On a special Thursday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko joins host Adam Bittner to analyze the team's receiving options following the acquisition of Jonnu Smith. Will OC Arthur Smith use the tight end more as a WR2 behind DK Metcalf? Given that Smith put up big receiving options last year with the Miami Dolphins? How will his presence impact the target share for guys like Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson and Robert Woods? And can we put talk of signing free agents like Amari Cooper, Keenan Allen, Gabe Davis and Allen Lazard to rest with Smith in the fold? In the second segment, the guys talk safety options. Could GM Omar Khan try to sign one before training camp, with names like Justin Simmons, Julian Blackmon and Marcus Williams still available via NFL free agency? How much will Jalen Ramsey himself fill the void left by Minkah Fitzpatrick? What are reasonable expectations for Juan Thornhill? And what happens to the safety group if DeShon Elliott gets hurt. Our duo tackles those topics, plus some quick-hitters in the third segment. Have the Steelers really been doing things much differently under Khan? Or have they been more aggressive for a while now without perceptions of them keeping u[? Will Aaron Rodgers get any benefit from working with his receivers this week in Malibu, Calif.? And what should fans want to hear from Ramsey at his introduction?

It's episode 350(!), and Britt and Craig are powering through the June heat with cold drinks and hotter takes.

The Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Jason Mackey size up the NFL free agent wide receiver market now that Aaron Rodgers is officially in the fold for the Steelers as QB. Should GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin be targeting Amari Cooper as one of the biggest names remaining? Allen Lazard as one of Rodgers' personal favorites? Or could they still convince Keenan Allen to come to Pittsburgh to play alongside names like DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson and Robert Woods? Our duo tackles those topics, as well as Jason's column on why Rodgers is the most important person in Pittsburgh sports right now. Then the guys pivot to hockey ahead of the NHL draft later this week. Should GM Kyle Dubas look to trade up? Or hold onto both of his first-round picks? Could he move draft capital to add firepower around Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang? Move out bad contracts to guys Erk Karlsson, Ryan Graves and Tristan Jarry? Or could names like Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust be on the trade block? Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, Adam and Jason analyze recent hot streaks for players including Spencer Horwitz and Nick Gonzales. Are they sustainable in the long run or just the latest flashes in the plan? Could those two guys preserve GM Ben Cherington's job by playing well? What should manager Don Kelly do with the struggling Oneil Cruz? Why is Bubba Chandler having trouble in the minors? And should Andrew McCutchen have a roster spot with this team next year if he continues to perform?

In hour 4 of The Drive, Phil and Richie react to the Nuggets front office’s comments on working around the margins of the team. Knowing they will likely not make a big move in the draft or free agency, what are the marginal moves the team needs to make? Will we see growth from the Nuggets young players in Peyton Watson, Julian Strawther and Jalen Pickett? What are the chances that Michael Porter Jr. is on the Nuggets roster when the season starts? . We react to the leaked documents detailing the contract negotiations for Russell Wilson’s extension with the Broncos. Did the Penners prove once again they are the right ownership group for the Broncos? We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen joining the show to discuss Will’s article suggesting the Broncos sign Keenan Allen.

The Chicago Bears' offseason moves have set the stage for potential breakout performances. Caleb Williams stands to benefit greatly from an improved offensive line and new weapons like Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze. D'Andre Swift could see a resurgence behind a revamped O-line, while Cole Kmet may thrive in Ben Johnson's tight end-friendly system. Defensively, Montez Sweat and Jalen Johnson are poised to excel under new coordinator Dennis Allen. The Bears' coaching staff exudes confidence in their edge rusher rotation and running back room, despite fan concerns. Will these offseason changes translate to on-field success? Tune in for an in-depth analysis of the Bears' most intriguing position battles and potential breakout candidates heading into training camp.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/ChiBearsCentralGet at us:Email: ChicagoBearsCentral@gmail.comTwitter:@ChiBearsCentralPhone: ‪(773) 242-9336‬Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Antonio Brown is in Dubai and authorities are waiting for him to return to the United States in an attempted murder investigation. Authorities believe Brown attempted to shoot a man who tried to rob him. The Miami Herald says detectives have been in contact with Brown's attorney. The Steelers need to find a wide receiver and Bob thinks they should sign Keenan Allen.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Antonio Brown is in Dubai and authorities are waiting for him to return to the United States in an attempted murder investigation. The Steelers need to find a wide receiver and Bob thinks they should sign Keenan Allen. Brian Batko is not ready to say Kaleb Johnson will be a star. Brian thinks DeShon Elliott had a strong 2024 and wasn't the problem for the Steelers.

On the Monday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo ponder coach Mike Tomlin's future with Aaron Rodgers now in the fold at QB. Does he have the institutional support from owner Art Rooney II and GM Omar Khan to coach past this season, regardless of what happens with Rodgers? Or could follow names like Mike McCarthy of the Green Bay Packers and Robert Salah of the New York Jets in being fired for to reach expectations with the future Hall of Fame QB at the helm? Later, the guys analyze the team's situation at receiver following minicamp. Are Roman Wilson and Calvin Austin III showing signs that they can be productive behind DK Metcalf on the depth chart? Or should the team still consider signing veterans like Keenan Allen, Gabe Davis and/or Amari Cooper? Then in the third segment, Chris and Ray explain how special teams coach Danny Smith is approaching the NFL's ever-changing kickoff rules.

Sonic Truth Season 8, Episode 11: Cody Carpentier and The Podfather from PlayerProfiler pinpoint the best players to acquire in dynasty trades before the NFL season begins. Ladd McConkey is Keenan Allen-plus. Debating Marvin Harrison's dynasty potential. Justin Herbert is a top target in 1-QB dynasty leagues. JJ McCarthy is destined for greatness. Drake London is worth hoarding. Jayden Reed is a fantasy mystery. --

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Ray Fittipaldo and Brian Batko recap the final practice of the team's minicamp at its South Side facility. They discuss coach Mike Tomlin's comments with reporters -- in which he did rule out a training camp holdout for star pass rusher T.J. Watt amid protracted contract negotiations. Later, our duo ponders which moves GM Omar Khan could make before training camp, possibly adding CBs like Jaire Alexander or Jalen Ramsey. Or receivers like Keenan Allen and Gabe Davis.

Jonathan Jones from CBS Sports reported that the Steelers are ‘low-balling' other teams to acquire an extra pass-catcher. It could be a WR or TE. According to a Tik Tok post by Keenan Allen, he won't be a Steeler. The guys went through a few other teams/players that the Steelers should have their eyes on if they want to go for it. If the Steelers are serious, why not up the price? The guys said there are moves the Steelers made this offseason that could make them look really smart or really stupid.

The guys said there are moves the Steelers made this offseason that could make them look really smart or really stupid. – Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve reacted to the Steelers finally signing Aaron Rodgers and how that raises the ceiling for the Steelers. He talked about a few things Rodgers falls in love with and a few things he sometimes will refuse to do. Steve said Rodgers didn't have a ton of trust in his receivers last season. The Steelers are at odds with TJ Watt in terms of a new contract – the guys asked Steve what should happen between both sides. Steve believes they should lock up Watt for a few more years at market value. Steve said the Jets offensive line was OK and was not as bad as everyone will tell you. Steve said the Steelers still have 2-3 big question marks on their own offensive line and you can't just assume it will be a good group. Steve said bringing back Justin Fields did have some upside for the Steelers, but there's no guarantee in that. Steve told the guys he does like this plan a little bit better than the team going big money for a player like Geno Smith or Sam Darnold. – An Oakmont check-in with Jeff Hathhorn.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Brian Batko and Ray Fittipaldo report from the second day of the team's minicamp at its South Side facility. They recap Arthur Smith's press conference. What did Smith have to say about the popular notion that he and Russell Wilson didn't get along late last season due to Smith not allowing his quarterback to change plays at the line of scrimmage? How does he plan to utilize new weapons like Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf, going so far as to say they didn't bring those guys in to run the wishbone? The guys tackle those questions, then take a deeper look at the offense in general. What will Rodgers' wide receivers look like behind Metcalf. Will Roman Wilson or Calvin Austin III take over that WR2 spot? Or will the Steelers add another receiver via free agency or trade, like Allen Lazard or Keenan Allen? Will the offensive line, including Troy Fautanu and Broderick Jones, be able to step up and protect the 41-year-old future Hall of Famer?

Hour 3: Poni reacts to the bargain deal Aaron Rodgers signed with the Steelers. Is another star wide receiver about to come to Pittsburgh? And did Poni ruin Dom's Debrief?

And who is the greatest play-by-play announcer of all time?

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 the team's signing of QB Aaron Rodgers, which finally became official on Thursday. Does OC Arthur Smith have the secret to unlocking the former NFL MVP's full potential? Does he have enough weapons to work with in the form of receivers DK Metcalf, Cavlin Austin III, Roman Wilson; tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington; and running backs Jaylen Warren and Kaleb Johnson? Or will the team still need to add outside names, possibility including Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper? How much sway will Rodgers hold in the organization? Will Smith defer to him in playcalling? Will coach Mike Tomlin include his thoughts in the game plan? And will he have GM Omar Khan's ear regarding possible roster moves? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders whether this team now has what it needs to compete with the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens to compete atop the AFC.

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. The guys broke down the acquisition of Aaron Rodgers that finally happened. How much better does he make the Steelers? Poni called out Mark for thinking Russell Wilson was also the answer last season. What will Rodgers do differently? Mark thinks the addition of someone like Keenan Allen makes them a threat to win the AFC North. More w/ Mark – Should the Steelers call the Falcons about Kyle Pitts? It didn't work for him when Arthur Smith was the Falcons head coach, so would it work if he's the Steelers offensive coordinator? Mark says the idea of trading for Terry McLaurin is the Brandon Aiyuk saga all over again. More w/ Mark – Is Aaron Rodgers still going to appear on the Pat McAfee Show every week? Poni wanted a review of the ‘Next Up on The Fan' from last night. What if Rodgers never happened and Mason Rudolph ran the show for the full season? Will Rodgers throw for 30 TDs next season?

The Compas are looking to help free agents find new homes or maybe even old homes. They point out the ten best remaining free agents where their new team could be in 2025.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. He gives his thoughts on news that former Buffalo Bills WR Gabe Davis is set to visit the team this week. Is he the right WR2 to play next to DK Metcalf instead of the traded George Pickens? Would Roman Wilson and Calvin Austin III be able to push him for time? How will he mesh with QBs Mason Rudolph and Will Howard? Or possibly Aaron Rodgers? And would GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin be correct to pursue him instead of names like Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper, who are also available? Paul tackles those questions and more.

On today's episode of The Bill Barnwell Show, Nate Tice joins the show to discuss the Miami Dolphins engaging in trade conversations with the Pittsburgh Steelers involving Jonnu Smith, whether Aaron Rodgers will land in Pittsburgh, and if Jalen Ramsey makes sense in Dallas.

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko ponder WR2 options for GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin following the George Pickens trade to the Dallas Cowboys. Should the team sign a big name like Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper or Gabe Davis to line up across from DK Metcalf this season? Should they make a trade for a name like Allen Lazard if Aaron Rodgers follows through on signing to play QB? Or should they look internally to names like Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson and Robert Woods? Our duo tackles those questions, then offers reactions to the team's 2025 schedule -- released this week -- that includes a tough late-season stretch against the Bills, Ravens and Lions.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to GM Omar Khan's comments about his receivers at rookie minicamp over the weekend. Does he really believe in the group as constituted, following the trade of George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys? Could Roman Wilson, Robert Woods and Calvin Austin really provide the necessary production behind DK Metcalf? Is Khan sending more smokescreens with an eye toward free agents like Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper? Our duo tackles those questions and more from rookie camp. What should we make of Will Howard's impressive practice performance? Can he push Mason Rudolph and possibly Aaron Rodgers come training camp? Or be a starter for this team in the future? And what difference will Trey Sermon make in the backfield next to names including Kaleb Johnson, Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren?
