Send us a textThe Steelers have made some solid offseason moves, but there's still work to be done before training camp. We break down the key roster moves, trades, and signings the Steelers MUST make to stay competitive in the AFC North.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news and breaks down why he believes the Pittsburgh Steelers and T.J. Watt are currently playing a game of high-stakes chicken with his deal. Will Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan listen to trade offers from division rivals like the Baltimore Ravens over the next two months, or will they eventually make Watt the highest-paid defensive player in the league above the Cleveland Browns' Myles Garrett? Lastly, Paul dives into more Steelers offseason talk and upcoming training camp thoughts before talking about the slumping Pirates' much-needed MLB All-Star Week break and what it means for Paul Skenes, Oneil Cruz and company.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news and analyzes whether the Steelers are legit postseason contenders ahead of the 2025 NFL regular season. Paul breaks down why he believes this is the best Steelers team on both sides of the ball since Pittsburgh had Ben Roethlisberger in 2017. Do the additions of Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith, among others, make this team a threat to win the AFC North and actually win a playoff game come winter? Conversely, will the losses of Minkah Fitzpatrick and Najee Harris negate the additions Mike Tomlin, Omar Khan and company made this offseason? Lastly, Paul weighs in on the news that the Pirates' Oneil Cruz will compete in the MLB Home Run Derby. For more sports, visit post-gazette.com.

In this episode of the Property Profits Podcast, Dave Dubeau welcomes Omar Khan, founder of Boardwalk Wealth, for a real-world look at what's really happening in today's multifamily syndication world. Omar brings deep financial experience and candid insight into the current shakeout in the U.S. syndication space—and why experience, operational depth, and credibility matter now more than ever. Omar shares how his team has pivoted from traditional multifamily value-add and development into distressed asset acquisitions, stepping in where others are failing. With a background in investment banking and a fully built-out management platform, Omar reveals how they're acquiring troubled properties, restructuring deals, and creating opportunities where others see only challenges. You'll hear about real-world examples of distressed deals, why “no recourse” loans aren't always what they seem, and how his team is navigating today's tough market with strategy and skill. If you're interested in raising capital, investing in multifamily, or learning what separates seasoned operators from weekend warriors—this is the episode for you.   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news and breaks down a number of recent Steelers trending topics, including Terry Bradshaw's controversial comments about Chuck Noll. Is prime Aaron Rodgers better than prime Patrick Mahomes? Paul reacts to Big Ben's recent comments and discusses why the Steelers' former Super Bowl-winning QB would come out and say that on his podcast. Also, was Bill Cowher correct in saying that Rodgers needs "the keys" to Pittsburgh's offense in order to be successful this season? And are the T.J. Watt trade rumors viable, or will Omar Khan, Mike Tomlin and company finally get a record-setting deal done before training camp? Lastly, Paul weighs in on the Pirates' recent slump back to reality and why owner Bob Nutting and general manager Ben Cherington still need to clean house for everyone not named Paul Skenes and Andrew McCutchen.

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 Steelers big trade with the Miami Dolphins last week and how general manager Omar Khan is counting on Mike Tomlin and his coaching staff to make the pieces fit. The Steelers got the best of the trade with the Dolphins, adding a more-valuable secondary piece in Jalen Ramsey in addition to Jonnu Smith in exchange for Minkah Fitzpatrick. But it's not immediately clear how all the pieces will fit together, and if the coaching staff can't make it work, it will open fair questions about the quality of the trade and their future. Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Steelers have operated differently this year and under Omar Khan, who received a three-year extension through 2028. Jason wonders if it's worth it to pay an edge rusher $40 million. We would rather pay Watt around $38 million and figure out the guaranteed money to be more than Myles Garrett.

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson evaluate Steelers' GM Omar Khan with the NFL offseason starting to come to an end. July 7, 2025, 7:00 Hour

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson discuss whether Steelers' GM Omar Khan knows football or if he's someone that just focuses on analytics.

Another moment of Terry Bradshaw defending Kenny Pickett in his time with the Steelers. But the guys wondered if it was more of a shot at the head coach than a defense of Pickett. Deshaun Watson got married this weekend, which was the cause for a few jokes on social media. There was also a defense of Sam Darnold in the interview with Bradshaw, which the guys think is a little bit comparable to Pickett even though Darnold was a former 3rd overall pick. Now with Pickett in Cleveland, how is the talent around him supposed to be good enough? A chart is going viral with the final 5 drafts under Kevin Colbert. Colbert may be a Hall of Fame GM, but this painted a picture as to how things were left for Omar Khan. The chart is split into a few categories and only 1 player is labeled as a ‘great' draft pick (Alex Highsmith). Donny Football Debrief – The Athletic ranked the Top 25 college football rivalries and there is a glaring omission.

In this Friday Fourth of July episode, Josh Carney and Alex Kozora discuss the three-year contract extension Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan received yesterday. We discuss the busy offseason Khan and the organization has had and wonder the status of Assistant GM Andy Weidl, too. Josh and I talk about why Khan received his extension, too. Josh shares his thoughts on Monday's mega-deal that sent FS Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Miami Dolphins in return for CB Jalen Ramsey, TE Jonnu Smith, and a 2027 Day Three pick swap. Josh weighs in if he likes the move and the impact Pittsburgh's aggressive offseason could have on 2025's results. We discuss why Fitzpatrick was dealt and what Ramsey's role on the defense could look like. Josh also shares the free agent addition he'd like to see Pittsburgh make. We briefly discuss the Steelers' Malibu workout that took place earlier this week. Several pass-catchers joined QB Aaron Rodgers in California for at least one practice and we offer our thoughts on how much it will help ahead of training camp. Finishing out our beat writer offseason reviews this week, Browns Zone's Scott Petrak joins myself to recap the Cleveland Browns past few months. We discuss the reason why Cleveland drafted DL Mason Graham in the first round, why the team moved up for QB Shedeur Sanders, and who has the edge in the team's up-for-grabs quarterback battle.

On a special Thursday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko joins host Adam Bittner to analyze the team's receiving options following the acquisition of Jonnu Smith. Will OC Arthur Smith use the tight end more as a WR2 behind DK Metcalf? Given that Smith put up big receiving options last year with the Miami Dolphins? How will his presence impact the target share for guys like Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson and Robert Woods? And can we put talk of signing free agents like Amari Cooper, Keenan Allen, Gabe Davis and Allen Lazard to rest with Smith in the fold? In the second segment, the guys talk safety options. Could GM Omar Khan try to sign one before training camp, with names like Justin Simmons, Julian Blackmon and Marcus Williams still available via NFL free agency? How much will Jalen Ramsey himself fill the void left by Minkah Fitzpatrick? What are reasonable expectations for Juan Thornhill? And what happens to the safety group if DeShon Elliott gets hurt. Our duo tackles those topics, plus some quick-hitters in the third segment. Have the Steelers really been doing things much differently under Khan? Or have they been more aggressive for a while now without perceptions of them keeping u[? Will Aaron Rodgers get any benefit from working with his receivers this week in Malibu, Calif.? And what should fans want to hear from Ramsey at his introduction?

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 Steelers offseason, including Monday's big trade with the Miami Dolphins, and how much they're focused on trying to beat -- or be -- the Baltimore Ravens. The 2025 season fell apart for Pittsburgh, thanks to a five-game losing streak to close the season that included two losses to the Ravens. The latter, in the playoffs, involved Baltimore racking up nearly 300 rushing yards against the Steelers defense. So how much of what Omar Khan is doing this offseason has been about trying to reverse the trend against the Ravens, and possibly even taking some of Baltimore's ideas for themselves?

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the team giving GM Omar Khan a new three-year contract extension, moving DeShon Elliott to FS, where the team is at in terms of QB proofing their offense and if Arthur Smith could find himself back in head coaching conversations if the Steelers offense takes the strides they can. Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The guys talked about Omar Khan and his moves as a GM and why it's a little bit similar to what kids try to do in Madden. Does being busy mean you are doing good work? The guys think the team still feels stale by the time we get deep into the season even if they are being bold right now. The Steelers have shuffled the deck chairs a lot the last few seasons to similar results with zero playoff wins. The heist of the Bears for Chase Claypool is Khan's best move. What is his worst move?

BREAKING: The Steelers have extended Omar Khan through the 2028 season. The guys are having a tough time ultimately judging the job done by Khan so far in his role. How much of a say does he have on big decisions? We hear so many say Mike Tomlin holds iron fist, but how true is that? The offseason acquisitions have notably been more exciting with Khan at the helm, but there were a few key variables as to why Kevin Colbert didn't always need to be.

Poni and Mueller react to the Steelers extending Omar Khan, and discuss what his best move was as the GM of the Steelers. Jason Mackey joins the show to talk about the investigation of Luis Ortiz and the Pirates current hot streak.

KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob reacted to the Omar Khan extension news. What moves have the Steelers made that have Khan's hands all over it? Bob thinks the DK Metcalf trade was strongly dictated by Khan. What does Bob think stands as Khan's best and worst move so far? The conversation turned to exercise and how Poni may have a torn Achilles in his future. This was sparked from Jaylen Warren sharing video of his unique training regimen. Bob said he isn't much a weight lifter anymore.

What is Omar Khan's worst move as GM of the Steelers? Bob Pompeani joins the show to discuss Omar Khan, Steelers. Donny Football Debrief: Who is the best draft pick at every draft slot in NFL history?

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray said the legacy of Omar Khan so far is about bold, aggressive moves. Ray said his tenure will ultimately be defined by what happens in the next couple of years and if he can finally find a QB. Ray wanted to remind people that Kenny Pickett was not a Khan draft pick. Did the Steelers trade Minkah Fitzpatrick in his prime? Ray hadn't heard anything about Minkah's relationship with Mike Tomlin going south. Ray said the Steelers believe in DeShon Elliott. Juan Thornhill is coming off a bad year and Ray thinks that's why there is talk of Jalen Ramsey sliding into the safety spot at some point this season. Ray thinks the team should find someone to push Thornhill going into the season. Ray gave a strong endorsement for strawberry pretzel salad.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. He gives his thoughts on whether Steelers GM Omar Khan has made his team too old with moves for veterans including DK Metcalf, Aaron Rodgers, Darius Slay Jr., Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith. Can this team really compete with the NFL's best by making a roster that already including Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt older? Or could it be a fatal flaw for coach Mike Tomlin and Co.? And are some people underestimating the contributions young players like Derrick Harmon, Kaleb Johnson, Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu and Joey Porter Jr. could make? Paul tackles those questions and more.

ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler joined the show. Jeremy said based on everything he has heard around the league, he doesn't have the expectation of TJ Watt being dealt. Jeremy referenced the Myles Garrett trade request and the deal that happened a few days later. Jeremy talked about the aggressive nature Omar Khan brings to negotiations. Jeremy is under the impression that Watt wants the guaranteed money to be higher than Garrett's. The guys asked Jeremy about what a trade package could look like if the Steelers wanted to move on from Watt. Jeremy still thinks Gabe Davis could be on the table for the Steelers before we reach training camp. Does Jonnu Smith solve any offensive issues? He said Jalen Ramsey is a chess piece that can play a lot of different spots in that defense. Will the Steelers add to the offense with another receiver? Jeremy tried explaining some of the financial details in yesterday's blockbuster trade.

We dove back into the big trade from yesterday. What was the reason why the Steelers felt like they could part with Minkah Fitzpatrick? The guys wondered if this trade was more a ‘cutting of losses' for the team. Was Minkah one of the reasons why there was a lack of communication on defense last season? We looked into a few avenues as to how this trade could have gone down. We noted that both teams are looking at the trade from a different perspective. ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler joined the show.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray reacted to the words from Aaron Rodgers the other day, stating that it will likely be his final season. Ray does think this all has a chance to work out, which could mean a respectable showing in the playoffs and maybe even a win. Ray doesn't believe the Rodgers legacy hinges on what he does in Pittsburgh. How much pressure would Mike Tomlin be under if the Steelers can't win a playoff game? Ray thinks pressure could be put on Omar Khan and Andy Weidl to circle that next QB. A few quick hitters for Ray before he said goodbye involving Jaylen Warren, Calvin Austin and TJ Watt.

At the halfway point of the season, the Pirates are 32-50. What has gone so wrong this season? Chris said the real story is about Bob Nutting, but not in the way you may expect. Chris went through a couple of notable owners in sports that showed a true identity. It seems like the GM is safe when he shouldn't be. How many more times can we watch Ben Cherington screw something up? We struggled to think of many major positive moves made by GMBC in his tenure outside of Paul Skenes and Bailey Falter.

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 question about a new NFL Draft trade trend that Omar Khan has jumped on. The Steelers' trade of George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys contains both a third-round pick in 2026 coming from Dallas to Pittsburgh, and a swap of 2027 NFL Draft picks, with the Cowboys' fifth-rounder coming to Pittsburgh in exchange for the Steelers' sixth-rounder. This type of trade is a relatively new trend around the NFL, but Khan has been a keen adopter. What are the benefits and why do NFL teams like this structure? Alan breaks it down.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder and Associates, the Post-Gazette's Christopher Carter and Adam Bittner react to rumors tying the Steelers to Miami Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey. Should GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin move aggressively to make a move to add a former All-Pro alongside names like Joey Porter Jr., Darius Slay Jr. and Cory Trice Jr.? Or is sitting tight the right move ahead of training camp and the preseason, when other names might become available across the league? The guys also give their thoughts on Jaire Alexander signing with the Baltimore Ravens. Should Khan be trying to keep up with the AFC North rival in a roster arms race? Or is keeping NFL draft capital with an eye toward the loaded QB class that could include names like Arch Manning, Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava and Cade Klubnik the more prudent course? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
