Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' second round pick Joey Porter Jr. hasn't signed his rookie contract yet, and some may think that's a big deal. But Chris Carter sees it as a non-issue. Why? Partly because several rookies also haven't signed their deals, and this usually happens ever year, and is forgotten once rookies sign their contracts without a holdout. Chris also takes a call from a listener about the sack and interception totals to expect from the Steelers. The pairing of T.J. Watt and an experienced Alex Highsmith could make for a record-setting season in sack production and pass rushing. The same could be said for the secondary with Minkah Fitzpatrick and Patrick Peterson leading the way when it comes to interceptions.
