You’re kidding right? Alexander and Mosley set the LB market with monster contracts.

Us? We hope to make good of our draft with 4 picks in the top 100. Can’t wait!

Signed with the Cardinals for 4 years, 36M. With the stupid money being thrown around, that's actually not bad.


Omg I didn’t see that. This actually makes me sick to my stomach. What a motherfucking bargain! It’s ok, I get to go home to a sick, pregnant wife and my 2 year old who’s also sick. It’s ok, at least I get to see us sign a couple FA...oh, that’s right, I’m a Steeler fan.

Steelers are involved in the receiver market. They've inquired on several, including Tyrell Williams. Could settle on second-tier player market depending on price, but it wouldn't surprise if they signed a new playmaker for Ben Roethlisberger.

Darron Lee from the Jets (first round pick in 2016 from Ohio State) will now be available. I trade one of our 6ths for him today. I really wanted Hicks, but I could take a flyer on Lee. Not much salary involved. If he works out fine, if not, no big loss. He had 3 interceptions in 12 games last year and averaged 7 tackles a game.

But really, with all of the bullshit that has transpired, not sure anyone wants to come here and play for Tomlin. We still have some very good players on this team, but Tomlin’s reputation is now widely known, league wide.


I think that almost every contract given out thus far is bullshit and Im glad the Steelers are sitting out.

Tomlin kept those turds Brown and Bell in line as long as he could. I dont care how many twtiter likes they get, you cant tell me they weren’t hated by the guys in the trenches who are the knes that matter.

Ask Heyward and Pouncey what they think of Tomlin.

They wont have a problem getting quality veterN leaders, just not these overpaid assholes.

One thing the Steelers NEVER do is make an outsider the highest paid player at a position group unless he is head and shoulders above his peers.

CJ Mosely at this point may not be much better than Vince Williams.


The numbers have been a little much, we agree on that. But they need to do something, because what they have been doing isn’t working.

I understand what Pabst said about a team like, for example, the Chiefs. They had one of the worst defenses in the league and were a drive from the Super Bowl.

They know their strengths and their weaknesses. Chiefs sign Honey Badger does make that defense a little better, or not the same from a few guys leaving. HOWEVER, they are active because they see their window. Do we see our window?

That said, color me surprised that we are being mentioned in the Tyrell sweepstakes. He’d be a good get, and if still draft a young speedster in round 2 or 3.

Plot twist! LB Anthony Barr has decided to agree to terms to remain with the #Vikings, sources say. He will not be a member of the #Jets after all.

AB should've been traded after the FB Live fiasco from the locker room.

I can't believe he stayed in that locker room, and was REWARDED with a new contract.

That episode ALONE reveals the weakness inherent in the current management/ownership structure.

I guess a fake twitter account is spreading the Bell to Ravens deal.

While the #Jets made a best and final offer to Le’Veon Bell, the #Ravens are still in it, as well, I’m told. And Bell has indicated to some friends around the league how much he likes Baltimore. It seems like Ravens vs. Jets for Bell at the end.

If Bell goes to Blt, can he play Lb, S, Wr, Qb, Dl to? Let his fat ass go there. Doesnt worry me in the least.

I see bell getting big carries and is going to be mr dump off with jackson as qb. He'll get a lot of attention in their offense and rack up lots of YAC with RB screens making up half their offense. Designed scrambles for jackson being the other half.

Look what Ravens lost since then. Even taking into account losing AB, they got destroyed this offseason.

Yes but Given money paid out to Mosley & Smith ...I don't see how you could justify paying either player that much. Suggs is a part time pass rusher that struggles to set the edge. Weddle I feel was a mistake. I'm sure he would've been happy to stay at price Rams paid.

Meanwhile… the #Ravens have been in discussing with RB Mark Ingram on a potential deal, which makes sense as he’s parting ways with the #Saints. They’re the favorites for Ingram.

He’s under K but we rumors are they are entertaining trade offers as part of rebuild.

I think the chances of NYG taking Haskins are high (like mock draft says).
