00:00The next couple of months are absolutely pivotal for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:04Starting with NFL free agency this week, the team has some major holes to fill.
00:08If they want to contend in 2025.
00:11Today, we're going to make three bold predictions that if they come true, we'll
00:15have the Steelers back where they want to be next season.
00:21Hey everyone, Rob Gregson of ADZ Sports Pittsburgh.
00:24And today let's make three predictions of what you want to see from the
00:29Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency.
00:31Look, the discussion, it really starts and ends at quarterback.
00:35As of recording, there's still a lot of options.
00:38Of course, Russell Wilson or Justin Fields could be re-signed.
00:41Aaron Rodgers is on the market and so is Sam Darnold, as he is not expected
00:46to go back to the Minnesota Vikings.
00:48So what's going to happen?
00:49The Steelers are going to go all in.
00:51They're going to swing big and they're going to sign Sam
00:54Darnold to a multi-year contract.
00:57And I know that's going to get some pushback, but let's be real.
00:59Out of those four options that we just named, who's the one that's
01:03coming off a Pro Bowl season?
01:05Who is the one that had the best season of his career, led the team
01:08to a 14-3 record in Minnesota?
01:11That's right.
01:11It's Sam Darnold.
01:12Who's only 27 years old and can be a bridge quarterback at the
01:16very worst for two to three years.
01:18That's right.
01:19It's Sam Darnold.
01:20If the Steelers are going to contend, they need a viable quarterback
01:24option and Sam Darnold is the best of the rest.
01:27Sam Darnold, or whoever's that quarterback, has to have
01:30somebody to throw to.
01:31So the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to acquire a Pro Bowl wide receiver.
01:37That's our prediction.
01:39Whether that's a trade for DK Metcalf, the signing of Devontae
01:43Adams, or looking elsewhere, this team has to go all in on the perimeter
01:48position opposite of George Pickens.
01:51They just simply are not explosive enough, not dynamic enough, and those
01:55two names would help them go over the top in what they want to do.
02:00And lastly, expect the Steelers to go all in at corner.
02:05There are a lot of free agent names to watch, but one name that has surfaced
02:11recently is Jair Alexander, who at this point, the Packers are
02:16having a tough time trading.
02:17He might get cut outright.
02:20A two-time Pro Bowler at only 28 years old, that's great in-man coverage.
02:25He would make this Steelers secondary great again.
02:29And that's what they need at all three spots.
02:32Three big predictions.
02:33Let's see if the Steelers can get it done.
