September 8, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 21 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about our overarching thoughts on the Pittsburgh Steelers beating the New York Jets on Sunday. We talk about how the Steelers essentially escaped from New York with their first win of 2025. As part of our Monday Housekeeping segment, which is brought to you by Touring Plans, Alex and I go over the Steelers' Sunday inactive list, the practice squad elevation that was made on Saturday, and the players that sustained injuries during the Sunday road game against the Jets. As usual, Alex and I then move forward into recapping the Steelers Week 1 roads win against the Jets. We start on the offensive side of the football with our recap and talk about several individual player performances and that includes the great game that QB Aaron Rodgers played. We discuss offensive line play being poor overall against the Jets and the team's inability to run the football against the Jets defense. As part of our recap of the Steelers' offense from Sunday, Alex and I mix in several key stats and snap counts concerning that unit. We talk about the heavy usage of RB Kenneth Gainwell on offense against the Jets and the large amount of YAC that there was in the passing game.The Steelers defense did not play well on Sunday against the Jets outside of some late key plays made by CB Jalen Ramsey. We discuss the Steelers struggles to stop the Jets running game on Sunday, how New York QB Justin Fields played in the passing game, and a few key individual performances from defensive players, both good and bad. We go over explosive plays allowed, some snap counts, first down stats and much more. Steelers K Chris Boswell helped the special teams unit have a good showing on Sunday, so we discuss the two big field goals he made against the Jets. We also discuss the Steelers kickoff coverage not being fanatic and how WR Ben Skowronek showed up on special teams, along with Gainwell. After fully recapping the Steelers Sunday road win against the Jets, Alex and I discuss the contract adjustment that DT Cameron Heyward received on Saturday. We discuss what he got, how he can earn it all, and if it was worth the labor pains as it relates to optics. This 99-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted, and we close things by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the 2025 NFL regular-season opener Thursday night between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys, which included the debut of former Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens in a new uniform. With Steelers OLB Nick Herbig dealing with a hamstring injury this week, Alex and I have a lot to say on that topic and if the team might elevate OLB DeMarvin Leal or new ILB Jon Rhattigan on Saturday. We also discuss the possibility of ILB Malik Harrison playing on the edge some on Sunday should Herbig not play in the regular season opener against the New York Jets. We talk about how important the Friday injury report will be for Herbig as we then go through the rest of the Week 1 injury report heading into Friday's practice. On Thursday, we heard from two of the Steelers' coordinators, Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin, so Alex and I recap the few main talking points top come out of those two media sessions. Alex and I welcome Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic back to the show, and he helps us get started with a preview of the Steelers' road game against the Jets. Rosenblatt has covered the Jets for several seasons, and nobody knows that team better than him. We get his thoughts on new Jets QB Justin Fields and Steelers new QB Aaron Rodgers and many more things related to Sunday's game at MetLife Stadium. At the end of our talk with Rosenblatt, he gives us his score prediction for the Sunday game between the Steelers and the Jets.

September 3, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 19 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the news concerning New York Jets G Alijah Vera-Tucker, who reportedly has suffered a potentially significant injury and could miss considerable time because of it. This is big news with Pittsburgh Steelers scheduled to open their 2025 regular season on Sunday against the Jets. We discuss who will likely replace Vera-Tucker at right guard on Sunday and how the Jets are also set to start a rookie at right tackle in Week 1 as well. The Steelers released veteran WR Robert Woods from the team's practice squad on Monday so we discuss that transaction in addition to the player the team will reportedly sign to take his place on that 17-man unit. Alex and I also discuss veteran free agent WR Gabe Davis deciding to sign back with the Buffalo Bills on Monday. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin held his first weekly press conference of the 2025 season on Tuesday and as usual, Alex and I go over the key things that he had to say during that session with the local media. We talk about what Tomlin had to say about DL Cameron Heyward playing on Sunday versus what the veteran player said on his podcast about that subject recently. Tomlin talked about the running back rotation, defensive line division of labor and injured players on Tuesday so we make sure to address all of those topics during this show. We also talk about what Tomlin said about Jets QB Justin Fields on Tuesday. Cameron Heyward also defended his brother Connor Heyward as part of his recent podcast episode, so Alex and I make sure to address him doing that. We also talk about how there's still time for the Steelers to address Cameron Heyward's contract as well as the contract of K Chris Boswell before the team leaves on Saturday to play the Jets. Alex and I talk about the motivation that Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers has when it comes to him playing the Jets on Sunday.

September 1, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 18 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to going over some housekeeping regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers when it comes to transactions and players that currently remain on the Reserve/Injured list with the start of the 2025 regular season getting closer. Steelers rookie QB Will Howard was on The Pat McAfee Show a few days ago so we go over a few things he had to say during that interview. We also discuss the Steelers having presence at a few key college football games over the weekend that highlighted several top quarterback prospects. With the Steelers getting ready to open their 2025 regular season on Sunday against the New York Jets, Alex and I start to give some of our early thoughts on that Week 1 matchup. We discuss both sides of the football for both teams and even debate whether the Jets are the perfect regular season opener for the Steelers knowing all that we know right now. We go over our biggest concerns related to the Steelers' 2025 defense as the team gets ready for Week 1. The Steelers reportedly signed RB Jaylen Warren to a two-year contract extension on Monday, so Alex and I interrupt this episode to go over that breaking news. Some of the early contract extension numbers also come in during this show and results in additional discussion on that topic. This 92-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap and we make sure to answer a few email questions we received from listeners of the show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

August 29, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 17 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 to discussing the Dallas Cowboys trading LB Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers earlier in the day. We go over several things related to the Pittsburgh Steelers as a result of Parsons being traded to the Packers and how the Cowboys managed the situation and negotiations with the player. Alex and I discuss the differences between Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Steelers president Art Rooney II when it comes to how often each meets with the media. Alex and I also discuss how Parsons' agent is the same one that Cowboys WR George Pickens has. After discussing Parsons being traded, Alex and I discuss WR Marquez Valdes-Scantlingchoosing to sign with the San Francisco 49ers as a member of their practice squad following Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers reportedly recruiting him to sign with Pittsburgh. We discuss the possibility of Valdes-Scantling staying with the 49ers all season and whether there is still a chance he could wind up with the Steelers at some point in 2025. The Steelers have now established their initial practice squad for 2025, so Alex and I discuss the 17 players that have now been signed to that unit. We go over each player and how unusual it is for all 17 to come from the final 91-man roster. We also discuss the additional transactions the Steelers made on Thursday that included two players, S Chuck Clark and G Max Scharping, being signed to the 53-man roster, and two other players, QB Will Howard and CB Donte Kent, being placed on the Reserve/Injured list. Did the Steelers stunt the initial growth of Howard by placing him on the Reserve/Injured list to start the 2025 season? Will Howard stay on that list all season? Alex and I attempt to answer those two questions during this episode. Alex and I discuss the Steelers offensive line and wide receiver depth as the team gets ready for their Week 1 road game against the New York Jets. We also discuss a few possible roster elevations that might take place a week from Saturday. This 67-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap and we make sure to answer a few email questions we received from listeners of the show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

August 27, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 16 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the initial 53-man roster that the Pittsburgh Steelers established on Tuesday. We go over each position group as we review the initial 53-man roster for 2025 and we start at the quarterback position. From there, we roll through the rest of the position groups when it comes to players kept and not kept. The Steelers are sure to massage their 53-man roster in the coming days so Alex and I discuss what additional moves might be made. We discuss the likelihood of CB James Pierre and S Chuck Clark both being re-signed and if QB Will Howard and CB Donte Kent will both be moved to the Reserve/Injured list in the coming days. We talk about some of the minutiae related to several decisions the Steelers made on Tuesday when it comes to the team setting their initial 53-man roster. The Steelers waived CB Beanie Bishop Jr. on Tuesday, and I present a tin foil hat theory related to that move and decision. Will Bishop ultimately land on the team's initial practice squad? What about ILB Mark Robinson, who like Bishop, was waived on Tuesday.As there any chance whatsoever that the Steelers wind up trading QB Skylar Thompson in the next week? Alex and I address that question and try to identify a few teams that might be looking for a backup quarterback still. The Steelers reportedly seem to have some level of interest in free agent WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling after he was cut by the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday. Alex and I discuss his potential fit with the Steelers and what the tape and stats say about him at this stage of his NFL career. Will the Steelers potentially trade for disgruntled Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers? Alex and I address that question briefly during this show. What will the initial practice squad look like for Steelers? Late in this show, Alex and I go over several players that we both feel are near locks to land on the 17-man unit. This 91-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

August 25, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 15 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the list of 11 players that the Pittsburgh Steelers parted ways with after their Thursday night 2025 preseason finale. We also talk a little about the updated statuses of several injured players since the final preseason game ended and that includes the positive news concerning rookie DL Derrick Harmon. With the early housekeeping out of the way, Alex and I dive right into our final 53-man roster predictions for the Steelers with the team set to establish that initial unit by Tuesday afternoon. Surprisingly, Alex and I have quite a few differences this year when it comes to our final 53-man roster predictions for the Steelers and perhaps the most since we both have been submitting them on the site. We discuss whether there's a chance the Steelers might trade away any players by Tuesday afternoon and if QB Skylar Thompson might wind up being one of those players. We also discuss the possibility of the Steelers using a designated-to-return tag on rookie QB Will Howard. Might the Steelers decide to keep four quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster to get Howard to the Reserve/Injured list without the use of a designated-to-return tag? We discuss that question some. The Steelers could look to add some outside help to their roster in the next several days and especially at the tackle and wide receiver positions. Alex goes over the brief list of potential outside tackle additions that he has identified later in this show. Will the Steelers have any boomerang players that go off and then back on their roster in the next several days? We address that question one last time before the initial 53-man roster is set for the 2025 season. This 79-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap, and we make sure to answer a few questions from listeners at the end of this show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

August 22, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 14 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers on the heels of their Thursday night preseason game against the Carolina Panthers. The big topic coming out of the 2025 preseason finale is the knee injury sustained by rookie DL Derrick Harmon. Alex and I discuss how it sounds like the Steelers dodged a huge bullet with the Harmon injury based on the way he looked when he was carted off the field in the first half. We talk about the outlook for Harmon the next few weeks and also go over the other injured players on the Steelers as the team now gets ready for the start of the 2025 regular season in 16 days from today. Steelers CB Beanie Bishop Jr. did not play Thursday night against the Panthers, so we delve into the possible reasons for that surprise happening. We also go over the several other players that did not participate in the team's preseason finale. While the Steelers Thursday night game was sloppy and not overly entertaining, Alex and I still go over what transpired in all three phases. We start on the offensive side of the football and go through all of the position groups and discuss the performances of several different players. We then do the same for the defensive side of the football as well as special teams. Will the Steelers keep QB Skylar Thompson on their 53-man roster after his strong preseason showing? Will they trade him? Is sending rookie QB Will Howard to the Reserve/Injured list as a designated-to-return player the right move for the team to make? We discuss those several questions and go over a few other decisions the team has when it comes to potential trade candidates and use of the Reserve/Injured list. Is second-year DL Logan Lee a lock to make the 53-man roster this year like several believe? Alex and I discuss his roster hopes in this show and also talk about the preseason showing that rookie OLB Jack Sawyer had and even it was disappointing overall. Who won the punter battle this summer? Alex and I aren't really sure which way that will go but we do have some thoughts on the matter. The Steelers have a few interesting roster decisions to make now that their preseason finale against the Panthers has taken place. We go over the players who seem to be on the roster bubble right now with the start of the regular season now less than three weeks away. This 89-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap, and we make sure to answer a few questions from listeners at the end of this show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

August 20, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 13 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the recent transactions made by the Pittsburgh Steelers that included the team parting ways with rookie undrafted free agent WR Roc Taylor. We go over why Taylor might have been jettisoned a few days ago. The Steelers had free agent WR Gabe Davis in for a second visit on Tuesday, so Alex and I discuss him reportedly leaving Pittsburgh unsigned once again. We address how Davis would fit with the Steelers if he is ultimately signed and what a contract for him would look like. Ahead of the team's Thursday night preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers, Alex and I go over the health of the Steelers 91-man roster. We discuss a few players we are hoping to learn more about when it comes to their injuries by the time the weekend is over. Steelers DT Cameron Heyward was back in team drills on Tuesday, so Alex and I discuss that big news as the team prepares for their final preseason game. We also talk about how Heyward, OLB T.J. Watt, QB Aaron Rodgers, and WR DK Metcalf are all scheduled to sit out Thursday night against the Panthers. Will the Steelers play CB Jalen Ramsey, CB Darius Slay, CB Joey Porter Jr., and S DeShon Elliott against the Panthers? Steelers HC Mike Tomlin sure made it sound like they all would during his Tuesday press conference. Alex and I discuss whether Tomlin will change his mind when it comes to those four players by the time kickoff rolls around. Alex and I also recap the few other minor things that Tomlin said on Tuesday. With the final preseason game now on tap, Alex and I look at a few players worth watching Thursday night when it comes to potential spots on the 53-man roster not deemed 100 percent secure. As part of this discussion, Alex and I go down a rabbit hole when it comes to the punter battle the Steelers need to conclude soon. Later in this show, Alex and I roll through our updated 53-man roster predictions with two preseason games now in the books. We discuss how there only seems to be a few questions regarding the initial roster right now and how players needing to go to Reserve/Injured as designated-to-return could shape a few final decisions. We also discuss how WR Scotty Miller might be used as a final roster manipulation piece should the need arise and why. This 90-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap, and we make sure to answer a few questions from listeners at the end of this show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

August 18, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 12 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers bringing in four long snappers for tryouts on Sunday on the heels of LS Christian Kuntz getting injured on Saturday night early in the team's second preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccerers. Later in this show, the news breaks that Kuntz might have a broken sternum so we discuss that news and what it might mean for him come the start of the 2025 regular season. We also go over a few things from DL Logan Lee and the long snapping that he did Saturday night after Kuntz left the game injured. Adam Schefter of ESPN passed along the news of the Steelers signing free agent CB Kam Alexander during this show, so Alex and I make sure to pass along that tidbit on this Monday as well. With the all-22 tape from the Saturday preseason game against the Buccaneers now fully digested, Alex and I run through what all we learned from that. We start on the offensive side of the football and go through all of the position groups to discuss the good, bad, and sometimes ugly play of several different players. Can OL Andrus Peat make the roster following a nice showing at left guard Saturday night? Alex and I then do the same sort of tape review when it comes to the defensive side of the football.

We also go over the few injuries the Steelers did sustain in their 17-14 loss, which HC Mike Tomlin highlighted during his postgame press conference.

In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the overall health of the Pittsburgh Steelers now that their 2025 training camp practices at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA are over with. We discuss Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers getting dinged during Tuesdays practice and more. Steelers DT Cameron Heyward finally addressed the media to talk about his contract situation a few days ago so Alex and I completely parse all that he had to say on that topic. We go over what it sounds like Cameron Heyward is waiting in terms of his contract being adjusted, what he might and might not get as an end result and the several types of pushbacks he has received concerning the topic. Would Cameron Heyward seriously consider missing games in 2025 due to his contract situation? We discuss that question and also go over several other questions related to his contract wants and how that has been handled by his side this offseason. Keeping with the Heyward theme, Alex and I discuss Steelers TE Connor Heyward in this show. We talk about how safe his spot on the 53-man roster seems to be right now and if the Steelers should look outside the organization for a possibly upgrade to be their fourth tight end. Speaking of the tight end position, Alex and I discuss an old breakdown that former New England Patriots HC Bill Belichick had when it comes to what he looked for in his tight ends and the roles for each on the depth chart. That makes for a fun conversation when applying to the Steelers current group of tight ends. We also go over Belichick's old thoughts on offense and other offensive position groups.

We discuss the play of quarterbacks Mason Rudolph and Skyler Thompson on Saturday night and how both played well above the line. We discuss those two quarterbacks pushing the football down the field quite frequently in Jacksonville and also discuss the few touchdown passes from the game. Could Thompson potentially make the Steelers 53-man roster as the third string quarterback over rookie Will Howard? Might the Steelers consider placing Howard on the Reserve/Injured list to accommodate Thompson? How about the Steelers potentially trading Thompson before the start of the 2025 regular season? We discuss all of those questions early in this show. Moving forward in this preseason game recap, Alex and I go through all of the position groups on both sides of the football. We talk snap totals and the play of several individual players on both offense and defense against the Jaguars. We make sure to hit on the offensive line combinations used Saturday night and how the pass blocking was much better than the run blocking in Jacksonville. Alex and I make sure to note the play of all of the rookie draft picks that played Saturday night such as DT Derrick Harmon, RB Kaleb Johnson, OLB Jack Sawyer, DT Yahya Black, and ILB Carson Bruener. We make sure to hit on special teams play from Saturday night and that includes the Jaguars kicker nailing a 70-yard field goal before the end of the first half.

We go over the corresponding moves to those new signings and also discuss how a few more transactions might be on the way ahead of Saturday night. On Thursday, Steelers DT Cameron Heyward and K Chris Boswell both dominated the team's headlines due to their contract situations ahead of the 2025 regular season getting underway. Alex and I spend a lot of time in this show discussing why this contract news with both Heyward and Boswell has surfaced at this point of the offseason and what the options are for potentially appeasing both players. We talk about what could and likely will happen with both Heyward and Boswell prior to the regular season starting and how both players could still potentially be back in the same place a year from now when it comes to each's 2026 earnings. We make sure to discuss the pushbacks that a lot of fans seem to have when it comes to both players and specifically when it comes to Heyward. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin met with the media on Thursday to discuss the upcoming preseason game on Saturday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Alex and I go over the extensive list of players that Tomlin said won't play Saturday night and why. We also go over a few things that Tomlin had to say on Thursday about a few younger Steelers players such RB Kaleb Johnson, WR Roman Wilson, and ILB Payton Wilson. Alex and I then preview the Saturday night road preseason game against the Jaguars when it comes to all three phases. We discuss the likely staring units, playing time and even attempt to take a stab at the quarterback rotation used and playing time. We make sure to go over some of the key things we'll both be looking for against the Jaguars. Later in this show, Alex and I discuss what Steelers president Art Rooney II recently said about the team's travel plans for the Week 4 road game in Dublin, Ireland against the Minnesota Vikings. This 103-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap, and we make sure to answer a few listener questions at the very end. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

August 4, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 5 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the health of the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of a day off at training camp. We discuss Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith and his groin injury history and CB Cory Trice Jr. being sidelined again by yet another injury. Alex and I look at the Steelers' biggest depth needs at this point of the summer and that includes a deeper dive into the tackle position. We also discuss the potential need for another wide receiver and if the team will even consider adding another veteran at some point prior to the 2025 regular season getting underway. Steelers TE Darnell Washington was asked recently if he would consider moving to tackle at some point down the road so Alex and I discuss what he had to say about that, and probability of such a position move ever happening. The Steelers used ILB Mark Robinson at fullback during Sunday's training camp practice, so Alex and I discuss that little tidbit. How many times will we see the Steelers use four tight ends in 2025? Alex and I address that question during this show. We also discuss several different players on the Steelers roster with training camp now over halfway completed. Should there be a lot of concern about the Steelers offense the way the unit has looked so far during training camp? We address that question later in this show and also how much, if any, QB Aaron Rodgers will play in the team's first preseason game this coming Saturday night. We wind this show down by discussing several players we look forward to watching in the first preseason game.

August 1, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 4 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers getting ready for their annual training camp night practice under the high school lights. We make a point to recap the health of the Steelers ahead of their Friday Night Lights practice and how a roster move or two are likely to happen at some point today because of recent injuries the team has sustained to their defensive line. Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin was in the news on Thursday night as he has reportedly requested to be traded. Alex and I look at the likelihood, plausibility, and probability related to Steelers trading for McLaurin. While neither of us think the Steelers will trade for McLaurin, we both think the Steelers should at least inquire about him. We discuss how cash spending would likely be the biggest obstacle when it comes to the Steelers possibly trading for McLaurin. Alex and I then move on to discuss several recent comments made by Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers since our last episode. We go over what Rodgers said about how Steelers HC Mike Tomlin courted him this offseason and what he thinks about C Zach Frazier, who enters his second NFL season. We go over a few interesting stats related to Rodgers and those compare to other NFL quarterbacks such as Russell Wilson and Ben Roethlisberger throughout their careers. Alex goes over his impressions of Steelers training camp as it nears the halfway point. I reveal the one word on my mind when it comes to the 2025 Steelers at this point of the offseason. I have Alex quickly recap his evaluations of five overlooked players at this point of training camp. This 94-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap, and we make sure to answer a few listener questions at the very end. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Wednesday morning show, which was recorded Tuesday night, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers having their Tuesday training camp practice ruined by inclement weather just as it was about to get underway. Alex and I go over the several transactions that the Steelers made on Tuesday with the primary one being the contract termination of RB/KR Cordarrelle Patterson. We also discuss the team waiving OLB Jeremiah Moon and WR Montana Lemonious-Craig being waived as injured. We briefly discuss the two new players that the Steelers signed on Tuesday as well.

We finally have the contract details for new Steelers S Chuck Clark to pass along so we go over the specifics related to his one-year deal that he recently signed with the team.

In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the health of the Pittsburgh Steelers with four training camp practices now in the books for 2025. Alex and I discuss Steelers RB Cordarrelle Patterson still being on the roster through four training camp practices. (UPDATE: Patterson announced he was released by the Steelers right after the show wrapped up.) We discuss the Steelers adding veteran S Chuck Clark more in depth during this show and if that means the team will wind up keeping four safeties on their 53-man roster to start the 2025 regular season. The Steelers announced their 2025 Hall of Honor Class over the weekend, so Alex and I discuss this year's three new members, Joey Porter, Ben Roethlisberger, and Maurkice Pouncey.

We talk about how he will miss the start of training camp and who is likely to fill in for him at left guard until he is healthy. We talk a little bit about how the Steelers are really a healthy team overall heading into training camp this year. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin talked to the media Wednesday afternoon, so we go over a few key things that he had to say at the start of camp. We focus a lot on what Tomlin had to see about the expected cornerback usage in 2025 when it comes to the top three in that position group, Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Ramsey, and Darius Slay. Steelers GM Omar Khan also had a press conference on Wednesday, so Alex and I parse the main talking points to come out of his media session.

In this Monday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the new throwback uniforms that the Pittsburgh Steelers have now revealed for their 2025 season. We go over the uniforms and helmet that pay homage to the 1933 Steelers. We discuss what we like and dislike about the new throwbacks and talk about the changes that were made from the last time they wore them in the 90s. After discussing the new throwbacks thoroughly, Alex and I then dive into the final set of players that we have yet to cover in my annual 90 in 30 series that wrapped up on Sunday.

July 18, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 162 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers getting OLB T.J. Watt agreed to a three-year, $123 million contract extension on Thursday. As you would expect, Alex and I cover the Watt contract extension from several different angles. The full contract details hit the internet early in this show, so we make sure to go over those thoroughly. We discuss Watt's cap charges, cash flow, guaranteed money, and we also go over how he was the big winner in nearly aspect of his negotiations with the Steelers. Alex and I have a long discussion about whether extending Watt and making him the new highest paid non-QB in the NFL was the right decision. Both of us think it was, and we explain why we both feel that why. We talk about how and why some analysts, media members, and fans of the team are likely upset that the Steelers extended Watt for so much money. We also discuss the overall franchise philosophy the Steelers have had for some time and how the Watt extension played into that. How big of risk do the Steelers now have with Watt moving forward? Alex and I attempt to address that question and topic during this show as well. Could and should have the Steelers gotten Watt extended earlier in the offseason to save a little money? Should they have traded Watt prior to the 2025 NFL Draft? We attempt to address those kinds of questions that several people seem to have concerning Watt during this show as well. After fully discussing Watt's extension multiple ways, Alex and I then dive into more players that we have yet to cover in my annual 90 in 30 series.

In this Wednesday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to going over the latest contract information regarding two new members of the Pittsburgh Steelers, CB Jalen Ramsey and TE Jonnu Smith, based on the latest NFLPA salary cap update. We go over what the new salary cap hits for Ramsey and Smith are perceived to be set at currently for 2025 and how the uncertainty of the former's option bonus could still play into his amount before Week 1. Based on the latest NFLPA update, the Steelers are now $25,425,794 under the cap. We go over what that means and also talk a little bit about where the Steelers now seem to be at from a cash spending perspective for the 2025 season. Could the Steelers make a trade for Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin or San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings really work from a cash and cap perspective if they really wanted to acquire either player? Alex and I address that popular question that several fans seem to have right now. We also discuss the latest reports cornering both McLaurin and Jennings regarding whether either might ultimately be traded by their current team. Starring in the middle of this show, we pick up where we left off on Monday when it comes to reviewing players in my annual 90 In 30 series.

Specifically, Alex and I look at the probability and possibility of Watt holding out completely at the start of training camp and thus not showing up at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe when the rest of the team does. San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings is back in the news on Monday morning as he reportedly wants a new contract or to be traded. We look at if Jennings could potentially land with the Steelers via a trade and what kind of new contract he's likely looking for this summer. As a Monday morning, most of the NFL's 2025 second round selections remain unsigned. We discuss why that's the case this year and who is most likely to blame for that. We discuss the Steelers not having to worry about that problem this year and we look back at the contract that C Zach Frazier signed last year as a second round selection. On the heels of Ross McCorkle doing a 2025 passing and receiving stats exercise during the Friday show, Alex and I go over the changes he submitted over the weekend.

July 11, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 159 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Ross McCorkle sits in for Alex Kozora, who is taking some well-deserved time off ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers reporting to Latrobe for the start of their 2025 training camp. Ross and I start this show off by discussing where Steelers DT Cameron Heyward is ranked in the Top 100 Players for 2025. We discuss Heyward's ability to bat down passes and how this year's ranking on the list feels a bit low. We also discuss where Steelers OLB T.J. Watt is likely to land in this year's Top 100 list. We also discuss the probability associated with Watt being traded this summer and how most of the fanbase probably feels about him and his contract situation this offseason. Former Steelers RB Najee Harris, who is now a member of the Los Angeles Chargers, had an unfortunate fireworks accident during the Fourth of July weekend so we make sure to go over that bit of news that surfaced on Thursday. We also discuss the fact that not too much is known concerning the contracts of new CB Jalen Ramsey and TE Jonnu Smith as of Friday morning. Even though Alex is away on this Friday, his latest post about three overlooked players currently on the Steelers roster deserves some attention and review by us. Ross and I go over the three players that Alex listed in that post and then we attempt to build it out by two more players. In the middle of this show, I sort of ambush Ross a little bit with a passing stat prediction exercise for the Steelers' 2025 season. I start with getting Ross' 2025 stat predictions for the top five wide receivers. From there, I get Ross to throw out his 2025 passing stat prediction for Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers. We then subtract the wide receiver stat predictions from his Rodgers' prediction and go over what would presumably be left over for the Steelers tight ends and running backs in 2025. Overall, this exercise produces a little bit of eye-opening and should result in some level of pushback from the listeners. It's a great exercise to conduct at this point of the offseason and I will let Ross revise his numbers for Alex and I to go over during Monday's show. Based on the Friday stat exercise, it certainly seems less than likely that the Steelers will add another notable wide receiver to their roster this offseason. Near the end of this Friday show, Ross and I discuss the plausibility and probability related to the Steelers possible signing veteran free agent safety Justin Simmons this offseason. That discussion is a result of a few things that Simmons said about his future during a recent interview from this past week. This 105-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap. We also end this episode by answering one outstanding email questions we have received this past week from listeners of the show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

July 9, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 159 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about a few more details that have surfaced this week concerning the contract of new Pittsburgh Steelers CB Jalen Ramsey. We also go over the fact that Ramsey's new 2025 cap charge as a member of the Steelers is still yet to be known and how that should change by Friday night. Former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger had a few interesting things to say about the backup quarterback battle in Pittsburgh this summer so we briefly touch on that topic and how it's very unlikely that rookie QB Will Howard will bypass veteran QB Mason Rudolph on the team's depth chart by Week 1 of the regular season. Alex and I spend a little time in this show discussing the hype surrounding Howard right now and especially when it comes to the majority of the Steelers' fanbase. Are fans needing to pump the breaks some when it comes to Smith's rookie season? Also in this show, Alex and I pick up where we left off when it comes to discussing players in my annual 90 in 30 series. Today, we discuss nine more players ahead of training camp getting underway and they are P Cameron Johnston, OT Broderick Jones, OG Steven Jones, CB Donte Kent, S Miles Killebrew, LS Christian Kuntz, DE/OLB DeMarvin Leal, DL Logan Lee, and WR Montana Lemonious-Craig. We spend a little extra time during the above segment discussing Broderick Jones and what a huge 2025 season it is for him. This 102-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap.

July 7, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 158 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking more about the Pittsburgh Steelers signing GM Omar Khan to a contract extension last week. This comes on the heels of Alex and Josh Carney discussing that news on the Friday show. This time I give my thoughts on the decision to extend Khan, and we go over how he should be graded so far in his short tenure and what should be expected out of him these next two seasons. After having a lengthy talk about Khan's career to date and his extension news, Alex and I go over his recent grading of all the big decisions and moves the Steelers have made so far this offseason. We grade the team trading for WR DK Metcalf, the trading away of WR George Pickens, the selection of DT Derrick Harmon in the first round, the addition and process of signing QB Aaron Rodgers, and the big trade that was recently made between the Steelers and the Miami Dolphins. While Alex and I are close when it comes to our grading of those several offseason moves, we do differ slightly on a few of them and especially when it comes to the Steelers trading away Pickens. Later in this show, Alex and I pick up where we left off when it comes to discussing players in my annual 90 in 30 series. Today, we discuss nine more players ahead of this year's training camp getting underway and they are OLB Alex Highsmith, ILB Cole Holcomb, QB Will Howard, RB Evan Hull, RB Max Hurleman, CB D'Shawn Jamison, WR Brandon Johnson, RB Kaleb Johnson, and S Quindell Johnson. As part of Alex and I discussing Howard on Wednesday, we offer up some predictions and hopes when it comes to the number of preseason snaps he will ultimately play this summer. This 125-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap.

July 4, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 156 of the Terrible Podcast is now in the can. 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. We also discuss expectations for the Browns this season and the future of head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry. Be sure to follow Scott here, @ScottPetrak. And thank him for joining us today.

July 2, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 155 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking a lot more about the trades the Pittsburgh Steelers made on Monday. This includes more discussion about the Steelers acquiring CB Jalen Ramsey and TE Jonnu Smith from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for S Minkah Fitzpatrick. Alex and I discuss the average number of interceptions Ramsey has had per season for his NFL career date, his fit in the Steelers offense, and his potential heavy volume of playing time. We discuss the Steelers' possible usage of their top three cornerbacks throughout the 2025 season and if the team might add another veteran free safety at some point during this offseason. We also discuss once again what led to Fitzpatrick being a piece of the Monday trade with the Dolphins. We also discuss whether Fitzpatrick could have a 2025 season with the Dolphins that might make the Steelers regret trading him. Not to be forgotten, Alex and I discuss a little bit more what Smith brings to Pittsburgh's offense in 2025 and how he's not a No. 3 tight end on this year's roster. Will the Steelers sign veteran free agent WR Tyler Boyd this offseason? Should they? We discuss those two questions in addition to whether we think veteran free agent WR Gabe Davis will ultimately land with Pittsburgh before Week 1 of the 2025 regular season. In the second half of this show, Alex and I are joined by Jonas Shaffer, who covers the Baltimore Ravens for The Baltimore Banner on thebaltimorebanner.com. Jonas spends over a half an hour with us previewing the 2025 Ravens and several other aspects related to the team and the offseason they have had to date.

We go over all of the known details related to the big trade between the Steelers and the Dolphins and we update several of those as the show guys on. We also make sure to go over some of the early known contract details related to both Ramsey and Smith. Alex and I give our overall thoughts on the Steelers trades and how the new players fit in Pittsburgh. We also discuss the departure of Fitzpatrick and wonder how the Steelers might go about filling his free safety position moving forward. We discuss the several surprising moves the Steelers have made so far this offseason and how it's been a spring and summer for the ages when it comes to the organization. Alex and I make sure to discuss what the Monday trades mean when it comes to Steelers OLB T.J. Watt as he continues to wait for a new contract. We discuss if a Watt extension is still in his future and why. In the second half of this show, Alex and I are joined by Jay Morrison, who covers the Cincinnati Bengals for Sports Illustrated on BengalsTalk.com.

In this Wednesday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Tuesday appearance that new Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers had on The Pat McAfee Show. The Rodgers interview went over 40 minutes so as you can imagine, he said a lot of things worth discussing. We talk about 2025 likely to be his last NFL season, his thoughts on the team's leadership and his role within that, his mentoring of the other quarterbacks on the roster, and much more. Alex and I discuss a few of the major media thoughts to come out of the Rodgers' Tuesday interview. We also discuss Rodgers' thoughts on his privacy as well.

In this Monday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the weekend passing of FedEx founder Fred Smith, the father of Pittsburgh Steelers OC Arthur Smith.

June 20, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 150 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers cutting ties with veteran RB Jonathan Ward on Thursday. We go over the decision to release Ward, where that leaves the Steelers running back room, and what it means for a few others in that position group as far as potential goes the rest of the offseason. There's nothing new to report on the contract details for S DeShon Elliott, who was signed to a two-year extension earlier this week. We get that tidbit out of the way early in this show. The Baltimore Ravens signed veteran CB Jaire Alexander to a one-year contract this week, so Alex and I discuss that transaction. We talk about the contract details related to Alexander and why he likely decided to sign with Baltimore. We discuss whether the Steelers likely had any interest in signing Alexander and what a contract likely would have needed to look like for that to even happen. With there being quite a bit of buzz this week concerning the Steelers possible trading for veteran Miami Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey, Alex and I decide to address that topic quite extensively during this show. We go over Ramsey's contract, the cost to acquire him via a trade and much more. We look at the probability and plausibility concerning the likelihood the Steelers would ultimately trade for Ramsey. Alex has some interesting stats concerning the potential usage of new Steelers RB Kenneth Gainwell in 2025, so we go over that nice pull by him. Alex and I also dive deep into the historical nature of the Steelers scoring a touchdown on their opening offensive possession in Week One games.

June 18, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 149 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers signing S DeShon Elliott to a two-year contract extension this week. We go over what is known about that extension so far, the probable salary cap numbers, associated with it, and whether the team did the right thing when it comes to giving him the new deal. With Elliott now being finalized, Alex and I look at three players currently under contract and that signed new deals this offseason that could potentially wind up having their deals extended next offseason. The main three players discussed in this segment are CB Brandin Echols, ILB Malik Harrison, and T Calvin Anderson. Would the Steelers now offer WR Calvin Austin III the same type of extension they signed Elliott to? Would Austin even seriously consider such an offer if given it? We discuss those two questions quite a bit. Recently, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network made some interesting comments about the future of Steelers HC Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh. We attempt to get to the bottom of what Pelissero said and then attempt to speculate how, when, and why Tomlin's tenure with the Steelers will ultimately come to an end. Later in this show, Alex over all of the positional groups on defense and give our thoughts on those relative to being improved or not versus this time last year.
