Matt "Money" Smith and Lorenzo Neal break down the tight end market after David Njoku's visit ended without a deal — and make the case that Jonnu Smith is the better fit anyway, given his monster 2024 season alongside Mike McDaniel in Miami. They explain how the Chargers planned to draft a tight end but got priced out as the board ran on them in the second and third round. Money recaps Joe Hortiz's post-draft session, unpacking the team's draft-and-develop philosophy, the trade-back that still landed Akheem Mesidor at 22, and the "blue star" evaluation system behind the Jake Slaughter pick. The guys close by previewing the left guard competition, praising fifth-round DT Nick Barrett, and reminding fans that with $45.8 million in cap space, the Chargers' window is open — and this year has to count.

Could the front office be looking to make big moves like it did last year for Smith, DK Metcalf and Jalen Ramsey? Could Fitzpatrick potentially return to Pittsburgh amid turmoil with the Miami Dolphins? And why are names like Kamren Curl, Logan Hall and Calvin Austin III on our duo's wishlist with NFL free agency looming next week? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

The NFL offseason is heating up and Ryan is breaking down everything that matters — from a blockbuster trade that signals just how expensive this market is getting, to a Packers draft prospect who literally gave scouts his own perfect comp. The Rams sent a 2026 first, fifth, and sixth to Kansas City for 25-year-old Trent McDuffie — Ryan breaks down why it's an all-in move that actually makes sense for LA, and why Chiefs fans shouldn't sleep on that first-round return Aaron Rodgers hits the Pat McAfee Show with zero commitment to the Steelers — and somehow manages to tell the GM not to draft his replacement while still refusing to sign on the dotted line Ryan digs deep on Jonah Coleman, the Washington RB projected right around the Packers' third-round pick who compared himself to Josh Jacobs — and a top draft analyst agreed Free agency release wire roundup: Stefan Diggs, Makai Becton, Jonnu Smith, Max Crosby drama, the Vikings' ongoing cap catastrophe, and Chris Brooks quietly locking in a team-friendly two-year deal in Green Bay Plus — Rashawn Gary posts a Packers sweatshirt on the ground and the internet completely loses it Subscribe, leave a five-star review, and follow Ryan on X @Pack_Daddy for daily Packers and NFL coverage.

Mark and Tom Talk Steelers cutting Jonnu Smith, Pens and Sabres tonight, and more!
On today's Tobin & Leroy show: - Heat take on the Brooklyn 2nd time in 3 nights - Panthers are back on the ice to face the Columbus Blue Jackets. Will Sergei Bobrovsky be with the team after 3pm tomorrow? - Kyler Murray is the hottest QB in the game right now - Jonnu Smith released by the Pittsburgh Steelers - Thursday's Mix Bag - Favorite Thursday game "Goosies or No Goosies"
Now that the Steelers have released TE Jonnu Smith, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson reflect on the trade with the Miami Dolphins that brought him in last offseason.
In hour 4 of The Drive, Phil and Will Petersen take a deep dive into Avalanche and react to their dominant win over the Ducks last night. We react to Mike Evans' comments following his criticism of Gabe Landeskog yesterday. Is Mike fair to call out our other hosts for not including Landy with the criticism of the Avs' power play? We pivot to the Broncos and discuss the running back market around the NFL. Should the Broncos spend big money on a running back like many reports suggest they will? Who are the top RB targets for the guys? We react to a hypothetical trade that would send AJ Brown to Denver and debate if he would be a good fit with the Broncos. Would Brown be worth the headaches and distraction that Brown brought to Philadelphia? We wrap up the show debating if the Broncos should be interested in Jonnu Smith and react to the Nuggets latest injury report.
On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to react to GM Omar Khan's comments at the NFL combine. What should we make of Khan saying he has "no deadline" for QB Aaron Rodgers to return? How important is it for the team to get him signed quickly after Khan indicated he expects a decision from Rodgers sooner than it came in 2025? What are the implications of Rodgers' potential return to a QB room that also includes Mason Rudolph and Will Howard at present? And what impact will Rodgers have on other offseason decisions? Our duo tackles those questions, then weighs potential trade options. Will Khan look to repeat his 2025 blockbuster moves for DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith? Or will this be a quieter spring? Would the Eagles' A.J. Brown be a good fit as a player known to be in the mix to move? Or would the Steelers be better off investing in a younger player in the NFL draft like Jordyn Tyson, Denzel Boston, Makai Lemon or Carnell Tate? And which players will other teams be asking Khan about? Does T.J. Watt top the list? And could others including Ramsey and Patrick Queen merit consideration as well? 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 Monday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo preview the week for the Steelers at the NFL combine in Indianapolis. What are the biggest questions facing GM Omar Khan amid the coaching staff transition from Mike Tomlin to Mike McCarthy? How does the new staff -- which includes OC Brian Angelichio and DC Patrick Graham -- feel about expensive veterans on the roster including Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith and Patrick Queen? Could the team move on from any or all of them this offseason? Could and edge rusher like T.J. Watt, Nick Herbig, Alex Highsmith or Jack Sawyer be on the trade block? And how are things progressing on the QB front, where Aaron Rodgers' future is uncertain and the free agent and trade candidates are lacking beyond names like Malik Willis? Our duo tackles those topics, then details the top prospects to watch from a Steelers perspective at the combine, including Caleb Downs, Jordyn Tyson, Denzel Boston, Makai Lemon, Carnell Tate, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, Dillon Thieneman and more.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to discuss potential winners and losers in the transition between former coach Mike Tomlin's staff to new coach Mike McCarthy's. Could Pat Freiermuth finally see an elevated role at tight end, given McCarthy's success at the position elsewhere? Will he see more targets not only relative to fellow tight ends Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington but other receivers and backs as well? Will McCarthy find ways to use DK Metcalf more effectively? And could an interest in finding a viable No. 2 receiver like USC's Makai Lemon in the NFL draft potentially help in that pursuit? And could Jaylen Warren find better opportunities in the running game in McCarthy is able to open up the pass game more relative to former OC Arthur Smith? Our duo tackles those questions, then analyzes which names may lose prominence. Will Derrick Harmon still be seen as a key piece of the future and the heir to Cam Heyward's role along the defensive line? Or could a coaching change disrupt his development? Will Patrick Queen retain his role as the signal caller of the defense? Or could his contract price him out of that role under new DC Patrick Graham? With other linebackers like Payton Wilson and Cole Holcomb in the fold? And what is Jalen Ramsey's future in the secondary? Are the Steelers willing to pay him elite DB money for an uncertain role? Or could the new staff prefer to build around younger players like Joey Porter Jr. and invest Ramsey's big salary elsewhere? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

On the Monday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react the NFL Week 18 victory against the Baltimore Ravens that clinched the AFC North division and a home NFL playoffs game. Is coach Mike Tomlin's team proving its resilience in the closing weeks of the season and positioning itself as a dangerous foe for the postseason? Has Aaron Rodgers' veteran influence been evident, particularly on offense with names like Kenneth Gainwell, Calvin Austin III, Jaylen Warren, Pat Freiermuth and others? And what T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey and the defense show in overcoming three long touchdown passes from Ravens QB Lamar Jackson? Our duo tackles those questions and ponders what the return of receiver DK Metcalf could mean for Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Jonnu Smith and the rest of the pass catching group ahead of the wild-card playoff game against the Houston Texans next Monday night at Acrisure Stadium.

Host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise react LIVE to the Steelers' NFL Week 18 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens at Acrisure Stadium. This show is presented by FanDuel. Was coach Mike Tomlin's team able to come through and win the AFC North to earn a spot in the NFL playoffs? Was QB Aaron Rodgers able to overcome the absence of receiver DK Metcalf and tight end Darnell Washington and put up points alongside names like Jaylen Warren, Kenneth Gainwell, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Calvin Austin III, Adam Thielen, Scotty Miller, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith? How well were Cam Heyward, Derrick Harmon, Joey Porter Jr, Jalen Ramsey and the defense able to contain Derrick Henry and the Ravens offense? And how did T.J. Watt look in his return from his collapsed lung? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the injury statuses for the likes of James Pierre, Brandin Echols, Calvin Austin III, Isaac Seumalo and of course TJ Watt. We also discuss Patrick Queen winning the team's "Chief" award and Derrick Harmon winning the team's "Joe Greene" award. How important has it been for the future that young players are largely leading the way for the team? Can we see the team use Jonnu Smith & Pat Freiermuth in different ways with the lack of WR options? Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this!

Doug Whaley joins to discuss his Whaley words of wisdom, the perplexing usage of Jonnu Smith, Myles Garretts comments. The rejoin labeled "Crowley diss" was a disappointment. Callas will have some hot new disses upon his return. Three games in Week 18 are massive for the playoff picture, which is what the NFL wants. Will 18 games make injuries even worse? Will the rosters expand? Which coach needs to win more: Harbaugh or Tomlin? Could a Ravens run without Lamar make him look expendable? The Steelers have been gashed by the Ravens running game in the two previous games. Will this time be different? Would the Steelers use TJ Watt as a situational role? If the Steelers lose, will Metcalf's suspension be the biggest reason? How much will the crowd, possibly negatively, affect the game?
On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko preview the NFL Week 17 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. How will OC Arthur Smith and QB Aaron Rodgers navigate their first game without receiver DK Metcalf this season? Can names like Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Roman Wilson and others step up? And what role with tight ends like Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington play in the passing game? Our duo tackles those questions and ponders ways coach Mike Tomlin may handle rest vs. rust if the Steelers have the AFC North clinched for their next two games before the playoffs. They also make their picks for the Steelers' first game against Browns starter Shedeur Sanders. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise react LIVE to the Steelers' NFL Week 14 with the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. This show is presented by FanDuel. Can Aaron Rodgers bounce back from three injury-riddled weeks and make magic on offense aside names like DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, Kenneth Gainwell and Calvin Austin III? What difference will newly activated receivers Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling make for OC Arthur Smith's unit? And will tight ends Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith be more involved? Our duo tackles those questions and ponders the defense as well. Can T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Nick Herbig, Keeanu Benton, Payton Wilson and Patrick Queen do a better job of containing the run? Or will Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry run wild like James Cook of the Bills did last week? And how will Jalen Ramsey and coach Mike Tomlin's secondary perform?

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 team's distribution of reps at tight end between Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith. Freiermuth is the better blocker and somewhat surprisingly, has been the better receiver this year as well. So why does Arthur Smith insist on playing Smith so much? Alan breaks it down.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray said the final 5 games matter a lot in the future of Mike Tomlin, but it would take them losing almost all of them for Ray to put the percentage at like 30% of Tomlin being let go. What has better chances – Aaron Rodgers back at QB or Marcus Freeman as the new head coach? Ray isn't sure how much we see of Adam Thielen on Sunday, but doesn't think it would take all that much juggling. Ray said Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek would see less playing time if Thielen cracks the lineup. Ray is one of the many that are curious as to why Jonnu Smith still gets more snaps than Pat Freiermuth. Poni asked Ray about the failed attempts of building the receiving corps in the last few seasons. Ray gave a little look at the injury report as of today. How bad of a signing was Darius Slay? Ray thinks it is simple for Will Howard seeing game action this season – injuries to both Rodgers and Mason Rudolph. The only caveat could be the team completely falling out of the playoff picture. Ray can't bring himself to picking the Steelers on Sunday.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff talked about TJ Watt no-showing in a game against a pair of backup tackles. When will the Steelers start to use their TEs? Jeff doesn't understand why Pat Freiermuth is being frozen out of this offense, but credits him a ton for taking the high-road in chats with the media. The guys noted how Jonnu Smith wasn't brought up by Aaron Rodgers today in his media session. What happened with the Darius Slay breakup? Jeff talked about what Adam Thielen looked like on his first day, but isn't sure whose spot he takes in the lineup. Jeff doesn't think Marquez Valdes-Scantling has gotten much of a true opportunity to show what he has left. Ravens 28, Steelers 17 is Jeff's prediction for Sunday in Baltimore.
Was Aaron Rodgers a bad signing by the Steelers? His numbers are almost identical to what Russell Wilson did last season. By the way, that team started 10-2 and this one is 6-6. The guys said it's all about how it ends, sighting how poorly last season concluded. Which guy was better? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show.

Host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise react LIVE to the Steelers' NFL Week 13 with the Buffalo Bills at Acrisure Stadium. This show is presented by FanDuel. How did QB Aaron Rodgers look in his return from injury? Did he look like he could have played last week instead of backup Mason Rudolph? Were pass catchers including DK Metcalf, Darnell Washington, Roman Wilson, Jonnu Smith, Pat Freiermuth and Calvin Austin III able to find more space than they have in the last several weeks? Were Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell able to continue their momentum in the backfield? How much pressure were T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Nick Herbig, Patrick Queen and others able to get on star Bills QB Josh Allen? And did Mike Tomlin make enough adjustments with Jalen Ramsey, Kyle Dugger, Joey Porter Jr. and others in the secondary to to avoid domination? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

On the Monday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christipher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to the NFL Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Acrisure Stadium. Did coach Mike Tomlin's team show a lack of fight in defeat? How could the effort level not be an indictment of Tomlin and his coaching staff that includes OC Arthur Smith and DC Teryl Austin? And does this team lack the one clear strength past Tomlin teams have needed to recover from long losing skids? Our duo tackles those questions, plus QB Aaron Rodgers calling out practice and film-watching habits. What does it show about the players' commitment level? Can he still get on the same page with receivers including DK Metcalf, Jonnu Smith, Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin III, Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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 sort through the NFL Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. Why did coach Mike Tomlin seemingly abandon the two-high safety looks that had worked for his defense in recent weeks? What were the "schematic issues" that linebacker Patrick Queen blamed the loss on after the game? And how can Tomlin and DC Teryl Austin get this expensive unit led by T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey, Kyle Dugger, Payton Wilson and others back on track yet again. Our duo tackles those questions, plus backup QB Mason Rudolph's performance in place of injured starter Aaron Rodgers. How did Rudolph show why the No. 2 role is what he deserves? Will Rodgers be able to start next week after not dressing Sunday? And how can either QB get more out of pass catchers including DK Metcalf, Pat Freiermuth, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington?

Host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise react LIVE to the Steelers' NFL Week 12 with the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. This show is presented by FanDuel. Did coach Mike Tomlin make the right call in starting Mason Rudolph over the injured Aaron Rodgers? How did Rudolph do in handling the passing game with DK Metcalf, Jonnu Smith, Calvin Austin III, Pat Freiermuth, Roman Wilson and Darnell Washington? Were Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell effective again in the running game? How much pressure did Cam Heyward, Nick Herbig, T.J. Watt and the Steelers' pass rushers generate on Bears QB Caleb Williams? And to what extent were Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., James Pierre, Darius Slay and the secondary able to keep names like Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore and Colston Loveland in check?

On the Saturday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko look at keys for NFL Week 12 against the Chicago Bears. Can DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith generate more yards after the catch? Regardless of whether Aaron Rodgers or Mason Rudolph is the starting quarterback? Is that the key to this passing game reaching expectations for OC Arthur Smith? And what can be learned from that group's early-season success? Our duo tackles those questions, then makes predictions for whether T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey, Cam Heyward, Joey Porter Jr., James Pierre and the defense can contain a dangerous Chicago offense led by Caleb Williams, Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, Colston Loveland and D'Andre Swift. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to ponder the Steelers' decision to trade WR George Pickens in the offseason. Should GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin have regret about the move, given Pickens' impressive production with the Cowboys? How good would he look next to DK Metcalf and ahead of names like Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson on the depth chart? How would he be meshing with QB Aaron Rodgers? And are the Steelers better off without the attitude headaches Pickens caused at times while in Pittsburgh? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks tight ends. How did Darnell Washington ascend into being the top option for the Steelers at the position? Especially with Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth making big money in 2025? And can he keep up this level of production as teams become more aware of him as an option within OC Arthur Smith's system? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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 react to the NFL Week 11 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals. Can Mason Rudolph handle the job of starting QB for OC Arthur Smith if he's forced to play more amid Aaron Rodgers' injury? How did his connection with receivers including DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, Darnell Washington, Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth look? And what's the latest we know about Rodgers' injury that kept him out of the second half Sunday? Our duo tackles those questions, then pivots to the defense. Has coach Mike Tomlin solved the unit's biggest problem? Why were Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., Kyle Dugger and James Pierre able to have so much success against Joe Flacco, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins compared to a month ago, when that trio dominated the defense in Cincinnati? And how did good work on the back end help guys up front including T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Nick Herbig, Keeanu Benton and others? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On the Saturday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko preview the Week 11 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals at Acrisure Stadium. Have coach Mike Tomlin and DC Teryl Austin made enough adjustments to since the last meeting slow Joe Flacco, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins and the Bengals passing game? Will personnel moves help? From Jalen Ramsey's move to safety to the additions of Kyle Dugger and Asante Samuel Jr.? And will T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Nick Herbig, Alex Highsmith and the defensive front be able to generate more pressure? Our duo tackles those questions. Then ponders whether the Bengals are the perfect opponent for QB Aaron Rodgers and pass catchers Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth, DK Metcalf, Jonnu Smith, Calvin Austin III, Jaylen Warren and Roman Wilson to figure things out against offensively.

On his weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, presented by FanDuel, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko welcomes Cincinnati Enquirer Bengals insider Kelsey Conway to preview the teams' NFL Week 11 matchup. Does the struggling Bengals secondary offer a prime chance for QB Arron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Roman WIlso, Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Jonnu Smith and the passing game a prime opportunity to get back on track? Who will be better in Round 2 of the QB matchup between Rodgers and Joe Flacco, both in their 40s now? And doe Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., Darius Slay and -- possibly -- new face Asante Samuel Jr. have any chance of slowing down J'aMarr Chase and Tee Higgins? Our duo tackles those topics as well as the NFL draft stock of Cincinnati Bearcats QB Brendan Sorsby. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to analyze the team's struggling pass catcher group. Was Calvin Austin III's poor performance in NFL Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers the latest sign that he's not a suitable No. 2 at wide receiver next to DK Metcalf? Does Roman Wilson deserve more snaps in his place as he's found some momentum with QB Aaron Rodgers in recent weeks? Does he have a higher ceiling than Austin does? And what solutions does Chris have in mind for Metcalf? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks tight ends. Why isn't OC Arthur Smith using Jonnu Smith as more of a downfield threat? Will we ever see anything approaching the guy who caught nearly 90 passes a year ago with the Miami Dolphins? Why does Rodgers seem to like throwing to Darnell Washington so much? And where is the happy medium for Pat Freiermuth between the sky-high expectations have for him and his limited role in some games? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
