Season 16, Episode 134 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers signing six of their 2026 draft class members to their rookie contracts over the weekend. We also talk about timelines related to the Steelers getting the remaining four members of their draft class signed.
The Steelers held their annul rookie minicamp over the weekend and with that event now complete, Alex and I give our main takeaways and things that stood out to us on Friday and Saturday.
Alex and I begrudgingly discuss the latest news and non-news related to QB Aaron Rodgers, who was supposedly in Pittsburgh over the weekend.
Alex and I also discuss a few things that Steelers HC Mike McCarthy had to say on Saturday. Additionally, we go over the post that Alex wrote this weekend on McCarthy’s quarterback class video that was posted years ago when he was with the Green Bay Packers.
The first Sunday night 2026 regular-season game will feature the Dallas Cowboys playing the New York Giants, so Alex and I quickly discuss that news. We also talk about the Steelers possibly opening their 2026 regular season at home and if we might see the Houston Texans as their Week 1 opponent.
Alex and I have an extended discussion about the Steelers DT Keeanu Benton when it comes to him possibly signing a contract extension this offseason. We discuss an expected APY this offseason for Benton and whether we both think the Steelers will ultimately get a deal done with him this summer. We also discuss whether Benton might be wise to bet on himself in 2026 in hopes of getting a huge payday next March as an unrestricted free agent.
Later in this show, Alex and I discuss Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson and the possibility of him being cut or traded right before the start of the 2026 regular season.
This 98-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we make sure to answer a few listener emails we have received to close out this show.
