Podcast appearances and mentions of patrick queen

This week Michael is joined by two Steelers linebackers Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson, who recap on their time in Ireland, look ahead to France - and discuss the big season ahead.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jim Wexell was boots on the ground at Steelers camp — and what he saw from Pittsburgh's young quarterbacks, roster hopefuls and developing depth tells a much bigger story than the preseason box score. Will Howard showed composure in the two-minute drill. Drew Allar appears to be making progress with his mechanics. And Mike McCarthy's comments to the beat writers offered some revealing clues about how the Steelers are developing their young quarterbacks. But that's only part of what stood out. Jim Wexell, Jeremy Hritz, and Bo Marchionte break down what they saw inside Steelers camp and around the team, including: • Why Will Howard may have shown enough to secure his place in Pittsburgh's quarterback room • What McCarthy's decision-making during Howard's fourth-down throw could reveal • Drew Allar's developing footwork, deep ball and short-area accuracy • The intriguing Tony Romo comparison for Howard — and why it's worth watching • Why Lew Nichols continues to make his case, including an important pass-protection rep • Germie Bernard's physicality and his Deebo Samuel/Hines Ward-style potential • Why Jim Wexell believes Robert Spears-Jennings is a legitimate seventh-round find • What the Steelers' offensive tackle struggles could mean for Broderick Jones and Dylan Cook • Why Kaleb Johnson's limited preseason workload deserves attention • Keeanu Benton's new contract and where he could fit on the future defensive line • What Elandon Roberts brings to a linebacker room featuring Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson • The deeper meaning behind Mike McCarthy's comments about eliminating mental errors And there's an important distinction here: these aren't observations from a box score or a generic Steelers news feed. These are people who were actually there. Wexell has been covering the Steelers for years, and the conversation goes beyond who caught a pass or who gained the most yards. It gets into the little things reporters see at practice, what coaches emphasize, how players are being deployed, and which developments could actually matter when the roster gets cut down. The Steelers still have plenty to figure out before the regular season. The quarterback room is developing, the offensive line has questions, the running back depth chart remains unsettled, and several young players are trying to force their way onto the roster.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Ray Fittipaldo and Christopher Carter break down the first official day of training camp Wednesday at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. How did Aaron Rodgers look? What did the quarterback order tell us about the position at this early juncture of the season? Do they plan on keeping all four? And how did rookie Drew Allar throw the ball in his first session as a pro? What were the differences between a Mike McCarthy practice and a Mike Tomlin one? How will things heat up once pads come on next week? And what other players like Patrick Queen and Asante Samuel Jr. showed out on the defensive side of the ball?

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?

Steelers insider Nick Farabaugh of PennLive joined the show. The Steelers have now officially signed Darnell Savage after being rumored for weeks. The Steelers are hosting their first day of mandatory minicamp. Safety isn't deep and Savage can help by doing little things right. Jalen Ramsey is going to move around, but play a lot of slot corner. If the Steelers play three safeties, Payton Wilson or Patrick Queen could go off the field. Nick doesn't think DeShon Elliott's game will dip after suffering a serious injury.

Retired Steelers Linebacker, Arthur Moats, is joined by Dr. TaNeisha from  @ReallyFlawed  ​⁠​⁠& the Emmy Award Winning WRAL Channel 5 Producer in Raleigh, NC, Mark Bergin, to discuss Patrick Queen's comments surrounding his contract and which Steelers player is next in-line for a contract extension!

On the Friday 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 react to a busy week at the team's OTAs. Is new coach Mike McCarthy's plan to get playmakers including DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Jaylen Warren, Rico Dowdle, Germie Bernard, Roman Wilson and Pat Freiermuth realistic? Or too ambitious as the team welcomes back Aaron Rodgers at QB? And what should we make of Patrick Queen's comments about NFL trade rumors that swirled around him this offseason and GM Omar Khan's glut of extension candidates to deal with this summer, including Joey Porter Jr., Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington?

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, the Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Christopher Carter ponder the future for players who've either been marginalized in the past or overlooked by many since the start of the NFL offseason workout program. Can Kaleb Johnson overcome his special teams gaffe that landed him in former coach Mike Tomlin's proverbial dog house and prove that he belongs in the backfield alongside Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle? How will Roman Wilson respond to offseason moves for Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard that figure to push him down the depth chart? And how will new coach Mike McCarthy use tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington? Our duo ponders those questions. Then analyzes Payton Wilson's ability to help teammate Patrick Queen shore up communication from the middle linebacker spot and chart a future for that position group with Queen's contract status uncertain past 2026.

How can Graham get the most out of veteran stars like T.J. Watt, Patrick Queen, Jalen Ramsey and Cam Heyward? What about his experience makes him the man for the job? What's the latest on the quarterback situation? How does Aaron Rodgers' official return affect Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and Drew Allar? Could they keep all four?

Watt, and massive defensive tackles like Dontay Corleone and Kayden McDonald to eventually succeed Cam Heyward.

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark, a Little League legend, had some advice for Mullsy ahead of his first pitch tonight. Mark didn't have anything off-the-record from the Steelers in regards to the draft. He wouldn't be shocked if the Steelers move up 4-5 spots in the 1st round if someone they loved is still on the board. Is Omar Khan bound to make a big splash? Kaboom is getting the feel that WR is starting to pull away again as the Steelers 1st round priority. What about this smoke around offensive tackle? Mark hates the idea of safety in the 1st round. More w/ Mark – Jordyn Tyson worked out for a handful of NFL teams today. Did he play his way out of being available 21st overall? With the regime change, Mark said it's hard to know if the Steelers will have the same draft strategy as before. Mark doesn't understand the idea of taking a QB in this draft unless it's one of their final picks and it's someone they can toss on the practice squad. Is Will Howard ready to lead this team? Mark still believes Aaron Rodgers gives them the best chance to win. Can you complain about last season since they won the division? This turned into a battle over 10-win seasons and lack of playoff success. Mark is interested to see how things operate now with Mike Tomlin out and Mike McCarthy in. More w/ Mark – How much longer are we waiting on Aaron Rodgers? Mark thinks the team has a pretty good idea of what Rodgers will do. Mark brushed aside the comments of Patrick Queen, who said it's 50/50 on Rodgers returning. Mark hopes Denzel Boston is their pick at 21 because he thinks that's a player that will actually be on the board. What happens if Vega Ioane is on the board?

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo attempt to read the tea leaves of the latest prospect visits ahead of the NFL draft. Are GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy prioritizing the defensive back spots by bringing in safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren and CB Chris Johnson? How would those players fit alongside names like Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Ramsey, DeShon Elliott and Jamel Dean? And what other names should we potentially watch in those spots for new DC Patrick Graham's unit? Our duo tackles those topics, then wonders what the visits of linebackers including Kyle Louis, Jaden Dugger and Harold Perkins Jr. could mean for that position group. Is a Patrick Queen trade still possible? Or is Khan just scouting for depth to play alongside Queen, Payton Wilson, Cole Holcomb and Malik Harrison? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On the Saturday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to sort through the week in mock draft picks for GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy's team from around the internet. Why does it seem like there's very little consensus forming around the team's biggest needs at a national level? Is that a function of Mike Tomlin's departure? Or the numerous needs of the roster beyond stars like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Joey Porter Jr., DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, Michael Pittman and others? The guys ponder those questions, then talk about some mock draft picks on an individual level. Could T.J. Parker make any sense at EDGE? Or are the Steelers well stocked there with Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig and Jack Sawyer joining Watt? Is Jake Golday worth looking at as a potential run-stuffing middle linebacker next to Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson? Would Emmanuel Pregnon be worth trading up to select as a Day 2 guard? How genuine should the interest in Emmanuel McNeil-Warren be after his visit this week? And how should we interpret Denzel Boston's own stop at the team's facility? Is the front office really considering another big, outside-oriented receiver? Or is it trying to throw other teams off about its interest in inside-outside types like Makai Lemon, Jordyn Tyson and Omar Cooper Jr.? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

April 10, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 118 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, which was recorded late Thursday night, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the recent pre-draft visitors that the team hosted. That means that we fully discuss three draft prospects in WR Makai Lemon, S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, and TE Marlin Klein. Alex and I also go over the 16 prospects that are scheduled to attend the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh in two weeks. After going over that list of players, we note a few interesting things concerning a few of those players along with the positions represented. After the pre-draft visitor and draft attendee discussions, Alex and I discuss the recent post I wrote concerning the plausibility of the Steelers trading up in the first round with the Dallas Cowboys. We go over whether the Steelers could, should or would trade ILB Patrick Queen to the Cowboys to move up to 12th overall in the first round to select either OG Olaivavega Ioane or possibly even Lemon. We discuss what might need to happen in the first 11 picks of the 2026 NFL Draft before the Cowboys might consider trading out of the 12th over position and how conversations with the Steelers, and possibly even Queen, would likely need to happen before the first round gets underway. We also discuss why the Steelers might be open to trading Queen and why they also might not be interested in dealing him. Later in the show, Alex discusses his thoughts on the Steelers possibly trading down in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft with the Buffalo Bills. This 99-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this show by answering several email questions we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to ponder GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy's trade options ahead of the NFL draft. Could either T.J. Watt or Alex HIghsmith be moved in a bid to keep Nick Herbig on the roster long term? Will the Patrick Queen rumors flare up against in the next couple of weeks after dominating the news cycle during free agency? Is Jalen Ramsey a wild card to watch? Does uncertainty around Keeanu Benton make him a trade option? And how will the tight end situation shake out with Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks through options tot trade up or down in the 2026 order.

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise ponders the NFL draft future of top Pitt prospect Kyle Louis. Should GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy consider the decorated Panthers linebacker as a Day 2 pick? Would his skills overlap too closely with those of current Steelers linebackers Cole Holcomb, Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson? Or do the Steelers need to add to the group with Queen's contractual future in Pittsburgh uncertain? And are there positions Khan simply needs to focus on more urgently to surround stars like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Joey Poter Jr., DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and -- possibly -- Aaron Rodgers? Paul tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On the Saturday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to sort through the week in NFL mock draft picks for the team. How closely should GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy be looking at the middle linebacker spot with Patrick Queen's future uncertain? And is CJ Allen a prospect worth bringing in at that spot? How does the Michael Pittman Jr. trade impact the attractiveness of a prospect like Zachariah Branch? And could corners Keith Abney and Davison Igbinosun provide needed depth behind Joey Porter Jr. and Jamel Dean at the outside corner spots? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks offensive line. Why has Blake Miller emerged as a favorite of multiple national analysts as a potential replacement for Broderick Jones? Should Kadyn Proctor and Monroe Freeling be considered better fits positionally? What factors might cause the Steelers to settle on Penn State's Vega Ioane as their first-round pick?

The Steelers have signed Jaquan Brisker, which had Poni in a fun move. He likes the move for the Steelers defense, even though it's a little bit more money to that side of the football. 2 of the questions Poni wanted to ask to start the show – is Brisker one of the 10 best Pittsburgh natives to play for his hometown team? And is he a Top 5 Penn State football player to play for the Steelers? BREAKING: Jeff Capel will return as Pitt head coach next season. Steelers reporter Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. Nick, a Pitt grad, said he is ‘beat down' by the news of Jeff Capel coming back to the basketball program next season. Nick doesn't think another ‘big' free agent will be signed by the Steelers after the Jaquan Brisker acquisition, but some smaller moves will be made. Nick said the expectation is for Aaron Rodgers to come back, but you just never know. Nick pointed out that Patrick Queen got paid by the Steelers today, the third day of the league year, so a trade for him is very unlikely.

March 12 – Ep. 93: For today's episode, Joe Clark and Ross McCorkle discuss the first week of free agency and the Steelers' various additions, losses, and retained players. Next, we sift through the Patrick Queen rumors and try to decipher if there is any credence to the idea. We also try to answer the question of how to replace him if he does end up getting traded. Finally we discuss the latest Will Howard hype in Pittsburgh and debate whether it's real or not. To end the show, we answer a listener question about how free agency shifted draft needs.

What has happened in the last hour as the new league year is here in the NFL? The Bills got Bradley Chubb, the consolation prize for them losing out on Trey Hendrickson. The Ravens front office will speak in moments about their interesting start to the offseason. Javon Hargrave isn't coming back to Pittsburgh – he's headed to Green Bay. The Steelers made a few moves official, including the Cam Heyward extension and re-signing of Cole Holcomb. Are the Patrick Queen trade rumors slowing down? ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi believes the words of Eric DeCosta that the Ravens were fully preparing to have both Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson as their edge rushers next season. Aditi dove into some of the medical concerns that allowed the Ravens to back out of the deal with the Raiders. She said it was always going to be contingent on what the Ravens' doctors took away from the physical on Crosby. Aditi has it on good authority that the Ravens were ‘excited' as of yesterday to bring Crosby in. Aditi told the guys the Ravens didn't do anything fishy here and DeCosta would never be one to go the shady route. Aditi doesn't think any team will be afraid to do a deal with the Ravens because of this. Aditi disagrees that the Ravens are ‘better off' with how this worked out, even after keeping the pair of 1st round picks. Aditi said Hendrickson is not a game-wrecker the way Crosby is.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to analyze the team's move on Day 1 of the "legal tampering" period ahead of NFL free agency. What kind of replacement will Rico Dowdle be for Kenneth Gainwell within coach Mike McCarthy's offense? Will he be the No. 1 running back over Jaylen Warren? Or will they split carries? What does the signing mean for Kaleb Johnson following a disappointing rookie years? What will Michael Pittman Jr. add to the receiver group across from DK Metcalf? And how does Jamel Dean bolster the secondary next to Joey Porter Jr., Asante Samuel Jr. and Jalen Ramsey? Our duo tackles those question, then ponders widespread trade rumors involving Patrick Queen. Could GM Omar Khan really be looking to move on from him after he showed improvement in 2025? What could the Steelers reasonably use Queen's cap space on if they moved on from him at this stage? And where would Queen's potential departure leave the middle linebacker group that includes names like Cole Holcomb, Payton Wilson and Malik Harrison? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Has Steelers GM Omar Khan done enough to make his roster better with the additions of Michael Pittman Jr., Rico Dowdle and Jamel Dean? Or are clearer answers at the quarterback and guard positions still needed? Is Kirk Cousins a reasonable solution at QB if Aaron Rodgers decides to retire? Or should new coach Mike McCarthy focus on developing backup Will Howard? And what should we make of trade rumors swirling around linebacker Patrick Queen? Paul tackles those question, plus all the the action around the AFC North. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Following a riveting Pitt basketball win, Poni started by praising Mullsy for his Patrick Queen scoop yesterday. Now we are hearing more and more scuttlebutt about the Steelers trying to trade their big-money inside linebacker. BREAKING: The Steelers have signed Cameron Johnston, the punter that signed with the team a few years ago and got cut going into last season. Back to Queen – was he a Mike Tomlin guy? Mike McCarthy isn't under the pressure to keep Queen around and the Steelers could free up some cap space to be used elsewhere. Has Queen ever been a good player without a player like Roquan Smith next to him? The guys want the potential draft compensation to be in 2027 and not 2026. Donny Football Debrief – Moves around the NFL so far today.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to react to GM Omar Khan's comments at the NFL combine. What should we make of Khan saying he has "no deadline" for QB Aaron Rodgers to return? How important is it for the team to get him signed quickly after Khan indicated he expects a decision from Rodgers sooner than it came in 2025? What are the implications of Rodgers' potential return to a QB room that also includes Mason Rudolph and Will Howard at present? And what impact will Rodgers have on other offseason decisions? Our duo tackles those questions, then weighs potential trade options. Will Khan look to repeat his 2025 blockbuster moves for DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith? Or will this be a quieter spring? Would the Eagles' A.J. Brown be a good fit as a player known to be in the mix to move? Or would the Steelers be better off investing in a younger player in the NFL draft like Jordyn Tyson, Denzel Boston, Makai Lemon or Carnell Tate? And which players will other teams be asking Khan about? Does T.J. Watt top the list? And could others including Ramsey and Patrick Queen merit consideration as well? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
