May 8, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 133 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this delayed Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the initial jersey numbers for the Pittsburgh Steelers 2026 draft class that have now been announced by the team. We also make sure to caution that several of them might change by the start of the regular season. The Steelers have now also released their 2026 rookie minicamp roster for this weekend, so Alex and I quickly parse that list of 40 players and what sticks out overall as it relates to it. Might P Ryan Stonehouse, who is one of the several tryout players this weekend, be a serious candidate to get signed after this weekend? We discuss his brief NFL history and how he seems like a potential logical candidate to compete against Steelers P Cameron Johnston this summer. There have been quite a few updates regarding QB Aaron Rodgers since Thursday morning, so Alex and I pour over all of them. We discuss Rodgers reportedly being set to come to Pittsburgh this weekend for starters. We then go over what Steelers GM Omar Khan had to say to Chris Mack on Friday morning when it comes to Rodgers' current whereabouts. We also discuss the Friday morning reporting from Mark Kaboly on Rodgers and how he will possibly not visit the Steelers this weekend at all. Alex and I go over what a fair base market value for Rodgers should be this offseason and if contract discussions might be playing any role in him not yet re-signing with the Steelers. Al in all, we make it known that there's probably a good chance that nobody really knows where Rodgers is currently as far as his current location, decision-making process, and timeline. Much later in this shorter show, Alex and I begin speculating on the current market value of Steelers DT Keeanu Benton, who many think has a great shot at signing a contract extension this offseason. We go over a list of comparable players to Benton right now and the current market values of each. We will continue this conversation on Benton on the Monday show. This 33-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we are sorry that technical difficulties resulted in it being shorter than usual. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
