Summary

February 20, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 96 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the recent passing of former Pittsburgh Steelers S Mike Wagner. We pay our respects to Wagner and discuss how underrated of a player he was for the Steelers during his career. Alex and I then go over the latest reports concerning the possible return of Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers for the 2026 season. We also discuss the possible paths the Steelers might take when it comes to the quarterback position for 2026 should Rodgers ultimately decide to not re-sign this offseason. Steelers HC Mike McCarthy did a Friday morning interview with a radio station in Green Bay, so Alex and I make sure to recap the notable things he had to say about Rodgers and the team's 2026 training camp. Is it plausible that the Steelers might select an offensive lineman in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft? Alex and I tackle that question and as part of that, we discuss Penn State G Olaivavega Ioane as a very plausible option for the Steelers at 21st overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. Alex and I discuss the possibility of the Steelers trading up in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft to select Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr. We also go over what we know so far about Alabama QB Ty Simpson on the heels of Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL Network discussing the quarterback during his Thursday conference call with the media. Jeremiah also had a few other notable answers to questions on Thursday that Alex and I quickly go over. Our Jeremiah Pike recently completed a study of wide receivers that McCarthy has drafted since being an NFL head coach and so Alex and I go over his findings. On the heels of Alex writing about Steelers ILB Payton Wilson this past week, we discuss his concerns and future heading into 2026, which will be his third NFL season. This 89-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap and we end thus show by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
