A small part of me can't help but think that may not have been what Tomlin meant when he said Kenny would face competition next season...

If they could sign Queen, Jaylon Johnson or Sneed and First Cousins and nail the draft I would say that would be solid.

They're not signing any great FAs who don't already have a ring and/or the best years of their career behind them. Sneed & Johnson are both top 5 CBs in the league who will get paid by real contenders. Queen is a good player who plays one of the least-valued positions in the NFL. You might get him but honestly how much better is he than Roberts for the defense the Steelers run? Maybe some but I'm not sure how much it moves the needle. If Fred Warner wants to come to know, then we'll talk.

This is what I would do.

Cuts
Allen Robinson
Patrick Peterson
Pressley Harvin III
Keanu Neal
Larry Ogunjobi
Damontae Kazee


Unrestricted Free Agents
Levi Wallace - Let him walk
Mason Rudolph - Why on earth would he want to return
Chandon Sullivan - Let him walk
James Pierre - Let him walk
Mykal Walker - Let him walk
Blake Martinez - Let him walk

Restructure
Alex Highsmith
Minkah Fitzpatrick

Trades
Chuks Okorafor - 5th round pick in return
Mitchell Trubisky - plus 3rd round pick for Justin Fields, and let Fields and Pickett fight it out.

I would sign Chase Young from the 49ers and Lloyd Cushenberry from Denver. On draft day I pick an OT in the first round and a CB in the second. Best player available for the rest of the draft.

How come you don't have Heyward on this list. You really want to pay him $20m next season. He has not been relevant in 3 years. Time to move on from Cam. I don't know how much overall this would save the Stillers $. It could help bring in a very good FA

I think they will rework Cam's contract. They save enough to sign a few more FA after the two I mentioned. I think Chase Young is better than Ogunjobi, and Cushenberry is better than Cole, who I would keep as a backup at center and guard.

Chase Young and Larry Ogunjobi are very different players. Wouldn't really be a plug-n-play trade.

I agree. I am just using the savings from Ogunjobi to afford Young. I do think he fits the Steelers defensive scheme.

I wouldn't touch Chase Young. I couldn't believe how lazy he played last Sunday.

Cushenberry is a Center, and a pretty good one. The Steelers were interested in him when he came out.

No, at DT, ala Leal. I don't watch football after the Steelers are eliminated. But I see he dogged in NFC championship game. So to quote Emily Litella, "never mind."

Agree, CD. If one has watched as much of his career as I have, they'd know he plays like that most games. He's a total "me-first" poser. I don't think he actually likes football...or contact for that matter. He does like money, though.

I want no part of him, never have, unless it's a two year, league minimum deal -- so I could immediately sucker some other team into giving me draft picks for him. ;)
