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 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.

We address that question and also go over a few offensive stats that the Steelers must get better in when it comes to 2025. We discuss touchdown drives in the first two drives and much more. Alex and I discuss Smith's one season with the Atlanta Falcons that included QB Matt Ryan as the starter. We also talk about the chores that Rodgers will now have when it comes to him getting on the same page with all members of the offense prior to the regular season getting underway. Is there any chance that Rodgers is once again the Steelers' quarterback in 2026? If so, would Smith still be the team's offensive coordinator in such a scenario? We attempt to answer those two questions during this show. We close this show by discussing OLB T.J. Watt as it relates to fan perception during this offseason's contract negotiations. We look back at the fan perception from several years ago when Watt was aiming for a lucrative contract extension and how it's unlikely to be the same this offseason.

Throughout this show, Alex and I have fairly lengthy discussions about Steelers WR Calvin Austin III, TE Darnell Washington, CB Joey Porter Jr., and T Broderick Jones. Those were triggered by several comments made about those particular players by several members of the offensive coaching staff this past week. Should glove color be important to Porter in 2025? Alex and I make our thoughts on that question well known in this show. We go over our most significant takeaways from the Steelers 2025 mandatory minicamp. We also discuss the prospects of the Steelers adding another playmaker before the start of the 2025 regular season.

Watt for minicamp and the relation that has to his contract extension negotiations.

Watt, WR DK Metcalf, CB Darius Slay, and G Isaac Seumalo, that were reportedly absent from the voluntary Tuesday OTA practice.

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.

Pickens was back in the news on Sunday, so Alex and I go over why he was and what he allegedly posted on Instagram, which was framed as him taking a shot at the Steelers for being cheap.

May 9, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 132 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to previewing the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2025 rookie minicamp that will take place over the weekend. We start the rookie minicamp preview by reviewing the roster the team will use these next three days. Alex and I focus on a few notable tryout players that we believe could impress enough over the weekend to warrant signing. We also make sure to go over the five non-rookie players that were invited to participate in this year's rookie minicamp. We go over the main things we are hoping to learn from the rookie minicamp as well. On Thursday, former Steelers WR George Pickens met the media to discuss his landing with the Dallas Cowboys via a trade on Wednesday. We go over several key things that Pickens said during that press conference and apply a few things to his time with the Steelers. We discuss Pickens apparently not pushing for a new contract now that he has been traded and if he would have done the same with the Steelers had they not traded him. Alex and I go over the potential role that Steelers HC Mike Tomlin had in the team's decision to trade Pickens. We also go over what the team's plan or plans might be moving forward into 20215 and 2026 now that Pickens is no longer in Pittsburgh. We discuss how serious the Steelers probably think they are right now when it comes to them being a competitive team in 2025. The details related to the Steelers' 2025 regular season game in Dublin, Ireland are scheduled to be announced early next week so Alex and I pass along that bit of news as well.

In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers trading WR George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. We go over the trade details to start with. Alex and I discuss the Pickens' exit via a trade from several different angles during this show. We talk about why they possibly didn't trade him before or during the draft. We also discuss the team not drafting a wide receiver this year and go over those available players at that position that were still on the board at the conclusion of the second round. Could any of these players offered significant contributions to the Steelers in 2025 as rookies? We discuss that question. Will the Steelers look to add another experienced wide receiver now that Pickens has been traded? We attempt to answer that question and even build a compact list of wide receivers the Steelers might could trade for or sign as free agents. We make sure to question the Steelers plan at wide receiver at this point and especially on the heels of what transpired in 2024 at that position. Does the trading of Pickens at all impact the decision that veteran QB Aaron Rodgers has yet to make when it comes to him possibly signing with the Steelers? We address that question as well. After thoroughly looking at the Pickens' situation and impact of the trade from all angles, Alex and I move on to briefly discuss former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger having QB Will Howard and OLB Jack Sawyer, two members of this year's draft class, on the latest episode of his podcast.

We go over the Steelers adding another undrafted free agent and several players that are know to have had been invited to participate in the team's annual rookie minicamp. Alex and then move forward to discuss new Steelers QB Will Howard and specifically, the full contextualization I posted on his deep passing at Ohio State in 2024. We go over the data from that deep passing study and our main takeaways after going over all 47 attempts. Alex and then attempt to answer why Howard fell to the sixth round in the 2025 NFL Draft and if it was fine for the team to use a late-round selection on him.

On the heels of the Steelers selecting RB Kaleb Johnson in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, I have finished a full contextualization of his explosive runs for his college career at Iowa.

April 22, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 123 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Tuesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the main takeaways stemming from the annual pre-draft press conference that Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan and HC Mike Tomlin had on Tuesday morning. While Khan and Tomlin didn't give away any draft secrets on Tuesday, they did at least provide several talking points for us during their press conference. We discuss the Steelers possibly moving down instead of up in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft based on what Khan said. We also discuss the Steelers not moving away from a player or players they like in the first round as well. We go over what Khan and Tomlin said about the state of the quarterback room right now and their view of the status with free agent QB Aaron Rodgers. Tomlin talked a little about RB Jaylen Warren as well as the nose tackle position on Tuesday, so Alex and I parse those comments. We also go over what Khan said about the Steelers possibly trading WR George Pickens this weekend as well as the plausibility of the team re-acquiring a second round select in the 2025 NFL Draft. Tomlin talked a lot about the team's pre-draft meeting with Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders so Alex and I over parse what he had to say. We talk some about Tomlin saying that his first time ever meeting Sanders was when he came to Pittsburgh for his pre-draft visit and if that is in any way notable. Alex and I also discuss the Steelers need for a big play running back when it comes to this year's draft and how height, weight and age should not matter when it comes to landing such a player.

April 21, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 122 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing a few notable things said and written by Adam Schefter of ESPN and Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette with draft week now officially here. When it comes to Schefter, we discuss him throwing out Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens as one of 13 players still on rookie contracts that could potentially be traded before the 2025 NFL Draft ends. Alex and I discuss the plausibility and probability of Pickens ultimately being traded and what it would likely need to look like for both sides as far as compensation and potential contract negotiation obstacles go. There are quite a few hypotheticals thrown around in this discussion. Schefter also threw out the idea that the Steelers could trade down in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, so Alex and I look at the plausibility, probability and hypotheticals associated with the Steelers potentially doing that. As for Dulac, he has essentially indicated that the Steelers would only draft a position such as quarterback in the first round if a defensive lineman they desire is no longer on the board. Alex and I push back a little bit on that notion. We also address Dulac's recent thoughts on a new contract for OLB T.J. Watt this summer and push back on a few things associated with what he said on that matter as well. Will Oregon DL Derrick Harmon be off the board by the 21st overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft? Could the Cincinnati Bengals be in serious contention to select Harmon at 17th overall? Would the Bengals pick Harmon over Mississippi DT Walter Nolen? Also, could weight control at all be considered a concern when it comes to Harmon? We address all of these questions during the Monday show. Could North Dakota State QB Cam Miller factor into the Steelers' draft plans this year? We discuss the recent news associated with Miller and the Steelers. I also inform Alex how I have warmed up quite a bit on Ohia State QB Will Howard after watching more of his tape over the weekend. Alex and I discuss the possibility of only four or five running backs being selected before the 83rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. How many teams are likely to select a running back before the Steelers 83rd overall selection with this year's draft class being so deep at the position? Is there any chance at all the Steelers will select a tight end or offensive lineman in the 2025 NFL Draft? Alex and I tackle those two position groups later in this show.

The Rodgers interview was nearly 40 minutes in length, and it provided a lot of talking points for us to discuss. Alex and I also go over our main takeaways that seemed useful stemming from that Thursday interview. We also discuss the stance the steelers should have with Rodgers at this point when it comes to a possible time frame they need his decision by. After discussing Rodgers to open the show we move on to our annual pre-draft roundtable discussion with several contributors of the site. The roundtable this year includes Joe Clark, Ross McCorkle, Josh Carney, Jonathan Heitritter, Nate Kosko, Jake Brockhoff, and Steven Pavelka all joining the show to discuss several 2025 draft prospects. We address several main position groups the Steelers are likely to have the most interest in this year.

In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers re-signing G Max Scharping to a one-year contract on Tuesday. We go over what his signing means and what his contract should look like. The Steelers have now completed all of their pre-draft visits as of Wednesday morning, so Alex and I go over that list of players. We discuss notable players that were not brough in for a visit and what that is likely to mean for a few of them. We also discuss the two running backs that visited on Tuesday and the likelihood of one of them being selected by the Steelers in 2025 NFL Draft. Will the Steelers make three selections in the first three rounds of this year's draft by the time day-two ends? Alex and I discuss my gut feeling when it comes to that specific question. Alex and I attempt to build a compact list of players we think the Steelers will draft in the first round based on pre-draft visits and pro-day activity. Now that I have caught up more on the tape of Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders, Alex and I have a lengthy conversation about him and if the Steelers should consider him a franchise player in the first round and especially if he were to fall to them at 21st overall. We also go over some deep passing stats related to other Power Five Conference quarterbacks in this year's draft class. Later in this Wednesday show, Alex and I go over some choices to be late-round sleepers for the Steelers in this year's draft.

In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the recent injury news concerning New Orleans Saints Derek Carr and the impact that might have on quarterbacks being selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. We also discuss the likelihood of free agent QB Aaron Rodgers maybe being an option for the Saints. If the Steelers select a defensive lineman in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, could that player wind up being either Derrick Harmon out of Oregon or Kenneth Grant out of Michigan? What if both players are still on the draft board and the Steelers have to decide between the two? Which one is the best fit for the Steelers and why? Alex and I attempt to answer those questions. Alex released another positional draft study over the weekend and this one revolves around running backs. We go over the box checkers from that position group and much more as a result of his study. 2025 sets up to be a huge deciding season for Steelers T Broderick Jones. We discuss what a big 2025 year it is for Jones and some of the areas he must improve him based on his first two seasons with the Steelers. We also discuss how it's hard to be bullish on the Steelers 2025 offensive line until we see more out of the unit. Alex recently wrote about members of the 2025 draft class that have NFL bloodlines, so we go over that list of players during this show as well. This 103-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap as well.

In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers having Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders in for a pre-draft visit on Thursday and how that trip to the facility supposedly went. On Wednesday, Steelers OLB T.J. Watt had a post on Instagram that went viral, so we discuss all of the commotion that produced. Alex and I dive into whether Watt really was trying to send some sort of message with that picture that lacked context or narration. We also discuss the likelihood of Watt being trading and him ultimately signing a contract extension at some point this summer. I go over why I believe Watt will sign an extension this offseason as it relates to the Steelers projected cash spending in 2025. We also discuss what Watt might be looking for in a contract extension in both APY and cash flow. The Steelers have three additional pre-draft visitors on Friday, so Alex and I roll over that list of three players. We also total up the number of visitors so far and how many we expect to have come to Pittsburgh next week. We also discuss the Steelers having a pro day dinner at Michigan not long ago and the significance of that. Alex released another positional draft study on Friday and this one revolves around cornerbacks. We go over the one player that checked every box for what the Steelers look for as well as others that just missed the cut by one box. The Steelers seem primed to draft a running back this year, so Alex and I discuss the 2025 draft class at that position. We each name our top fits for the Steelers at that position. What is the value of free agent QB Aaron Rodgers at this point? Alex and I go over an outsiders' value on Rodgers and much more related to him as we wait to see if he'll sign with the Steelers.

April 9, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 117 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly having Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders in for a pre-draft visit this week. We discuss everything related to Sanders and the Steelers possibly even drafting him this year in the first round. We discuss the risks and rewards related to drafting Sanders. The Steelers pre-draft visitor list grew again on Wednesday, so Alex and I discuss the players in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. One of those players is Oregon DL Derrick Harmon and so we discuss what a big deal that is. Alex recently posted another draft history study on Wednesday, and it revolves around what the Steelers look for at the wide receiver position. We go over the five players that checked all of the boxes in his study and a few others that just missed that list as well. The Steelers recently re-signed T Calvin Anderson to a two-year contract so we review the numbers and layout associated with that deal. Alex also released a new mock draft on Wednesday, so we go through all six of his selections for the Steelers and the reasoning behind each one of them. NFL draft analyst Dane Brugler released his annual draft guide on Wednesday, so Alex and I review several rankings at various positions that he has.

We discuss the possibility of Milroe being a first-round selection this year and if he could be in play for the Pittsburgh Steelers at the 21st overall selection. Alex and I go over the Steelers Friday pre-draft visitors that included Texas WR Matthew Golden. We talk about the significance of Golden coming to Pittsburgh for a visit and the likelihood of him being the Steelers selection at 21st overall. The Steelers have yet to bring in several of the top defensive linemen in this year's draft class for facility visits and we discuss the significance of that. Alex and I go over a lengthy list of players in this year's draft class as it relates to each possibly being guaranteed to be selected within the first 20 picks. In short, we attempt to build a list of players we believe will be off the board when the Steelers pick in the first round. Is Oregon DL Derrick Harmon worthy of a first-round selection? Alex and I debate his pre-draft status after going back through some more tape on him. Alex has started his annual series on what the Steelers look for in the draft at certain positions and his first post is up on Monday on the defensive linemen group. We go over the list of players that check all of the boxes and more. Alex has watched a few more wide receivers in this year's draft class and that leads to us discussing players from that position group we firmly believe could be in play at 21st overall in the first round of this year's draft. The Steelers have named two pre-draft visitors for Monday, so Alex and I make sure to go over those players in this show.

In this Friday morning episode, Josh Carney and Ross McCorkle both sit in for Alex Kozora, who is limited with an upper body injury. We start this show by going over a recent debit to the salary cap that the Pittsburgh Steelers received on Thursday that revolves around former WR Mike Williams. I explain why that debit came as a surprise. While we are all waiting for free agent QB Aaron Rodgers to make his decision, the three of us discuss his possible contract asking price and especially on the heels of Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith agreeing to a two-year extension on Thursday. We also talk about where the Steelers are most likely to select a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft and if they would dare consider picking one in the first round. The Steelers have had several more pre-draft visitors at their facility since our Wednesday show so the three of us go over that full list of players. Texas WR Matthew Golden, who many believe will be a first-round selection this year, was one of those recent visitors so we discuss his trip to Pittsburgh and what it might mean. All three of us discuss several members of the wide receiver and running back draft class this year as it relates to the Steelers. Might the Steelers really consider trading WR George Pickens during the draft? We discuss that possibility during this show as well. Josh posted a new mock draft version on Friday morning so the three of us review his six selections for the Steelers. Later in this Friday show, the three of us discuss the Steelers offseason practice schedule that was released on Thursday.

We discuss several of those topics he commented on and more. The NFL's official records will finally incorporate All-America Football Conference statistics moving forward so Alex and I briefly discuss that bit of news to come out on Tuesday.

Alex and I attempt to answer that question and what things the Steelers might do should they decide to give Boswell more money in 2025. With the 2025 NFL Draft taking place later this month, Alex and I start to have more nuanced talks about the position groups. During this Wednesday show, Alex and I discuss the 2025 wide receiver draft class as it relates to the more prominent players. Moving on, we talk about where the Steelers might select a wide receiver in this year's draft, the type of wide receiver they might draft, and much more. We also discuss a few more wide receivers in this year's draft class we will be efforting to learn more about this next week.

With Wilson now out of the picture, Alex and I discuss what that means for QB Aaron Rodgers possibly finally landing with the Steelers in the very near future.

We also discuss the news that free agent WR Terrace Marshall recently came in for a visit.

Watt is still expected to get a new contract at some point during this offseason so Alex and I again address the impact that should have on the team's salary cap and cash spending totals.

The Atlanta Falcons have decided to keep QB Kirk Cousins for at least a little bit longer as his 2026 roster bonus of $10 million has been exercised by the team as a result of the team not cutting him by today. Was this a smart move by the Falcons? Will they eventually trade him? Alex and I have a meaty discussion on that topic that includes some differences in opinions.

Some interesting college pro days are scheduled for this week, so Alex and I go over a few of them.
