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 strong safety DeShon Elliott to a two-year contract extension on Monday, and whether general manager Omar Khan made a good deal. Elliott has agreed to a two-year contract extension with $12.5 million in new money, which will make him just the 30th-highest-paid safety in the NFL, despite a strong season with the Steelers in 2024. So how did the Khan Artist work his magic this time? Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 how much of a hurry Omar Khan should be in when it comes to making an addition to his wide receivers room. The Steelers have reportedly not been aggressive in making offers on the few receivers that are available. Should Khan be in a hurry to make a move, or is he better off being patient and waiting until closer to cut-down day? Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices.

On the Monday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo analyze moves GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin could make to solidify the roster after officially signing QB Aaron Rodgers over the weekend. Is an extension for T.J. Watt the next priority? Should they pursue a viable WR2 to play next to DK Metcalf? Would names like Gabe Davis and/or Amari Cooper fit in that role? Or could they look for a trade to add to the defensive backfield in the form of Packers star Jaire Alexander, who's being cut by the Green Bay Packers? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Instead of Aaron Rodgers, who isn't even with the team yet, there is another Steeler facing a pivotal season in his career by the name of Broderick Jones. Chris touted for Jones a few years ago before the draft and so far, he hasn't been great, to say the least, in a Steelers uniform. Will the change to left tackle finally be what the doctor ordered? What does it say about Omar Khan and Andy Weidl if Broderick Jones never works out in Pittsburgh? Bucco Minute – Another Paul Skenes start tonight. What will the crowd look like?

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 whether the Steelers' contract with DK Metcalf is causing issues in the Pittsburgh locker room. There was a report by Mike Florio last week that the issue between the Steelers and T.J. Watt is the contract that Omar Khan and company handed out to DK Metcalf earlier this offseason.  Is that really a problem for the team? Alan breaks it down. 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 when we should expect Omar Khan to make a move at receiver. The Steelers have been calling all around the NFL in an obvious attempt to upgrade their wide receiver position, after trading George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Khan has been in touch with at least the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- and almost certainly a lot more than that. But does that mean that a move is at hand? Probably not. Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to a busy week in Pittsburgh sports news. Should the GM Omar Khan, coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers have allocated their offseason budget toward building roster depth for beyond just 2025? With deals similar to the one they made with DK Metcalf? Instead of pursuing a short-term QB solution in Aaron Rodgers? And if they knew Rodgers' indecision would last into OTAs, would they have handled things differently? What are the biggest storylines around OTAs otherwise? Is it the tackle situation with Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu? The receivers room with Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin III and Robert Woods jockeying for position behind Metcalf? is it Darius Slay Jr.'s arrival in the secondary? Or the re-loaded running back room with Trey Sermon, Kaleb Johnson and Kenneth Gainwell joining Jaylen Warren? Our duo tackles those questions, the Penguins coaching search and College Football Playoff expansion and what it could mean for Pitt and Penn State. Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, the guys analyze the team's recent hot streak. Is new manager Don Kelly making a meaningful difference compared to Derek Shelton? Or is the offense just getting some better luck? Is Kelly's future tied to Ben Cherington's? Or could Bob Nutting retain Kelly and change GMs this offseason? What should we make of how the club is handling young pitchers Bubba Chandler, Carmen Mlodzinski, Mike Burrows and Braxton Ashcraft? And is Henry Davis finally starting to round a corner?

Kenny Pickett said the Eagles showed him how it's supported to be done in the NFL. This is definitely Pickett taking a shot at the Steelers. It sounds like a shot at Art, Omar Khan, and Mike Tomlin.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. Should the Steelers really be looking at Kirk Cousins as a Plan B to Aaron Rodgers, as reporting from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggests? Would the veteran quarterback's production be worth his hefty price tag for general manager Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin? Or are they better off looking internally at options like Mason Rudolph and Will Howard? And what other storylines is Paul monitoring at Steelers OTAs, from the new-look receivers room with DK Metcalf and Robert Woods joining Roman Wilson and Calvin Austin III to the battle at tackle highlighting Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu? Paul tackles those topics, then recaps a busy weekend for the Pirates against the Milwaukee Brewers and the start of their West Coast road trip against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

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 leadership of president Art Rooney II. Rooney is a behind-the-scenes presence for the most part, letting general manager Omar Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin do most to the talking for the team, but he's still an integral part of the team's decision-making process. So what kind of leader is Rooney for the Steelers organization? Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. He weighs in on a report from MMQB's Albert Breer that the Steelers inquired about trading for New Orleans Saints receiver Chris Olave earlier in the offseason. Were they right to make their move for DK Metcalf instead? Should general manager Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin mount another attempt to acquire Olave as a No. 2 after sending George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys? And how much confidence should we have in the current receivers room that includes names like Robert Woods, Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson? Paul weighs in on those question, the NFL's decision not the ban the "tush push" popularized by the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles; and the conclusion of the Pirates' three-game series with the Cincinnati Reds at PNC Park.

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 how the pursuit of Aaron Rodgers fits into the Steelers' big-picture offseason plans. The Steelers came into the offseason without an answer at the quarterback position, which is largely what has held the team back compared to the best of the AFC over the last few season. After an early survey of the landscape, Steelers general manager Omar Khan correctly assessed that there was not a long-term franchise quarterback available to the team this offseason. So Khan turned to the future, using the team's rare situation with departing free agents to line up a haul of compensatory picks that will give Khan the ammunition he needs to trade up for a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft. So why the pursuit of Rodgers? Because the team is still trying to win. They were a good team in 2024, and had a great defense. They can probably be that or better with slightly better quarterback play in 2025, and while Rodgers is certainly not a long-term answer, he could possibly provide that for one season. The entire reason the team was selective about how they spent their free agent money this offseason was to maximize those 2026 comp picks and ensure that they'll be able to get the quarterback they want in 2026, no matter what happens on the field this year, and once that process was put in place, they're just trying to put the best team on the field they can for 2025.

May 15 – Ep. 55: On this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and Ross McCorkle kick things off by discussing the 2025 schedule release and how it's similar (and different) from last year's version. Are they set up for another December letdown? We give some of our way-too-early predictions to open up the show. For the next topic, we talk about the George Pickens trade that happened last week and whether or not we like the trade value in return. We also talk about the current WR room and if we are buying what Omar Khan was selling about the 2025 situation being way different. How large of a role will Calvin Austin III play and could the Steelers look to extend him this offseason? For the third topic, we push back on some comments made by Ryan Clark on ESPN about Mike Tomlin's message going stale and how he should leave the team. To wrap things up we answer a listener question about the 12 draft picks the Steelers are projected to have. Thank you for joining us for this 38-minute episode, and we hope to see your thoughts in the comment section.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to GM Omar Khan's comments about his receivers at rookie minicamp over the weekend. Does he really believe in the group as constituted, following the trade of George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys? Could Roman Wilson, Robert Woods and Calvin Austin really provide the necessary production behind DK Metcalf? Is Khan sending more smokescreens with an eye toward free agents like Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper? Our duo tackles those questions and more from rookie camp. What should we make of Will Howard's impressive practice performance? Can he push Mason Rudolph and possibly Aaron Rodgers come training camp? Or be a starter for this team in the future? And what difference will Trey Sermon make in the backfield next to names including Kaleb Johnson, Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. What should we make of George Pickens appearing to call the Steelers a "cheap organization" in the comments of an Instagram post — and his subsequent attempts to walk it back? Is there some validity to his statements? Or is this just another example of why general manager Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin were willing to trade him to the Dallas Cowboys last week? Paul answers those questions; gives thoughts on what we saw from names like Derrick Harmon, Kaleb Johnson, Jack Sawyer and Will Howard at rookie minicamp; and weighs in on the Pirates' weekend series against the Atlanta Braves, in which new manager Don Kelly guided to them to a pair of victories.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss some transactional news, including the team signing veteran RB Trey Sermon and if that could have any impact on Cordarrelle Patterson. Do the Steelers have the same amount or more drama than the rest of the league? Is there just a bigger microscope on them? How much more does Omar Khan have to do to clean up the late career misses of Kevin Colbert before we can just evaluate Omar on his own timeline? Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this and more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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 very intentional process of revamping the character of the team's locker room. The 2025 NFL Draft rookie class made their debuts in black and gold over the weekend, and they seem like yet another group of solid-character players -- the third straight such class of youngsters to come through the doors of UPMC Rooney Sports Complex under new general manager Omar Khan. At the same time, the Steelers have been finding ways to ship out the bad apples quicker than ever, sending Diontae Johnson out in 2024 with one season remaining on his second contract and jettisoning George Pickens this year with one year left on his rookie deal. It's enough of a trend that it feels intentional that the Steelers have heard the noise from the fans -- and from their own locker room -- about tightening up the ship, character-wise.

Steelers GM Omar Khan speaks with reporters in conjunction with the team's rookie minicamp at its South Side facility. He explains why the team decided to trade George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys this week; why he likes his depth at WR behind DK Metcalf with names like Roman Wilson, Robert Woods and Calvin Austin III; and why he didn't make a move with Pickens before the NFL draft.

Omar Khan is speaking for the first time since the Steelers moved on from George Pickens. What was his explanation behind it? What changed for the Steelers, more specifically, Mike Tomlin in this whole thing since he used to defend Pickens to the end of the earth? The guys wondered if this was some way to placate to Aaron Rodgers as we await his decision. Did things change when the Steelers acquired DK Metcalf? A few potential George Pickens replacements, including a wild card that had the guys intrigued. Bucco Minute – Tonight begins the Don Kelly era in Pittsburgh. Can we build the best Pittsburgh baseball team?

What changed for the Steelers, more specifically, Mike Tomlin in this whole thing since he used to defend Pickens to the end of the earth? The guys wondered if this was some way to placate to Aaron Rodgers as we await his decision. Did things change when the Steelers acquired DK Metcalf?

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. The guys asked Mark about the big news of the week and everyone that was surrounding the trade of George Pickens to the Cowboys. Mark suggested that things were way uglier behind-the-scenes with Pickens than we realize. Does Mark believe in what was said by Omar Khan about the state of the WR room? Mark claims Aaron Rodgers may not even know Pickens got traded. Mark likes Amari Cooper the most out of the available receivers. More w/ Mark – Poni got upset since the other 3 of us talked wrestling for a moment. Does George Pickens think he can hit big in the open market next offseason? More w/ Mark – Will Howard has signed his deal with the Steelers. Mark said there wasn't much to see on the first day of rookie minicamp since guys don't do a ton, but said Howard passes the ‘off the bus' test. Mark thinks Kaleb Johnson looks more like Le'Veon Bell than Najee Harris. Mark said Yahya Black carries the weight better than he expected. Mark raved about the look of Jack Sawyer and said Pittsburgh will love another ‘meathead linebacker.' The guys discussed a tweet from Cam Heyward about an hour ago. We also talked about Bill Belichick and the latest with JORDON. Then the conversation turned to sports movies and why Mark hates them.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to a busy week of Pittsburgh sports news. Are GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin signaling an intention to punt on the 2025 season after trading George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys? And allowing names like Najee Harris, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields to leave via NFL free agency in exchange for compensatory picks for the 2026 NFL draft? Or are they still serious about winning if they're keeping T.J. Watt in Pittsburgh and pursuing QB Aaron Rodgers on the open market? And how smart would it be to position for 2026 and its loaded QB class that includes names like Arch Manning, Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava and LaNorris Sellers? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks Penguins and Penn State football. Should GM Kyle Dubas regret the team's winning ways to end the season? Which resulted in the 11th overall pick in the upcoming NHL draft? Who are the candidates Jason is mostly looking toward to replace Mike Sullivan as coach? And did Nittany Lions coach James Franklin accomplish what he needed to in the transfer portal this offseason? Adding names like Syracuse WR Trebor Pena and North Carolina linebacker Amare Campbell to a team that hopes to compete for a College Football Playoff national title?

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to the team's decision to trade WR George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Why would GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin make this move now? After the NFL draft? If they thought they might trade Pickens, why didn't they draft a starter-quality receiver to pair with DK Metcalf? Could the team still sign a free agent like Keenan Allen or Amari Cooper? And could internal options like Calvin Austin III, Robert Woods and Roman Wilson step up? Our duo tackles those questions and more beyond the receivers room. How might the deal impact the team's pursuit of Aaron Rodgers in NFL free agency? And is the team clearly signaling an interest in acquiring a QB in the deep 2026 draft, the could include names such as Arch Manning, Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava and LaNorris Sellers?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern, primarily the Steelers' decision to trade George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a third-round pick in next year's NFL draft. How does this move fit into a confusing offseason so far, one that's included big additions in DK Metcalf, Kenneth Gainwell and Darius Slay Jr; big subtractions in the form of Najee Harris, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields; plus a protracted pursuit of quarterback Aaron Rodgers? Are general manager Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin serious about competing this year? Or are they looking toward the 2026 NFL draft, in which they now have a basket of picks to pursue a quarterback like Arch Manning, Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava and LaNorris Sellers? Paul tackles those questions and more on the football front, then talks Pirates and manager Derek Shelton's future after another series loss vs. the St. Louis Cardinals.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. Is former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger underrated compared to names like Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and others as former Baltimore Ravens rival Terrell Suggs suggested on a podcast recently? Or does he get his just due around the league? Paul offers thoughts on that topic, plus the continuing fallout from the NFL draft and general manager Omar Khan's selection of names like Derrick Harmon, Kaleb Johnson, Jack Sawyer and Will Howard. Then later, Paul reacts to the Pirates' weekend sweep at the hands of the San Diego Padres and ponders the future of manager Derek Shelton. Should he be coaching for his job over the next couple of weeks? Will Oneil Cruz, Andrew McCutchen and the offense ever catch up to Paul Skenes, Mitch Keller and the pitching? And is there any hope left for this season with the team already more than 10 games under the .500 mark?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. Should Steelers general manager Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin consider Titans quarterback Will Levis as a potential alternative should their NFL free agency pursuit of Aaron Rodgers fall through now that Levis appears poised to be displaced by No. 1 overall NFL draft pick Cam Ward in Nashville? Or are Mason Rudolph or even newly drafted quarterback Will Howard preferable to Levis? And does any other potential Plan B quarterback option — including Atlanta's Kirk Cousins — appeal to Paul? He tackles those questions; looks ahead to the Pirates' three-game series with the San Diego Padres at PNC Park; and gives thoughts on the concern swirling around Paul Skenes after an uncharacteristically sloppy start last time out against the Chicago Cubs.

With Gregg Popovich stepping down today, Mike Tomlin is now the longest-tenured active head coach in North American pro sports. Tomlin is entering his 19th season in '25. Since the late stages of Ben Roethlisberger, what do we make of his work? With the draft happening last week, we looked at how things have gone since Omar Khan became the team's GM.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. How much better did general manager Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin make the team's roster this offseason now that the NFL draft is complete? Are the Steelers better positioned to compete following the trade for DK Metcalf; the signings of names like Kenneth Gainwell and Darius Slay Jr.; and the drafting of players including Derrick Harmon, Jack Sawyer, Kaleb Johnson and Will Howard? Was it enough to replace what they lost in players like Russell Wilson, Justin Fields and Najee Harris? And how much hinges on Aaron Rodgers finally signing with the team? Paul tackles those questions, then welcomes Plum hockey coach Jon Gratton to discuss the Penguins' firing of Mike Sullivan as coach on Monday.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo analyze the offense's backfield following the NFL draft. Is third-round pick Kaleb Johnson a better fit at running back than Najee Harris was? How do their styles compare and contrast? And how will he pair with new teammates Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren within OC Arthur Smith's system? Our duo tackles those questions. Then later, they offer thoughts on the interesting strategy GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin used in making middle-round selections including Jack Sawyer, Yahya Black and Will Howard. And in the third segment, they analyze the smokescreens the front office used in bringing prospects including Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart in for visits despite choosing not to take either in the end.

The Steelers had to wait awhile to add to their roster in the 2025 NFL Draft without a Round 2 selection.

Take a ride with Tate, Shannon & Big-G on the “PYB” podcast. We might need Yinz to pump your brakes when it comes to the Steelers 2025 offseason. You may not approve what's been done at the QB position, but how about what they haven't done. That would be spending good money chasing bad QB's. Since #7 retired they've had Mason, Duck, Mitch, Kenny, Russ and Justin whom they invested minimal resources in. They've even allowed Aaron Rodgers to lower his own market, saying he'd play for $10 mill. All this while building draft capital for next year or taking a big swing this year, by trading up and keeping the majority of next year's picks and compensatory picks to add a haul of young talent in 2026 There are two decision making strategies in organization building, fast, reactionary and emotional or executing what the Steelers are doing, being deliberate, logical and exercising discernment.

On a special Thursday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Ray Fittipaldo and Christopher Carter preview the first round of the NFL draft. How closely is GM Omar Khan really eyeing QBs including Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe as he holds the No. 21 overall pick? Could he and coach Mike Tomlin really pull the trigger and take one of those guys? Or are they trying to keep other teams guessing? If the Steelers don't go quarterback, is the eventual pick likely to come from the group of DLs Derrick Harmon, Kenneth Grant and Walter Nolen, or RBs Omarion Hampton and TreVeyon Henderson? And what are the chances a trade happens? Could Khan to move back in the first round to add additional draft capital? Believing one of his top targets will still be available later? Could he move a T.J. Watt or George Pickens to make the night more interesting? And what should we make of comments by Tomlin and Khan about Aaron Rodgers? Our duo tackles all of that and more.

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 how Omar Khan and the rest of the NFL general managers are preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft. The Steelers and other NFL teams don't use mock drafts in the traditional sense, and they build their own board when it comes to which players they want to draft. The Pittsburgh draft board is run by Andy Weidl, with inputs from all of the team's coaches and scouts, including Khan and Mike Tomlin. That board will determine who the Steelers will draft, based on who is available at the time. But there's another part of the process, that involves how to know whether a team should be trading up or back to get the player they really want, and that's a newer innovation as part of Khan's ascension to the general manager role. Alan breaks it down. # Learn more about your ad choices.

April 22 – Ep. 52: On this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and Ross McCorkle start by discussing the many topics covered in Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan's pre-draft press conference. That includes Jaylen Warren RB1, Aaron Rodgers not impacting draft plans, how they will approach draft trades, and Tomlin being impressed with Shedeur Sanders. For the next topic, we discuss the idea of trading back being more likely than trading up and some reports that indicate a quarterback could be the target at the end of the first round. For the third topic, we discuss Cameron Heyward's PSA to fans during draft season to believe half (or less) of what you hear. To wrap things up we answer a listener question about Jalen Milroe's upside versus Shedeur Sanders' (perhaps) limited ceiling.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo ponder the importance of the 2025 NFL draft to the franchise's long-term future. Why is it essential for GM Omar Khan, assistant GM Andy Weidl and coach Mike Tomlin to properly balance short-term needs with the potential to add long-term staples? How does that balance fit into the conversations around names including DLs Derrick Harmon, Kenneth Grant and Walter Nolen; QBs Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart; RBs Omarion Hampton and Dylan Sampson; and defensive backs like Jahdae Barron? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks QBs. How did the franchise get here? With only Mason Rudolph as their only viable option under contract? Should they have taken more NFL draft chances on QBs following Ben Roethlisberger's retirement? Or even before it? Or were they correct to take the chances they did with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson last season. Or potentially Aaron Rodgers in 2025? Then in the third segment, the guys ponder lessons from former GM Kevin Colbert's early successes and his late failures that contributed to the current state of today's roster.
