Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers begin OTAs next week and Christopher Carter thinks there are legitimate signs that Aaron Rodgers could sign with the team soon. But if he does, what must Rodgers accomplish in his early days with the team before training camp in establishing a rapport with D.K. Metcalf, Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin and company.

Also, Chris takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line, including on Arthur Smith and how much of a leash he has this season, what his connection might be with Rodgers, and what could be holding up a WR2 trade.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' current roster plan is to build from the trenches out, mimicking the Philadelphia Eagles. Christopher Carter answers a fan question on whether that's the right plan, and if the Steelers are wrong for not trying to forge their own unique identity of a team.

Also, Chris answers more of your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line about whether the Steelers should move on from offensive line coach Pat Meyer, whether they should've invested more at guard in the offseason, and how the AFC North drafts of other teams might impact the Steelers.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers 2023 NFL Draft class of Broderick Jones, Joey Porter Jr., Keeanu Benton and others have a big test in 2025. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss the specific challenges for the top three players of that draft class and why it's vital to Omar Khan's plans for the roster for them to manifest next season.

Also, Chris and Nick answer a question on whether Will Howard's leadership could be an underrated value that he brings to the Steelers' quarterbacks and offense, and a look at why the Steelers' schedule could have more disadvantages than people realized.
