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

The Pittsburgh Steelers still haven't signed their quarterback for 2025, which is a key free agency priority before other moves can be made. Christopher Carter explains why Omar Khan hasn't signed a quarterback, when that might happen, and the impact of Cole Holcomb's restructured contract that could signal big moves to come after a quarterback is signed. Also, Chris answers your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Are people being haters who want George Pickens traded? Should the Steelers go for big splash signings in NFL free agency? Those questions and more get answered on the show!

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers should be big players for receivers Christian Kirk and/or D.K. Metcalf over the next week. Christopher Carter points out the team's interest in Kirk during the season, and why Metcalf is a more realistic trade target than other receivers posed. But could the decision to go with either receiver signal what the team's plans are for George Pickens? Chris explains why he thinks Kirk could be a support option for Pickens as WR1, but that Metcalf could signal a complete reset of the position in 2025. Also, Chris gives his top 10 NFL Draft cornerback prospects and which ones might be the best fits for the Steelers.

Introducing Seattle Seahawks DK Metcalf WANTS OUT, Maxx Crosby Wants Aaron Rodgers & Bears Trade for OL Help from Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League.

Follow the show: Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League

The Seattle Seahawks made waves on Wednesday when DK Metcalf officially announced a trade request and the franchise released Tyler Lockett. The Seahawks look to be beginning the start of a new direction as a team. The Las Vegas Raiders made Maxx Crosby the highest paid non-QB in NFL history and now the star defensive end wants Aaron Rodgers on the team next. Finally, the Chicago Bears made multiple trades in recent days to bolster the offensive line with Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, but will it be enough to protect Caleb Williams?

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 have a need at wide receiver and Davante Adams is a free agent. Should Omar Khan prioritize the best receiver on the free agency market? Or should the Steelers go after less expensive options like Darius Slayton? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss the options, and why the Steelers are serious players at cornerback free agents like Charvarius Ward, Carlton Davis and Nate Hobbs. 

Finally, Saquon Barkley's new contract extension changes the running back market, but will it change the standing of Najee Harris in free agency? Chris and Nick discuss Harris, the Steelers' running back needs and the strong free agent class.

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 still haven't signed a quarterback for the 2025 season and are running out of time to make a reasonable deal with Justin Fields if he's to be their starter next season. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss the leverage between Fields and Omar Khan and what a contract between the two might look like. What's the right price for Fields or Russell Wilson? 

Also, Chris and Alan discuss the NFL Draft running back class and who might be the best fit for the Steelers' offense. Check this episode out to hear responses from Iowa's Kaleb Johnson and Miami's Damien Martinez as two options for the Steelers. Who would be the best partner for Jaylen Warren?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers weren't in on the San Francisco 49ers trade of Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders, but Christopher Carter thinks that's a good thing. Samuel doesn't fit the Steelers' need for a pure outside wide receiver and has an injury history and a salary that makes the trade less advantageous for the Steelers, while other options like Courtland Sutton would make more sense. 

Also, Chris shows his interactions with two key wide receivers in this NFL Draft class in Ohio State's Emeka Egbuka and Texas' Matthew Golden. Hear their responses and see why they're looking like leaders on Chris' potential draft picks. 

Finally, Chris announces his pick for the latest winner of Mock Draft Monday.

Introducing Deebo Samuel TRADED to Washington Commanders, Matthew Stafford Back to Rams & Giants Next QB Steps from Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League.

Follow the show: Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football League

The Washington Commanders are going all in and showed it by making a splash trade for Deebo Samuel. The former 49ers wide receiver came to DC for a fifth round pick. While that may be shocking to some, Samuel is not the player he wants was and this feels like a similar move we saw last offseason. The Matthew Stafford Saga ended this weekend where it obviously would, a return to the Los Angeles Rams. Stafford back to LA always made the most sense. Where does this leave the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders who were in on a Stafford pursuit?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabo of the Athletic.

The Pittsburgh Steelers appear to prioritize defensive tackles over cornerbacks at the NFL Combine. Christopher Carter and Mike DeFabo explain what's revealed that after interviewing cornerback prospects. While the Steelers need to address cornerback to find partners for Joey Porter Jr., it appears they're not interviewing as many cornerbacks at the NFL Combine as defensive tackles. Also, cornerbacks hit the podiums at the NFL Combine, and Texas cornerback Jahdae Barron impressed with his presence and answers to questions. What was there to learn from Azareye'h Thomas, Maxwell Hairston, Trey Amos and other cornerbacks at the combine? Finally, the Steelers could use a wide receiver and that's the group to next speak at the NFL Combine. Which players are Chris and Mike looking closer at in this draft class as a partner for George Pickens?
