Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been rumored to be calling around for NFL trade possibilities. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss whether Terry McLaurin, Kyle Pitts, Chris Olave or Jonnu Smith could be realistic or fantasy targets, and when Omar Khan might even try to make such a move to boost the offense. 

Also, Chris and Alan take your calls from the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Have the Steelers misused offensive linemen like Broderick Jones, Kevin Dotson and Kendrick Green and set the offense back? And should the Steelers be looking into trading away Minkah Fitzpatrick?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers need to free up more chances for T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith to be game wreckers. Christopher Carter breaks down how that will happen with his film study, and why it could change everything about the defense and Mike Tomlin's pass rush in 2025. Also, Chris takes your calls to answer question about the defensive depth on the roster with Derrick Harmon, Jack Sawyer, Cory Trice and other key young players. Finally, Chris answers a question on the 2026 NFL Draft on what the plan might be if the Steelers don't think their quarterback of the future is available.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are rumored to have called several NFL teams about potentially trading for an offensive weapon to add as a playmaker in the passing game. Christopher Carter goes over why he thinks it's more of a research project than a true effort to trade right now for Omar Khan, and what it might take for the Steelers to pull off such a trade for a big playmaker like Terry McLaurin. 

Also, Chris examines the potential of the Steelers trading for Jonnu Smith, and why their reported interest in him seems directly linked to Arthur Smith having control of building the offense. Finally, Chris explains whyt T.J. Watt will sign an extension with the Steelers.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers need Joey Porter Jr.to develop into a cornerback star for the defense, and Darius Slay Jr. is the player they think can both play well with him and mentor him moving forward. But what key factors could make them the right pair to boost the Steelers' secondary? Christopher Carter gives his insights and shows clips from their interviews during Steelers OTAs. 

Also, Broderick Jones spoke on his efforts to lose weight heading into the 2025 season. How can that make him a better offensive tackle now that he's settling back into left tackle, where he feels a more natural fit on the offensive line?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers put Broderick Jones at left tackle and Troy Fautanu at right tackle on the first day of OTAs. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss the potential impact of both players being at their more comfortable positions on the future of the offensive line with Zach Frazier at center. Can Jones step up at left tackle after his right tackle struggles? And how quickly can Fautanu get up to speed after missing his rookie year? 

Also, Chris and Nick discuss first looks at Roman Wilson after his season ending injury last season and whether the Steelers will see him make a real impact in a receiver role in 2025. Finally, does Juan Thornhill's addition to the secondary complete the safety room with DeShon Elliott and Minkah Fitzpatrick? See clips of both Wilson and Elliott in today's show.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers got more hints that Aaron Rodgers will sign soon with the team this weekend. Christopher Carter explains why Mike Tomlin, Omar Khan and the Steelers organization is in a better situation to handle Rodgers than the New York Jets were. For one, despite the Steelers' wait for Rodgers, they're not as desperate as the Jets had been considering they made him their franchise quarterback who had plenty of authority within their organization. 

Also, should the Steelers trade for Green Bay Packers receiver Romeo Doubs to work with Rodgers? Or should they target someone bigger in a trade or sign a free agent like Keenan Allen or Amari Cooper?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers begin OTAs next week and Christopher Carter thinks there are legitimate signs that Aaron Rodgers could sign with the team soon. But if he does, what must Rodgers accomplish in his early days with the team before training camp in establishing a rapport with D.K. Metcalf, Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin and company. 

Also, Chris takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line, including on Arthur Smith and how much of a leash he has this season, what his connection might be with Rodgers, and what could be holding up a WR2 trade.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' current roster plan is to build from the trenches out, mimicking the Philadelphia Eagles. Christopher Carter answers a fan question on whether that's the right plan, and if the Steelers are wrong for not trying to forge their own unique identity of a team. 

Also, Chris answers more of your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line about whether the Steelers should move on from offensive line coach Pat Meyer, whether they should've invested more at guard in the offseason, and how the AFC North drafts of other teams might impact the Steelers.
