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. We end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners of the show.
