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 think they can make Aaron Rodgers work in their offense where the New York Jets did not. But what kind of balance would that require from Mike Tomlin and Arthur Smith? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss what could be different, especially if the Steelers stick to the identity of a physical run game with their recent investments in the offensive line and pick of Kaleb Johnson.

Also, with the Green Bay Packers' decision to cut Jaire Alexander, should the Steelers consider a free agent addition of the former pro bowl cornerback? And with minicamp to begin today, could an end to the T.J. Watt contract extension saga be on the horizon?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' contract with Aaron Rodgers shows Omar Khan left a lot of salary cap space for the team to make free agent moves or a trade. Christopher Carter and Josh Taylor break down their options and why all signs point to a move for a wide receiver. But what kind of wide receiver should the Steelers target? And who would be reasonably available? From Terry McLaurin, Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, Gabe Davis to Allen Lazard, Chris and Josh explore the Steelers' options.

Also, can Rodgers make the Steelers a better contender in 2025? Chris and Josh don't see the Steelers as a Super Bowl threat, but potentially as a better team than they were in 2024.
