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.StillerDownSouth wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 2:35 amIf they could sign Queen, Jaylon Johnson or Sneed and First Cousins and nail the draft I would say that would be solid.

Patrick Peterson
Pressley Harvin III

Larry Ogunjobi
Damontae Kazee
Unrestricted Free Agents
Levi Wallace - Let him walk
Mason Rudolph - Why on earth would he want to return

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 FAjewelsongs wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 3:02 amThis is what I would do.

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.gojira5150 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 5:14 pmHow come you don't have Heyward on this list.

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

Cushenberry is a Center, and a pretty good one. The Steelers were interested in him when he came out.sinceiwas4 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 6:41 pmwhat do you do at center? that has to be addressed. snaps at feet or head and still late to blocks? cant just grab ot and cb before best player unless center is already helped via fa somehowjewelsongs wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 3:02 amThis is what I would do.

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."Ice wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 6:52 pmWave behind Watt/Highsmith and ahead of Herbs?jewelsongs wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 6:12 pmI agree.

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.Charles Demarr wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 6:44 pmI wouldn't touch Chase Young.

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.
