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 the idea that the Steelers are waiting to resolve things with free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers before they negotiate a contract extension for star outside linebacker T.J. Watt. Watt brought the topic of his contract extension into the forefront with his curious social media post, but in reality, the Steelers do not generally talk contact extensions with current players until later in the summer. They deal with trying to re-sign players before they hit free agency, then talk to free agents, then deal with the draft, wrap up second-wave free agency in May, and then deal with their own players in the summer. That's the way they've always done business, and while part of the idea behind Watt's post might have been to develop a sense of urgency with his process, the Steelers not wanting to talk turkey with their defensive star doesn't have anything to do with Rodgers. The Steelers have plenty plenty of salary cap space available to sign Rodgers right now -- well over $30 million -- and they can painlessly make plenty of more with a couple of restructures. That's more than enough money to sign Rodgers now. A new deal with Watt is likely to reduce his 2025 salary cap hit, and could reduce it substantially, so the cap is not at all standing in the way of the Steelers doing business with both Rodgers and Watt.

We're all guessing what T.J. Watt meant by his cryptic Instagram story post with a peace sign. Jason doesn't think Watt should get $40 million but thinks it will happen. $40 million is insane, but money continues to go up the higher the cap continues to increase. What will the Steelers do at running back?

Hour 2 with Jason Mackey: What should the Steelers do in the first round of the NFL Draft? Jason doesn't understand the obsession around quarterbacks in the first round. He doesn't want the Steelers to take Shedeur Sanders or Jaxson Dart. We're all guessing what T.J. Watt meant by his cryptic Instagram story post with a peace sign.

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 the pending contract extension for star outside linebacker T.J. Watt. Watt will almost certainly get a contract extension in the range of the four-year, $160 million contract the Cleveland Browns gave Myles Garrett earlier this offseason. While that seems like a lot, it's actually a smaller percentage of the salary cap than the deal Nick Bosa signed with the San Francisco 49ers in 2023 and represents a bargain for his production. What about a trade? Is it possible to get the kind of value a team would need to trade a player of the caliber of Watt? Alan breaks it down. #steelers #herewego #nfl Learn more about your ad choices.

Ray Fittipaldo from The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette comes on The Fan Hotline to talk to Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson with the NFL Draft about a week away.

We think Watt would be worth a 1st round pick, but local and national insiders think Watt would command a third round pick, maybe a second round selection in the draft. Either Watt is frustrated with the quarterback situation, wants Myles Garrett money, or could maybe want moved.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Where do we stand with the T.J. Watt potential contract dispute? We think Watt would be worth a 1st round pick, but local and national insiders think Watt would command a third round pick, maybe a second rounder if dealt. How important is it for Watt to be a one-helmet guy? Austin thinks it would be very difficult for Mike Tomlin to move on from Watt and end up like how they ultimately signed Cam Heyward.

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson continue to look at the contract dispute situation between the Steelers and LB T.J. Watt. Also, former Penguin Tyler Kennedy comes on The Fan Hotline. April 15, 2025, 8:00 Hour

April 11, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 118 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers having Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders in for a pre-draft visit on Thursday and how that trip to the facility supposedly went. On Wednesday, Steelers OLB T.J. Watt had a post on Instagram that went viral, so we discuss all of the commotion that produced. Alex and I dive into whether Watt really was trying to send some sort of message with that picture that lacked context or narration. We also discuss the likelihood of Watt being trading and him ultimately signing a contract extension at some point this summer. I go over why I believe Watt will sign an extension this offseason as it relates to the Steelers projected cash spending in 2025. We also discuss what Watt might be looking for in a contract extension in both APY and cash flow. The Steelers have three additional pre-draft visitors on Friday, so Alex and I roll over that list of three players. We also total up the number of visitors so far and how many we expect to have come to Pittsburgh next week. We also discuss the Steelers having a pro day dinner at Michigan not long ago and the significance of that. Alex released another positional draft study on Friday and this one revolves around cornerbacks. We go over the one player that checked every box for what the Steelers look for as well as others that just missed the cut by one box. The Steelers seem primed to draft a running back this year, so Alex and I discuss the 2025 draft class at that position. We each name our top fits for the Steelers at that position. What is the value of free agent QB Aaron Rodgers at this point? Alex and I go over an outsiders' value on Rodgers and much more related to him as we wait to see if he'll sign with the Steelers. This 119-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap as well. As usual, we end this episode by answering a few email questions we have received from listeners of the show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mike Tomlin is still waiting on a 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers to make up his mind. This isn't how the Pittsburgh Steelers drew it up, and that's part of the problem. There hasn't been much drawing up of plans at the quarterback position.Now, T.J. Watt is unhappy? Oy vey. The Steelers' best player took to Instagram on Wednesday to post a picture of himself flashing a peaceout sign. Such is protocol for disgruntled pros. He's got one year left on his contract. He sees other edge rushers like Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby cashing in. And no doubt, Watt sees the Steelers backing up the Brink's truck for a wide receiver who's never played a down for the team in DK Metcalf.Nobody attacks their profession quite like Watt. The seven-time Pro Bowler has every right to be pissed off at the moment. Watt was the DPOY in 2021 and finished No. 2 in the voting in two other seasons.On this week's Substack Live, we take a quick look at the state of affairs.Is there any hope?

On the Friday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko react to T.J. Watt's cryptic Instagram post this week and reports from some national sources that contract negotiations with the linebacker may have hit some snags. Is it too soon in the process for fans to be concerned? Or is there a genuine chance Watt could leave the team that drafted him in 2017? Does Watt deserve to get paid like fellow defensive stars Myles Garrett, Maxx Crosby and Micah Parsons? And should coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan consider a trade of Watt if they feel an extension can't be reached? Our duo tackles those topics, then talks about the defensive tackle class in the NFL draft following Oregon star Derrick Harmon's visit this week. When will other top prospects at the position like Kenneth Grant and Walter Nolen make visits to the team? Then in the third segment, the guys wonder whether the Steelers have brought enough receiver and cornerback prospects to Pittsburgh as they look for answers next to DK Metcalf and George Pickens on offense, plus Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay on defense.

After the midday show started the T.J. Watt-ch yesterday there is a new update coming from a Pittsburgh radio station saying that Watt's trade value may only be a 3rd round pick?!

In hour 3, the WIP midday show covers the news that T.J. Watt is reportedly unhappy with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the contract negations with the Steelers.

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 the idea that the team and T.J. Watt are at some kind of a contract impasse. Watt ramped up speculation that something might be amiss with a cryptic Instagram post on Wednesday. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network said on Thursday that could mean things aren't going well in negotiations between the team and Watt on a long-term contact extension. Watt is entering the final season of his contract, and with Myles Garrett re-setting the edge rusher market at $40 million per year, he is likely due for a significant raise. But general manager Omar Khan said he is hopeful the Steelers will be able to sign Watt to an extension. Could there really be trouble brewing? Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices.

Crowley, Dorin and Bostik speculate on T.J. Watt's peace sign post. Jeff Hathhorn says there could be something there.
