On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to analyze the team's moves with its 2023 NFL draft class. Are new deals for LB Nick Herbig and TE Darnell Washington a sign of how much GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy believe in that group over the long run? Will Joey Porter Jr. and Keeanu Benton also get new deals this summer? And if so, will those players form the team's new core of stars, replacing the old guard led by Aaron Rodgers, T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey and DK Metcalf? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders the defense's future. How long will it remain the highest paid unit on that side of the ball in the NFL? Will the spending outlast the tenures of names like Ramsey, Watt and Heyward in Pittsburgh? Or will spending start flowing more to the offensive side of the ball and names like Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick, Zach Frazier, Jaylen Warren and others who could be up for new contracts in the next couple of years?

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to discuss coach Mike McCarthy's old-school ideas for tight ends Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth. Can a 1990s-style role within the offense work for that duo with Aaron Rodgers at QB and an improved set of pass catchers including DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Germie Bernard, Roman Wilson and Jaylen Warren around them? And how capable is the current roster of playing that more physical style of the past? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks QBs and how pivotal this summer could be for Will Howard as he looks to prove he deserves consideration for the QB2 role next to Mason Rudolph and Drew Allar.

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, the Post-Gazette's Christopher Carter and Noah Hiles digest a busy week of moves from the Steelers and their AFC North rivals. Did GM Omar Khan invest too much in depth players like Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington with extensions this week? Considering their lower depth chart status behind names like Alex Highsmith, Pat Freiermuth and T.J. Watt? Or do these moves set Khan up to potentially make some trades as he looks to bolster the roster around Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Jaylen Warren, Cam Heyward and others? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders the implications of the Myles Garrett trade. Should Khan be more aggressive like the Rams if the goal is to compete meaningfully for a Super Bowl in 2026? Where does this deal leave the Cleveland Browns? And how will the absence of Garrett within the division impact the Steelers' playoff chances? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On the Thursday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, the Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Christopher Carter react to news that the Steelers are re-signing Darnell Washington to a long-term contract extension. Was this deal a good one for GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy? Or will that depend upon how they use Washington alongside other receiving options like DK Metcalf, Germie Bernard, Michael Pittman Jr., Pat Freiermuth and Jaylen Warren? Is it a surprise that this deal got done before Joey Porter Jr.'s or Keeanu Benton's? And how does this deal impact those negotiations? Our duo tackles those questions. Then takes stock of the team's EDGE rusher situation following Nick Herbig's extension earlier in the week. Could the move necessitate a trade of Alex Highsmith or T.J. Watt before the season? And is the term still investing too heavily in a defense that isn't producing dominant results? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to preview some of the top storylines for the team's minicamp this week. Does Roman Wilson hold the key to the success of the wide receivers group this year? Can he help the group be dominant alongside DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard? Or will he hold the offense back by struggling to find a consistent connection with QB Aaron Rodgers within coach Mike McCarthy's offense like he did last season? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders which players may hold in and not practice with the team this week. Will names like Nick Herbig, Joey Porter Jr., Jaylen Warren and Jalen Ramsey finally make appearances? Or could they be looking for something contractually ahead of training camp next month?

Can Kaleb Johnson overcome his special teams gaffe that landed him in former coach Mike Tomlin's proverbial dog house and prove that he belongs in the backfield alongside Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle?

And how will new coach Mike McCarthy use tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington? Our duo ponders those questions. Then analyzes Payton Wilson's ability to help teammate Patrick Queen shore up communication from the middle linebacker spot and chart a future for that position group with Queen's contract status uncertain past 2026.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Ray Fittipaldo and Brian Batko recap the introductory news conferences for coach Mike McCarthy's new lieutenants: OC Brian Angelichio, DC Patrick Graham and STC Danny Crossman. How will Angelichio handle the uncertainty at QB with Aaron Rodgers still yet to sign and Will Howard and Mason Rudolph under contract? How will he juggle duties with McCarthy calling the plays? And what are his plan for a unit that includes known quantities like Jaylen Warren, DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth in addition to a young offensive line built around Mason McCormick, Broderick Jones, Zach Frazier and Troy Fautanu? On defense, what will Graham preserve about the unit's signature 3-4 defensive scheme under Mike Tomlin? And what might he change up as he inherits contributors like T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., Cam Heyward, Derrick Harmon and others? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What will he have to say about Aaron Rodgers with the QB still yet to sign as the starter ahead of Will Howard and Mason Rudolph? How will he use players like Jaylen Warren and DK Metcalf? On defense, how closely will Graham be able to mimic the scheme Dick LaBeau, Keith Butler and Teryl Austin have presided over for most of the last 25 years? And what are his plans for Jalen Ramsey? Our duo tackles those topics, then explains why Drew Allar, Emmanuel Pregnon, Keylan Rutledge, Jordyn Tyson, Bryce Lance, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren and Dillon Thieneman are NFL draft prospects they're willing to "bet a beer" on as potential Steelers picks.

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the latest Steelers draft visits of the week, with Penn State guard Vega Ioane being the biggest name. Are GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy narrowing their focus on a player who could fill one of the team's biggest needs following the departure of Isaac Seumalo? Or are they simply doing their due diligence? And how would Ioane fit alongside fellow young linemen like Broderick Jones, Mason McCormick, Zach Frazier and Troy Fautanu? Paul tackles those questions, then ponders the visits of Iowa guard Beau Stephens and Ohio State tight end Will Kacmarek and what their additions could mean for the offense alongside stars like DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, Michael Pittman Jr. and Pat Freiermuth.

On the Saturday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to sort through the week in mock draft picks for GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy's team from around the internet. Why does it seem like there's very little consensus forming around the team's biggest needs at a national level? Is that a function of Mike Tomlin's departure? Or the numerous needs of the roster beyond stars like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Joey Porter Jr., DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, Michael Pittman and others? The guys ponder those questions, then talk about some mock draft picks on an individual level. Could T.J. Parker make any sense at EDGE? Or are the Steelers well stocked there with Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig and Jack Sawyer joining Watt? Is Jake Golday worth looking at as a potential run-stuffing middle linebacker next to Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson? Would Emmanuel Pregnon be worth trading up to select as a Day 2 guard? How genuine should the interest in Emmanuel McNeil-Warren be after his visit this week? And how should we interpret Denzel Boston's own stop at the team's facility? Is the front office really considering another big, outside-oriented receiver? Or is it trying to throw other teams off about its interest in inside-outside types like Makai Lemon, Jordyn Tyson and Omar Cooper Jr.? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On the Thursday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Ray Fittipaldo and Christopher Carter ponder the lack of obvious first-round talent among prospects who've visited the team ahead of the NFL draft. Why haven't GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy welcomed more top receivers like Makai Lemon and defenders like Emmanuel McNeil-Warren? Could we still see possible first-round targets like Dillon Thieneman and Omar Cooper Jr. visit the South Side facility? And who are some other names Chris and Ray would like to see before the April 15 deadline to conclude visits? Our duo tackles those questions. Then ponders McCarthy's involvement -- or lack thereof -- in the draft process. Has he been hands-on in looking to add talent alongside stars like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, DK Metcalf, Joey Porter Jr., Jaylen Warren and Michael Pittman Jr.? Or has he been more focused on building the coaching staff alongside OC Brian Angelichio and DC Patrick Graham?

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to comments from new coach Mike McCarty and GM Omar Khan at the NFL owners meetings. What should we make of the duo's emphasis on finding both an offensive identity and quarterback to match the rugged nature of the AFC North in November and December? How should we analyze the additions of Michael Pittman Jr., Rico Dowdle, Jamel Dean to join a roster led by T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Jaylen Warren, DK Metcalf, Pat Freiermuth, Joey Porter Jr. and Jalen Ramsey in that context? And what could it mean for the NFL draft? Our duo tackles those questions, plus the QB situation. Are the Steelers OK with proceeding without Aaron Rodgers if he decides to retire? Turning to either Will Howard, Mason Rudolph or some other external option? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to grade the team's NFL free agency class in new coach Mike McCarthy's first year working with GM Omar Khan. Was Rico Dowdle replacing Kenneth Gainwell a good swap? Despite Gainwell's productive 2025 alongside Jaylen Warren? Is there risk with Jamel Dean being the long-term answer opposite Joey Porter Jr. because of his age? And how well does Michael Pittman Jr. balance DK Metcalf? The guys ponder those moves as well as more minor ones for Asante Samuel Jr., Jaquan Brisker, Darnell Savage, Sebastion Joseph-Day and Travis Homer. Then later, they take stock of the group as a whole. To what degree does it keep the current team relevant as it seeks an elusive playoff win while names like Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey and -- potentially -- Aaron Rodgers? And how does it set them up for the longer term as they potentially look to repeat the success of drafting Ben Roethlisberger in 2004 come the loaded NFL draft QB class of 2027? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to react to the latest rumors casting uncertainty about Aaron Rodgers returning as QB in 2026. Do Charie Batch, Mike Garafolo, Andrew Siciliano and others have good reason to be skeptical of Rodgers' future in Pittsburgh? Because of money, his own interest or the team's via GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy? Or is this just the latest round of noise associated with the QB and his protracted decision making process? Will we get a decision before the NFL draft next month? And if not, what impact will that have on Will Howard, Mason Rudolph and potential draft QB options including Drew Allar, Cole Payton, Garrett Nussmeier, Carson Beck and others? Our duo tackles those questions. The Brian dishes on his trip to Columbus for Ohio State pro day, where he got an up-close look at prospects including Sonny Styles, Caleb Downs, Kayden McDonald, Carnell Tate and Arvell Reese. And where he got to speak to former Steelers OC Arthur Smith about his tenure.

On his weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko welcomes Sports Illustrated's Noah Strackbein to answer viewer questions.

How does Johnson fit in the backfield with Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle ahead of him on the depth chart? And has Benton shown enough to be a long term piece of the defensive line next to Cam Heyward, Derrick Harmon and Yahya Black? The guys tackles those questions; react to Mike Tomlin flirting with a possible TV gig; and field questions about Will Howard as he maps his own career amid the likely return of Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph around him in 2026.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to preview the NFL owners meetings from the team's perspective. How much would a proposed rule change allowing teams to trade picks up to five NFL drafts out help or hurt GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy in their pursuit of a franchise QB? Would they have a better chance of landing a top name from the 2027 draft class that includes Arch Manning, Dante Moore and others? Or could it lower the overall value of picks in the trade market as the Steelers consider alternatives to Aaron Rodgers, Will Howard and Mason Rudolph? And what would the guys like to hear from Khan, McCarthy and owner Art Rooney II at the meetings? Our duo tackles those topics, then reacts to the signing of running back Travis Homer and the implications it may have for Kaleb Johnson as he searches for touches behind Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo analyze the team's moves in NFL free agency last week. Is physicality a point of emphasis for new coach Mike McCarthy with Michael Pittman Jr. and Rico Dowdle joining names like DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and others on offense? Will the Steelers' size be an advantage, whether Aaron Rodgers, Will Howard or someone else is the quarterback? Or could they struggle to win athletically? Our duo ponders those questions, then analyzes the Jamel Dean signing. Is he the long-term running mate for Joey Porter Jr. that this defense has been seeking? How will he fit alongside others like Jalen Ramsey and DeShon Elliott? And should the Steelers still be looking at CB options in the draft with Dean's 30s rapidly approaching?
