Can we couple this with Kaboly's report from today that they are still looking for a WR?

My guess is Sutton and that would be rad. I think he’s got some seasons left and is coming off a great year.

Don't agree with the great year part. I know some Lions fans and they thought Sutton got roasted far more often than he played well.

The times I watched (which admittedly wasn't all that often) Sutton was not impressive.

His stats back that up too. Sutton, in a contract year with the Steelers had 13 passes defensed. Last year he had 6 in his first year with the Lions.

Sutton's last year in Pittsburgh, he had 3 INT's and only had 1 last season in Detroit.

To be fair, Sutton did have the most tackles of his career in his first year with the Lions, but the fans I talked to were not thrilled with Sutton's performance and this was well before the DV accusation.

Would I like Sutton back in Pittsburgh at a decent price? Absolutely. I think he'd help the Steelers no doubt, but I was someone that argued Sutton was overrated and was concerned the only special season he had as a Steeler was a contract year.

That's always telling.

I hope they are.

The depth behind Pickens and Roman Wilson leaves a lot to be desired.

Calvin Austin hopefully still has some upside, but Van Jefferson is pretty meh and Quez Watkins will always have issues with drops.

I most definitely hope the front office isn't done upgrading the WR position.

Sutton? Cam or Courtland?
Although I wouldn’t describe either as an “explosive playmaker”.

Sutton would make a decent #2 WR, but you're right, I wouldn't call him a big playmaker. 10 TDs last year definitely eclipses DJ's production in that department, though.

Benjamin Albright seemed to be hinting Courtland here...

But then a Broncos beat reporter stated the Broncos have no plans to trade Courtland and was shutting it down...

So who knows.

Hoping we're not giving up too much. Draft capital is going to be important if we're going to be franchise QB hunting in the near future.

If I'm going to start a trade rumor I'm attaching a name to it and it's going to involve one of my favorite wrs.

They don’t need another slot. They need outside.

I mentioned this because there was a lot of buzz about him and the 49ers on the SF team sites today.

First thought was that you were being a smartass and talking about #92 :lol:

I’d love to have Samuel not sure it would happen tho

Lots of internet chatter right now that it’s not Sutton.

Its DK Metcalf.

Saw another one that it is Tee Higgins. People are just throwing shit out there now hoping to right.

DK completely changes the offense. That becomes SB contender stuff there unless Tomlin fcks it up. But I just can't see the Seahawks doing that.

The Steelers just drafted 8 starters ….6 - 8 C2s……over the last two drafts

Trade away a 3rd or less ?? Ok

Trade a 1st or 2nd ?? I’d rather see Roman Wilson get more rookie snaps and try to add another WR in the draft next year

DK Metcalf is only 26. Seems like he's been around forever. Would give the Steelers a lot of big, physical targets.

Signed through 2025. Not huge cap hits in 24 or 25, but not insignificant either.

I can't imagine the Steelers have the draft capital for that, even if they eviscerate their 2025 draft. They'd have to trade a player plus picks, and that player would have to be pretty good. And likely young.

Alex Highsmith? Najee Harris? Justin Fields? Throw in Dan Moore?

Well Bmac certainly jizzed all over my night as I kept hitting refresh and googling everything from “Deebo Samuel Steelers” to “Broncos Message Boards” and everything in between.

I need to see what AB thinks

I don't recognize these Steelers.
