May 28, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 139 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers signing rookie WR Montana Lemonious-Craig on Tuesday and how that now means the team has 91 players under contract. We also quickly go over the one-year contract that RB Trey Sermon recently signed in addition to the small signing bonuses that two other rookies reportedly received. The Steelers' first day of OTA practices took place on Tuesday so Alex and I go over everything notable from that momentous event. We discuss the four veteran players, OLB T.J. Watt, WR DK Metcalf, CB Darius Slay, and G Isaac Seumalo, that were reportedly absent from the voluntary Tuesday OTA practice. Alex and I go over the overall health of the Steelers at the start of OTAs and how it was great to see several players that dealt with injuries last season all on the practice field participation. QB Mason Rudolph was one of several players that met the media on Tuesday, so we go over what he had to say. We also go over the notable things that several other players said after Tuesday's first OTA practice as well. Former Steelers QB Terry Bradshaw had a lot to say during a Tuesday radio interview, so Alex and I make sure to review what the Hall of Famer said about the Steelers and their perceived pursuit of free agent QB Aaron Rodgers. Bradshaw isn't a huge fan of Rodgers, so we cover that aspect as well as what he said about the Steelers and their handling of former QB Kenny Pickett. Is it possible that the Steelers do indeed have some level of interest in trading for Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins, and especially if they are unable to sign Rodgers? Alex and I discuss Cousins not being present for the start of Falcons OTAs on Tuesday and why June 1 could be a huge date on the calendar when it comes to Atlanta possibly trading him. Alex and I go over the timeline of the Steelers situation with Rodgers that has now exceeded two months since he had a meeting with the organization in Pittsburgh. We discuss if Rodgers really will ultimately play for just $10 million in 2025 and how he possibly not signing with the Steelers until after mandatory minicamp just stinks overall. We also discuss how many more wins that Rodgers would be worth to the Steelers versus Rudolph being the starter. This 94-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap.

March 24, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 110 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, which was recorded late Sunday night, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers brining free agent QB Aaron Rodgers for a six hour visit on Friday. We discuss Rodgers fit in Pittsburgh, what his relationship with Steelers OC Arthur Smith might be like and much more. The quarterback free agents shrunk by one on Friday as Jameis Winston is signing with the New York Giants. We discuss what that might mean for QB Russell Wilson at this point. Could Wilson ultimately sign with the Cleveland Browns after the 2025 MNFGL Draft and cost his former team some compensatory draft pick value? Alex and I discuss that notion as well as the possibility of Wilson and former QB Kenny Pickett landing on another team together. Alex and I discuss how the Rodgers' visit on Friday prevented Steelers HC Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan from attending the Michigan pro day. We also discuss the possibility of the Steelers still selecting a quarterback in the middle rounds of 2025 NFL Draft. Are the Steelers still primed to select a defensive lineman in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft? We have that discussion. Alex and I also discuss the pro day schedule for this week and where we might see certain members from the Steelers' organization at. This 77-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap as well.

In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers having two more players, G Isaac Seumalo and QB Russell Wilson, added to the annual Pro Bowl Games this week as alternates. We discuss whether being added as a Pro Bowl alternate should count for anything when it comes to a player's career resume. Steelers team president Art Rooney II is making his annul media rounds this week to give his thoughts on the 2024 season as well as the future of the organization moving into the 2025 season. As usual, Rooney gave us quite a few talking points to parse. Alex and I go over what Rooney had to say about the quarterback position heading into the offseason.

We also discuss the positional needs for the offseason that Rooney hit on as well as his thoughts on his continued trust in HC Mike Tomlin. Rooney also discussed the size of the coaching staff, potential changes to the staff and how he thought OC Arthur Smith did in his first season in Pittsburgh. Rooney made it sound like OLB T.J. Watt will be extended this offseason, so we discuss that topic. We also discuss what Rooney said about WR George Pickens moving forward. We also go over it sounding like RB Najee Harris won't be back in 2025 and if the Steelers would dare think about drafting another running back in the first round again. We go over Rooney saying the team really didn't learn anything from the drafting and subsequently failing of QB Kenny Pickett now that he's gone from the organization.

March 17, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 102 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Sunday show, which was recorded very late on Saturday night, Alex Kozora and I get right to the news of the Pittsburgh Steelers acquiring QB Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears via a trade earlier in the day. Alex and I discuss the compensation value that the Steelers had in trading for Fields and how the Bears effectively just had to give him away to him.

We also discuss his contract situation and the fifth-year option decision the Steelers have on him these next several weeks.

Why did the team make this move now? What should we make of the light return of a pick swap into the third round and two 2025 seventh-round picks? Where will general manager Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin go from here at quarterback? Are NFL draft options like J.J. McCarthy, Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr. now priorities?

March 11, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 99 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the news of the Pittsburgh Steelers signing veteran QB Russell Wilson. We look at the addition of Wilson from all angles and the expectation that he will be the team's Week One starter in 2024. We also discuss what the Wilson signing means for QB Kenny Pickett moving forward. The signing of Wilson also means that QB Mason Rudolph is unlikely to re-sign so we discuss that topic in addition to the team still needing to add two more quarterbacks to their roster this offseason. Will one of those come via a late draft pick? How much better will the Steelers be in 2024 if Wilson is the team's starter and can the team at least win a playoff game? What does Wilson need to do to make the Steelers offense more competitive? We discuss all of those things. The Steelers released WR Allen Robinson II after our Friday show ended so we discuss that news along with the team re-signing DT Breiden Fehoko. What will happen to Steelers WR Diontae Johnson in this next week? Will he be traded? Alex and I revisit that topic and discuss what it would take for us to deal Johnson at this point. Alex released a new mock draft ahead of the NFL legal tampering period starting on Monday, so we go over his seven selections thoroughly. How much cash will the Steelers spend in free agency this year? Alex and I go over my projection related to that topic. We also go over the positions the Steelers are likely to add via free agency this year and what the max value might be when it comes to the team's top one or two signings in the coming weeks. Alex and I also address the Steelers own unrestricted free agents and which ones are likely to be re-signed.

January 19, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 79 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday show, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about what all Pittsburgh Steelers HC Mike Tomlin had to say on Thursday during his annual end-of-the-season press conference. Tomlin discussed how the team will go about looking for a new offensive coordinator in the coming weeks, so we spend a little time discussing that topic. We also talk about how the team would apparently like to re-sign QB Mason Rudolph this offseason to compete against QB Kenny Pickett. We discuss the outlook for the quarterback position as a whole when it comes to the 2024 Steelers. Tomlin obviously gave us several other talking points to discuss as part of his Thursday press conference. We go through them all one-by-one. We discuss the health outlook of the Steelers heading into the offseason. With it sounding like the Steelers will pick up the fifth-year option on RB Najee Harris this offseason, Alex and I discuss the possibility of the team signing him to an extension. We also talk about whether T Broderick Jones will get moved to the left side in 2024. It sounds like DT Cameron Heyward won't be retiring this offseason so Alex and I discuss that news during this show and how his contract might be manipulated in the coming weeks. The Steelers signed 17 players to Reserve/Future contracts this week and with an initial Rule of 51 now established for the team, Alex and I go over the 2024 salary cap situation and outlook moving into the offseason. We discuss possible contract terminations, restructurings and much, much more in this show. With the Divisional Round of the 2023 NFL playoffs now on tap, Alex and I give our picks against the spread for the four games that will take place this weekend.

January 10, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 74 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday show, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the health of the Pittsburgh Steelers as they head into the playoffs. The team made a few transactions since our Monday show, so we go over what all has transpired when it comes to the practice squad, which now includes the re-addition of P Brad Wing out of nowhere. Should a big deal be made out of the Steelers' weekly depth chart, especially when it comes to the quarterback position? We discuss that topic and go over the fact that QB Kenny Pickett remains listed ahead of QB Mason Rudolph even though QB Mitch Trubisky has been shuffled to the third spot in the group. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin held his weekly press conference on Tuesday to recap the team's Week 18 game against the Baltimore Ravens and preview the upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills. Alex and I go over everything that he had to say on Tuesday that was notable. With the all-22 tape from the Steelers week 18 win against the Ravens now fully digested, Alex and I recap our observations from it when it comes to the team's play on the offensive and defensive sides of the football. We discuss several individual performances from the Week 18 game and make sure to tip out caps to a few players such as TE Connor Heyward and S Eric Rowe. We make sure to highlight a few noticeable offensive schematics that showed up on tape against the Ravens.

In this Monday show, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the quarterback situation for the Pittsburgh Steelers coming out of their big Week 17 road win on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Alex and talk about QB Mason Rudolph remaining the starter moving forward, how the situation went down with QB Kenny Pickett on Sunday with him being inactive and not the emergency third option and more. We are left with a lot more questions than answers concerning the Steelers' future past this season at the quarterback position on the heels of everything that transpired these last few weeks. Part of those questions revolve around how Pickett was handled on Sunday and what all HC Mike Tomlin had to say on the position topic on Monday during his weekly press conference. We go next level breaking down everything that has and hasn't happened with Pickett this past week and even address a few rumors that seem to be circulating Monday morning concerning the team's former first round draft pick. It's a long discussion following a big Sunday win, but we both make sure to attack every aspect of the Steelers current quarterback situation heading into Week 18. Tomlin gave an injury rundown on Monday, so we make sure to address that in this show, We also discuss the Steelers playoff chances and multiple paths to securing a spot in this show.

December 27, 2023 - Season 14, Episode 68 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday show, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the latest news concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers and that includes us going over the latest transactions the team has made since their Saturday win against the Cincinnati Bengals. We also go over what the team's injury situation looks like heading into the Week 17 Sunday road game against the Seattle Seahawks. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin held his weekly press conference on Tuesday and most of that centered around the potential starting quarterback for the Sunday road game against the Seahawks. We discuss how Tomlin handled that press conference and how it sure looks to be shaping up that QB Mason Rudolph will ultimately start on Sunday. We talk about how Tomlin gave himself sort of an out regarding QB Kenny Pickett this week.
