Season 16, Episode 99 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers when it comes to the Thursday leaked NFLPA report card for 2026. We go over the grades the Steelers received on that report card in various categories and much more.

On the heels of the leaked NFLPA report on Thursday, and with Mike Tomlin no longer the team's head coach, Alex and I discuss what kind of draw the Steelers currently have when it comes to the team attempting to sign unrestricted free agents in the near future.

The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine is well underway in Indianapolis, IN and with the first day of on-the-field testing now completed, Alex and I recap what stood out on Thursday when it comes to the defensive line, edge, and linebacker groups. We discuss how deep a few of those position groups seem to be this year and we go over several individual performances from players on Thursday.

Alex and I look ahead to the Friday position groups at the scouting combine and that means we preview the cornerbacks, safeties, and tight ends during this Friday show. We discuss several players we will have our eyes on later on Friday.

With the draft hopeful quarterbacks and wide receivers talking to the media on Friday morning at the scouting combine, Alex and recap the players that the Steelers have had formal and informal meetings with so far.

Could and should the Steelers look into trading for Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. during the next eight weeks? We discuss that question and also go over the plausibility and probability of such a trade coming to fruition. Alex and I talk about what would be acceptable trade compensation from the Steelers should the Jaguars indeed be willing to trade Thomas in the coming weeks.

The Dallas Cowboys have now officially placed the franchise tag on former Steelers WR George Pickens, so Alex and I discuss that bit of news later in this Friday show.

This 93-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap and we end this episode by answering several emails we have received from listeners.
