They also get into how the rising salary cap — and Deshaun Watson's contract restructure — could shape the Browns' roster moves moving forward.

Joe Mixon released, Danielle Hunter extended and Wade Smith breaks down the O-line rebuild. Plus Nick Caserio on cap strategy ahead of Monday's tampering period. John Harris hosts a loaded Friday show on the eve of the legal tampering period, packing in a week's worth of roster news, a Wade Smith interview, and Nick Caserio audio. The biggest headline: Joe Mixon has been released at his own request, saving the Texans $8 million in cap space and officially closing the book on his Houston tenure after an injury-plagued 2025 season. That move pairs with several other transactions — Danielle Hunter receives a contract extension providing both long-term security and immediate cap relief, Derek Stingley Jr. and Jalen Pitre restructure their deals to free up space, MJ Stewart returns on a one-year deal to shore up the secondary, and Dalton Schultz gets a one-year extension to remain through 2027. Former Pro Bowl guard Wade Smith provides the episode's analytical centerpiece in a pre-recorded interview with Marc Vandermeer. Wade credits Cole Popovich and the offensive line staff for genuine improvement in 2025, explains from personal experience why playing multiple positions can extend a career but may prevent maximizing at one spot, and describes the emotional rollercoaster of free agency — visiting Buffalo where former coaches tugged at his heartstrings, falling in love with Houston on his visit, then being pushed by his agent to leverage an Arizona trip he didn't want to take. On the current roster, Wade sees Aireontae Ersery and Trent Brown as likely starters at the tackle spots and emphasizes the need to invest in the interior, noting Ed Ingram's career-best season will price him high on the open market. He also raves about the Toro District facility at Bridgeland, comparing it to Frisco, Texas and the Cowboys' Star complex. The final segment features Nick Caserio's appearance on Sports Radio 610's Sean & Seth show, where the GM provides a candid look at the free agency big board process — starting with all available unrestricted free agents, narrowing to 25-30 realistic targets across positions, and eliminating mismatches in value quickly so the team doesn't "waste time." Caserio speaks warmly about Tytus Howard's professionalism, acknowledges the difficulty of managing competing contract demands, explains why the offensive line turnover isn't an indictment of individual players but a roster construction reality, and pushes back on PFF grades as "a data point" that lacks the context of being in meeting rooms. The show closes with league news including Taylor Decker's release from Detroit, Geno Smith's release from the Raiders, and DJ Moore's trade to Buffalo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 2, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 100 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers being poised to part ways with T Calvin Anderson by the start of the 2026 NFL year. We discuss the cap savings related to Anderson being released and why such a decision is likely to be made now with him. A Monday morning report indicated that Steelers T Broderick Jones needed neck fusion surgery following his 2025 injury, so Alex and I discuss that news update. We also address the upcoming fifth-year option decision the Steelers have when it comes to Jones, and we go over the amount that 2027 is now scheduled to cost. With Anderson being cut and Jones dealing with a neck issue, Alex and I address the probability and plausibility related to the Steelers addressing the tackle position in either free agency, the draft, or both. We also talk about the likelihood of the Steelers selecting both a guard and tackle in the first four rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. The NFL released the 2026 salary cap number over the weekend, so Alex and I make sure to cover that big news during this show. With the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine now wrapped up as of Monday morning, Alex and I recap the entire event starting with the safety, cornerback, and tight end groups. We go over how enticing this year's safety class appears to be with the combine now over with. As part of our combine positional group recaps, Alex and I spend some extra time discussing the outlook of former Arkansas QB Taylen Green, who posted a phenomenal athletic testing profile over the weekend. Alex and I discuss the wide receivers, tight ends, running backs, and offensive linemen groups from this year's combine as well. Is there much to do about the combine meeting and interviews related to USC WR Makai Lemon? Did his draft stock really drop based on the weekend reports concerning his team meetings and podium interview? We spend a little time attempting to answer those questions about him during this show. Alex and I go over some of our global takeaways concerning the Steelers as it relates to the combine process. This 112-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap and we end this episode by answering several emails we have received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
