On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo look ahead to Week 2 of OTAs. Is T.J. Watt's absence during contract negotiations being overplayed? Or has the edge rusher earned the right to miss voluntary workouts? Plus, assuming Watt is on the field by Week 1, how can the Steelers use him and Alex Highsmith more effectively to ramp up their pass rush? And behind them, is Payton Wilson ready to be a full-time starting linebacker?

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Brian Batko and Christopher Carter react to the end of a busy week of OTAs for coach Mike Tomlin's team. Did Alex Highsmith drop hints about T.J. Watt's contract extension talks? Will that deal get done soon? Or could it drag into the summer as talks with Pat Freiermuth and Cam Heyward did last year? In segment two, the guys ponder the upside Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay Jr. has a top cornerback pairing. And in the final segment, the Brian and Chris digest a brand new trade rumor linking the Steelers to tight end Jonnu Smith. Would he be a good addition to Arthur Smith's offense alongside Freiermuth and Darnell Washington? Or should the Steelers stick with what the have?
Ray doesn't think the Steelers will trade for Jonnu Smith. The Steelers already have a ton of tight ends and need a wide receiver. Ray thinks Aaron Rodgers will definitely sign with the Steelers for training camp. The Steelers want to see what Payton Wilson can do in year two. Ray doesn't think Darius Slay was taking a shot at Aaron Rodgers not being at Steelers OTAs.

Today on the Logan Blackman Show we go discuss what we did over Memorial Day, mostly focusing on a situation with a propane tank while at Menards. We then shift our attention to football to once again go over the 2028 Olympic flag football team, only this time we discuss whether or not the current Team USA players should feel offended about NFL players potentially taking their roster spots, while comparing it to Earl Morrall's situation with the '72 Dolphins. We then take some time to discuss which is more fun to watch between college football and the NFL while also taking a look at the supposed top 10 most electrifying players in NFL history. Finally, we go over why Aaron Rodgers wasn't present at Steelers OTAs as well as discuss why we need to stop asking SEC coaches about the College Football Playoff. Enjoy!
After Thursday's OTAs practice from the Steelers' South Side facility, Steelers insiders Ray Fittipaldo and Brian Batko share their key takeaways, including what seems to be an increased role for Payton Wilson at linebacker. Has he ascended to a starter next to Patrick Queen? Or is he just a placeholder until Cole Holcomb is healthy? And on offense, what kind of role can we expect from new running back Kenneth Gainwell?

The Pittsburgh Steelers started Phase III of their Organized Team Activities (OTAs) Tuesday, and while some might overlook these workouts because their in shorts, there is still a lot of value in these workouts. These workouts might not be an indicator of teams which will win more games in 2025, but they certainly aren't meaningless.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo recap Day 2 of OTAs at the team's South Side facility. What have tackles Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu been saying about their approach to 2025? Can Fautanu bounce back from the injury that ruined his rookie season? And can Jones finally live up to his first-round NFL draft hype after two years of inconsistency? Our duo tackles those questions, then analyzes how the cornerback group is shaping up, with Darius Slay joining Joey Porter Jr., Cory Trice Jr., Beanie Bishop and others. And explains why Wednesday's practice was a slippery one, with Mike Tomlin keeping practice outside despite a heavy dose of rain in Pittsburgh.
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 national criticism of the team over Aaron Rodgers' absence from OTAs. Do names like Terry Bradshaw and Joy Taylor have a point in calling out Rodgers, GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin for the situation? Or are they overstating the impact of Rodgers' absence, with veterans including Mason Rudolph and others shrugging off outside concerns? Then later, the guys give a first look at other areas of concern. How are tackles Troy Fautanu and Broderick Jones looking as they face pressure amid the departure of Dan Moore Jr.? How are new receivers DK Metcalf and Robert Woods assimilating? And are internal options Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson prepared to step up at the position following the George Pickens trade to the Dallas Cowboys?
Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Are you still able to enjoy the good moments in this Pirates season? We want Davis to play almost everyday, even if that means Joey Bart and Andrew McCutchen have to play less. Roman Wilson spoke at Steelers OTAs on how he's motivated to make a statement and to keep working. Pat Freiermuth isn't concerned about the WR room and thinks they have some good players on the team.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Brian Batko and Ray Fittipaldo recap the first day OTAs at the team's South Side facility. What were players saying about Aaron Rodgers as he remains unsigned at the beginning of the offseason program? How much faith do they have in Mason Rudolph as he takes first-team reps for now? How are the receivers looking? From new faces like DK Metcalf and Robert Woods to returning options like Roman Wilson and Calvin Austin III? And how closely should we be watching tackles Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu in the early going? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
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.
Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: The people's choice for quarterback is now Will Howard instead of Mason Rudolph! Brian is keeping an eye on the offense line these OTAs. Roman Wilson needs to be the receiver the Steelers drafted him to be. Brian needs to see more from all the Steelers receivers to know if they're better than... Van Jefferson. Intern Dom came at Bob by saying Bob is a moron for thinking Jack Nicklaus is better than Tiger Woods.
Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: . The USA won the World Championships for the first time in 90 years. What's the bigger story? Team USA winning or Team Canada losing in the semis? Kyle Dubas put Team Canada together. The Penguins need to take some input from Sidney Crosby and recognize what comes next for Crosby. DK Metcalf is not at Steelers OTAs. Aaron Rodgers is not there either. Does Aaron Rodgers really want to prioritize football?
DK Metcalf is not at Steelers OTAs. Aaron Rodgers is not there either. Does Aaron Rodgers really want to prioritize football? Bryan Reynolds and Ke'Bryan Hayes have been bad offensively. Reynolds only has 13 extra base hits. Oneil Cruz is becoming a star for the Pirates.
Brian would not confirm or deny if Aaron Rodgers is at the Steelers facility. The people's choice for quarterback is now Will Howard instead of Mason Rudolph! Brian is keeping an eye on the offense line these OTAs. Roman Wilson needs to be the receiver the Steelers drafted him to be.

The Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Jason Mackey react to a busy week of Pittsburgh sports news. Should OTAs be a red line for Steelers GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin in their pursuit of QB Aaron Rodgers? How important is the offseason program to his success, given that it didn't seem to matter much for Russell Wilson and Justin Fields? And how much worse off would the Steelers be with Mason Rudolph as their starter instead? Is the national media bashing he's received fair? Our duo tackles those questions; the difference between George Pickens and DK Metcalf as WR1; and the team's biggest remaining weakness after adding Derrick Harmon and Kaleb Johnson in the NFL draft. Later, the guys discuss the Penguins coaching search. Why does Mitch Love continue to make a lot of sense as a frontrunner? How much say should Sidney Crosby have in the hiring process? And how cool is it to watch Crosby and Marc-Andre Fleury play together one last time at the IIHF world championships? Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, our duo ponders Ben Cherington's options as the season continues to slip away. Is there a trade he can make to salvage his job? Is that a move he should be allowed to make, given his track record? Would firing him have a bigger practical or psychological impact? And what should we make of the Paul Skenes trade chatter, initiated this past week by ESPN's Jeff Passan? Adam and Jason give their thoughts, then analyze the catching situation with Henry Davis and Joey Bart. And Alexander Canario's recent hot streak.
