Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers added a new safety in DeShon Elliott as a free agent. He's not a turnover merchant, but he could be the role playing safety that helps Minkah Fitzpatrick get back to being an X-factor player for the Steelers' defense. Chris explains what Elliott's role could be, based off his time with the Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens. Could he fill Terrell Edmunds role? On top of that, Chris takes a look at the new construction of the Steelers' defense, including new cornerback Donte Jackson acquired via trade and the current stars like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Joey Porter Jr. and Fitzpatrick.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV.

The Pittsburgh Steelers had Russell Wilson had an extensive meeting together Friday, but is the nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback the right fit with Mike Tomlin and Arthur Smith? Chris Carter and Jenna Harner explore the pros and cons of Wilson's skills and how they'd fit the future of the Steelers' offense with the developing offensive line, new offensive coordinator, and the direction the team's headed with Najee Harris, Pat Freiermuth and George Pickens.

Also, with free agency looming, what will be Omar Khan's approach to signing key veterans to the team? Will he go for a big splash player? Or will he stick to signing steady veterans across the board with the team's available cap space?

Finally, it's Mock Draft Monday, which means Chris and Jenna reveal which fan submitted the winning Steelers mock draft picks this week.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mark Kaboly of the Athletic.

The Pittsburgh Steelers made huge moves Tuesday. First, GM Omar Khan signed former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen to a big 3-year deal. Then, Diontae Johnson was traded to the Carolina Panthers. What's the big plan? Who's Donte Jackson, the Panthers cornerback the Steelers got in return? Chris Carter explores both moves on this episode of Locked on Steelers, and what it means moving forward for the Steelers' roster plans. What's Khan's overall plan now with two major moves this early in free agency?

Mark Kaboly of the Athletic joins to talk about the Queen signing and other potential moves. Editor's note: Chris recorded with Mark before the Johnson trade, and as such, their segments will not have commentary on it. However, Chris opens the show by himself talking about the move, and then edits in his conversation with Mark. Please pardon our dust as we do our best to provide a strong show with all the quick changes.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' trade sending Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers opens an obvious need for a highly talented wide receiver. Does that mean Omar Khan would draft a receiver in the first round of the NFL Draft? Chris Carter dives in on an early look at free agency options like Mike Williams or Michael Thomas, as well as the NFL Draft prospects who would make the most sense. But, with Arthur Smith's new offense, will wide receiver be as big a premium of a position of importance as it has been in past years?

The Steelers don't have a star quarterback right now and will be running the ball more. But receivers like Ladd McConkey, Adonai Mitchell and Roman Wilson would make for interesting additions to the roster.

Also, Chris discusses what the new cornerback plan might be after the addition of Donte Jackson as a partner for Joey Porter Jr. Will the Steelers still look at drafting a cornerback in the first round?

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV and 93.7 the Fan.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are interested in Russell Wilson at quarterback, and are set for him to visit. But will they sign him? And is he the right fit? Chris Carter and Josh Taylor analyze and discuss the pros and cons of such an option. Would signing Wilson automatically make him QB1 over Kenny Pickett?

Also, as the free agency pool grows, safety has become a position with several options. The Steelers could use safety help after releasing Keeanu Neal and a year where Minkah Fitzpatrick couldn't play his natural role because of the talent around him. Chris and Josh explore why some of the top options, like Justin Simmons, Julian Blackmon, and Jordan Whitehead.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, with an emergency episode.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed Russell Wilson to a cheap 1-year deal that brings the nine-time Pro Bowl and Super Bowl champion quarterback to compete against Kenny Pickett for starting quarterback. The Steelers get the benefit of a cheap contract thanks to the Denver Broncos still owing Wilson $39 million in dead cap money, and now the Steelers' offense has a new face.

Chris Carter gives his reaction and analysis of the move in this emergency episode.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' signing Russell Wilson was a big move at quarterback with low cost on a friendly contract. But will he bring distractions from his past? Legitimate questions about his time with the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos suggest he could be a divisive character in the Steelers locker room. But Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com says he's spoken to members of both organizations who suggest that won't be an issue. He talks with Chris Carter about that situation.

Also, what free agency moves across the NFL have changed the landscape of targets for the Steelers to sign?

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be looking at several positions at the NFL Scouting Combine, but who are the top interests at linebacker and defensive line? Chris Carter goes over some of the big names in both groups he's most interested in talking with at the combine, and goes over why linebacker could be more important than some estimate. Payton Wilson, Edgerrin Cooper, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Jer'Zahn Newton, Byron Murphy II, T'Vondre Sweat are all targets to consider, but who is the best fit for the Steelers' defensive plans in the early rounds of the NFL Draft?
