On today's episode, we discuss the way the Steelers historically handle negotiations and the way it could be impacting getting business done with Joey Porter Jr., why a longer-term deal is tough to navigate, why player for player trades are so rare, how the gameday inactive list works and if there should be a preference in facing Tua or Michael Penix Jr. in the season opener.

Alan Saunders & Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the reporting coming out of NFL Network on Monday evening surrounding the ongoing contract negotiations between the Steelers and Joey Porter Jr., which head coach Mike McCarthy said on Monday are at an "impasse." But is the lack of a formal offer from the Steelers the thing that is holding up progress, as is being suggested? Alan breaks it down: Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Alan Saunders & Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the play of Steelers rookie wide receiver and kick returner Kaden Wetjen, which drew fairly harsh criticism from head coach Mike McCarthy, and that was before he fumbled the football against the New York Jets in Week 2 of the preseason and the team brought in a veteran kick returner for a tryout on Sunday. So is Wetjen really on the chopping block? Alan breaks it down: Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the two interceptions thrown by Steelers quarterback Will Howard in Friday night's 17-0 loss to the New York Jets.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Would the Steelers really consider trading Joey Porter Jr? Contract talks between the team and the star cornerback have been going nowhere, but a recent report that suggests other NFL teams are circling for the homegrown defensive back seems far-fetched.

Alan Saunders & Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss who we think can still win jobs on the 53-man roster during the preseason.

We also discuss the idea of the team moving training camp at some point and our concern level over the lost reps of DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey and Joey Porter Jr. Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this!

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's Steelers first-round draft pick Max Iheanachor, and his strengths and weaknesses as they're being reveled early in training camp. Iheanachor didn't necessarily dominate his first time through 1 on 1 pass-rush drills on Monday, but his specific combination of skills, including excellent footwork but very questionable hand placement, might give him a longer leash than most rookies might get.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the unexpected performance of backup cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., who has been the best player on the field for the Steelers through two days of training camp at St. Vincent College. Samuel has taken full advantage of the opportunity provided by the injuries to Joey Porter Jr. and Jalen Ramsey, and his play so far, combined with his pedigree suggests he's a player that deserves a bigger role than backup cornerback.
