Description
May 27, 2026 -
Season 16, Episode 141 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing how excited we are to hear from several of the Pittsburgh Steelers' coaches on Wednesday afternoon as part of the team resuming their OTA practices this week.
The Steelers re-signed DL Dean Lowry to a one-year contract on Tuesday, so Alex and I address that transaction and what it means for the defensive line depth chart moving forward into the offseason.
On the heels of the Steelers restructuring the contract of TE Pat Freiermuth recently, Alex and I go over all the details related to that transaction. We also discuss the team's current salary cap situation as of Tuesday morning and why the team might need to restructure the contract of at least one more veteran player before the 2026 regular season gets underway.
The finer details related to the four-year contract extension that K Chris Boswell recently signed have now surfaced, so with that, Alex and I address the known numbers and the impact of that deal on 2026 and future years.
Recently, Steelers OG Mason McCormick was tabbed as the team's most underappreciated player by one media outlet, so we discuss if that is an accurate designation as he enters his third NFL season. Alex and I also address the possibility that McCormick could be in line for a very lucrative contract extension next offseason.
How will new Steelers HC Mike McCarthy attack training camp this summer when it comes to him listening to the likes and dislikes of the veteran players under contract with the team? We dive into that question during this show.
Alex and I end this show by discussing the current statis of college QB Brendan Sorsby and whether he'll ultimately be part of the annual supplemental draft. We talk about the plausibility and probability related to the Steelers possibly being interested in drafting Sorsby should he ultimately be eligible for that draft process.
This 79-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.
