The Terrible Podcast — Steelers Early URFA Re-signings, Crosby To Ravens, Legal Tampering Period Starting & More

March 9, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 103 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 reportedly re-signing two of their own unrestricted free agents in CB Asante Samuel Jr. and ILB Cole Holcomb. We go over the reported contract terms for each player and discuss if the Holcomb re-signing could result in ILB Malik Harrison being cut soon. It sounds like free agent CB James Pierre might have a healthy market should the Steelers not re-sign him by Wednesday afternoon, so we discuss that bit of news that came in on Sunday. The Baltimore Ravens are trading for former Las Vegas Raiders EDGE Maxx Crosby as of this weekend, so Alex and I discuss the compensation given and whether that was a good decision made by the AFC North team. The cornerback position group appears set to have a new APY leader by the middle of the week and with that expected to happen, Alex and I discuss what that will likely mean when it comes to an offseason contract extension for CB Joey Porter Jr. We go over Porter's perceived market value floor entering the start of the NFL league year. We also discuss the career earnings for Porter's father, Joey Porter Sr. The annual NFL free agent tampering period gets underway on Monday at noon and because of that, there's a lot of news to pass along related to several teams. We go over the headlines of trades and re-signings that we know about while this show was being recorded. Alex and I discuss whether the Steelers will ultimately restructure the contract of OLB T.J. Watt this offseason and the pros and cons related to that topic. We also discuss when a Watt restructuring will likely happen this offseason if it even happens at all. Alex and I close this episode out by going over several high-profile players around the NFL that we will be watching closely throughout the next few days when it comes to the legal NFLK free agent tampering period and beyond. This 54-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
