The NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and the league looks completely different. MTP Power Rankings hosts Dave Clarke and Bob Kelly are here to break down every blockbuster trade, every questionable move, and every new contender as we head into Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season. The Jets blew it up in dramatic fashion — Sauce Gardner traded to the Colts, Quinnen Williams shipped to the Cowboys, and Breece Hall rumored to be the next big name on the move. Dave calls it the biggest in-season rebuild in years, while Bobby questions whether either trade actually moves the needle. Did the Colts overpay for star power? Can Quinnen Williams fix a Cowboys defense that just got embarrassed by the Cardinals? The guys also break down the rest of the trade deadline deals: Rashid Shaheed heads to the Seahawks to give Sam Darnold more speed on offense to pair with Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jakobi Meyers heads to Jacksonville, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling brings veteran experience to the Steelers offense. Dave argues that Pittsburgh made one of the smartest under-the-radar moves of the deadline, while Bobby calls it “too little, too late.” Then, it’s on to the rankings — and there’s a major shakeup at the top.The Buffalo Bills reclaim the #1 spot after a statement win over the Kansas City Chiefs, dominating on both sides of the ball. The Buccaneers and Eagles stay steady at two and three, while the Patriots continue to climb behind Drake Maye’s control and maturity under Mike Vrabel’s leadership. The Rams, Colts, and Lions round out a competitive top tier, while teams like the Broncos and Seahawks are quietly building resumes that can’t be ignored. The Bears are another story — shocking the Bengals in what Dave calls “the craziest game of the season.” They praise Caleb Williams for his ability to deliver under pressure and highlight DJ Moore’s near-touchdown that flipped the game. But Bobby doesn’t let the special teams off the hook, calling their kickoff coverage “unacceptable.” Both agree Chicago’s arrow is pointing up, but they still need cleaner execution to stay in playoff contention. Other topics include the Packers’ embarrassing loss to the Panthers, Steelers’ defensive turnaround, and Bo Nix’s underrated run in Denver. The guys agree this season feels more unpredictable than ever, with few dominant teams and plenty of parity across the league. Dave also takes aim at the officiating inconsistencies and revisits the debate over the “tush push” — calling for a rule change after too many controversial calls. By the end of the episode, every team gets its place: contenders, pretenders, and those officially crossed off for the season.

On the Thursday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise to analyze reports that free agent CB Asante Samuel Jr. will visit the Steelers next week. Would GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin securing a deal with the veteran make up for their quiet NFL trade deadline? Or would it still be reasonable for fans to want to see more new faces beyond Kyle Dugger and Marquez Valdes-Scantling? What are the chances Sameul ever arrives here considering broad interest in him from teams around the league? If the Steelers miss out, will they regret not adding a CB next to Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay Jr.? And what should we make of reports saying Khan was close to completing a deal for Jakobi Meyers or another WR to pair with DK Metcalf as a weapon for Aaron Rodgers? Our duo tackles those questions and takes stock of the Steelers' place in the AFC pecking order. Were the wins against the Colts and Patriots flukes because of the many turnovers generated in those games? And what will it say about this team if it can win in NFL Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Mark Kaboly said that Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson are not far off from Jakobi Meyers. Marquez Valdes-Scantling said Aaron Rodgers is the reason he is with the Steelers. Alex Highsmith was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week. Arturs Silovs will start against the Capitals. Should the Pirates sign JT Realmuto? Joe and Austin think he could be a Russell Martin type.

Mark Kaboly said that Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson are not far off from Jakobi Meyers. Aaron Rodgers said there was probably more noise outside the facility about adding a No. 2 WR. Marquez Valdes-Scantling said Aaron Rodgers is the reason he is with the Steelers. Ben Roethlisberger called out the Steelers for giving him converted guard Kendrick Green at center.

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve thought the Steelers probably should have added something to the offense at the deadline, but thinks there might be a little bit left in the tank of Marquez Valdes-Scantling. He said MVS has a lot of issues in his game, but if he can still run and have that connection with Aaron Rodgers, it could pay dividends. Steve said we live in a ‘championship or bust' world, which could blind people to future assets. Is the defensive output going to even out? The guys had Steve react to the Steelers cutting DeMarvin Leal earlier today. Is Steve more about traits or production at the college level? Steve picked the Steelers to win in LA.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the team bringing in Asante Samuel Jr. for a visit next week. Where and how does he fit? Alex Highsmith and Darnell Washington missed practice today, sounding alarm bells for Steelers fans. Marquez Valdes-Scantling talked about Aaron Rodgers being the reason he decided to join the team.

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike said the Steelers should throw away the ugly throwbacks they wore on Sunday Night Football. The guys had Mike react to the trade deadline and the lack of moves from the Steelers yesterday for players like Jakobi Meyers or Rashid Shaheed. Mike doesn't buy into the conspiracy theory that Art Rooney II prevented the front office from making moves. What does he think of Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who will stand as the Steelers lone WR move? Mike was surprised they didn't acquire Allen Lazard since the Jets were undergoing a fire sale. Mike doesn't think there should be regret in dealing George Pickens even if they failed to fill that WR2 void. Mike isn't ready to consider the Steelers a serious contender – he said their season comes down to fending off the Ravens. Poni threw out a few QBs that could be available for the Steelers in 2026 if Aaron Rodgers retires after the season. Mike believes Kyler Murray will be available and will possibly get cut by the Cardinals before we enter the offseason. Mike described the YouTube TV feud with Disney/ESPN as ‘unfortunate' because it continues to make things more difficult for the consumer. Mike said if they ‘gave a crap' about the customers, they would resolve this before they do anything else, but there is too much ego coming from the top. Mike said the NFL is powerful enough that they can settle this problem if they really wanted to – saying it's ‘curious' that the league is standing on the sidelines here.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. The guys went over the injury report with Jeff and he thinks Isaac Seumalo is one to watch this week with the ongoing pec injury. Could Andrus Peat see his first action with the Steelers? Jeff thinks Marquez Valdes-Scantling will be on the field the moment he is ready and isn't just a ‘warm body.' Jeff confirmed that Jakobi Meyers was on their radar, but the compensation was just a little too much. Jeff thinks there's a decent chance Asante Samuel Jr. signs here if he makes it to Wednesday as a free agent. Jeff sees a low-scoring game with the Steelers winning in LA.

There is a conspiracy theory floating around that Art Rooney II ‘blocked' any trade the Steelers could have made to save draft picks for next April when the event takes place in Pittsburgh. The Steelers are projected to have up to 12 selections that weekend and the owner may feel like holding onto the capital is the best move. Do we think there is anything to this? Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt came hot out of the gate talking Pirates free agency, saying his first call would be to JT Realmuto and that they should offer him a 3-year deal. Matt didn't put any blame on Isiah Kiner-Falefa for his baserunning gaffe in Game 7. He added thoughts on some of the other events in the game. How much did he enjoy the final game of the season?

The Steelers newest addition is in town and was at practice. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, an old friend of Aaron Rodgers, was chatting with the media today. MVS credited Rodgers for being the reason why he was in Pittsburgh even though Mike Tomlin simply called him a practice squad guy. MVS also sounds like a guy that will be in the lineup sooner rather than later and not just hanging out at practice. We also got news that Asante Samuel Jr. is visiting the Steelers next week. A reason the Steelers may not have traded a 4th round pick yesterday is due to the record Omar Khan has drafting in that round – which has yet to have a clear miss in 3 years. Are we also overrating those players a little bit? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show.

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise gives his thoughts on the Steelers' moves -- or lack thereof -- at the NFL trade deadline. Did GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin properly balance the team's present with its future? Especially with numerous extra NFL draft picks in hand with the event coming to Pittsburgh? Did they secure enough help for the struggling secondary around names like Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., Kyle Dugger, Darius Slay Jr. and Brandin Echols? Does Aaron Rodgers now have enough pass-catching help alongside names like DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, Darnell Washington, Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth? And how much can the acquisition of Marquez Valdes-Scantling bolster the group? Paul 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 team standing pat at the NFL Trade Deadline, despite all the buzz about the team adding another wide receiver. The only addition to that room was Marquez Valdes-Scantling in the form of a practice squad addition. So where does the team go from here? Could they bring in Asante Samuel Jr. now that he's been cleared? Mike Tomlin said Jalen Ramsey will once again play free safety. Is that the best use of his services?

All is quiet for the Steelers on trade deadline day. Should the Steelers have traded for Jakobi Meyers or Rashid Shaheed? Mike Tomlin had no interest in talking about Beanie Bishop and Marquez Valdes-Scantling on the practice squad.

The Steelers could look to add at wide receiver, cornerback, and safety before the trade deadline. Jakobi Meyers is the big name we are looking at from the Raiders. Farabaugh said the Marquez Valdes-Scantling move is minimal and doesn't preclude the Steelers from adding another receiver. BREAKING: The Jacksonville Jaguars have traded for wide receiver Jakobi Meyers.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey and Brian Batko: All is quiet for the Steelers on trade deadline day. Should the Steelers have traded for Jakobi Meyers or Rashid Shaheed? Brian Batko joins as we discuss the Mike Tomlin press conference. Mike Tomlin had no interest in talking about Beanie Bishop and Marquez Valdes-Scantling on the practice squad. Will the Steelers make a significant trade before 4pm? The Colts traded for All-Pro corner Sauce Gardner.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: The Steelers could look to add at wide receiver, cornerback, and safety before the trade deadline. Farabaugh said the Marquez Valdes-Scantling move is minimal and doesn't preclude the Steelers from adding another receiver. Nick highly doubts the Steelers will trade Alex Highsmith. The Jacksonville Jaguars have traded for wide receiver Jakobi Meyers.

Adam Crowley wonders whether the Steelers should still try to get another WR after the acquisition of Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

NFL Trade Deadline day is here. The Steelers haven't made a move. A few WRs are off the board and one team is doing a total fire sale. What if they come away with nothing? The only new guys are Kyle Dugger and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, one of which was just a practice squad signing. Is Jaylen Waddle a realistic option? The Jets are going full fire sale during this trade deadline. They now have 3 1st round picks in 2027. Tomlin-ism of the Week – Mike Tomlin called Keenan Allen a ‘Steady Eddy.' Who are some of those in Steelers history?

Poni said he is upset at Omar Khan for doing nothing at the trade deadline. They made a move for Kyle Dugger last week, but no moves made today and nothing to improve the offense, other than Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the practice squad. Did Omar fail his test today? Do the Steelers overvalue the TE and RB usage in the pass game?

The trade deadline is here and it appears the Steelers haven't done anything. The Chargers traded for Trevor Penning to help out their offensive line that is in some disarray. The Steelers WR help will be capped with Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who was signed to the practice squad yesterday.

On 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 assess the team's situation at wide receiver. Would a name like Marquez Valdes-Scantling -- who's been linked to the Steelers this week -- really make the wide receivers room better? Would OC Arthur Smith even use him or other possible trade targets like Chris Olave or Jaylen Waddle enough next to DK Metcalf? And has the offense improved enough with Roman Wilson and Calvin Austin III in support roles for QB Aaron Rodgers and TEs Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith to justify keeping them toward the top of the depth chart? Our duo tackles those questions and whether possible draft capital used in deal ahead of the NFL trade deadline would be better used on a cornerback to help the struggling Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay Jr. and Joey Porter Jr. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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 signing of wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and what he brings to the table. Valdes-Scantling is very familiar with Aaron Rodgers, having spent the first four years of his career with him with the Green Bay Packers, and that should make him able to hit the ground running in Pittsburgh, where the 6-foot-4 field-stretcher can provide something Pittsburgh has not had in its wide receivers room. Does that mean Omar Khan is done making additions to that group? Alan breaks it down.' Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The San Francisco 49ers have officially revealed their final 53-man roster for the 2025 NFL season, and there are plenty of surprises, tough cuts, and big roster questions heading into Week 1. Quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Mac Jones lead the offense, while the backfield is stacked with Christian McCaffrey, Isaac Guerendo, Jordan James, and Brian Robinson. But the roster news doesn't come without controversy.The wide receiver room is dangerously thin, with just Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall fully healthy after Brandon Aiyuk landed on the PUP list and Jacob Cowing is expected to go on IR. Veterans like Russell Gage, Chosen Anderson, DeMarcus Robinson, and Jeff Wilson Jr. were among the most notable roster cuts, leaving serious depth concerns. Could the 49ers look to free agents like Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Hunter Renfrow, or Robert Woods to fill the void?On defense, the Niners kept a loaded group on the defensive line with Nick Bosa, Bryce Huff, Mykel Williams, Alfred Collins, Yetur Gross-Matos, and more, but surprise cuts like Trevis Gipson raised eyebrows.

In this clip from the Thursday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette insider Christopher Carter to react to the team's roster decisions at the wide receiver position. Have GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin closed the door on a move for an outside WR2? With names like Amari Cooper and Marquez Valdes-Scantling off the market and Gabe Davis still not getting an offer despite multiple visits to the team? Are Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin III and others enough behind DK Metcalf? Especially in the event of injury? How much can OC Arthur Smith's offense really rely on tight ends like Jonnu Smith, Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington in the passing game? And can 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers effectively distribute the ball to all of those targets? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the team filling out their practice squad with only players who spent the summer with the team and how strong of an indictment that is about the group they had. We also discuss what missing out on Marquez Valdes-Scantling means for their WR search and if somebody like Javon Baker or Kendrick Bourne make any sense to add. Learn more about your ad choices.

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 interest in signing free agent wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Valdes-Scantling spent four years playing with Aaron Rodgers with the Green Bay Packers, but that's not the only reason that he's a good fit for the Steelers. He's also still, even at 30 years old, a productive deep threat that can stretch the field and take defensive attention away from the team's other options. Alan breaks it down.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Bill Cowher said this is the best Steelers roster since their last playoff win. The Savannah Bananas are coming to Pittsburgh this weekend and have sold out both Friday and Saturday. They have more than a billion views on YouTube. Marquez Valdes-Scantling spoke last year on how Aaron Rodgers cares more about his teammates than football. Joe thinks the Pirates are a .500 team with their pitching.

Bill Cowher said this is the best Steelers roster since their last playoff win. Joe disagrees and thinks the 2017 Steelers were much better on offense. Marquez Valdes-Scantling spoke last year on how Aaron Rodgers cares more about his teammates than football. Joe doesn't think Shedeur Sanders will make more than a start if everyone stays healthy.

RUNDOWN   Nugget ice machines, clinking noises, and bizarre celebrity rumors (yes, even LeAnn Rimes' teeth). The warm-up turns nostalgic as the show celebrates musical birthdays for Billy Ray Cyrus, Gene Simmons, and Elvis Costello. And what about the chaos of late August sports: college football's return, the NFL looming, and the Mariners somehow both collapsing and contending at the same time? Hotshot recounts the fantasy football fiasco that ended his playing days back in 2007, while Mitch embraces his role as a “passionate pessimist” when it comes to Seattle baseball. And through it all, one bright spot remains—Brian Woo quietly posting Cy Young–level consistency, even if the voters never notice. Mitch interviews Nancy King, who was just 16 when a family trip to Seattle in August 1964 turned into the story of a lifetime. From checking into the Beatles' hotel, to a chance encounter with a Liverpool journalist, to being ushered into a private room where she spent 30 unforgettable minutes with John, Paul, George, and Ringo — Nancy recounts how one magical evening reshaped her life and inspired decades of storytelling. CBS analyst and Rose Bowl–winning coach Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch to open another season of weekly college football chats, breaking down the new 12-team playoff format, the looming SEC and Big Ten power plays, and the frenzy around Arch Manning's Texas debut in Columbus. He weighs in on Washington's year-two outlook under Jedd Fisch, Heisman dark horses, and makes his first official “Rick's Pick” of 2025 — with Oregon and LSU circled for January glory. Mitch welcomes back Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas for episode 348 of this Mariners No-Table segment, where the trio dissects Seattle's uneven road trip, a roster struggling against lefties, and what Cal Raleigh's historic home run pace means for the franchise. With Padres, Guardians, and Rays looming, the group debates roster moves, Harry Ford's September call-up chances, and whether the Mariners are missing their moment to bury Houston.   GUESTS   Nancy King | Eyewitness to the Beatles' 1964 Seattle stay and lifelong storyteller of that night at the Edgewater Hotel Rick Neuheisel | CBS College Football Analyst, Former Head Coach & Rose Bowl Champion Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast (Mariners on SI) Joe Doyle | MLB Draft & Mariners Analyst, Over Slot Substack   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | From Nugget Ice to Beatles Nights 21:56 | Passionate Pessimists, Fantasy-Free Since '07, and Mariners in the Madness 35:30 | GUEST: Nancy King; From North Dakota to the Edgewater: A Teenager's Night With the Beatles 1:05:25 | GUEST: Rick Neuheisel; Kicks Off College Football: Playoff Paths, Arch Madness, and Husky Hopes 1:34:28 | GUEST: Mariners No-Table; Mariners No-Table: Clunky Rosters, Cal Raleigh's Power Surge, and a Crucial Week Ahead 2:02:21 | Other Stuff Segment: Chinese Taipei wins Little League World Series, Issaquah loses to eventual softball champion Texas, Seahawks preseason struggles & roster cuts (Marquez Valdes-Scantling uncertainty), Lee Corso's final College GameDay broadcast, John Wall retires from NBA, Bengals Ring of Honor controversy (Boomer Esiason email & Corey Dillon snub), Roger Federer declared billionaire via On Running stake, Nolan Bushnell turns down 1/3 of Apple for $50K, Sean Kemp sentenced to 30 days home detention, Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant card sells for $12.93M, Ro Crowder rearrested for sniffing strangers, Bellevue Pickleball Club opening.
