Steelers NFL free agency: Should Davante Adams, Darius Slay be targets? Or is age an issue?

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to react to two new big-name NFL free agency options hitting the open market this week.

Should GM Oma Khan and coach Mike Tomlin consider bringing in WR Davante Adams, who was cut by the New York Jets, or CB Darius Slay, cut by the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles? Or is age becoming an issue for those guys as it was for Patrick Peterson when the Steelers signed him a few years back? Are there any older free agents the Steelers should consider, such as former defensive lineman Javon Hargrave? Or is it more important to invest big dollars in younger players, such as Milton Williams, at positions of need?

In the second segment, Ray breaks down his second NFL mock draft of the evaluation period. Why does he like Oregon's Derrick Harmon as a potential first-round pick? Could the Steelers double dip for a defensive lineman and take Alfred Collins of Texas in Round 2? Could Jaylin Noel make a meaningful impact at WR in Round 3? And why are Ohio State QB Will Howard, SMU RB Brashard Smith, Penn State S Jaylen Reed and Iowa CB Jermari Harris on his radar as Day 3 picks?

Then in the third segment, our duo reacts to the latest news in the running back market. How will Saquon Barkley's extension with the Eagles impact deals for players further down the pecking order? And could it price Najee Harris out of a return to Pittsburgh? Or should the Steelers be looking at draft options like Omarion Hampton and Quinshon Judkins?
