WATCH: Could Steelers give Najee Harris, Pat Freiermuth extensions? Will Patrick Peterson be cut?

On the Monday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast presented by Mike's Beer Bar, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to discuss moves the team can make with its own roster. Could RB Najee Harris and TE Pat Freiermuth be in line for extensions as they near the end of their rookie contracts? Why are names including Chuks Okorafor and Patrick Peterson at the top of the list of potential cuts? And what are the team's biggest needs as NFL free agency and the NFL draft approach? Our duo tackles those topics and more.
