The first week of Pittsburgh Steelers Training Camp is officially in the books, and there is no shortage of storylines to discuss! On today's episode of State of the Steelers, we're breaking down the biggest takeaways from Week 1 in Latrobe, including Mike McCarthy's early impact on the team, the heated backup quarterback battle between Will Howard and Drew Allar, Aaron Rodgers building chemistry with DK Metcalf, Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard continuing to impress, Asante Samuel Jr.'s standout performances, and much more. We'll also discuss why fans shouldn't overreact to "football in shorts," why getting through Week 1 without any major injuries is a huge win, and what we're watching closely as the Steelers prepare for padded practices.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the midst of their 2026 Training Camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA, and to say there are differences between Mike McCarthy and Mike Tomlin is an understatement.

LetsTalkAboutItChris Johnson revealed that he has ALS. The former Titans star publicly announced the diagnosis June 29 and said doctors believe he has sporadic ALS. Tennessee has since supported Johnson's effort to revive the Ice Bucket Challenge and will honor him in its Ring of Honor. This is bigger than football and has to lead the show.Ahman Green revealed an early-onset Parkinson's diagnosis. The Packers' all-time leading rusher said he was diagnosed in January 2025 after initially noticing symptoms during sleep. Green said he remains optimistic and is managing the condition through medication, exercise and diet.Deebo Samuel is returning to the 49ers. San Francisco reunited with its former playmaker on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million as the organization deals with uncertainty throughout its receiver room.Tampa Bay's contract situation is becoming a full organizational problem. Baker Mayfield says he feels undervalued after extension talks stalled, while Vita Vea has requested a trade and is drawing substantial interest. Two of the team's most important leaders entering camp are publicly unhappy.The Eagles reset the defensive tackle market for Jalen Carter. Philadelphia reportedly gave Carter a four-year, $152 million extension, making him the highest-paid defensive tackle in the league.Aaron Donald comeback speculation is real enough to discuss. Donald has resumed on-field work, Sean McVay has not exactly shut down the conversation and Myles Garrett has openly entertained what the pairing could accomplish for the Rams.Brandon Aiyuk and the 49ers remain headed toward an ugly ending. Aiyuk has publicly aired grievances, repeatedly connected himself to Washington and reportedly allowed communication with the Commanders to fall “off the track.”Aaron Rodgers says 2026 is his final season. Rodgers returned to play for Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh but says there is “zero debate” about another season in 2027.CollegeFootballNewsThe 2027 quarterback evaluation cycle is underway. Oregon's Dante Moore is already receiving comparisons to C.J. Stroud, while Darian Mensah has reportedly generated legitimate franchise-quarterback evaluations from scouts.Brendan Sorsby has made the supplemental draft relevant again. Dallas reportedly viewed the former Texas Tech quarterback as a developmental option, and his availability has created a real discussion about whether teams should spend future draft capital this summer.The next running-back class is beginning to form. Early rankings and breakout lists are already moving the conversation away from the completed 2026 draft and toward which college runners can emerge during the upcoming season.Rookie evaluations are finally moving from draft grades to football. Fernando Mendoza has signed his deal with the Raiders, Ty Simpson is under contract with the Rams and players such as Caleb Downs and Jeremiyah Love are entering camp with immediate expectations.TakeOrTangentThe football cost may be showing up years after retirement. Johnson and Green played the same position during an era that celebrated running backs absorbing extreme physical punishment. Their diagnoses can lead into a deep discussion about neurological health, player care and what the league owes retired players—or simply a moment appreciating both careers.Can Deebo Samuel actually recreate the old magic in San Francisco? The surface conversation is whether he helps the receiving corps. The deeper tangent is whether returning to a familiar coach and system can reverse years of physical decline and organizational tension.Would Aaron Donald's return make the Rams unfair or merely famous? Donald, Garrett and the Rams' upgraded secondary look terrifying on paper. The tangent is whether a retired interior lineman can return directly to championship-level football conditioning.Why are teams extending defensive stars earlier than quarterbacks? Philadelphia moved decisively with Carter, while Tampa allowed both the Mayfield and Vea situations to become public. Is defensive value becoming easier for teams to price, or are quarterbacks simply asking for numbers teams no longer want to guarantee?Is Pittsburgh protecting Aaron Rodgers or changing its identity? Mike McCarthy eliminated live tackling from training-camp drills in his first year replacing Mike Tomlin. That can be a simple injury-prevention story or a larger conversation about whether the Steelers are no longer interested in performing toughness for tradition's sake.TouchdownOrTurnoverDeebo back to San Francisco on a one-year deal.The Eagles paying Jalen Carter before his leverage grows further.The Rams encouraging an Aaron Donald comeback.Rodgers announcing his retirement plans before the season.The Saints giving Chris Olave four years and $132 million.Cleveland making Denzel Ward the NFL's highest-paid defensive back again.The Browns extending Grant Delpit for three years and $48 million.Tampa refusing to meet Baker Mayfield's current valuation.Indianapolis refusing to trade Anthony Richardson cheaply despite his reported request to leave.The Rams drafting Ty Simpson rather than spending that first-rounder on immediate help.The NFL reducing the gap between the combine and free agency to one day beginning in 2027.FairOrFadeBrandon Aiyuk versus the 49ers: Aiyuk has taken his complaints to social media, pitched himself to Washington and continued escalating the split publicly. Is he fairly exposing how San Francisco handled him, or trying too hard to manufacture his preferred exit?Baker Mayfield versus the Buccaneers: Mayfield says the organization's offers made him feel disrespected and undervalued. Is that fair after what he has done for Tampa, or should the team be cautious about committing approximately $50 million annually?Vita Vea versus the Buccaneers: Vea requested a trade after unsuccessful contract efforts, and Mayfield publicly supported him. Is this a player correctly using his remaining leverage, or a veteran trying to force Tampa into paying for past production?Josh Allen versus critics of Buffalo's Nickel City uniforms: Allen told people to stop hating on the new alternates. Fair defense of a fresh look, or fade because the uniforms really are that bad?Ja'Marr Chase versus his own teammates: Chase ripped off and threw a teammate's helmet during a camp confrontation, then framed the incident as the competitiveness he wants from the defensive backs. Fair football intensity, or an unnecessary escalation from a team leader?Trey McBride versus Cardinals fans: McBride walked back his previous claim that there are “no Arizona fans in Arizona.” Was the original comment an honest observation, or disrespect toward a fan base already tired of being mocked?

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT breaks down the NFL's ongoing turf war with its own players and explains why the World Cup exposed how easily owners could install natural grass if they were willing to prioritize player safety over stadium profits. JT also examines how much the Steelers offense can improve under Mike McCarthy with Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Rico Dowdle, and a rebuilt supporting cast, why Jesse Minter could lead the Ravens to the NFL's second-best defense, and why the Vikings need to stop pretending J.J. McCarthy has a real chance to beat out Kyler Murray. Plus, JT explains why the NFL is sleeping on a healthy 49ers team after San Francisco survived major injuries and still won 12 games, how Kenneth Walker can take pressure off Patrick Mahomes and reshape the Chiefs' bounce-back season, and why the Raiders must finally show a clear direction under Tom Brady, Klint Kubiak, and Fernando Mendoza. Can Pittsburgh finally build a playoff-caliber offense? Are Baltimore and San Francisco being underrated? Will Kansas City reclaim the AFC West? And can Las Vegas finally establish an identity that lasts beyond one season?

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 a study put out by Rotowire on Monday that said that new Pittsburgh head coach Mike McCarthy will enter his tenure wth the third-hottest hot seat in the NFL -- while coaching for a team that hasn't fired its head coach since 1969. That's preposterous, but it's par for the course this time of year. Alan breaks it down: Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

July 20, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 165 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get things started by first going over the recent news of former Pittsburgh Steelers RB Le'Veon Bell being arrested for his alleged failure to pay child support. After quickly discussing the Bell recent news, Alex and I look back at Bell's NFL career and go over the big 'what ifs' related to him had he remained in Pittsburgh several more seasons. We discuss whether Bell will ever be voted into the Steelers' Hall of Honor and where he might currently rank on Pittsburgh's all-time rushing list had he played several more seasons for the team. With the Steelers' 2026 training camp set to get underway in just a little more than one week, Alex and I go over what it might look like this summer with new HC Mike McCarthy. Alex recently interviewed several people who covered McCarthy during his time with Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys to get their feedback on past training camps the head coach conducted over the years and we go over his findings. After thoroughly discussing the latest topical subjects and news concerning the Steelers, in addition to previewing McCarthys first training camp in Latrobe, the two of us talk in-depth about six more players in my annual 90-in-30 training camp preview series. The six players we discuss are: QB Mason Rudolph, CB Asante Samuel Jr., S Darnell Savage, OLB Jack Sawyer, WR Ben Skowronek, and CB Doneiko Slaughter. We give the summer outlook for each player and the chances a few of them have at sticking in Pittsburgh once the preseason ends. This 91-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this podcast by answering a few questions we received via email from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The Pirates have a very little chance to win the NL Central because the Brewers have created such a gap. But what about a wild card spot? Fan Graphs gives them the best chance of any team outside looking in to make the postseason. The site gives the Pirates just under a 42% chance to make it to October. Are they better than the Cardinals, Diamondbacks and Marlins? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Jon Gruden continues to praise the work of Will Howard as we have yet to see him in a pro game. Ray thinks it's more of the same and added what we have heard so many times from Mike McCarthy so far. Per usual, Ray said the offense in the preseason will be vanilla, so it could come down to what we see in practice. Ray reacted to the idea that 6 Steelers, including Keeanu Benton, would fetch a 1st round pick in return if traded. Ray expects a bounce back year from TJ Watt and thinks he will have a 12-sack season. When will the Joey Porter Jr. contract buzz start to pick up again and when will that deal get done? How long will it take for Max Iheanachor to become the starter at right tackle? Poni took us on a ride through some football preview books.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to ponder which players will be most interesting to watch during training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. Is Germie Bernard by far the most integral rookie from an NFL draft class that also includes Max Iheanachor, Drew Allar, Gennings Dunker and Daylen Everette? How does Jalen Ramsey's role in the secondary look poised to grow? Will Pat Freiermuth finally be unlocked within coach Mike McCarthy's offense alongside QB Aaron Rodgers and receivers DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr.? And will Jamel Dean prove himself to be the best running mate for Joey Porter Jr. at cornerback? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Zachary Smith discusses all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic joins to discuss the differences in how Mike McCarthy runs things as opposed to Mike Tomlin, what the concern areas of the roster are and if we could still see any of them upgraded or if it'll just be internal competition, what the level of confidence in a leap from Payton Wilson is and what players have the most to prove this training camp/preseason?

Jobe Morrison and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss how Mike McCarthy will blend what Brian Angelichio brings to the table into what his offense has historically been. Will we see a heavy usage of 12 and 13 personnel or a bunch of 11, as we've primarily seen from McCarthy. Is there anything we are waiting on from a roster construction standpoint to still happen this summer? Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this!

Spencer Anderson is going to get a chance to be a starter. Nick doesn't think Gennings Dunker is ready to be a starting guard. Mike McCarthy is a pass over run coach. Chris Boswell is the highest paid Steeler at his position. Boswell is a top three kicker in the game and the best player the Steelers have at his position across football. The best case scenario is Will Howard beats out Mason Rudolph.

Does Troy Fautanu deserve franchise left tackle money already? Or does he have more to prove to GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy? Is Zach Frazier a lock to secure top five money at the center position? Does Roman Wilson have any chance at a second contract as he faces stiff receiver competition from DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard? How much could Payton Wilson earn with Patrick Queen's future up in the air at inside linebacker? And will there be enough money left for Mason McCormick at guard come next summer?
