The Terrible Podcast — Talking Steelers' OTA Quotes, Second-Year Player Expectations, Future George Pickens Contract & More

May 29, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 138 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday episode, Alex Kozora and I go all over the place in terms of topics and conversations concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers. We start by going over the latest news to come out of the second week of OTA practices and that includes recapping a few player quotes. We also discuss the talk about the NFL potentially shifting the offseason schedule as soon as 2025. Steelers QB Justin Fields set the record straight on Tuesday when it comes to him maybe returning a few kickoffs in 2024 so we have a little fun with that topic and the new kickoff rules. Alex and I then somehow get into a longer conversation about several second-year players on the Steelers' roster and the expectations of each. That talk centers around OT Broderick Jones, CB Joey Porter Jr., DT Keeanu Benton, TE Darnell Washington, and OLB Nick Herbig, mainly. There is some updated information on Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton to talk about in this show that revolves around the kind of raise he's reportedly looking for. June 1 is quickly approaching so we wonder if Sutton might be dealt in the next few weeks and if that happens, we wonder if the Steelers should be considered the favorites to land him. Alex and I somehow get to talking about the future of Steelers WR George Pickens past the 2024 season. What kind of contract might Pickens be looking for next summer and what are the chances of him becoming the Steelers' highest paid player come the start of the 2025 regular season. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 86-minute episode and we end it all by answering a few emails we have received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
