Hour 4: The guys wonder if Terry McLaurin could become a Steeler. Are we all really just living in a simulation? Jeff Hathhorn joins the guys to go through the Steelers rumor mill. Ron Cook once received a really gross piece of fan mail. Chris explains the proper way to kill bees.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. We recapped what has been regarded as an A+ Steelers draft. Jeff said he expects a WR to be added, but he isn’t sure when. Will the option be picked up for Najee Harris with the deadline looming tomorrow? Jeff said a decision on Cam Sutton will be made by Art Rooney and nobody else.

Aditi Kinkhabwala from the NFL on CBS joined the show. Aditi reacted to the report put out by Bryant McFadden the other day regarding the Steelers being in pursuit of a “significant playmaker.” Aditi reacted to the Steelers working in a new offense with Arthur Smith and how they have to look at things before fully diving in. Aditi thinks there are some really hard conversations going on in the facility when it comes down to the Najee Harris 5th year option, which is a decision due tomorrow at 4 pm. With everything on the table surrounding Cam Sutton, should the Steelers entertain the idea of bringing him back?
