May 30, 2025 Is Omar Khan Close to a WR Deal? | Steelers Morning Rush
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's when we should expect Omar Khan to make a move at receiver.
The Steelers have been calling all around the NFL in an obvious attempt to upgrade their wide receiver position, after trading George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Khan has been in touch with at least the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- and almost certainly a lot more than that.
But does that mean that a move is at hand? Probably not. Alan breaks it down.

May 29, 2025 Make-or-Break Year for Joey Porter Jr? | Steelers Morning Rush
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's whether the 2025 season is make or break for cornerback Joey Porter Jr.
Porter has had a solid first two seasons as the Steelers' starting cornerback, and there's plenty of reason to be optimistic about the player that he's already become. But there's also nothing physically stopping him from being one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL.
With his rookie contract set to expire after the 2026 season, this year will be the last chance for Porter to put down tape that he will get paid on. So is this a make-or-break season for the Penn State product? Alan breaks it down.

May 27, 2025 Day One OTA Reaction | Steelers Afternoon Drive
Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers.
On today's episode, we discuss day one of Steelers' OTAs. What were Alan's takeaways from what he saw from the likes of Roman Wilson, Troy Fautanu, Will Howard, etc... Aaron Rodgers is yet to sign so he obviously wasn't in attendance but were any other absences noticeable. Should the team pivot to Kirk Cousins if Rodgers stiffs them? Could we see more 3 TE sets? Will the team acquire another WR before the season kicks off?

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the leadership of president Art Rooney II.
Rooney is a behind-the-scenes presence for the most part, letting general manager Omar Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin do most to the talking for the team, but he's still an integral part of the team's decision-making process.
So what kind of leader is Rooney for the Steelers organization? Alan breaks it down.
