Steelers GM Kevin Colbert: Stephon Tuitt 'Absolutely' Returns in 2022, QB Starters in NFL Draft: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Tony Serino of AFC North Talk. Pittsburgh Steelers GM Kevin Colbert spoke at the NFL Scouting Combine and talked about Stephon Tuitt's potential return as if it was a done deal and that after missing the 2020 season, the Steelers are excited to have him back. What would Tuitt's return to team up with Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith do for the Steelers' 2022 defense? Also, Tony takes a victory lap (sort of) about Mitchell Trubisky being considered by the Steelers in free agency, and Colbert dished more on how this NFL Draft has a quarterbacks class with multiple starters. Does that lock the Steelers into picking Malik Willis or Kenny Pickett in the first round? Finally, Colbert also spoke about the team needing to see more from Kevin Dotson and Zach Banner.

Steelers Out on Tyrann Mathieu? Why Terrell Edmunds Might Still Be Answer / Desmond Ridder Talk: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast and is joined by Noah Strackbein of Sports Illustrated. Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert spoke at NFL Owners meetings and revealed more insight on the Steelers free agency plans, including at strong safety. Part of that insight indicates Tyrann Mathieu might not be in the Steelers' free agent plans at all, and the real target might just be to bring back Terrell Edmunds, but there's still also a chance at the hard-hitting Cowboys safety Damontae Kazee. Also, Desmond Ridder continues to rise up the draft boards, but is he worth the Steelers taking him at 20th overall? And how hard should the Steelers go at wide receiver in this draft class? Players like Skyy Moore and Jahan Dotson look like solid day 2 picks to help Mitch Trubisky.

Dueling Mock Drafts: Picking Wide Receivers for the Pittsburgh Steelers for Every Round of NFL Draft: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers Podcast and is joined by Wes Uhler of Steeler Nation Radio. The Pittsburgh Steelers need to add multiple wide receivers to their roster before the 2022 season begins. We take a look at all the receivers in the NFL Draft and give you dueling mock drafts that pick a wide receiver in each round to see what kind of players Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert could add. Do they go with first round options like Jameson Williams, Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Drake London or Treylon Burkes? If that doesn't work, we look at later potential picks like George Pickens, Christian Watson, Skyy Moore, David Bell, Justyn Ross and plenty more who could fill team needs as a speed threats, slot threats, kick and punt returners, and the best hands of the class.

Sources from different reporters on the Pittsburgh Steelers disagree on when Minkah Fitzpatrick's deal will get done, but the question isn't about when Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin sign Fitzpatrick; it's about how much he gets paid when it happens. He may become the top paid safety in the NFL, but that could have been the Steelers' plan all along after signing T.J. Watt to his deal. Meanwhile, Tyrann Mathieu's visit with the New Orleans Saints appears to mean he's still looking for a team and the Steelers are still in play.

How New Steelers Offensive Line Coach Fits with Najee Harris and Matt Canada's Heavy Zone Run Scheme: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is host of the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers hired new offensive line coach Pat Meyer, but how does he mesh with Matt Canada and the plan for Najee Harris with Mike Tomlin's vision? A lot of that will depend on how well Meyer can coach the Steelers' offensive line to fit the zone run schemes Canada has liked to call, as well as whether Meyer will get major additions to an offensive line that mostly depends on Kevin Dotson, Kendrick Green and Dan Moore Jr. Is Meyer a good hire? Nobody will know until we see a body of work, but that's just the point. Stop buying into narratives that already have decided how good/bad Meyer is for the Steelers and look at the details and who he's worked with over his nine years coaching in the NFL.

A rumor suggests the Pittsburgh Steelers could have a draft day deal in place with the Minnesota Vikings to move up to the 12th overall pick of the NFL Draft. But how much would it cost? And who could they target with it? According to Chris and Locked on Vikings host Luke Braun, it would only cost this year's first round pick, a 2022 3rd round, and a 2023 3rd round. If that happens, Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton, LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., Mississippi State offensive tackle Charles Cross and Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis could all be in play for Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin to add a star player to the roster that previously was thought to be out of reach.

Mason Rudolph and Dwayne Haskins spoke Wednesday with Pittsburgh Steelers media about the prospect of playing next year for the Steelers and earning the starting quarterback role. But both have a lot to prove before that ever becomes reality. Who replaces Ben Roethlisberger will most likely be a draft pick or a free agent in the near future, but it's clear Mike Tomlin wants his quarterback of the future to be mobile and have the ability to extend plays. What's the best plan to find the best Steelers quarterback for 2022 without blowing up the team's rebuilding plans?

Rumors around Diontae Johnson's potential contract extension continue to swirl, and the Pittsburgh Steelers may have a tough decision on their hands while voluntary team workouts begin. But are those rumors true? Johnson made some cryptic tweets about his situation that left Steelers fans wondering if he might want a major payday with his next contract. He's rumored to want $22 million/year, but such a contract wouldn't be as costly as some might think with the rapidly rising NFL salary cap, and might actually be a reasonable price for a team's top receiver.

Statistics and past success on different types of rosters between those quarterbacks provides a closer look at the Steelers' options. Also, should the Steelers commit to getting a quarterback in the first round of the NFL Draft?

His numbers improved and his drop rate diminished in 2021, but the Steelers have a tough decision about extending him vs. looking for their WR1 elsewhere. With only Chase Claypool on the roster as a younger wide receiver, Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin must look to either free agency or the NFL Draft to replenish the wide receiver position.

Steelers Draft Day Scenarios: Trading Back w/Teams Like Chiefs/Packers to Double-Up on Top 40 Picks: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have positioned themselves to have several paths on Draft Day, and one could be to trade back. But they should only do so to maximize getting multiple top 40 or top 50 picks in a class that has plenty of talent that fits their needs in the early rounds. The Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers could be two desperate teams for such a trade. Doing so would allow the Steelers to potentially address two different positions with potential starters like safeties Lewis Cine, Daxton Hill and Jaquan Brisker, while also getting receivers like George Pickens, Skyy Moore, Treylon Burks, or defensive linemen like Travis Jones, Perrion Winfrey, Devonte Wyatt or DeMarvin Leal.
