The Terrible Podcast — Talking Steelers' Interests In Kupp, Wilson Rift With Smith Report, Shrine Bowl Roundtable & More

February 5, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 88 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers possibly trading for Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp this offseason now that it's know that he is on the market. We discuss whether Kupp fits with the Steelers, what Pittsburgh might be willing to give up for him, the contract issue, and if a trade is even worth pursuing. On Tuesday, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that Steelers OC Arthur Smith did not want QB Russell Wilson changing plays at the line of scrimmage during the latter portion of the 2024 regular season and how that supposedly caused some friction between the two. Alex and I thoroughly discuss Dulac's report and how more context certainly seems to be needed to speculate deeper on the supposed rift and if the two would be able to, or want to, work together moving forward should Wilson be re-signed this offseason. Alex released his first 2025 mock draft for the Steelers this week, so we quickly go over each of his selections later in this show. With our SD crew now back from the 2025 Shrine Bowl in Texas, Alex and I conduct a roundtable discussion with Joe Clark, Josh Carney, Melanie Friedlander, and Steven Pavelka. We discuss several players that took part in the annual Shrine Bowl and cover several position groups as part of the discussion. We discuss Shrine Bowl players that fit the Steelers and much more.
