The Terrible Podcast — Talking Latest Ramsey, Smith Contract Info, Steelers Cap Situation, 90 In 30 Series Players & More

July 16, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 161 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to going over the latest contract information regarding two new members of the Pittsburgh Steelers, CB Jalen Ramsey and TE Jonnu Smith, based on the latest NFLPA salary cap update. We go over what the new salary cap hits for Ramsey and Smith are perceived to be set at currently for 2025 and how the uncertainty of the former's option bonus could still play into his amount before Week 1. Based on the latest NFLPA update, the Steelers are now $25,425,794 under the cap. We go over what that means and also talk a little bit about where the Steelers now seem to be at from a cash spending perspective for the 2025 season. Could the Steelers make a trade for Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin or San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings really work from a cash and cap perspective if they really wanted to acquire either player? Alex and I address that popular question that several fans seem to have right now. We also discuss the latest reports cornering both McLaurin and Jennings regarding whether either might ultimately be traded by their current team. Starring in the middle of this show, we pick up where we left off on Monday when it comes to reviewing players in my annual 90 In 30 series.
