Special guest Joey Mulinaro joins The Yinziders. We talk about his journey from sports radio obscurity to social media stardom, his process and his love of the Steelers. Plus, @jennaharner.bsky.social and I give our thoughts from rookie minicamp. 🔗 m.youtube.com/watch?v=5pKK...

For the second consecutive season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are headed overseas. www.nytimes.com/athletic/727...

Chris Boswell and the Steelers have agreed to terms on a four-year, $28 million extension, league source confirmed. One of the NFL's most consistent and clutch kickers is now tied as the highest-paid in NFL history, matching the deal Brandon Aubrey signed less than a month ago.

What we learned at rookie minicamp: • Developing Drew Allar starts from the ground up • Mike McCarthy’s hands-on style • Where the new O-linemen might fit • Eli Heidenreich’s role • And more www.nytimes.com/athletic/726...

Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers appear to be moving one step closer to a resolution. The QB is expected to visit Pittsburgh in the coming days, a league source confirmed to The Athletic. www.nytimes.com/athletic/726...

Did Omar Khan botch the Steelers’ first round? Is there anything that would convince the team to stop waiting for Aaron Rodgers? How much would a contract extension for Joey Porter Jr. cost? Your mailbag questions answered: www.nytimes.com/athletic/724...

Steelers 53-man roster projection includes some tough questions: • Who is the odd man out at QB? • How does the line come together — and will Broderick start the year on IR? • How many of the 10 picks make it? • Can Eli Heidenreich win a job? www.nytimes.com/athletic/723...

Let Drew Allar vs Will Howard begin. With two young QBs, the stage is set for a competition that will play out over years — and in a variety of forms. More than that, it’s the perfect measuring stick to evaluate Mike McCarthy, who made a bet on himself: www.nytimes.com/athletic/722...

As Day 2 begins for the Steelers, a pair of WRs who took pre-draft visits — Denzel Boston and Germie Bernard — still available. Other notable pre-draft visitors: SAF Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, DB Treydan Stukes and LB Jacob Rodriguez. Plus several highly regarded CBs. www.nytimes.com/athletic/722...
