Trade deadline

Post by steelmann58 » Thu Oct 31, 2024 2:24 am

I still think the FO is ok with these Wide Receivers but are still looking. I feel Omar might have something up but won’t be shocked if it’s not a WR. As Far as WR goes if a trade is made it be for either the usual names talked about Williams or Slayton or Theilen. But maybe also for someone who might surprise like maybe Meyers or someone from out of the blue.

Meyers may be a good compliment to Pickens actually. A 4th or 5th?

I feel a trade would have happened by now.

I don't expect any moves

Plenty of time to make a trade.

What’s the over/under on a trade out of left field no one expected?

TE?
CB?

Only a few more days and we’ll see. I’m guessing no additions of any substance to the WR room.

I lean toward we do get a WR.

I’m sure a lot of teams don’t want to start selling until they need to/can’t wait any longer. MIA/JAX/NYJ/CIN are all in win-now mode. But they aren’t going to win now. But they don’t need to admit that until after this weekend.

Maybe settle for a tyler boyd or similar if the price on meyers/wilson/kirk/hill etc is crazy.

I'd love for the Steelers to add a wideout, but I don't think Miami is going to part with either Hill or Waddle even though Miami's season is probably already over and after Buffalo beats the fuck out of them this weekend, Miami might as well put Tua on the shelf until 2025.

The Jets won't trade Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams doesn't seem worth much. I might give them a 7th rounder for Williams. Nothing more. That actually might get it done.

Cincy won't trade any receiver to the Steelers.

With Kirk being injured, does Jacksonville have any other WR's the Steelers could use?

If the Steelers wanted Tyler Boyd, they probably would have signed him this past offseason. I think he signed for peanuts.

Jax has Gabe Davis, but like Waddle, he just signed a massive extension and can't be traded without a huge cap penalty (Davis just had an injury scare anyway).


Here's something strange I just noticed: Several tops teams in the AFC right now (Buffalo, KC, Pittsburgh) all seem to have problems at WR. But teams that have thrown big $ at WRs in recent years (Miami, Jax, NYJ, Vegas, Tennessee) are all badly struggling.

Lack of QB consistency there. Even Rodgers has looked bad.

I like Williams or maybe a higher pick for Slayton. Reason being one of our WRs is going to get dinged so you need depth. A guy like Slayton will make Austin or heaven forbid Pickens going down for a few games not a season killer.

i think the goal all along has been to get someone better than boyd, which is why we passed on him in the offseason. But that’s an argument that we will get someone better, not that that we won’t even get boyd.

I’m too lazy to look and make suggestions

But

A RT if even only for the season who isn’t dumb as shit, had good footwork and can keep Wilson from a season ending injury sounds good to me.

Jones is atrocious and a serious liability to the team

While I definitely don't disagree with you, I have to make 2 points.

1) When Broderick Jones was inserted at RT last season, he struggled early and then actually played much better later in the year (this seemingly happens to every member of the Steelers o-line. Like Cool Shades himself, they like to ease into the season.)

2) They traded up in the first round to get this guy AND our 2024 first round offensive tackle is going to be watching in street clothes all year. They literally have to make Broderick Jones figure his shit out. They are going to work his ass hard in practice and in games until he figures it out.

They will not bench Jones even if he deserves it.

.....and frankly, that is probably the right move.

Look at Dan Moore. 2 years ago we all wanted to kill him. Now he might be one of the best left tackles available in free agency if the Steelers don't franchise him.

Just gotta hope Jones gets better and isn't I guess.

They aren't going to bench him and I've heard no reports that Dylan Cook is the next Anthony Muñoz.

All we can do is hope Jones figures it out.

If Dan Moore can, who was what, a 4th or 5th round draft choice, hopefully Jones can too.

Wasn't Moore graded the poorest tackle in the NFL just a few years ago?

Now they could be in major, major trouble without Moore.

We can't have it both ways: we want young kids to play so we can't bitch when they make mistakes. That's how they learn.

So while I've got a laundry list of issues with Tomlin, he's doing the right thing by keeping Jones in. Now I don't believe he did Jones any favors with the flip flopping earlier in the year for sure.

I remember one offseason after a few years into Moore's sucky career he seemed to come back in much stronger and in much better shape. He matured and we 're now seeing the benefits. I think the same thing will happen for Jones, as he seems like a decent human being when he speaks and not someone that is just in it for the first contract. Dude is very young/inexperienced.

It's a start. This line as currently configured and that second half schedule is more of a worry to me than WR at this point. Not too many great secondaries on that list, but some very good front sevens.

Ugh. If this means we're sticking with Jones through the meat of the schedule, Tomlin and staff can't possibly be watching the same movie I am.

In other news, looks like M.Willams is likely not going to get traded before the deadline:

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id ... -williams

I guess if the J-E-T-S get crushed tonight, or Rodgers gets dinged, they might still want to deal him. Things getting pretty slim for WR help. Roman Wilson's China doll body has really causing this position to be slim.

And why did they use one of their designations to return from IR on him -- just to turn around and waive him the next day. I know a team has up to eight players to return from IR during the regular season, but the move seems wasteful, imo.

Hopefully he clears waivers and can be put on the PS, I guess.

Yea you can probably scratch Williams off as a trade target:

1. Jets are thin themselves at WR now
2. With their win they consider themselves contenders. I mean they aren't, but they can go ahead and pretend for a week :lol:
