Clint Stoerner and Ron "The Show" Hughley discuss if the #2 cornerback position is an area of concern. Are the Texans good to go with Jeff Okudah, CJ Henderson and Kamari Lassiter?

The Atlanta Falcons locked up former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins on a four-year, $180 million contract on the opening day of the NFL's "legal tampering" period. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down his best guesses for the terms of the deal to see if it really boils down to a two or three-year contract to see how long the team might be committed to Cousins. Later, he looks at ex-San Francisco 49ers tight end Charlie Woerner, who also signed with the Falcons on Monday, to discuss how he can provide a significant boost to the team's blocking, run game, and special teams. Finally, he looks at cornerback Jeff OKudah's departure to the Houston Texans and whether or not the available pass-rushers on the free-agent market have truly dried up. Part of the @LockedOnATL Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

The Tennessee Titans will be making big changes to their secondary this offseason. Looking for a coverage safety to pair with Amani Hooker will be key and Geno Stone has a previous relationship with multiple Titans. It continues with adding two cornerbacks in free agency. Without the top names hitting the market some bargain options like Chidobe Awuzie and Jeff Okudah could be good fits. Finally, the Titans brought back long snapper Morgan Cox and should consider bringing back Nick Folk as well. Follow Tyler on Twitter @TicTacTitans Follow the show on Facebook @LockedOnTitansPod Subscribe to the Locked On Titans YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnTitans/videos Subscribe to the TicTacTitans Film Channel:https://www.youtube.com/@TicTacTitans Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

The Steelers have cut Patrick Peterson. What do you make of his time in Pittsburgh? The Steelers secondary is looking very light, so keep that group in mind on Monday. Poni said he has 3 names to watch for in free agency.

In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to discuss dream NFL free agency targets for the Steelers. Players who are unlikely to sign here but who could fill major positions of need if GM Omar Khan is willing to take an all-in type of gamble. Does Post-Gazette insider Gerry Dulac's pick of Chiefs standout Chris Jones make the most sense if he avoid the franchise tag? What about other front-seven options like Leonard Williams, Christian Wilkins, Josh Allen, Jonathan Greenard, Patrick Queen, Chase Young and Za'Darius Smith? Would it be a successful offseason if corners including Jaylon Johnson, Brian Burns, Kendall Fuller, L'Jarius Sneed or Jeff Okudah were the only major acquisitions? Or could the offense use the boost of a receiver like Mike Evans or a center like Andre James? Our duo tackles those topics, as well as Diontae Johnson's trade value; coach Mike Sullivan's job security amid the Penguins' recent futility; Pitt basketball's March Madness chances after a blowout loss to Wake Forest; Penn State trustees' attempts to name the field at Beaver Stadium after Joe Paterno; and the Pirates' lackluster development regime under GM Ben Cherington.

The Atlanta Falcons cornerback play was up and down throughout the 2023 NFL season. Top cornerback A.J. Terrell struggled a bit with allowing too many explosive plays while Jeff Okudah had a rough November. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down the areas and aspects that Terrell, Okudah, and Clark Phillips must improve upon to get better production from this position group in 2024. He also breaks down whether or not this offseason is the right time to extend Terrell's contract and how much should his price tag be. He also breaks down the revolving door opposite Terrell at outside cornerback, and why Okudah and Phillips may not be the preferred options to become a “door stop.” Aaron also breaks down why Phillips' zone coverage ability might be valuable in a zone-heavy scheme employed under new head coach Raheem Morris and defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake. He looks ahead to the offseason and discusses if the Falcons are poised to find a long-term solution at outside cornerback in free agency or the draft, and whether Okudah, Tre Flowers, and Mike Hughes are poised to return.

DP is joined by Daniel Harms of RGR Football & NFL33.com to discuss the 2020 NFL Draft class. There are a few players entering make-or-break seasons. Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is the MOST important player on the roster. Can he stay healthy to lead them to the promised land? Also in the AFC East, the New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton has dealt with his share of injuries. Is 2023 the year he uplifts the Jets' offensive line? With Aaron Rodgers under center and the NFL featuring them on Hard Knocks, the pressure is building for the former top-15 pick. Lastly, can former top-5 pick Jeff Okudah finally live up to the hype? Paired with Atlanta Falcons CB1 A.J. Terrell and safety Jessie Bates, Okudah can help form a secondary to help win the NFC South.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!birddogsGo to birddogs.com/LOCKEDONNFL or enter promo code LOCKEDONNFL for a free Yeti style tumbler with your order. You won't want to take your birddogs off we promise you.eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Charles Robinson & Charles McDonald recap the latest news from around the NFL, including the Jeff Okudah trade and concerning news around Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell. Later, the duo dive into their biggest risers and fallers in the 2023 NFL Draft.00:35 - Detroit Lions trade CB Jeff Okudah to the Atlanta Falcons for a fifth-round pick. It's a fresh start for Okudah, but the compensation seems low for Lions. This is a big miss for Detroit, but the Falcons may have gained a starting cornerback for cheap.11:50 - Arbitration has been filed against Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwell. The allegations are very concerning, and Bidwell's reputation as an owner could be a big reason why the Cardinals organization continues to struggle year after year.24:15 - New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley has refused to sign the franchise tag so far as he pursues a long-term deal. Charles Robinson thinks this situation represents how the entire NFL now views running backs. Even elite RBs like Barkley will have a very hard time getting paid going forward.35:30 - Florida QB Anthony Richardson has been one of the biggest risers of the 2023 NFL Draft, as his athletic testing blew teams out of the water. Charles McDonald wonders if QBs could go in each of the first four picks this year.40:40 - Is Georgia QB Stetson Bennett a riser in this draft? Neither host loves Bennett as a prospect, but the QB had a lot of buzz after a positive performance at the combine.48:10 - Georgia DL Jalen Carter fell throughout the draft process, but how far? Both hosts agree that at the end of the day, Carter will likely end up being picked close to where he was originally projected. Carter is too good of a prospect to pass on.57:25 - Notre Dame TE Michael Mayer may be a faller in this draft not through fault of his own, but because the tight end class around him has impressed throughout the athletic testing process.Please support Terez Paylor's legacy:• Buy an All-Juice Team hoodie or tee from BreakingT.com/Terez.

JP Finlay, Mitch Tischler and Pete Hailey have one finalized trade and one potential trade to cover in this Beltway Football installment. First, they look at the deal between Detroit and Atlanta involving Jeff Okudah, who was drafted one slot after Chase Young in 2020. Does that swap matter at all to Washington and Young? From there, they discuss Bucs linebacker Devin White, who's apparently unhappy with his situation in Tampa. Is that a guy the Commanders ought to go after? Lastly, Pete welcomes on Jeff Ermann, who has covered University of Maryland sports for years and kindly passes along all you need to know about cornerback Deonte Banks, who might be appealing to Ron Rivera and Jack Del Rio. If you like podcasts where karma comes for Mitch and JP provides a scintillating update of his spring break, then this is the episode for you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
