Any FA rumors?

[steeler_george]

Hey Yinz hearing anything out there in the burgh?

[buccoray61]

I read an article that said the Steelers won't be major players in FA. Here are some of the names it threw out.
ILB-Kemal Ishamael, Christian Jones, Gerald Hodges, Paul Posluszny
Safety
Bradley McDougal
Terrence Brooks
Jarius Byrd
Tayvon Wilson

[feltdizz]

No...

I think the most we get is a depth signing or 2 at ILB or Safety

never know though, we might find someone who wants a chance at a ring

[Oviedo]

I think I heard something about the Steelers tagging Leveon Bell to prevent him from becoming a free agent

Seahawks extend safety Bradley McDougald

Posted by Darin Gantt on March 12, 2018, 11:16 AM EDT

The Seahawks do have room on the roster for one of their defensive players.

According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, the Seahawks have agreed to terms on a three-year, $13.95 million deal with safety Bradley McDougald.

McDougald replaced Kam Chancellor in the starting lineup last year when Chancellor was lost with a neck injury. Considering the Seahawks aren’t sure whether Chancellor will (or whether they want him to) play again, keeping McDougald around is solid insurance.

A free agent pickup from the Buccaneers prior to last season, McDougald would have been an unrestricted free agent later this week.

Do fans here think that if we let Le'Veon walk, we will use that franchise tag money to sign a big money deal with a top tier free agent on day one of the signing period?

The Steelers have literally never done that.

They attempt to plug holes in advance of the draft with mid-tier free agents (recently with guys like Ladarius Green and Mike Mitchell, and in the past with guys like Ryan Clark and James Farrior).

The big money deals are reserved for homegrown talent that coaches and front office already knows very well, as opposed to attempting to shoot for the moon with other teams' unknowns.

I think that we will have Bell play under the tag and do little in UFA. It is the sensible Steelers thing to do. But, I think that this will lead to an underwhelming D. But with Ben, Bell, and AB we will at least have the firepower to outscore our problems on D. I'd rather be a balanced team because I don't think glass cannon type teams have a good chance of winning the Super Bowl.

If we rescinded the tag (not Steelers-like), I think that we would probably make a medium to large acquisition in the first few days of UFA. Either way, I don't think we'd do something like swoop in and sign Boston on day 1. I generally like this approach as I think that big spash UFAs usually under-perform their contracts.

I could see an argument for this year being different because losing Shazier at this point in his career is not something that would generally happen in a normal Steelers-like way (i.e. he already had the option year signed and I think we would have offered him a very good long term contract). We will have to react to that situation somehow because we don't have an in-house player to step into that role.

But, as is tradition our big UFA signing will be the internal guy that we know and trust. It's hard to fault the process (and the long term results it has give us), even though I think I would do it differently this year.

[Chadman]

I expect they kick Timmons’ tyres. That said, if Gerald Hodges is actually on the radar, he’s a good signing.

didnt we try to sign a lb for 10 million last year?

[NorthCoast]

I could see a big FA signing if the Steelers were one player away from a Superbowl berth. I am not convinced this is their current situation on defense.

[Rara]

I read earlier that Avery Williamson turned down a 4 year/$12mm deal with Tennessee. If he turned that offer down to re-sign with his team...he wouldn't be paid by the Steelers.

[Shawn]

I guess the question I would have is this...can we afford another year of drama with Bell? I say get him under contract or move him. The fact that they went with another exclusive tag year tells me they want to get this contract done. It would't shock me at all if the Steelers sign Bell to a 4 year contract in the neighborhood of 60 million much to the chagrin of fans. Many fans might be done with him but the Steelers clearly are not. I have a hard time believing the Steelers would lock him down exclusive and want a year of toxicity in the locker room. If Bell is going to be here I want a happy Bell.

If they are going to sign him, do it!

If they are going to pay him just for 1 year and then have this in play next year, just release or trade him now.

I honestly, I thought we would make an uncharacteristic splash in FA this year to replace an uncharacteristic loss of Shazier.

Linebacker Paul Posluszny retires

Posted by Darin Gantt on March 13, 2018, 11:02 AM EDT

The Jaguars have a promising young core of defensive players, and one of their mentors is walking away.

According to Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times Union, veteran linebacker Paul Posluszny is retiring after 11 seasons.

With much sadness but without regret, I realize that I am no longer able to adhere to the unwavering standard of excellence that professional football demands,” he wrote. “I say this with a heavy heart: I am retiring from the NFL. I love the game of football so much, and I know there is truly only one acceptable way to play. Knowing I can no longer compete at a level that I find acceptable, I have chosen to end my football career. This decision is mine alone, and although I know this will not bring me happiness, it is the right and honorable action to take at this time in my life. I cherished every moment of my NFL career, and it has been such a blessing to play the game for as long as I have played. I anxiously look forward to next football season to arrive, but this time with the sole focus of being a great husband and father for my loving family.

The 33-year-old signed with the Jaguars in 2011 and endured the lean years, and then was moved out of the middle on an every down basis when Myles Jack was ready to take over there. He was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent tomorrow.

He played his first four years with the Bills, and retires second on the Jaguars’ all-time tackle list with 973, trailing only Daryl Smith (1,089).

Lions re-sign safety Tavon Wilson

Posted by Darin Gantt on March 13, 2018, 10:07 AM EDT


The Lions held onto one of their own, as they build a defense for new coach Matt Patricia.

The team announced they had re-signed safety Tavon Wilson.

He follows the pattern of many Patricia hires by being a former Patriot, but he signed with the Lions in 2016 as an unrestricted free agent.

He played in 10 games last year, with his season cut short by a shoulder injury which required surgery.

Steelers should focus on Avery Williamson, Preston Brown in free agency

8:00 AM ET

Jeremy Fowler
ESPN Staff Writer

Here are the moves the Pittsburgh Steelers should consider when free agency opens at 4 p.m. ET Wednesday, March 14:

Sign an inside linebacker: The loss of Ryan Shazier makes the Steelers' need in the middle of their defense painfully obvious. Vince Williams is a good run-stopper and blitzer, but the defense is lacking the sideline-to-sideline brilliance Shazier provided. They won't find a Shazier duplicate in free agency, but there are plenty of three-down thumpers available for modest cash. Tennessee's Avery Williamson is a rangy athlete with an all-around game (three sacks and two forced fumbles to go with 92 tackles). Buffalo's Preston Brown has been a tackling machine (512 takedowns in four seasons) and doesn't come off the field. Dallas' Anthony Hitchens is a hitter who would improve a run defense that gave up 150-plus yards in three of the final six games last season (including the playoff loss to Jacksonville).

Sign for depth at offensive line or safety: With $1 million in cap space as of last week, the Steelers needed to release veterans or restructure contracts to simply sign one player in free agency. But whatever happens with the roster, the Steelers need depth and playmaking at safety and along the offensive line, where the loss of swing tackle Chris Hubbard will be felt. The Steelers could -- and likely will -- draft at least one of these spots. But quality veterans will be available in free agency's second wave. Take Tyson Alualu, whom the Steelers acquired for three years, $6 million last year. He acquitted himself well.

Continue to work toward a Le'Veon Bell signing: The standoff is set. Bell wants old running back money, and the Steelers don't want to set a pricey precedent for a stagnant positional market. But the sides aren't as far apart as it seems, and creating a long-term deal for Bell before the mid-July franchise tag deadline would provide 2018 cap relief (his current figure is $14.54 million). The Steelers want to sign Bell, who wants to retire a Steeler. This shouldn't be too difficult, assuming compromise is still an option.

Create salary-cap space for bigger moves: The imminent releases of cornerback William Gay and safety Mike Mitchell will shave nearly $7 million off Pittsburgh's cap. They can create more by restructuring at least one more contract (defensive end Cam Heyward and cornerback Joe Haden have double-digit cap numbers in 2018) with possibly more cuts to come. The Steelers value veterans more than most teams, but will have difficult decisions. Shedding contracts is simply the cost of doing business in the NFL.

[RuthlessBurgher]

Hitchens is signing with the Chiefs, and Williamson turned down an offer from the Titans that is likely more than what the Steelers would offer him. Don't know if the team has made contact with Preston Brown.

Why is the offer that Williamson turned down from Tennessee likely more than the Steelers would offer him? It was a 4 year, $12M offer. Is paying a guy $3M per year a deal breaker to obtain a starting ILB?

Three years ago, we signed Arthur Moats to a 3 year, $7.5M contract ($2.5M per year) for LB depth behind our starters.

Last offseason, we signed Tyson Alualu to a 2 year, $6M contract ($3M per year) for DL depth behind our starters.

If we really think he'd be our answer to fill Shazier's starting ILB role, we should be offering him more than $3M per year, no?

[pittpete]

Should we take a look at NY Jets ILB Demario Davis?
According to NYJ sites he's a priorty FA signing for them..

Sheesh, this is confusing the shi* out of me today. First with Cousin 3yrs 28 M and now this... if it is complete deal for 12 Million, then I think we should sign him now! Or is 12M per year?

[Buzz]

Williamson is a good LB. If we were signing him to be a starter, $12MM for 4 years would be a bargain, but I don't think we ought to give that kind of money to a backup. And unless they're going to have him replace V. Williams (not likely), he shouldn't be a starter. He's not what we need for the Mack; not that great in coverage. Save the money, and go after someone who can really perform the way we need them to in the Mack role.

[Steel Maniac]

Buzz, other then Watt, we need LB"s across the board. Of course the ILB is the focus but we need two new talented linebackers coming out of this off-season.

We just need a solid guy next to him with a bit of speed.
I also think Vince was never the same mentally after Shazier's injury.

I was reading where the Steelers are considering switching sides with Watt and Dupree. They gave the reasons that this would help, but I would have to re- read the article.

[Shawn]

Not ready to give up on Dupree yet, but we do need two quality ILBs I'm not either. I've seen the flashes from Dupree that make me think he can be a playmaker in this league.

[Chadman]

Just in support of Dupree, isn’t the pass completion & run defence numbers significantly better on his side of the field? Is that related somehow?

He seems a very scheme solid kind of guy- doesn’t blow his assignments. Would like to see more plays from him, big plays, but this IS a defense that had astronomical sack numbers last year. Not like we are not getting pressure. Is he a part of that success by freeing others up? Or are his numbers effected by the success of those around him? There are only so many QB’s to sack, for example.

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

Sounds like Eagles retaining Bradham & they are shopping Kendricks. Under 6 mil two years left. Make the call. 5th or South. Get him here & extend. Much better now for draft. S in first 2 rounds.

[K Train]

Tyrann Mathieu would be one hell of a pickup for the steelers...injuries and all he presents a tremendous upgrade to the secondary.

Just thinking out loud, dont actually expect it to happen

[Oviedo]

I heard a "hot rumor" that the Steelers aren't going to be big players in free agency and won't make a "splash" signing:) We will however make later depth signings

I've been on this board, and its predecessor, for about a decade. I always have to laugh when we start talking about our free agent signings and when they don't occur how so many get so upset. It isn't in our culture to play in the FA market and more importnatly we deliberately structure our salary cap that it precludes us being major players

[Oviedo]

Which is why it makes sense to seriously look at going to the 4-3.

By my count we have been trying to get that fourth, sometimes third and fourth, LB for about a decade now. What do they say the definition of insanity is: "Doing the same thing that doesn't work over and over again"

its like those people saying trade Bell for Cleveland’s first round picks.

..or signing Carlos Hyde.

Steelers FO knows when they have to pull the trigger. It isn't often but it happens. Given their situation..I wouldn't count out something happening at ILB. They can fix S in draft & Wilcox - Golden are insurance until ready. They CAN NOT miss at ILB.




They are doing their due diligence right now at getting a proven player. Their Backup plan is early in draft.
Trading for Kendrick's would actually be the cheaper solution if they can get him for a 5th. We all saw what ILB are getting. You won't get him open market for his base salary. You can trade & rework to lower. Probably looking at others on rosters too.

Unlikely injury to Shazier should cause an unlikely move by the FO..."desperate times call for desperate measures", but I think the market is out of our reach except for maybe a vet, like Timmons willing to take a paycut.

Kendrick's availability might help in depth in a big way!

Kendrick's availability might help in depth in a big way!

But, I think that the only way to do that was to let Bell walk when they failed to get a reasonable long term deal by the tag deadline.

Once they tagged him, it meant that there was no room to sign an above average UFA (because UFA's are always overpaid early in the process).

I can't argue with the success they've had using this strategy. I generally think it's a very good strategy. But with Shazier's injury and Bell's reluctance to sign a deal because it only inflates the value of RBs by ~75%, I would have been OK with letting him walk to try to bring in help on D.

Ultimately, I think that the path they're on is still a good one. We'll have to outscore the problems on D and I don't think you can win a SB like that, but they'll still be fun to watch. I think that we need big hits on draft day or lat in UFA to just have an average D.

Golden was terrible as a back up. Decent in ST’s but nothing special.

we’re definitely not done with the safety position.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

golden dressed on game day and was a good ST guy

wilcox adds zero

no reason for him to be on the roster at twice the salary

[Real Deal Steel]

Wilcox is taking up the spot where a useful player could be.

[Chadman]

Wilcox’s play was actually reasonably decent.

He hit the bench after getting a little...excited...during ST’s. Having him on the roster doesn’t stop the Steelers from adding Safeties both in FA & the draft. But it does give the team cover if the new players are not 100% ready to go.

If Colbert & Tomlin are prepared to let Mitchell & Golden leave, but keep Wilcox- I expect he fits whatever the new DB coach likes in his SS play.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

his play was so decent he was a healthy scratch down the stretch

yeah, not buying that at all

[Slapstick]

Wilcox had as many INTs for the Steelers as Mike Mitchell did in the last two seasons...

[Eddie Spaghetti]

so they both suck

3 million is too much for a player like Wilcox

put that towards someone that can actually play

[buccoray61]

From what I understand, they are serious about the Sutton to safety move.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

I will be shocked if they move Sutton to safety. it makes no sense to finally draft someone who shows some ability at CB and them promptly move him

but the steelers braintrust haven't exactly shown themselves to be wizards when it comes to defensive back play so anything is possible I guess

[Chadman]

Eddie- Wilcox was seeing the field as a back-up SS and ST. He was benched, not for his SS play, but for repeated dumb penalties on ST. I’m not suggesting he’s Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu, but his actual safety play wasn’t that bad.

$3m is probably high for an insurance policy, but if they were to extend him for a year..

[buccoray61]

I will be shocked if they move Sutton to safety. it makes no sense to finally draft someone who shows some ability at CB and them promptly move him

but the steelers braintrust haven't exactly shown themselves to be wizards when it comes to defensive back play

What I read they would move Sutton because they really like what they see in Brian Allen the big corner they drafted from Utah.

[Chadman]

It wouldn’t surprise me to see Sutton play some FS, but given he is the #1 back-up to the outside CB’s, I can’t see that being a permanent move. What about Allen though?

[Eddie Spaghetti]

chadman I respect your opinion but I have to disagree

and I certainly don't want to see him extended

hope he balls out in whatever role he has and proves me wrong as it appears we are stuck with him for now

I guess it makes a little more sense if they move Davis to FS as has been reported. I suppose it gives you some insurance to not have to start a rookie like ronnie harrison for example

time will tell

He like 6' 2" and has arm length. He a converted receiver so he's probably still a little raw but they like what he's shown.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

according to the depot Wilcox played 132 snaps and made 12 tackles while missing 5 which equates to whiffing on 30% of those opportunities

not exactly stellar play for 3 million bucks

[Ernie]

Allen was my first thought. He's shown some position versatility. He's got length and hands... plus he's used to battling and making breaks on balls from the WR position. Appears to be a great athlete. Doesn't appear he's going to get significant time at CB (unless Sutton moves to Safety). I think he's worth a look back there.

Hey Eddie, I’d feel pretty confident that unless they sign a ‘marquee’ FA at SS, then the draft (and likely R1) will be a Safety selection (like Harrison, like Reid). The chances of the Steelers signing a big name FA seem pretty remote, so it’s a pretty safe bet that Wilcox could be the temporary starter until the rookie takes over.

I’d also be interested to see if they could use Wilcox as the LB/SS hybrid type- he’s best known for being a physical type of player.

[Slapstick]

They may do with Wilcox what they probably should have done in the first place: play him on 3rd downs in a LB/SS hybrid role...Shazier isn’t around to do it any more...that kind of role is where he was really able to excel in Dallas as opposed to the traditional safety role...

Edited to add: Just saw Chadman’s post...

Because we needed a safety and we had Ryan Shazier....

I think this would be a good get if we brought him in for a visit. And it wouldn't bust our pockets either.

[Real Deal Steel]

Because we needed a safety and we had Ryan Shazier....

That doesn't sound too smart by our coaches then.

[steelerkeylargo]

Williamson is a good LB. If we were signing him to be a starter, $12MM for 4 years would be a bargain, but I don't think we ought to give that kind of money to a backup. And unless they're going to have him replace V. Williams (not likely), he shouldn't be a starter. He's not what we need for the Mack; not that great in coverage. Save the money, and go after someone who can really perform the way we need them to in the Mack role.

Williamson was signed by the Jets. Terms not disclosed.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

he got 3 years 22 million w 16 guaranteed

Why didn't they use Wilcox in the hybrid role after Shazier went down? I think they kept him inactive for most of those games.

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

BTW-Love your Sam Hubbard pick. Is he really being seen as a 3rd round pick? For me, Hubbard was my favorite player on that OSU D.

Sorry Shawn..Missed this. Yeah I had him 3rd before combine because I knew the lacrosse background...So I knew he had the hips to play in space even at that size. After combine workout especially positional drills..He may have 2nd round consideration.

Tyrann Mathieu: A winning culture matters more to me than money

Posted by Michael David Smith on March 15, 2018, 6:34 AM EDT

Tyrann Mathieu is an unrestricted free agent, and he says breaking the bank is not his top priority.

Mathieu told Albert Breer of SI.com that when choosing his next team, he’s going to choose the team that he thinks will make him the best player he can be, while playing on the best team he can play on.

“It’s not all about money for me,” he said. “I want to go somewhere where I can be completely immersed in football, and it’s not too much about anything but winning. I want to be a part of winning culture, where you feel that all the time. That’s all I want.”

The Cardinals missed the playoffs the last two years, and now they’ll have a new coaching staff, and so Mathieu declined the team’s request that he take a pay cut. He’ll shop himself, not necessarily to the highest bidder, but to the team where he thinks he’s going to have the best chance to be a big part of a winner.

Tyrann Mathieu "Its not all about money for me"

Sounds like we have a match lol

[Slapstick]

Why didn't they use Wilcox in the hybrid role after Shazier went down? I think they kept him inactive for most of those games.

Because he probably didn't know that role in the defense...he most likely focused on backing up the safety positions...it isn't as though he was in training camp or OTAs...

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

Well if they find a way to land the Honey Badger & trade for Kenricks or sign a FA ILB...They could really work the draft in their favor.

[SteelBucks]

Steelers bring back Fitzgerald Toussaint

Posted by Darin Gantt on March 15, 2018, 1:23 PM EDT


The restricted free agent market prices some players out of a job, as teams don’t want to commit to the amount of the tender. That doesn’t mean they can’t come back later.

According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, the Steelers have brought back running back Fitzgerald Toussaint.

He was not tendered as an RFA, primarily because it would have cost $1.907 million to keep him. His new deal is probably far closer to the $790,000 minimum for players with three accrued seasons.

He has 44 career rushes for 137 yards, but he’s a known commodity and he’s started in the playoffs for them before, so they obviously thought he was worth keeping around.

As I suggested Bell money will make us have to settle for less on defense. Can he play runningback rec eiver AND pro bowl caliber safety? Cause that is the only way signing him makes winning that game any more likely

[Steel Maniac]

Bell will be locked in by the tag. No movement by us whatsoever in free agency (not even management reaching out and requesting a player to visit) tells us that we are really up against it. We haven’t even seen second tier guys.

I’m not expecting any FA movement until after the draft. If then.

Might explain why the Texans got him for $7M. If you have to invest the $$$ to have "an above average backup," it might be hard to justify paying Mathieu elite-player money.
