About this listen

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabor of the Athletic.

The Pittsburgh Steelers only have Kenny Pickett on their roster when it comes to quarterbacks. So why does it look like they won't make a big splash at quarterback? Chris Carter and Mike DeFabo explain what they're hearing, including Mike's recent story for The Athletic with sources that show the reasoning why the Steelers aren't in on trading for Justin Fields, or signing Russell Wilson or Kirk Cousins.

Also, as trade speculation grows around Diontae Johnson's status with the Steelers, Chris and Mike explore if the thoughts behind trading Johnson are more about his contract situation, or if there's internal drama the team's trying to deal with.

Finally, as the NFL free agency pool grows, multiple positions continue to grow with options at cornerback, linebacker, wide receiver, center and other positions of need for the Steelers. Chris and Mike discuss reasonable options.
