PM Team FULL Show 5-27-25

What did Mason Rudolph say to the media on the first day of OTAs? We heard from Cam Heyward as well.

ESPN NFL insider Brooke Pryor joined the show. Brooke said Aaron Rodgers doesn’t want to be around for things that aren’t mandatory and labeled him as a ‘wild card.’ Brooke doesn’t have the sense that Rodgers wants to play for someone else – she said the expectation is that he will be the Steelers QB, but that could show some cracks if we get later into the summer. Brooke doesn’t think the Kirk Cousins scenario would take place until training camp, if it ever does. Brooke said it feels like a game of chicken with Rodgers as we venture close to June. Brooke said the Joe Rogan podcast is not part of her Spotify playlist. Is there a reason we should be buying stock in Roman Wilson in 2025? Brooke thinks Broderick Jones is a Top 5 most important Steeler going into the season. Brooke said she won’t raise any red flags on the TJ Watt situation until we get to training camp if a deal is still not done.

Name Game.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg shouted out Hannah Mears and the job she did on the coverage of Braxton Ashcraft last night when he made his debut. How has this team been different under Don Kelly so far? Greg reacted to the Pirates being shut out for the ninth time already this season. Will the Pirates ever get power out of Ke’Bryan Hayes? Greg brought up a few guys that have disappointed at the plate this season. Greg highlighted the play of Oneil Cruz, both at the plate and in the field. The guys brought up the old idea of Paul Skenes hitting if this offense continues to struggle. Greg talked about the lineup and how it has had more consistency.

Intern Dom went at Pomp yesterday after being trapped by Joe in a conversation about golf. What do prices look like for the Steelers home schedule?

Was there a QB move the Steelers should have made instead of waiting around for Aaron Rodgers? The list of QB transactions this offseason was underwhelming to say the least. The guys think Justin Fields coming back would have been the most logical move.

Should there be any expectations for Roman Wilson this season? What did receivers not named George Pickens do last year for the Steelers? How BAD was the Steelers offseason, according to ESPN?

Bucco Auction House – Round 8.

The Steelers have wrapped up the first day of OTAs and Aaron Rodgers was nowhere to be found. He hasn’t signed with the team, so why expect him to be there? Is it a big deal that Rodgers hasn’t signed yet? When will the Steelers finally hold his feet to the fire? Who is to blame over this?

TJ Watt was also a no-show at OTAs. Did anyone out there watch Aaron Rodgers on the Joe Rogan podcast?

Pirates insider Noah Hiles from the PG joined the show. Noah gave Ben Cherington a 50/50 shot of being back in 2026. If the team has a winning record in their remaining 100+ games, he thinks there is a real chance Cherington comes back. How will the team handle things at the trade deadline? Noah said Mitch Keller would be the biggest name that ‘could’ be on the move by late July. Noah’s bold prediction is that Spencer Horwitz finishes second on the team in HRs.
