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 added weapons to their passing attack to help free up DK Metcalf for Aaron Rodgers. But will that work out the way they envisioned? Christopher Carter shows his back and forth with Rodgers after practice this week on how the team can better free up Metcalf from double-teams by opposing defenses. Part of that comes from a balanced plan that involves more targets to rookie Germie Bernard, veteran Michael Pittman Jr., and a renewed Roman Wilson. Also, Rodgers describes how Wilson has struggled as a route runner, but where the former Michigan speedster has improved in how he fits into the passing attack this year. Could their connection be a key to unlock the rest of the team? Finally, Chris details how 12 personnel packages continue to rise in their usage across the NFL. Could that be an extra weapon for Rodgers with Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington? Chris shows what Washington told him in an interview after practice this week, and how that could be a huge opportunity for Mike McCarthy to exploit -- which is something he did for the Dallas Cowboys in 2022.

Joey Porter Jr. still doesn’t have a new contract, and now he won’t commit to playing Week 1 without one. Is this a normal negotiation, or should Steelers fans be concerned?

Tyler Feldman, Wayne Gandy, Ben Bobick and Christopher Carter also debate Pittsburgh’s decision to keep four quarterbacks, evaluate the departures of Broderick Jones, Kaleb Johnson and Elandon Roberts, and deliver their early outlook for the Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Should the Steelers pay Porter before kickoff? And was keeping four quarterbacks the right move? Let us know in the comments.

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 saw Joey Porter Jr. return to practice Tuesday, but he didn't commit to playing or if there would be a new contract. Could he be closer to a new deal with the team? Or are he and the Steelers too far apart in the contract negotiations? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss what's going on with Porter and Omar Khan, and if an extension will happen before the start of the regular season. Watch to see what Porter said after practice about the contract negotiations. Also, Chris and Nick show what Jaquan Brisker and Porter both said about the secondary's chemistry despite not practicing together or playing together much in training campa and thre preseason. How will Porter, Brisker, Jalen Ramsey, DeShon Elliott, and Jamel Dean play together when the season gets started? And Cam Heyward has praises for the young defensive linemen on the team like Yahya Black, Gabriel Rubio, Derrick Harmon and Kevin Jobbity Jr.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders.

The Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan addressed how the team's moves to build the offensive line are still on track. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss what Khan said about the need to trade away Broderick Jones and how the Steelers want to build an offensive line of versatile blockers. Does Khan still have the right plan with Max Iheanachor, Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier at the core? And can Spencer Anderson be the guy they use as an extra offensive tackle? Also, Chris and Alan discuss how the Steelers have handled their current situations with Elandon Robert and Joey Porter Jr. Are the Steelers not planning to bring back Roberts despite how good he looked in the preseason? And is Khan misreading what is needed to get a contract negotiation done so that Porter can be the Steelers' top cornerback?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers revealed their 53-man roster, and Christopher Carter sees some important holes at offensive tackle and safety that still need to be filled. Though the Steelers kept four quarterbacks in Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and Drew Allar, what other moves could they have done to have a more complete roster? Also, who were the most surprising players kept by the Steelers? Gabriel Rubio, Eli Heidenreich, Robert Spears-Jennings and all of the Steelers' 2026 draft picks made the team along with obvious names like Max Iheanachor and Germie Bernard. Also, what is to be made of the Steelers' trades of Broderick Jones to the Dallas Cowboys and Kaleb Johnson to the Green Bay Packers? While they are correcting past mistakes, this time they aren't mistakes from Kevin Colbert, but of Omar Khan.
