The Terrible Podcast – New Practice Squader, Rodgers' Comments About Wilson, Porter Jr. Contract Options & More
Description
September 4, 2026 -
Season 17, Episode 18 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the most recent player the Pittsburgh Steelers signed to their practice squad and how the team now has 75 total players under contract heading into the weekend.
Alex and I move on to discuss the overall health of the team heading into the weekend and how we are not expecting any transactions to be made until at least Monday.
On the heels of Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers talking on Wednesday about WR Roman Wilson and WR Germie Bernard, Alex and I go over what exactly he said and how he said what he said. We discuss the impact both young wide receivers could have on the offense in 2026 and if TE Pat Freiermuth might wind up having an even bigger role in the passing game than most probably expect him to have.
Moving forward in this show, Alex and I discuss the several concerns the Steelers have on offense heading into the 2026 season.
While the Steelers have yet to sign CB Joey Porter Jr. to a contract extension as of Friday morning, Alex and I still speculate as to whether a deal will get done in the next nine days and what it might look like if it does get ultimately get done. We look at things the Porter side should probably bargain for and things he might need to give up as part of the process.
Ideally, the Steelers and Porter will ultimately come to terms as part of a new contract extension that looks good for both sides, and we go over what we mean by that. We also look at whether the Steelers would have any issues accommodating Porter on a franchise tag next offseason, should that end up being the path both sides take.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced changes to their selection process on Friday morning, so Alex and I go over what those are and our initial interpretations of them later in this show.
This 92-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners.
