February 26, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 94 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday show, Alex Kozora and I jump right into the recent news concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers releasing OC Mason Cole on Friday. We go over that transaction in its totality, the amount of salary cap space saved, the impact on free agency and the draft this year, and more. The NFL announced the official 2024 salary cap amount on Friday and that increase over 2023 was much greater than originally expected. We go over that Friday cap news and what it means for the 2024 Steelers in relation to current salary cap space. The Steelers also now have two of their exclusive rights free agents, OT Dylan Cook and OLB Jeremiah Moon, both under contract. We discuss that news during this show. Alex and I look ahead at what the Steelers total 2024 cash spending might ultimately be and the impact that might have in free agency signings this year. Will Steelers veteran CB Patrick Peterson stick on the roster through the start of the 2024 league year? Alex and I discuss his current situation along with a few recent comments that he has made. Alex and I then discuss a little bit of pre–NFL Scouting Combine news on this Monday and the impact it could have down the road on future combines and pro days. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 108-minute episode and we end it by answering several questions that we received from listeners of the show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
