The Terrible Podcast – Savage Signing, Tryout Players, Porter Jr. Contract, Watt-Highsmith Trade Plausibility & More

Season 16, Episode 145 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers finally signing free agent S Darnell Savage to a one-year contract on Tuesday. We also discuss the player waived to make room for Savage on the roster.

The Steelers had five players in for tryouts on Tuesday, so Alex and I go over that list of players, which is headlined by TE Robert Tonyan and ILB Jamin Davis.

The Cleveland Browns traded DE Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, so Alex and I both chime in on what that deal included and now means for both teams as well as the Steelers.

Alex and I then talk a little bit more about the Steelers and OLB Nick Herbig agreeing to a four-year, $100 million contract extension on Tuesday. We discuss how the onus is now on the Steelers to find a way to get Herbig on the field more in 2026, even if it is part of a three-outside linebacker package with T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith.

With the Herbig extension now just needing his signature, Alex and I address the plausibility and probability of the Steelers trading one of Watt or Highsmith. We discuss the highest possible draft pick compensation for either player as part of any trade and if either of us would consider such a deal.

The Steelers now seem poised to sign CB Joey Porter Jr. to a contract extension on the heels of Herbig getting done, so Alex and I speculate what a new deal might ultimately look like for him. We also discuss the possibility of Porter receiving fully guaranteed money beyond 2026 should he indeed sign a contract extension this offseason.

This 87-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.
