Season 16, Episode 105 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Baltimore Ravens reneging on their trade with the Las Vegas Raiders for EDGE Maxx Crosby because of a failed physical. We have quite a bit to say on that topic.

The Ravens have since decided to sign former Cincinnati Bengals EDGE Trey Hendrickson as an unrestricted free agent, so Alex and I obviously have comments on that AFC North transaction.

The Steelers agreed to terms with P Cameron Johnston and S Darnell Savage to cheap one-year contracts on Tuesday, so Alex and I go over the additions of those two players. We also discuss the projected contract numbers for both players.

Alex and I then proceed to discuss the erroneous report on Tuesday night concerning the Steelers agreeing to terms with untendered free agent Dallas Cowboys OL Brock Hoffman. We discuss Jordan Schultz deleting that report and the chances of the Steelers still being able to get Hoffman signed after the start of the new league year.

Steelers DT Cameron Heyward was in the news on Tuesday thanks to him getting a one-year extension from the team. Alex and I go over the finer details related to Heyward's contract extension and how it essentially was just the veteran defensive linemen receiving a $2 million raise for the 2026 season. We also discuss Heyward's 2026 salary cap number decreasing by nearly $5.5 million and why that happened.

While several contract details related to newly signed players have yet to surface, I give a rough estimate at where the Steelers currently sit when it comes to salary cap space based on several educated guesses.

Later in this show, Alex and I discuss where the Steelers currently sit on the 2027 compensatory draft pick standings. We talk about how the Steelers might exit this offseason with just one compensatory draft pick ultimately being awarded to the team a year from now.

This 83-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap and we end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners.

For Episode 1,832 this Tuesday afternoon, Josh Carney says that the big splashes on the first day of the legal tampering window hopefully don't block the Steelers from swinging big at WR or CB in the draft.

Season 16, Episode 104 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Tuesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the additions the Pittsburgh Steelers made on Monday, the first day of the 2026 legal tampering period.

Alex and I talk quite extensively about the Steelers trading for WR Michael Pittman Jr. and their signings of CB Jamel Dean and RB Rico Dowdle. We go over what is known about the contracts given to all three players and what we have seen on tape from all of them. We also grade each of the player additions.

The Steelers also re-signed CB Asante Samuel Jr., ILB Cole Holcomb and DL Esezi Otomewo on Monday so we talk about all three of those new deals during this show. The Steelers also lost three of their own free agents on Monday in G Isaac Seumalo, RB Kenneth Gainwell, and CB James Pierre. We discuss the three deals those players signed with new teams during this show.

Alex and I move forward to discuss the positions the Steelers might target as they move forward into the legal tampering period. We also go over a few individual players the team might consider signing.

There’s been a lot of recent smoke concerning the Dallas Cowboys possibly wanting to trade for Steelers ILB Patrick Queen, so Alex and I address that topic during this show. We go over why the Steelers might be willing to trade Queen, what they might be looking for as compensation for him, and what the team's plan might be if he's ultimately dealt before March 15.

The Steelers officially received their 2026 compensatory draft picks on Monday, so Alex and I recap those. We also address where the Steelers stand right now as far as 2027 compensatory draft pick values go as we head into Tuesday.

The Baltimore Ravens have lost quite a few of their own free agents so far, so Alex and I address that topic. We also address why Steelers C Zach Frazier and TE Darnell Washington are pretty happy with what they both observed on Monday.

This 90-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap.
