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

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Mike's Beer Bar, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to tackle swirling trade rumors at the WR position. Could GM Omar Khan swing a trade for a No. 2 option across from George Pickens soon, as pundits including Bryant McFadden have suggested? Or might the process take longer to play out? Is Denver's Courtland Sutton a potentially cheaper option than Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, San Francisco 49ers standouts the Steelers have been connected to for weeks? And how do names including third-round pick Roman Wilson, former fourth-rounder Calvin Austin and free agent pickups Van Jefferson and Quez Watkins figure into the receiver conversation?

Our duo tackles those topics, then ponders whether Najee Harris could get a contract extension or see his fifth-year option exercised this week. Then Pirates insider Andrew Destin stops by to analyze Paul Skenes' latest strong start in the minors and his potential to join the club's rotation sooner or later amid profound struggles for the offense.
