Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were rumored to be in trade talks for Trevor Lawrence, but Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner point out it's bogus. The Steelers' quarterback needs are real, but Justin Fields is a better option than giving up trade assets for Lawrence, and the Steelers need to have a plan in place for the future.

But can Mike Tomlin, Omar Khan and the organization plan to wait until the 2026 NFL Draft? And can the team get a franchise quarterback in the draft without tanking? Chris and Jenna go over how the only quarterbacks selected in the top 10 picks of drafts going back to 2004 to win a Super Bowl for the team who drafted them are Patrick Mahomes and Eli Manning, and tanking isn't the answer.

Also, Chris and Jenna take a caller's question on the Locked on Steelers hotline about whether Art Rooney II is a cheap owner for the Steelers. While the caller thinks it's about player spending, Chris and Jenna point to where the real Steelers spending problem exists.
