Joe doesn't think that Will Howard has what it takes to be a franchise quarterback. He would be ok losing Howard to another team. Gerry Dulac of the Post-Gazette reported that Howard and Drew Allar will be on the roster. It feels like a lock Mason Rudolph will also be on the team. Bob would not be surprised if Howard ends up on the practice squad. Joe thinks Drew Allar is significantly more talented than Howard and would elevate him to the third quarterback to work with all season.
If the Steelers decide to roll with Mason Rudolph instead of Will Howard, could they get anything for Howard in a trade? Gerry Dulac doesn't think there is a prayer that Howard gets ‘anything' back in a trade. The guys pointed to a few times in history where we've seen mostly unknown QBs fetch something in return. Chris aligned himself with Gerry because he doesn't think Howard is worth any pick from any team. Can they just hide Howard on the practice squad?

The guys joked with Dan about some of the calls he got the other day during a rain delay. Dan expects Carmen Mlodzinski to get a few more starts, but he has not performed well after moving back to the rotation. Long term – Dan doesn't think Mlodzinski will be anything more than a reliever, where he performs his best. Oneil Cruz is back in the lineup tonight. What is the fair expectation for Cruz as the season rolls to a finish? Dan would be surprised if Paul Skenes was down to his final start of the season, which is tomorrow afternoon. Donny Football Debrief – Roger Goodell doubling down and then some when it comes to NFL expansion into international markets.

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 discuss colleague Gerry Dulac's reporting on the Steelers' contract negotiations with Joey Porter Jr. Is there a chance the two sides won't reach an agreement on an extension before the season? How much is Porter Jr. realistically worth compared to other top corners like Patrick Surtain II, Derek Stingley Jr., Trent McDuffie and Sauce Gardner? And do the Steelers need him in their secondary with veterans like Jamel Dean and Jalen Ramsey aging and young players like Daylen Everette still finding their way? Our duo tackles those questions. Then later, Chris details his research on how realistic Mike McCarthy's goal of 55 touches per game can be for skill players including DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Jaylen Warren. And he explains how he feels Robert Spears-Jennings fits into Patrick Graham's defense following his most recent film study on the PG website. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
