Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator Arthur Smith enters his second season with the team, but Christopher Carter thinks it could be a 'prove it' year with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. But could that prove it year be more for other teams than the Steelers? Smith has been interested in getting back into the head coaching ranks and this could be his chance to show he's still a progressive offensive mind in the NFL. Also, Chris takes a look at the salary cap space the Steelers have after Omar Khan's Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith trade, and at the Locked on Podcast Network's Top 100 NFL players' list to see where T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward ranked, and whether they got the proper respect.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still looking for the WR2 on the depth chart, and both Jauan Jennings and Terry McLaurin are in public contract disputes with their teams.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabo of the Athletic. The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't short on potential breakout players for their 2025 season, and Christopher Carter thinks that could be the team's hidden strength. Mike DeFabo discusses the top players positioned to make a name for themselves, including rookie running back Kaleb Johnson, center Zach Frazier, offensive tackle Troy Fautanu, linebacker Payton Wilson and many more. Also, what will be the best ways for the Steelers to use their new tight end in Jonnu Smith? And did the Jalen Ramsey trade make a contract extension for T.J. Watt less likely?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their leader in the secondary in Minkah Fitzpatrick, but will that role fall to Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., or DeShonn Elliott? Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner explore that question and how the Steelers continue to invest in the potential leadership of Porter for the future of their defense and franchise. Also, have the Steelers improved their defense enough to be ready for another season against the competitive quarterbacks of the AFC North? Last season ended with losses to Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens and Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. But considering they beat both teams in 2024, what do they need to improve against them in 2025?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers have made several big moves including Aaron Rodgers and Jalen Ramsey, but does that signal it's Mike Tomlin's last season? Christopher Carter and Josh Taylor argue that's not the case, and that both Omar Khan and Tomlin are putting together a string of moves that's still focused on a long term plan with Tomlin in the fold. Also, Chris and Josh take your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line, including questions about Tomlin's responsibility in playoff losses whether Omar Khan must change some of the organization's front office philosophies that have stood the test of time.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers project to have the most expensive defense in the NFL again in 2025. But Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders explain why that's an overhyped narrative, and that how much a team pays for certain positions is more of a cycled process and indicative of the team's efforts to keep star players like T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward. Could the Steelers soon see a flip to paying offensive players moree? Also, Chris and Alan take more of your questions, including how the Steelers fix communication issues without Minkah Fitzpatrick as Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay Jr. enter the secondary. Finally, could Slay make a move to free safety?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers will have the most expensive defense in 2025, but Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders argue it's an overblown narrative about where the unit should rank in the NFL. Should the Steelers now with Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay be a lock to be a top five defense for the first time since 2020? Also, Chris and Alan take your calls on the Steelers' communication errors and whether they can be fixed with so many new players, as well as whether Slay or Ramsey could play free safety to replace Minkah Fitzpatrick or if the team should target a free agent like Justin Simmons.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have made plenty of big moves from signing Aaron Rodgers to trading for Jalen Ramsey and D.K. Metcalf. But Christopher Carter still thinks the biggest focus of Omar Khan and the front office is to find their franchise quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft class. A recent NFL Mock Draft from ESPN's Matt Miller had the Steelers select South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers, one of Chris' top prospects for next year. Could the future of a Super Bowl window for the Steelers be closer than many believe? Also, Chris answers your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line, including whether Joey Porter Jr. is still a starting cornerback with Ramsey and Darius Slay Jr. in the fold, and whether the Steelers could be called "a dream team" with all of their moves.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' trade for Jonnu Smith bolstered the tight end position and passing attack. How can Smith team up with Pat Freiermuth and DK Metcalf to boost Aaron Rodgers' passing attack? Christopher Carter explores that, and Omar Khan's contract extension that shows the team's approval of his moves. Also, Chris answers more of your questions like why T.J. Watt hasn't gotten a better offer from the Steelers yet, whether the pass rush will be elite this season, and if the Steelers should trade for Romeo Doubs.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. When the Pittsburgh Steeleres made a trade for Jalen Ramsey, it was because they think he'll pair with the Steelers' top defensive weapons, and that includes T.J. Watt. Christopher Carter explains why that adds up to a likelihood that Watt will sign a contact extension to come before the season begins and what that might do for the Steelers' defense as Ramsey complements Watt and the pass rush. Also, Chris takes more of your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line on the Steelers' front office research, how aggressive Omar Khan has been in his early years as a general manager, and more.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers' trade for Jalen Ramsey addressed the team's lack of turnovers from Minkah Fitzpatrick over the past two seasons. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh examine how Ramsey's ball skills at cornerback will help the Steelers better address how the NFL is throwing passes shorter, quicker, and avoiding deep safeties while giving more turnover opportunities to a cornerback like Ramsey. Also, Chris and Nick explore what the Steelers need to do at free safety without Fitzpatrick. Should they get Justin Simmons, Julian Blackmon or Jordan Whitehead?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders. The Pittsburgh Steelers' trade for Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith from the Miami Dolphins that sent Minkah Fitzpatrick to his former team shook the NFL world, but does it mean they're all-in for the 2025 season? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders argue that's not the case, and that the Steelers' very much have their eyes on the future as they maintain all of their boatload of draft picks for 2026. But the move does shake up the secondary, so Chris and Alan explain how things will be different and where Ramsey might line up with Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay Jr.m Also, will Jonnu Smith take the TE1 spot from Pat Freiermuth?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't closed on a deal with T.J. Watt yet and it has some Steelers fans freaking out. Christopher Carter explains why a deal hasn't been signed yet, and why he's confident one will get done before the season begins. Also, Christopher answers your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line on whether there will be too many teams ahead of the Steelers to complete a trade-up for a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft and if the Steelers' team can resemble Peyton Manning's 2015 Denver Broncos that won a Super Bowl.

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Iowa RB Kaleb Johnson in the third round of the NFL Draft to bring an instant impact to the offense.

Also, Chris takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line on George Pickens and explains why Pickens could be proving Omar Khan right trading him away to the Dallas Cowboys.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington are going to get the biggest roles in the 2025 offense that they've had since joining the team. Christopher Carter explains how Arthur Smith plans to use them in different ways as receiving threats with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback compared to Justin Fields or Russell Wilson last year. Also, Jaylen Warren projects to be the starting running back for the Steelers to start the season, but how long can he hold onto that role with Kaleb Johnson in the fold as a rookie. And, who in the 2026 NFL Draft could be a receiver target for the Steelers.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. When Aaron Rodgers announced on the Pat McAfee Show that 2025 is most likely his last season, that further indicated he fits the Pittsburgh Steelers' long term plan. Christopher Carter explains why this points more towards what Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan envision for how to make the Steelers Super Bowl contenders again. But how can the Steelers do that with so much turnover on the offensive side of the ball? Chris dives into why it's less about the constant change at quarterback and more about the development of Broderick Jones, Zach Frazier, Troy Fautanu and the Steelers' offensive line along with playmakers like Pat Freiermuth, D.K. Metcalf and Kaleb Johnson that provide the answer.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers brought Aaron Rodgers in the later part of his career to help the offense. But could Rodgers' late career team change follow a similar path as Tom Brady and Peyton Manning? Christopher Carter explore that question, along with the makeup of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Denver Broncos teams and how they compare to the current Steelers roster. Could the Steelers' defense with T.J. Watt compare to the Broncos' defense with Von Miller? Also, does Rodgers come to the Steelers with a chip on his shoulder from how the media has portrayed him in recent years?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers look ready to go after their potential franchise quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft. But would Omar Khan go all-in for a top quarterback prospect? Christopher Carter dives in on that question, looking at prospects like Arch Manning, LaNorris Sellers, Garrett Nussmeier, and others, relating it to how the Steelers have made the rare aggressive move to trade up in the first round. Also, Chris answers your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line, including about whether Aaron Rodgers would come back for a year two with the Steelers and if Broderick Jones can be a better left tackle in 2025 than Dan Moore was in 2024.
