Simply long in the tooth while [IMO] too expensive for services rendered. Saves them $13.4 million.Steelers part ways with Preston Smith https://triblive.com/sports/steelers-pa ... ton-smith/
More importantly it does put them in a very nice situation cap space wise. How will they spend it?
The move leaves the Steelers with just more than $50 million in salary cap space for the upcoming free agency season.
Depends on what they do at QB. Bu the QB and paying another WR alone could eat up nearly all of that cap.Steelafan77 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2025 4:12 pmSimply long in the tooth while [IMO] too expensive for services rendered.

Agree CK.
I wouldn’t be disappointed if they resigned Fields for something round $18mil to $22mil for 3 years.
Love to see Jaylen Warren resigned as well. 2 years $10-11mil?
Free agency could get expensive quickly. I hope all the long in the tooth players on the cut list stay cut.

Did I read correctly that Preston Smith didn’t even dress for the Ravens playoff game?
Why trade for edge depth and get a monster veteran like Smith that has played in big games his whole career including playoff games where you need to tackle RBs in freezing weather and not even suit the dude up.
But did Tacobelle Patterson dress for the playoff game?
Man I can’t stand this team. Every news piece that comes out just makes me hate this team even more. I wanna burn all of my Steelers gear and I barely have any left.

Absolutely stupid the way this team decided who plays
If you run it through the „Mike Tomlin is the smartest guy in the room.“ filter, it always makes perfect sense.
I could also see him simply not playing guys that weren’t „his“ top choices. He seems like someone who would be passive aggressive that way.

My nephew and his friends talk to me online about football. They live a fair distance from me so my email box gets flooded with their musings and tauntings during the season..lol. None are Steeler fans but they respect the Steelers..This is one of their fave memes about the team under Tomlin "Someone makes a nice play..be prepared for him to not touch the ball for a few games afterwards" It's sad cause it's true...lolsteelmann58 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2025 4:15 amI guess the same reason Mike Williams only played.

What a waste of a draft pick same for Mike Williams. They both spent more time on the sideline then in the game.

Yeah, absolutely do everything. You can not to let the same player be successful again. Save it for the playoffs. Trick them, do whatever you Gotta do.

Just read an article - could have been written by AI, or just some stooge trolling for clicks - that said Najee could get a 2-yr, $24M deal.
WTF? A two-year "prove it" deal for $12M per!?! Any GM paying Najee $12M per year would DEFINITELY be putting their job on the line. That seems at least 50% higher, if not double, what most would put as the very upper range of Najee's value.
Pray it's not the Steelers bidding against themselves. Per usual.

That kind of money means you have at least SOME "long run for a TD" ability...NH has none of that..He's a decent back, not a feature back and is eminently replaceable. I respect his mostly injury free career, his non fumbling, and his toughness. But they seem to think he's a legit feature back. For what reason, nobody with a brain seems to know.Orangesteel wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2025 11:46 pmIf we bring Najee back on an extension I am straight up not watching the Steelers next season.

Nevermind that other teams playmakers get targeted time and time and time again. Those coaches manage to find ways to get their guys the ball.Thrillsseeker wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2025 4:25 pmYeah, absolutely do everything. You can not to let the same player be successful again.

Not in Pittsburgh though. We can’t scheme shit.
Can we cut everyone? I don’t think I like anyone on this team any longer.
I guess Jaylon Warren can stay.
Jibba Jabber’s offense hasn’t scored more than 7 1st quarter points in 82 consecutive games. An NFL record by far. A historic amount of “easin in”. We are lucky to have him.
