Episode Notes

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabo of the Athletic.

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't committed to a quarterback plan, but Aaron Rodgers might've tipped their hand with his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. Christopher Carter and Mike DeFabo discuss what Rodgers said about Omar Khan, Mike McCarthy and how the new coaching staff appeals to him. With his "it takes two to tango" comment, could he have shown that he's ready to return to the Steelers and all the power lies with Khan and the front office? Also, the Steelers cut Jonnu Smith, saving $7 million in salary cap space. Chris and Mike discuss what that does for Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and their offensive plan around their tight ends. Could this move make it so that Freiermuth is finally a true feature in the offense? Finally, the Chiefs' trade that got a first round pick from the Rams for Trent McDuffie shows how much teams are willing to move before free agency. Will the Steelers be in the trade market to buy or sell?
