Coach Tomlin was elated in victory but was already planning next year. He reminded all the players and coaches to come prepared for next year.
Some important dates are as follows:
Feb. 8: Pro Bowl
Feb. 18-24: NFL Scouting Combine
Feb. 19: Deadline for designation of Franchise Players and Transition Players
Feb. 27: Free Agency and trading period begins
March 22-25: Annual Owners Meeting
April 17: Signing period ends for restricted free agents
April 24: Deadline for old clubs to exercise right of first refusal
April 25-26: NFL Draft
May 18-20: Spring Meeting
Aug. 9: Hall of Fame Game
Sep. 1: Roster cutdown to 75 players
Sep. 5: Roster cutdown to 53 players
Just a few thoughts to add to our thinking:
- All agents are obligated by the NFLPA to sign the contract which totals the highest value of all legitimate offers. Only players can intervene and by written consent declare they want to play for a team at less total monies.
- The Steelers play the first game of the year in 2009. I think the Tennessee Titans may be our game.
- The following site takes you to some downloads of the game but of relevance are the interviews of Coach Tomlin by John Lynch and the interview of Coach LeBeau by Rod Woodson. You will hear the most important thing in coaching which is why the Steeler players love Coach LeBeau.
