Summary

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by his partner at SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers had their top wide receiver last year Diontae Johnson finish tenth in receiving yards in the NFL. But where does he rank vs. other NFL WRs? As Johnson enters his contract year, is he worth a big payday? And with the changing landscape of the NFL salary cap, what even would be a big payday for an NFL wide receiver these days after players like A.J. Brown, Hunter Renfrow and Christian Kirk have already been paid big money? Also, a question posed from a listener asks what Mike Tomlin, Omar Khan and the Steelers would do if Mitch Trubisky becomes a stellar franchise quarterback? Would they move on from Kenny Pickett? Make way for the rookie? And would the first round pick have been a waste?
