We are now deep into offseason noise season, and Garret Price brings in Jagger May to sort out what actually matters. With Rich Dotson and Matt O'Hara out, the show turns into a real-time litmus test for free agency moves, especially the ripple effects that change dynasty values before rookie drafts. The headline is Jaylen Waddle landing in Denver, and the guys break down what it means for Courtland Sutton and the rest of the receiver room. They also question how much this really changes the outlook for Malik Willis in Miami, since the Dolphins now have extra picks and feel locked into adding pass catchers in the draft. From there, they pivot into teams most likely to add a real wide receiver, plus the “next tier” of teams where it is less certain. They also run through backfield winners and losers after moves involving Travis Etienne, Kenneth Walker, Tyler Allgeier, J.K. Dobbins, Kenneth Gainwell, and Rico Dowdle, with a blunt note on Trey Benson. The tight end segment closes it out with quick fantasy reactions to signings including Isaiah Likely, Daniel Bellinger, and Travis Kelce. 00:00 Start 01:11 Jaylen Waddle Fallout 08:11 Malik Willis Outlook 09:35 JJ McCarthy's Situation 12:59 Teams That Need WR Help 31:43 FFPC 32:53 RB Moves and Impacts 39:05 TE Signings and Fantasy Impact Start Using the Film Room Today!

We also examine the impact of notable departures like Calvin Austin, Isaac Seumalo, Kenneth Gainwell, and James Pierre. From there, we dive into what's next for Pittsburgh: What should the Steelers still target in free agency? Where are the biggest remaining roster holes? And which positions offer the best value moving forward as the draft approaches? We zoom out to look at the big picture of the Steelers' roster build, why everything now hinges on one quarterback decision, and how smart value moves could shape the rest of the offseason.

In this episode, we share our initial reactions to the latest Pittsburgh Steelers offseason moves and discuss what they could mean for the team heading into the 2026 NFL season. The Pittsburgh Steelers made several notable additions this offseason, including wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., running back Rico Dowdle, cornerback Jamel Dean, and safety Darnell Savage. Pittsburgh also retained several of its own players by bringing back cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., linebacker Cole Holcomb, and punter Cameron Johnston. We break down how these roster changes affect the team, discuss which additions could have the biggest impact, and look at what positions Pittsburgh may still address next. We also touch on the departures of guard Isaac Seumalo, cornerback James Pierre, and running back Kenneth Gainwell. Fan Questions Want to be featured on the show?

On this episode of JT Sports Live JT breaks down the biggest moves from Day 1 of NFL Free Agency including the Miami Dolphins signing Malik Willis, the San Francisco 49ers landing Mike Evans, and the Carolina Panthers giving Jaelan Phillips a massive contract. JT goes through the most shocking deals across the league, highlighting signings like Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs, Travis Etienne to the Saints, Tyler Linderbaum to the Raiders, and Tua Tagovailoa joining the Falcons. He also looks at which contracts already look like massive overpays versus potential steals with players like Wan'Dale Robinson, Odafe Oweh, Devin Bush, Kenneth Gainwell, and Tyler Allgeier changing teams.

Alan Saunders calls in to recap the Steelers busy day one of free agency including bringing in Michael Pittman and Jamel Dean, and losing Kenneth Gainwell and James Pierre.
On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to analyze the team's move on Day 1 of the "legal tampering" period ahead of NFL free agency. What kind of replacement will Rico Dowdle be for Kenneth Gainwell within coach Mike McCarthy's offense? Will he be the No. 1 running back over Jaylen Warren? Or will they split carries? What does the signing mean for Kaleb Johnson following a disappointing rookie years? What will Michael Pittman Jr. add to the receiver group across from DK Metcalf? And how does Jamel Dean bolster the secondary next to Joey Porter Jr., Asante Samuel Jr. and Jalen Ramsey? Our duo tackles those question, then ponders widespread trade rumors involving Patrick Queen. Could GM Omar Khan really be looking to move on from him after he showed improvement in 2025? What could the Steelers reasonably use Queen's cap space on if they moved on from him at this stage? And where would Queen's potential departure leave the middle linebacker group that includes names like Cole Holcomb, Payton Wilson and Malik Harrison? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to react to the Steelers big trade for Indianapolis Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr. Is he exactly the type of player they needed as a No. 2 wideout opposite DK Metcalf? Did GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy do the right thing in giving Pittman a rich contract worth close to $20 million per season? What impact will this deal make on Khan's draft plans? Specifically as it pertains to selecting a receiver from a loaded class that includes names like Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson, Denzel Boston, Makai Lemon and Omar Cooper Jr.? Should we make anything of the Colts choosing the younger Alec Pierce for an extension over Pittman? And what impact might this move make on Aaron Rodgers' willingness to return? Our duo tackles those questions and offers thoughts on other moves around the NFL involving James Pierre, Kenneth Gainwell, Malik Willis and others. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise welcomes Steelers insider Christopher Carter to react to the first day of the so-called "legal tampering" period ahead of NFL free agency. Specifically, they offer thoughts on major moves for Jamel Dean and Michael Pittman Jr. from GM Omar Khan and new coach Mike McCarthy. How much can Dean help the secondary across from Joey Porter Jr. at cornerback? What's next for Jalen Ramsey if Dean gets most reps outside? Where does Asante Samuel Jr. fit into the picture after re-signing earlier in the day? And could the Steelers still select a cornerback in the NFL draft next month. On the receiver front, how complete is the Steelers' group with Pittman joining Metcalf? Do they still need to land a big draft name like Denzel Boston, Jordyn Tyson, Makai Lemon or Carnell Tate? Or is Roman Wilson enough? Our duo tackles those questions, plus departures from names including Kenneth Gainwell and James Pierre. 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 start of the so-called "legal tampering" period of NFL free agency. Did GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy make the right move in bringing back Asante Samuel Jr. at cornerback alongside other secondary options including Joey Porter Jr. and Jalen Ramsey? Could James Pierre be the next player to return to the defensive back group? And what will happen with names like Aaron Rodgers, Kenneth Gainwell, Calvin Austin III, Isaac Seumalo and others? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders moves on the trade market. Are the Miami Dolphins set on rebuilding after cutting Tua Tagovailoa and trading former Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick? And if so, could Jaylen Waddle be a potential trade target for the Steelers? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Oneil Cruz hits another home run in the World Baseball Classic. Mitch Trubisky is signing with the Titans. James Pierre is signing a two-year, $8.5 million deal. Kenneth Gainwell signed a two-year, $14 million deal with the Buccaneers. Joe thinks Gainwell getting a two-year, $14 million deal is fair, would have been ok paying him more to stay in Pittsburgh.
Joe thinks Kenneth Gainwell getting a two-year, $14 million deal is fair and would have been ok paying him even more to stay in Pittsburgh. We ALL would have kept Kenneth Gainwell for just $7 million per season. The Steelers have finally added a No. 2 wide receiver. Michael Pittman Jr. brings a valuable receiver to the Steelers to play with DK Metcalf.

Vikings Cap Reset, RB Plans, and Jonathan Greenard Trade Buzz — Darren Campbell and Dave Stefano discuss the Vikings' 2026 reset after an aggressive 2025 spending spree, detailing how restructures and a T.J. Hockenson contract rework (saving over $5M and making him a free agent after 2026) helped reach cap compliance. They expect cuts or failed trade attempts involving Aaron Jones Sr., Jonathan Allen, and Javon Hargrave, note Ryan Kelly's retirement, and predict a bargain-focused free agency similar to 2022, citing Eric Wilson and Isaiah Rodgers as recent value signings. They analyze the running back room with Aaron Jones likely gone, Jordan Mason needing a complementary back, and potential targets like Rachaad White or Kenneth Gainwell plus an earlier RB draft pick. The show centers on trade rumors around edge rusher Jonathan Greenard, reportedly seeking a raise, with Minnesota possibly targeting at least a second-round pick, affecting depth and draft needs. They also cover QB rumors involving Geno Smith and Kyler Murray, Carson Wentz chatter, and the Vikings tendering breakout DT Jalen Redmond. 00:00 Cap Reset Overview 01:51 Show Kickoff and Chat 03:08 Getting Cap Compliant 06:03 2025 Spending Fallout 09:10 Bargain Free Agency Plan 13:15 Hockenson Contract Rework 15:13 Draft Ripple Effects 18:41 Running Back Room Revamp 20:48 Mason Role and Limitations 23:26 Value RB Targets and Draft 28:44 Theme Three Begins 29:29 Trade Buzz Around Jonathan Greenard 34:11 What Greenard Is Worth 36:01 Depth Chart After a Deal 40:19 Division Trade Talk 42:17 Free Agency Timeline Watch 43:05 Quarterback Carousel Returns 46:31 Geno Smith Fit Concerns 50:29 Carson Wentz To Jets 51:40 Jalen Redmond Tender News 53:08 Redmond Extension Debate 56:52 Free Agency Expectations 58:35 Wrap Up And Sign Off Fan With Us!

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive and react to the news of the day in the Avalanche trading for Nazem Kadri and bringing him back to Colorado. Should we be concerned with the Avalanche trading away many of their draft picks over the next few years or is it too important to try and capitalize on their championship window? How much pressure is on Avs coach Jared Bednar to finish the job and lead this team to a championship? We react to Mike Klis' article in which he suggest the Broncos could avoid spending huge money on a running back and go for cheaper options in Kenneth Gainwell or get a rookie in the draft. Zach shares his opposition to this and why the Broncos need to fix their running back issues with a heavy hand. We wrap up the show with Zach sharing about the fundraiser he participated in last weekend and our reactions to Nazem Kadri's comments after the trade back to Colorado.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray could foresee Aaron Rodgers giving the Steelers an answer off-the-record like he did last year as this thing could string out for another year. Ray admitted that some of Rodgers' comments yesterday made the situation a little bit more ‘murky.' Ray doesn't expect this to be a question mark until June again this time around. Ray isn't sure how likely it is that any of the outside free agents would come in and be the Steelers QB. Ray talked about the chances Will Howard and Mason Rudolph have to steer the ship. Ray reminded the guys that they will not give Howard the keys without having seen him in any game action. The guys noted that Jacoby Brissett, despite a 1-11 record last season, had numbers eerily similar to Rodgers in 2025. Ray thinks Kenneth Gainwell will explore his market in free agency after winning team MVP. Chris gave Ray some WR names to pick from and he chose Romeo Doubs, thinking he'd be around $15M/year player. How much would the Steelers have to offer Calvin Austin to get him back? Ray said the versatility of Jalen Ramsey allows the Steelers to explore multiple avenues when it comes to the defensive backfield this offseason. Which WR is the best in this draft? Ray is surprised there wasn't more news around Carnell Tate running a 4.52 40-yard dash. Ray thinks WR is the first move the Steelers make on Monday, either via trade or free agency.
We are 1 day away from the NHL Trade Deadline as the surprise Penguins are all of the sudden a buyer. But how big of one? Will the Pens go after someone as notable as Vincent Trocheck? We may see Kyle Dubas take it slow and not go overboard, even though the Pens need center help. Shane Wright was a name we broached – a center with the Kraken that is freshly 22-years-old and had 44 points last season. What should the Penguins do with Evgeni Malkin? The guys think it only makes sense to re-sign Geno after the season if he plays well and helps this team make it to the playoffs. Did Kyle Dubas already have another plan in his mind about Malkin before the Penguins season played out? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show.

Mullsy is duking it out with someone from the McAfee Show. He's tired of the dough-eyed optimism surrounding Will Howard before he ever throws a pass in the NFL. Poni is giddy because the more and more he thinks about it, the more he feels like the Steelers may not be held hostage here and maybe they are the side that isn't interested in another go with Aaron Rodgers. What other options are out there? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. What did Jeff make of the Aaron Rodgers interview today with McAfee's guys? Jeff still believes the Steelers choice is to have Rodgers be their starting QB next season. Could money be a hold up here? Jeff doesn't get the feel that Malik Willis has a lot of smoke around him from the Steelers. Jeff said the focus from the team may be on 2027, but then what about Will Howard? Jeff recapped his week at the NFL Combine. He said Mike McCarthy loves QBs the way Jon Gruden does and every rookie prospect is going to have high praise after their meetings. Jeff doesn't see the Steelers going QB in the 1st round and could be counting on Ty Simpson slipping. Jeff expects Kenneth Gainwell to test the market and Isaac Seumalo to be gone once the legal tampering begins at noon on Monday. How are the Steelers going to attack WR? Jeff thinks CB could be an early selection in the draft. Judge Donny – Should the Steelers offer Malik Willis a 3-year, $70M deal?
ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi went back to what she said a month ago – a small chance that Aaron Rodgers comes back in 2026. Aditi thinks it may have been a call for Rodgers telling the Steelers to come get him and that he may not be the one in charge this time around. She said he spoke so highly of the team and coaches, but made sure to note that he doesn't have a deal on the table. Aditi spoke to members from a coaching staff today that are interested in Rodgers' services. Aditi doesn't think they have anything to lose if they go the Will Howard route. Aditi wondered if the Steelers will just hit the reset button and go with Howard. Aditi couldn't confidently answer if Rodgers will play – or play somewhere that isn't Pittsburgh. The guys ran through some WR that got freshly cut or could be available when we enter the new league year. Aditi doesn't think the price will be as high for Kenneth Gainwell as we may think just because of the market for RB.

Jeff expects Kenneth Gainwell to test the market and Isaac Seumalo to be gone once the legal tampering begins at noon on Monday. How are the Steelers going to attack WR? Jeff thinks CB could be an early selection in the draft.
ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi went back to what she said a month ago – a small chance that Aaron Rodgers comes back in 2026. Aditi thinks it may have been a call for Rodgers telling the Steelers to come get him and that he may not be the one in charge this time around. She said he spoke so highly of the team and coaches, but made sure to note that he doesn't have a deal on the table. Aditi spoke to members from a coaching staff today that are interested in Rodgers' services. Aditi doesn't think they have anything to lose if they go the Will Howard route. Aditi wondered if the Steelers will just hit the reset button and go with Howard. Aditi couldn't confidently answer if Rodgers will play – or play somewhere that isn't Pittsburgh. The guys ran through some WR that got freshly cut or could be available when we enter the new league year. Aditi doesn't think the price will be as high for Kenneth Gainwell as we may think just because of the market for RB.
There are a few theories out there as to what is going on with Aaron Rodgers. Is he going to come back? Someone from our YouTube section suggested a thought that Rodgers may not be dictating terms here.

On the Tuesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to analyze which pending free agents GM Omar Khan and new coach Mike McCarthy may want to keep for 2026. Will Kenneth Gainwell be the top priority? How much might it cost to keep him in the backfield next to Jaylen Warren and Kaleb Johnson? How closely aligned will he be with Aaron Rodgers' future? And what are the options at guard with Isaac Seumalo and the guard position? Is there still a chance he could return next to younger teammates like Broderick Jones, Mason McCormick, Zach Frazier and Troy Fautanu? Could he be replaced in free agency of the NFL draft? Or is Spencer Anderson the obvious heir to Seumalo's starting spot? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders the future of other noteworthy free agents including Kyle Dugger, Cole Holcomb, Daniel Ekuale, Dean Lowry, Isaiahh Loudermilk, Chuck Clark, Jabrill Peppers, James Pierre and Asante Samuel Jr. on defense. Andrus Peat, Scotty Miller, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Calvin Austin III and Connor Heyward on offense. And Miles Killebrew on special teams. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How much longer are we going to wait around for Aaron Rodgers? Do the Steelers have a deadline on it? Poni's moles indicated that the Steelers would know yesterday about Rodgers, but if they do, the secret has survived 24+ hours. With legal tampering starting on Monday, how much longer can the team afford to wait? Last year, the Steelers bowed down and waited around for Rodgers to make his decision, but how much of that had to do with Mike Tomlin? The guys wondered if the Kenneth Gainwell situation is a tell as to where the Steelers are with Rodgers. Is anyone out there pounding the table for Rodgers? It feels like it's more of an acceptance than actually wanting Rodgers back. Daniel Jones just got tagged for $37M by the Colts. Does that make people feel better about Aaron Rodgers? People just love a bargain. Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt talked about the challenge players may have going from Spring Training to the World Baseball Classic, back to spring games then the regular season. He said the schedule can be wonky for someone like Paul Skenes, who is pitching for Team USA. The guys pointed out some pitch limits for guys in the WBC. Matt doesn't think Skenes will go close to a 95-pitch limit in a game with the US. Matt thinks a deal happening could be the difference between Konnor Griffin being on the Opening Day roster and not – no deal likely means he will start in Triple A. The guys asked Matt about meeting Tony Gwynn and a loaded Padres team that was fresh off a World Series appearance. Matt said he was in awe of pretty much everything during his first spring. Matt talked about Gwynn's masterful work at the plate and how he could have hit more home runs if he really wanted to. Matt was surprised to find out he never gave up a HR to Ken Griffey Jr. Matt had some funny stories about facing Barry Bonds early in his MLB career. We looked through some other funny Matt stats from his playing days.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel & Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to the NFL combine and what we may have learned about GM Omar Khan's plan for free agency, which begins next week. Did the volume of meetings with receivers and defensive backs telegraph that the Steelers will focus heavily on those position groups in the NFL draft, as coach Mike McCarthy searches for answers across from established playmakers including DK Metcalf, Pat Freiermuth and Joey Porter Jr.? Are names like Jordyn Tyson, Denzel Boston, Makai Lemon and KC Concepcion the ones we need to watch most closely? Could extensions be coming for 2023 draft class members including Broderick Jones, Porter Jr., Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington? Or will that depend on what happens with free agency? And where will Khan focus his free agent spending? Will it also go to the receiver and defensive back positions, as it did with Darius Slay and Juan Thornhill last offseason? Or will it be used to addressed positions like guard, where Issac Seumalo is set to depart? And running back, where Kenneth Gainwell is a free agent? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

In this clip from the Wednesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to ponder Troy Fautanu's future on the offensive line. Should GM Omar Khan and new coach Mike McCarthy consider using Troy Fautanu's versatility to move him to the guard spot likely to be vacated by veteran Isaac Seumalo this NFL offseason? Or has he show too much promise at his current right tackle spot? How does Broderick Jones' injury situation loom over the conversation? Could internal options like Dyan Cook and Spencer Anderson prove to be solutions for new position coach James Campen? And what does Chris think of potential NFL draft solutions like Vega Ioane, Emmanuel Pregnon and Billy Schrauth? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders free agent options some analysts have connected to the Steelers. Should GM Omar Khan and new coach Mike McCarthy be eyeing older veterans like Mike Evans and Tyreek Hill to balance DK Metcalf on the outside, as ESPN's Sam Acho suggested recently? Or is it time for the franchise to move on from short-term band-aids an target younger free agents like Alec Pierce and Romeo Doubs, who could be with the team for several years? And where do NFL draft options like Makai Lemon, Denzel Boston, Jordyn Tyson and KC Concepcion fit into the equation? Later, the guys talk RBs and analyst and former NFL running back Maurice Jones-Drew suggesting the Steelers should sign Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III. Do the Steelers need to spend lavishly at that position? Or would it be better off investing in its 2025 options Jaylen Warren, Kaleb Johnson and Kenneth Gainwell? And how should Khan address the position if Gainwell leaves for a lucrative deal in free agency? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sidney Crosby is in the locker room and has not returned after taking a big hit to the ice. Who are five realistic free agent targets for the Steelers in free agency? ESPN predicted safety Jaquon Brisker to the Steelers to join safety DeShon Elliott in the secondary. Running back Rico Dowdell could make sense if the Steelers don't re-sign Kenneth Gainwell.

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 ponder the team's biggest needs heading into the NFL offseason. Should new coach Mike McCarthy and GM Omar Khan invest more in the offensive line and add a name like Vega Ioane to their young core that includes names like Broderick Jones, Zach Frazier, Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick? And how much room for growth does that group still have to become an elite unit? ' Our duo ponders those questions, then considers the possibility that this could be a playmakers draft for the Steelers. Would receivers like Jordyn Tyson, Denzel Boston and Makai Lemon be exactly what this offense needs, regardless of whether the QB is Aaron Rodgers or someone else? How much would such a pick free up DK Metcalf on the outside? And is there a chance McCarthy will seek a running back to complement Jaylen Warren and Kaleb Johnson? Especially if Kenneth Gainwell doesn't re-sign? 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 team's decision at QB in 2025. Did GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin make the wrong call in pursuing Aaron Rodgers over Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl winner Sam Darnold? Could Darnold have replicated his championship success with the Steelers, surrounded by big names like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Jalen Ramsey? Or was Rodgers still the right choice to get the most out of an offense that included names like DK Metcalf, Kenneth Gainwell, Jaylen Warren, Roman Wilson, Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Calvin Austin III? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders the future of Drake Maye and the Super Bowl-losing Patriots in the AFC. Will they become a dominant force in the conference again? Or were there vulnerabilities shown in the big game a sign that the conference remains wide open moving forward if new coach Mike McCarthy can shake things up as new Patriots coach Mike Vrabel did?

In this clip from the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bitner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to react to the Seattle Seahawks' victory in the Super Bowl. Did Sam Darnold show that GM Omar Khan and new coach Mike McCarthy can win big with free agent QBs? Could 2026 free agents like Daniel Jones, Zach Wilson, Malik Willis or Mitch Trubisky repeat Darnold's success? Or was he a unique option for Seattle last offseason? And how should Darnold's victory impact the view the Steelers should have of in-house options like Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph and Will Howard? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Later, the guys react to the way Seattle won with elite defense and a strong running game. Can McCarthy and new coordinators Patrick Graham and Brian Angelichio mimic that success? Why haven't the Steelers been able to play great defense consistently under former coach Mike Tomlin with top talents like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Jalen Ramsey on the roster? Does GM Omar Khan need to been up his secondary around Joey Porter Jr. with more elite players like Devon Witherspoon and Nick Emmanwori? And are Jaylen Warren, Kenneth Gainwell and/or Kaleb Johnson capable of a big-game performance like we saw from the Seahawks' Kenneth Walker III? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
