Mark has the Steelers keeping three quarterbacks with Howard being released. Mark thinks Mike McCarthy likes to change multiple things with his quarterbacks to match the tendencies he wants to see. Mark and Austin think Drew Allar is better than Sorsby. Mark thinks Allar is "head and shoulders" above Brendan Sorsby!

June 22, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 153 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing a possible training camp battle this summer between Keeanu Benton and Yahya Black for the starting nose tackle job in the team's base defense. We discuss the play of both Benton and Black in 2025 and there could legitimately be a position battle between the two players this summer and especially if the former doesn't wind up signing a contract extension soon. Alex and I also discuss what Benton's 2026 role with the team might ultimately be should he not be the starting nose tackle in the base defense to open the regular season. Additionally, we also discuss if the Steelers might be open to trading Benton just ahead of the regular season getting underway should Black ultimately beat him out of a starting role this summer. On the heels of Alex completing a big book study on Steelers' new offensive line coach James Campen, we discuss a few of his recent findings from his research and the kind of impact we expect him to make on his unit and several individual players. With my annual 90 In 30: Steelers 2026 Training Camp Preview Series now underway as of Monday morning, Alex and I discuss the first set of three players that I wrote about, QB Drew Allar, OG Spencer Anderson, and DT Kyler Baugh.

June 19, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 152 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into the Pittsburgh Steelers deciding to add LB Jacoby Windmon back into the fold on the heels of him playing in the UFL this offseason. We also discuss the Steelers continuing to churn the bottom of their 91-man roster even after the offseason practices last week. As we head into the weekend, QB Brendan Sorsby remains a primary topic ahead of him now looking ahead to the NFL's supplemental draft. The Steelers continue to be linked as one of a few teams that could potentially look to select Sorsby in July. Alex and I discuss the pros and cons related to the Steelers maybe selecting Sorsby in the supplemental draft, what round they might consider doing so, and how drafting him would likely shape the number of quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. Indiana HC Curt Cignetti recently commented on Sorsby and his future so we discuss what he had to say and if his words might resonate any with the Steelers with Frank Cignetti Jr. being a coach on the team. Alex and I also discuss the forever baggage that will be attached to Sorsby no matter which team he ultimately lands with. Will the Steelers send anyone notable to Sorby's upcoming workout for NFL teams? If the Steelers are present for that workout, who from the organization should attend it if the team is seriously considering selecting him in the supplemental draft? We attempt to address both of those questions during this show. After a long discussion about Sorsby, Alex and I recap what former Steelers GM Kevin Colbert had to say about the selecting former QB Kenny Pickett in the first round of the draft several years ago. Colbert still defends the selection of Pickett, and Alex and I wonder if he really should continue to do so. Later in this show, I provide an updated recap of the Steelers' salary cap situation on the heels of the recent transactions made by the team. Alex and I also dive deeper into QB Drew Allar having yet to sign his rookie contract and what that might be. We also go over the brief list of other members of the 2026 draft class that have yet to sign their rookie contracts as well. This 92-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above, and we make sure to answer a few listener emails we have received to close out this show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
