The Terrible Podcast – OTA Media Session Recaps, Nowakowski Rookie Year Outlook, Salary Cap Update & More

May 29, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 142 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the several OTA media sessions that took place with members of Pittsburgh Steelers coaching staff and players since our last show. We start this show by recapping our main takeaways from the last several days of OTA sessions and we make sure to focus on several things that Steelers HC Mike McCarthy had to say during his press conference. Several of the offensive and defensive position group coaches talked to the media this past week so Alex and I recap all of the main talking points to come out of those. Those discussions result in us discussing several of the players and position groups that the coaches talked about. In short, there is quite a bit of talk about several different players on the roster throughout this show and too many to name by name. We also make sure to recap what several players had to say during their OTA media sessions over the course of the last few days during this podcast episode. Alex and I spend a little extras time talking about Steelers rookie TE Riley Nowakowski during this show and especially when it comes to his potential snap count and positional roles played throughout his first NFL season. While he's not the only young player discussed during this show, Nowakowski is the one we spend the most time talking about. The Steelers recently made several front office changes that Kozora learned of, so we make sure to recap all of those during this show. Later in this show, I provide a full recap of where the Steelers currently sit in relation to their salary cap situation. This 103-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we make sure to answer a few listener emails we have received to close out this show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
