The Terrible Podcast — Talking Steelers' News, Tush Push Talk, Rooney On Rodgers, Cap Update, Cash Spending & More

May 23, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 137 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the latest news concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers and that includes the team signing rookie DT Derrick Harmon, the team's first round draft selection this year, to his rookie contract. Alex and I discuss the Steelers signing G Nick Broeker this week and the signing bonuses the team gave to their 10 undrafted free agents as well. Steelers president Art Rooney II recently made a small comment about the team waiting a little longer to get a decision from veteran free agent QB Aaron Rodgers, so we make sure to parse that. We also discuss a little quote from Rodgers during a recent long interview he had with Joe Rogan. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay passed away a few days ago so we pay our respects to him during this show. The Tush Push is now staying around for at least one more season, so Alex and I discuss that news and the league's recent vote on possibly banning it. We discuss how that play impacts the Steelers moving forward into 2025 and if they should practice it and utilize it more. With Harmon now signed, I pass along a Steelers 2025 salary update and what it might mean for the team moving forward into the offseason. Alex and I also have an extraordinarily long discussion about where the Steelers now sit currently from a cash spending perspective for 2025. We talk about how the team should be expected to spend around $40 million more in cash this offseason and why. Alex and I also talk about how the Steelers have drafted as of late and the impact that has on their cash spending for this three-year phase, which ends in 2026. This 117-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap. We end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners of the show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
