The Terrible Podcast - Contract Extension Details, Salary Cap Update, Sorsby Eligibility News & More

June 8, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 147 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers as they get ready for their final week of offseason practices. The Steelers recently signed OLB Nick Herbig and TE Darnell Washington to lucrative contract extensions, so on the heels of the two deals, Alex and I go over the finer details of both. We discuss the fully guaranteed money included in both deals, the injury guaranteed amounts, the cash flows, and the new 2026 salary cap charges for each player. Alex and I also quickly go over the new one-year contracts that TE Robert Tonyan and LB Jamin Davis each signed last week and how neither impacted the Steelers’ salary cap situation. With the recent fleury of contract news, Alex and I go over where the Steelers now sit when it comes to their 2026 salary cap status. We discuss current salary cap space and what awaits the team when it comes to future costs later in the offseason. Alex and I discuss the latest news on college QB Brendan Sorsby when it comes to his potential 2026 playing eligibility. Alex recently wrote about what statistical areas that the Steelers must improve in this coming season, so we go over those three in addition to adding a fourth one while discussing the topic. This 70-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.
