[Blitzer]

lmfao!!!!!

[steelerkeylargo]

Bingo!!!!!

He was the 30th ranked guard in the NFL by PFF last year. Young and cheap. I'd say a couple teams could use him.

[Steel Maniac]

Where is Shawn??? I think I’ll give him a call. I love his draft analysis around this time of year.

[hawaiiansteel]

[Captain Lemming]

Somebody smarter than people here who actually an admittedly average avarage guard has less trade value than a 5th round pick.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

who would trade for him?


Pair him and Green for a 6th round pick!

[Buzz]

Maybe a 5th or 6th rounder. Come on!!

apparently not

G KEVIN DOTSON

Experience: 4th season

Contract status: $2.9 million cap hit in 2023, set to be unrestricted free agent after the season

2023 outlook: Dotson has had a curious Steelers career. A mere fourth-round pick from a ?mid-major? Sun Belt program (Louisiana), he was a starter for Week 2 of his rookie season and started the final two games of his rookie season, too. Then, he started every game he played during Year 2 ? but was forced to compete to keep his gig at this point last year.

After holding off Kendrick Green, Dotson played every Steelers offensive snap last season. This time, though, Dotson wasn?t even given the opportunity to fight to keep his job. The Steelers handed it to veteran Isaac Seumalo.

There?s no shame in that, per se, because Seumalo was a coveted free agent who?d just been part of an NFC championship-winning offensive line in Philadelphia. But after the hot start to his career and quick ascension, Dotson has been seemingly in the crosshairs of a management group intent on replacing him and/or not overly satisfied with his play.

Only two players in the entire league (regardless of position) were flagged more often in 2022 than Dotson (11, with 10 accepted). But overall, available metrics didn?t rate Dotson all that poorly in 2022.

Regardless, barring injury, he won?t be a starter in 2023. And with a cap hit that big, there has to be some question as to whether he will be on the team at all ? particularly as the turnover on the Steelers offensive line continues since the new management regime has taken over.

Which team would give up a draft pick for him? He plays poorly and not mentally alert.

This! Dotson was the worst player on the OL last season

[Iron City Inc.]

A team hit hard with injuries at guard may consider it. So we're talking about something that could happen late in the pre-season and we're only talking about a late rounder so it's not much of a move even if it did happen.

[SteelerOfDeVille]

I think trading him is short sighted... Unless you have plans to use that cap room to pick up another need (like ILB), I'd keep him in case something happen to Daniels or Seumalo this season

Good point regarding depth.Herbig would have to prove he’s at least as good as Dotson which he may be.

I'm of the opinion that too many times, this team loses a player at whatever position and that unit goes to crap.

I'm excited that they brought in Golden. I'm excited that they drafted another DL. Allen Robinson. The TEs... this team is building superior bench strength to what they've done in the past and I love it.

So I think Dotson's value in case of emergency is greater than nabbing a future 6th rounder who obviously wouldn't contribute this season, but may not even stick around once drafted.

Now if someone offers up a 3rd...

A "late, late" pick. I mean come on, how much can a well-below average OG be worth?

With the injury scenario I discussed what you have to compare Dotson to is a teams back up guards. Now can you name any backup guards better than Dotson?
Herbig may be one which would be why it may be possible to move Dotson.
The other thought with Dotson is he is cheap. Starting guard for 2.9 / per is a rather good deal.
Can't wait till camp gets here so we can just discuss some X's n O's.

The problem is that Herbig also doubles as backup C... If you lose a C and a G, then what?
If getting rid of Dotson means possibly keeping Kendrick Green, then it's a bad idea.

Not giving up depth I get it and that's fine. I'm good with that.
We may have an extra G if Moore kicks inside as a backup with Jones being able to start at LT.

FWIW, I think Spencer Anderson is the wildcard... if HE kills it in camp, Dotson becomes expendable.
