Steelers trade rumors: Would Brandon Aiyuk deal amount to A+ NFL free agency period for Omar Khan?

North Shore Drive podcast - Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more

In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to discuss trade rumors surrounding Brandon Aiyuk joining the Steelers in a sign-and-trade deal. Post-Gazette insider Gerry Dulace reporters there's "a chance" the move could happen. If it does, would it earn GM Omar Khan an A+ grade for his work in NFL free agency and the trade market? What if he acquired other rumored names including Deebo Samuel and Justin Jefferson? How should draft options including Brian Thomas Jr., Adonai Mitchell and Xavier Worthy impact Khan's decision making at the position? And what other moves should Khan consider making before the draft.

Our duo tackles those topics as well as Kenny Pickett's exit amid moves for Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Has all of the criticism of Pickett been fair? Or have some begun to pile on and make it too personal on the way out? Then later, Adam and Paul get into Pitt's NCAA snub. Does coach Jeff Capel deserve more criticism for the poor out-of-conference schedule that cost his team? And does his decision to kill the City Game rivalry with Duquesne reflect poorly in that context?
