June 8, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 147 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 as they get ready for their final week of offseason practices. The Steelers recently signed OLB Nick Herbig and TE Darnell Washington to lucrative contract extensions, so on the heels of the two deals, Alex and I go over the finer details of both. We discuss the fully guaranteed money included in both deals, the injury guaranteed amounts, the cash flows, and the new 2026 salary cap charges for each player. Alex and I also quickly go over the new one-year contracts that TE Robert Tonyan and LB Jamin Davis each signed last week and how neither impacted the Steelers’ salary cap situation. With the recent fleury of contract news, Alex and I go over where the Steelers now sit when it comes to their 2026 salary cap status. We discuss current salary cap space and what awaits the team when it comes to future costs later in the offseason. Alex and I discuss the latest news on college QB Brendan Sorsby when it comes to his potential 2026 playing eligibility. Alex recently wrote about what statistical areas that the Steelers must improve in this coming season, so we go over those three in addition to adding a fourth one while discussing the topic.

June 5, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 146 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers signing TE Robert Tonyan and LB Jamin Davis on the heels of both players coming to Pittsburgh for tryouts this past week. We discuss what each brings to the team and how each make the overall 91-man roster better. The Steelers waived UDFA TE Chamon Metayer on Thursday, so Alex and I make sure to recap that team transaction and the dead money charges that came along with it. TE Darnell Washington was signed to a four-year, $42 million contract extension since our last show, so Alex and I dedicate a lot of time to discussing the finer details of that deal and his role and possible usage on offense moving forward into the 2026 season. With the Steelers being expected to sign CB Joey Porter Jr. to a contract extension at some point prior to the regular season getting underway, Alex and I discuss what might be holding up that deal from getting done at this point of the offseason. Will the Steelers also get DT Keeanu Benton signed to an extension this offseason? Alex and I reexplore the possibility and probability of that happening and what his APY value seems to be right now. We also discuss whether a Benton contract extension could potentially wind up being for four years. OLB T.J. Watt held a media session a few days ago, so Alex and I go over the few notable things he had to say about his role and usage in the defense moving forward under the new coaching staff. With former Steelers QB Russell Wilson retiring from the NFL this week, Alex and I discuss whether he is Hall of Fame worthy or not.

June 4 – Ep. 102: For today's episode, Josh Carney and Ross McCorkle discuss the barrage of contract extensions during mandatory minicamp, and debate whether Pittsburgh made good business decisions with Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington. What does Herbig's deal mean for the OLB room, and who else may be getting paid soon? Next, we discuss another offseason of Roman Wilson buzz after a deep-ball connection from Aaron Rodgers to Wilson on the final day of minicamp practice. Is it okay to buy into the hype again after being burned last year? We debate this and more. For the last topic, we talk about all the other misc. buzz from minicamp including Jack Sawyer's new physique, Daylen Everette impressing, T.J. Watt moving around the defense, and more. We wrap up the show with a listener question about Carson Bruener. Thank you for joining us for this 48-minute episode, and we hope to see your thoughts in the comment section.

June 3, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 145 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing Pittsburgh Steelers finally signing free agent S Darnell Savage to a one-year contract on Tuesday. We also discuss the player waived to make room for Savage on the roster. The Steelers had five players in for tryouts on Tuesday, so Alex and I go over that list players, which is headlined by TE Robert Tonyan and ILB Jamin Davis. The Cleveland Browns traded away DE Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, so Alex and I both chime in on what that deal included and now means for both teams as well as the Steelers. Alex and I then talk a little bit more about the Steelers' decision to sign OLB Nick Herbig to a four-year, $100 million contract extension on Tuesday. We discuss how the onus is now on the Steelers to find a way to get Herbig on the field more in 2026 and even it is part of a three outside linebacker package that also includes T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. With the Herbig extension now completed, Alex and I address the plausibility and probability of the Steelers trading away one of Watt or Highsmith. We discuss the possible highest draft pick compensation for either player as part of any type of trade and if either of us would consider such a deal. The Steelers now seem poised to sign CB Joey Porter Jr. to a contract extension on the heels of Herbig getting done, so Alex and I speculate what a new deal might ultimately look like for him. We also discuss the possibility of Porter receiving fully guaranteed money beyond 2026 should he indeed wind up signing a contract extension this offseason.
