On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko analyze the reasons the team has not yet reached a deal with Russell Wilson, Justin Fields or both as the NFL free agency legal tampering period looms next week.
Are GM Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin playing hard ball with Fields? Or is he waiting to test his value on the open market? What does it all mean for Wilson's future here or elsewhere? And is there still a chance the Steelers end up with outside options including Aaron Rodgers, Daniel Jones or Sam Darnold?
Our duo tackles those questions, then wonders whether the Steelers may have missed out on making a deal for receiver Christian Kirk and sizes up top possible targets on the free agent market. Why are names including CBs Carlton Davis, Charvarius Ward, D.J. Reed, Asante Samuel Jr., Byron Murphy as well as DTs Javon Hargrave, Tershawn Wharton and Milton Williams among the biggest to watch in the coming days?
