  • Do the Steelers Have a Shot at Signing Tee Higgins? | Steelers Morning Rush

    Do the Steelers Have a Shot at Signing Tee Higgins? | Steelers Morning Rush
    Jan 23 2025
    Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today's it's whether the Steelers have an actual chance of signing Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins as a free agent. Higgins played the 2024 season under the franchise tag after his contract expired in 2023, but that doesn't mean that Higgins will be free to hit the free agent market this offseason. The Bengals have the ability to tag him again, even if they don't intent to sign him for 2025. That gives the Bengals some control over the process, and possibly as much as two first-round draft picks in compensation. Cincinnati can also use the tag to make sure that Higgins doesn't end up with one of their AFC North rivals like the Steelers, Baltimore Ravens or Cleveland Browns.

    How to Fix the Steelers Coaching Staff? | Steelers Morning Rush
    Jan 21 2025
    Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today's it's the Steelers coaching staff, which has made no changes despite the disastrous end to the 2024 season, and why it's not going to be that easy for head coach Mike Tomlin to successfully replace members of his coaching staff. The Steelers have one of the smallest coaching staffs in the league, and it puts that much more pressure on each member of the staff to be one of the best in the league. They would probably benefit from adding to the league's smallest staff. Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
