00:00the final day of june featured a big trade around the national football league but a big deal

00:05maybe in terms of notoriety how big of a deal is it to shift the outlook this season

00:11for the pittsburgh steelers again johnny smith jalen ramsey 2027 seventh rounder making its way

00:18to pittsburgh in return to miami minka fitzpatrick and a 2027 fifth round pick so drs didn't move

00:26the needle for the steelers to get a guy who was a three-time all-pro performer in jalen ramsey not a

00:32pro bowler last year in miami but a pro bowler the season prior in his first year in south florida

00:38johnny smith was the only pro bowler last year for the fins and a dismal season in miami the answer

00:46and not so much these are the odds for pittsburgh entering 2025 you see the movement on the left

00:55those numbers from june 5th the day that aaron rogers officially came to terms with the pittsburgh

01:01steelers on the right where those odds are right now win total still eight and a half the under has

01:07a small bit of juice at minus 125 does it make them a surefire playoff team the odds makers say no plus

01:14140 the steelers still more likely to miss the postseason than make it same price in the afc north

01:21a slightly better number to win an afc championship but yesterday morning before the deal was done

01:27just based on the market moving ever so slightly a 19 to 1 price on the sealers to win the afc that

01:35moved back by a buck throughout the day after the deal was complete and the super bowl price actually

01:41a dollar longer now than it was earlier in the month of june so it's nice the rs to add jalen ramsey

01:48and johnny smith does it make a ton of difference for pittsburgh the odds makers don't really say so

01:54no and it shouldn't make a big difference there at this point because those numbers were baked in

01:58once we thought aaron rogers was always going to be a pittsburgh sealer and he was it's almost like

02:03cheating to say i just want to see what shows up on opening night when they take on the new york jets

02:08right like i i feel like if i can watch aaron rogers mobile in the pocket playing well like you know

02:13what the steelers have a chance now that chance doesn't mean a super bowl because i don't think

02:17they do have a chance at the super bowl but when we take a look at like how the pittsburgh sealers

02:21get down on a year-to-year season it doesn't matter who their quarterback is they're always usually

02:25going to have an aggressive really good defense to run the football and to keep things under wraps

02:29and that provides winning seasons so i ask the people out there which it's easy to hate on aaron

02:34rogers but i think everybody can agree from what you saw last year to this year aaron rogers is going

02:38to be an upgrade at the quarterback position again so a very good defense where they're adding

02:42components and we expect tj watt to be back the offense should be better just because they have

02:48a guy that's been around football that understands the game and if he's if he's healthy which is a

02:52risk at his age at this point as we just saw him come off that devastating injury for the jets but he

02:56played decent football last year so i look at it and say that eight and a half is probably my favorite

03:01bet on the board of the stealer bets to go over there because that means nine and eight season which

03:07is what tomlin does every single year they try to win football games at all costs like even if they're

03:12let's just say they're out of the playoffs with three weeks to go they're still going to go full

03:15tilt those final three games to have a winning season that's what they do now you say well donnie

03:20why don't you think the plus money if they win nine games there's probably a good chance they make the

03:23playoffs well if they win nine games i cash my ticket if they win nine games that doesn't mean they

03:27make the playoffs so that's the reason why i'm not taking the plus money i know what the stealers are

03:32about they're no longer about winning super bowls that's far gone conclusions at this point but mike

03:36tomlin always has the ship pointed in the right direction which means just staying above good enough

03:41to say hey another winning season and we'll be in the mix again next year and that's what they'll do

03:46this year again
