Re: Diggs traded to Houston
Never understood the hate for DJ. Even last year, I personally had more gripes with George Pickens than I did with DJ. Pickens in the short and intermediate areas is sloppy with his routes. And there were times he had problems getting his feet in bounds, there were times when he failed to put in any...

Re: Steelers sign TE MyCole Pruitt
I saw it mentioned somewhere that Connor Heyward already has a FB designation assigned to him. Of the three former players under Arthur Smith, I only expect Patterson to make the team. Van Jefferson and Pruitt will be camp bodies that will help teach Smith's offense but ultimately will be cut and/or...

Re: J C Latham or Graham Barton
When you go to the various mock draft simulators and do some mock drafts, various trends start to happen over and over again. And yes, these are mock simulators and the trading of picks can border on ridiculous, but I think it does show some trends that I think will happen come draft time. One. I do...

Re: Getting closer any still Roster ?
I agree on being skeptical of the Center class this draft and have genuine uneasy feelings on a number of these top prospects. Let us take a look back to 2021 NFL Draft. Remember when that supposedly was a good center class too? You had all kind of names, the Landon Dickersons, Creed Humphries. But ...

Cam too old?? He is 3 years younger than Calais Campbell! Who is still playing and will turn 38 in September, he will sign with some team eventually.

Re: Any update on Heyward’s contract?
I think they give Cam a 2 year extension and probably take most of his $16 million base salary and convert it into a signing bonus which they then can spread out over 3 years of the extension. Cam has a $22,406,250 cap hit for 2024. Can't do anything about the pro rated signing bonus of $4,050,000 o...

Re: Pierre finally not going to be taking a slot on the 53 man roster
I would agree with that Ice. It did seem like the players drafted would be outstanding on special teams for a year or two and then move into the starting lineup on offense or defense. I remember Orpheus Roye was a 6th round pick who finally got on the field as a starter in year 3 and 4 and had 8 sac...

Re: Omar final move before the Draft

Re: Terry McLaurin rumor
I really question investing heavily into the WR position with Arthur Smith as the OC. They need something behind Pickens, and Pickens insurance because he's a fucking headcase, but if Smith is running his offense it's more TE-centric and the third WR is basically a prop. And we're talking about giv...

I genuinely thought Harris had turned a corner in the second half of last season.

Now this year he is back to the same old...

Just 1. I'll go with Mason Rudolph. He didn't do enough to sew up a roster spot and there is too much talent at other spots (like o-line) the Steelers will want to keep. Also, Mason will always be a phone call away if the Steelers need him. He had the entire offseason to sign with another team but ...

Looking at the trade value chart, in terms of expected points (say the Steelers are roughly 15 draft spots behind the Rams), we basically traded Dotson for the value of an early 5th round draft pick. If the gap is greater between the Rams and Steelers, then it takes on even a higher value. I believ...

I am so happy that we signed Kwon instead of trading for that bum Simmons from Arizona.
The past three seasons Simmons gave up 9 TDs in pass coverage, while Kwon (after being traded to New Orleans), in 2.5 seasons, has given up just 1 TD.
In Khan we trust.
