Re: Steelers Trade For Justin Fields
Ideally, RussCooks and we see Fields padding large leads in the 2nd half.

Re: Pickett traded to Eagles
I am actually disappointed. Not in the Steelers, but in Pickett. He had just witnessed Rudolph emerge from the proverbial bottom of the barrel to be a season saver and fan favorite. Pickett would have had much more going for him during his bench tenure than Mason did. Good that he is gone though if ...

Re: Steelers signing Safety DeShon Elliott
Helps to fill out the roster.
Probably does not preclude them from drafting a player like Cole Bishop, or another SS prospect they may like, should Day 3 value present itself.
Day 1 or Day 2 looks doubtful, imo.

God, I hope not. Why not? He's fine as a temporary stop-gap if he comes on the cheap. Edmunds looks alot different if you judge him as a spot-starter / role player rather than a 1st round pick. The main reason: because him being back stops us from getting better in the S room. Minkah is a star that...

Re: Patrick P on being released by Steelers
During his playing days, Joey Porter was one of the Steelers’ best emotional leaders. He was not as effective as a coach. Some guys do not translate their same leadership skills from the field to the chalkboard. There are 3 CBs on the team with only 1 year of professional football under their belts,...

A veteran who still wants to contribute, and is willing to take on whatever role the team asks of him. Patrick Peterson profiles as a player worthy of re-signing.

I don't like this trade....while all of the specific criticims of Diontae are true, I think he was a very good route runner and made some very big plays.

Re: FA signings - Still available
As long as Watts can 2-gap, that is fine to re-sign him. Have to have at least one NT on the roster who can consistently drop anchor and hold the line if necessary. A'Shawn Robinson should be an option. He gives off a bit of a Flozell Adams vibe about him. Adams was a quality FA addition for the Ste...

Re: Steelers sign Justin Simmons?
Word at the combine was that the rest of the NFL was not overly enamored with how the Steelers / Kahn did business. Perhaps it had to do with wanting to stand by contracts as much as possible.

Absolutely exercise the option if it were up to me. Najee Harris has always been a team first kind of player. Much more saying "wo" to that dog than "sic'em." The emergence of Jaylen Warren has allowed Harris to stay more fresh, enabling Naj to be a more effective power back, clock killer and late g...

Gabe Davis is a player of interest to me. Some of the WR plan hinges on how sold the team is on Pickens’ ability as a #1 (think Brown, Diontae Johnson, Hines), or is he more of a #2 (think Wallace, Holmes, Plex). If they think George can be a #1, then maybe they grab a guy who they like as a #2, who...
