In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing what all Pittsburgh Steelers team president Art Rooney II had to say on Tuesday during his media session at the NFL's owners’ meetings in Florida. Rooney talked about where things currently sit with the team's pursuit of free agent QB Aaron Rodgers, the recent rule proposals that were voted on, and how he feels the team has done in free agency to date. 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. Will the Steelers do anything with K Chris Boswell this offseason when it comes to his 2025 contract year? 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. Later in this episode, Alex and I numerically rate the need at every position when it comes to the Steelers and the 2025 NFL Draft. It's a fun little exercise overall.

With the 2025 NFL owners’ meetings underway in Florida, Steelers HC Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan have both conducted media sessions to start this week.

We go over a few things that Khan reportedly said during his Monday media session as well. Alex and I discuss the similarities and differences between Metcalf and WR George Pickens based on things Tomlin said during his interviews.

In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the latest buzz concerning Alabama QB Jalen Milroe and the Pittsburgh Steelers potentially selecting him in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. We discuss the likelihood of that happening in addition to other quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft that the Steelers could potentially select at any point.

We discuss Tomlin and others being at the Notre Dame pro day on Thursday. Alex also continues to wonder if the Steelers might strongly consider selecting a safety in the first round of this year's draft.

March 26, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 111 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing QB Russell Wilson signing with the New York Giants on Tuesday. We discuss Wilson's deal and thus his exit from the Pittsburgh Steelers after just one season. Alex and I discuss the one-year that Wilson played in Pittsburgh and what likely resulted in him not re-signing with the team this offseason. We also roll back to comments made in late January by Steelers president Artt Rooney II concerning his hope being that the team would re-sign one of Wilson or QB Justin Fields this offseason. With Wilson off to the Giants, Alex and I discuss the Steelers' current compensatory draft pick situation for 2026. We talk about the possibility of the team having a total of four third-round draft picks in 2026 should Wilson and Fields both have solid 2025 seasons for their new teams. We also discuss the possibility of the Steelers ultimately being able to trade up in the 2026 NFL Draft to select a first-round quarterback. 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. Will we get a decision within the next two weeks when it comes to Rodgers' future? We discuss that topic as we all wait to see if he'll be the team's next starting quarterback. We move on to discuss the Steelers claiming OL Lecitus Smith off waivers from the New England Patriots a few days ago. We also discuss the news that free agent WR Terrace Marshall recently came in for a visit. As expected, the Steelers have a large contingent at the Ohio State pro day on Wednesday, so we discuss that news and the Wednesday report that HC Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan met with three notable players from that school on Tuesday night. Hall of Fame CB Mel Blount was on the latest episode of the Ben Roethlisberger podcast, so Alex and I discuss a few blunt things that he had to say about the Steelers organization.

March 25 – Ep. 48: On this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and Ross McCorkle dive into another discussion on Aaron Rodgers given his meeting ot the Steelers on Friday. We discuss contingency plans at the quarterback position and explain how certain (or not) we are that Rodgers will ultimately choose Pittsburgh. For the next topic, we deep dive into the Steelers comp pick strategy for 2026 and how it likely informed their free agency plan. Is the comp pick windfall a sign of things to come for the Steelers' draft plans of the future. What are they planning to do with the extra draft capital? Can the Steelers get a fourth draft pick from Russell Wilson? For the third topic, we discuss some comments made by Cameron Heyward on his podcast this morning about recruiting DK Metcalf and scouting D-line prospects like Michigan's Kenneth Grant.

March 24, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 110 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, which was recorded late Sunday night, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers brining free agent QB Aaron Rodgers for a six hour visit on Friday. We discuss Rodgers fit in Pittsburgh, what his relationship with Steelers OC Arthur Smith might be like and much more. The quarterback free agents shrunk by one on Friday as Jameis Winston is signing with the New York Giants. We discuss what that might mean for QB Russell Wilson at this point. Could Wilson ultimately sign with the Cleveland Browns after the 2025 MNFGL Draft and cost his former team some compensatory draft pick value? Alex and I discuss that notion as well as the possibility of Wilson and former QB Kenny Pickett landing on another team together. Alex and I discuss how the Rodgers' visit on Friday prevented Steelers HC Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan from attending the Michigan pro day. We also discuss the possibility of the Steelers still selecting a quarterback in the middle rounds of 2025 NFL Draft. Are the Steelers still primed to select a defensive lineman in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft? We have that discussion. Alex and I also discuss the pro day schedule for this week and where we might see certain members from the Steelers' organization at. This 77-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap as well.
