93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. What did Jeff make of the Aaron Rodgers interview today with McAfee’s guys? Jeff still believes the Steelers choice is to have Rodgers be their starting QB next season. Could money be a hold up here? Jeff doesn’t get the feel that Malik Willis has a lot of smoke around him from the Steelers. Jeff said the focus from the team may be on 2027, but then what about Will Howard? Jeff recapped his week at the NFL Combine. He said Mike McCarthy loves QBs the way Jon Gruden does and every rookie prospect is going to have high praise after their meetings. Jeff doesn’t see the Steelers going QB in the 1st round and could be counting on Ty Simpson slipping. Jeff expects Kenneth Gainwell to test the market and Isaac Seumalo to be gone once the legal tampering begins at noon on Monday. How are the Steelers going to attack WR? Jeff thinks CB could be an early selection in the draft.

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi went back to what she said a month ago – a small chance that Aaron Rodgers comes back in 2026. Aditi thinks it may have been a call for Rodgers telling the Steelers to come get him and that he may not be the one in charge this time around. She said he spoke so highly of the team and coaches, but made sure to note that he doesn’t have a deal on the table. Aditi spoke to members from a coaching staff today that are interested in Rodgers’ services. Aditi doesn’t think they have anything to lose if they go the Will Howard route. Aditi wondered if the Steelers will just hit the reset button and go with Howard. Aditi couldn’t confidently answer if Rodgers will play – or play somewhere that isn’t Pittsburgh. The guys ran through some WR that got freshly cut or could be available when we enter the new league year. Aditi doesn’t think the price will be as high for Kenneth Gainwell as we may think just because of the market for RB.

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike reacted to the Aaron Rodgers chat with Pat McAfee today. Mike doesn’t believe for a second that Rodgers will disappear from the screen when he’s done playing. Mike thinks the Steelers will miss out on the first wave of free agents as they wait around for Rodgers. Is it even a sure thing that Aaron will play? Mike pointed out that Rodgers’ old buddy Nate Hackett is coaching in Arizona and the Cardinals don’t have a QB1. Mike said Steelers fans have reason to question how 2026 could be better than 2025. How many other teams around the league will be interested in Rodgers? What do the markets look like for Malik Willis or Kyler Murray as we approach free agency? Will Murray be willing to be a backup somewhere that is more attractive than Pittsburgh? The guys asked Mike about a few different free agent WR with legal tampering opening up on Monday. Mike highlighted Alec Pierce as someone that can create explosive plays from anywhere. Are the Steelers about to lose their MVP from last season?

Chris is fired up about Aaron Rodgers playing a game of grab ass with Pat McAfee – telling the world a whole lot of nothing. Oh, he’s upset about paparazzi following him around and questioning his marriage. The guys don’t want to see the Steelers wait around all summer for this guy.

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. On the heels of the Aaron Rodgers interview, TK said confidently that Sidney Crosby will play hockey into his 40s. Tyler thinks the waiting game Kyle Dubas will play with Evgeni Malkin and his contract is the smart move to focus on the rest of this season. With the trade deadline looming, is Dubas going to stand pat? TK thinks there will be moves to improve the team, but isn’t sure if it will be a sizable acquisition like Vincent Trocheck. TK thinks Trocheck could be swayed into the hometown thing and playing for the team he grew up watching.

PM Team FULL Show 3-3-26

March doesn’t feel as fun when Pitt basketball is at such a low point. The Panthers are at risk of missing the ACC tournament, which only requires you to be a top 15 team in the conference. The women’s coach just fired its coach, which looks like another bad hire made by Heather Lyke. How did all of these coaches get such good job security? Somehow Lyke is continuing to get and be up for jobs in sports.

Robert Morris men’s basketball coach Andy Toole joined the show. Andy’s Colonials are the 2-seed in their conference tournament, which begins tomorrow night. Poni has bet on them to get back to the big dance. Andy mentioned that tomorrow night is free beer night at the arena – for everyone’s first drink. Andy talked about what is working this season. Andy got into the pace of the Horizon League and how his team has adjusted as the season has progressed. Andy told the guys about a few players that helped form this year’s team, after losing a ton of players from the team that made it to the NCAA Tournament in 2025. Andy talked about picking his spots with hard coaching since players can up & leave the moment they get their feelings hurt. The guys asked Andy about working with his team in-game as it differs each year in this era of college athletics. Andy is hip to one of the fastest rising social media pages highlighting former college hoopers.

BREAKING NEWS: The Cardinals are officially releasing Kyler Murray. With free agency starting Monday, Murray will be an option and it could be for the veteran minimum. Is Murray a real option for the Steelers? We have heard that Mike McCarthy may be interested in the former 1st overall pick. Murray’s on-field focus has been in question for years, going back to the video game clause that was placed in his second contract with the Cardinals. After watching the Seahawks win a Super Bowl with Sam Darnold, does that pique the interest more in Murray? It feels like a good ‘buy low’ move. How many other teams will be in on Murray?

NFL Draft analyst Ryan Wilson from CBS Sports joined the show. Ryan said Kyler Murray was a slam-dunk 1st overall pick in his year, even with some limitations. He said Murray is worth a vet minimum deal if that can be had. Ryan said he doesn’t remember hearing about the video game stuff with Murray when he was coming out of college – a lot of the focus was on his height and him playing baseball. Ryan said Carson Beck will be a 2nd or 3rd round pick after his performance at the NFL Combine. Ryan doesn’t think any QB really hurt their stock last week in Indy. How did we get a much bigger hand measurement from Garrett Nussmeier last week? Ryan thinks the Makai Lemon interviews are being misconstrued from the combine, which may be red flags to some teams. The guys asked Ryan about the news of Caleb Downs having a torn meniscus on his report from the combine. Ryan sees Jordyn Tyson as a late 1st round type player, so he should be on the board for the Steelers. What’s the story on Gennings Dunker, who turned heads at the combine due to his flowing red mullet? Ryan said the Steelers should have a Penn State OL on their board at 21. Ryan told the guys he got zero buzz of Ty Simpson to the Steelers. Ryan has Eli Heidenreich as a Day 3 pick as a player that can play all over the place on offense.

Donny Football Debrief – With the Colts tagging Daniel Jones, it looks like Alec Pierce will be hitting the open market.

How much longer are we going to wait around for Aaron Rodgers? Do the Steelers have a deadline on it? Poni’s moles indicated that the Steelers would know yesterday about Rodgers, but if they do, the secret has survived 24+ hours. With legal tampering starting on Monday, how much longer can the team afford to wait? Last year, the Steelers bowed down and waited around for Rodgers to make his decision, but how much of that had to do with Mike Tomlin? The guys wondered if the Kenneth Gainwell situation is a tell as to where the Steelers are with Rodgers. Is anyone out there pounding the table for Rodgers? It feels like it’s more of an acceptance than actually wanting Rodgers back.

Daniel Jones just got tagged for $37M by the Colts. Does that make people feel better about Aaron Rodgers? People just love a bargain.

Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt talked about the challenge players may have going from Spring Training to the World Baseball Classic, back to spring games then the regular season. He said the schedule can be wonky for someone like Paul Skenes, who is pitching for Team USA. The guys pointed out some pitch limits for guys in the WBC. Matt doesn’t think Skenes will go close to a 95-pitch limit in a game with the US. Matt thinks a deal happening could be the difference between Konnor Griffin being on the Opening Day roster and not – no deal likely means he will start in Triple A. The guys asked Matt about meeting Tony Gwynn and a loaded Padres team that was fresh off a World Series appearance. Matt said he was in awe of pretty much everything during his first spring. Matt talked about Gwynn’s masterful work at the plate and how he could have hit more home runs if he really wanted to. Matt was surprised to find out he never gave up a HR to Ken Griffey Jr. Matt had some funny stories about facing Barry Bonds early in his MLB career. We looked through some other funny Matt stats from his playing days.
