Is this a good move, or could we use an extra body for the playoffs?
Lets face it his career is over, why waste a roster spot?
or
Am I totally off base here?

I wish people would/could leave politics out of a Steelers Football Forum.

another AA/AS original.
If they don't expect him to be ready then there is no reason to keep his seat warm. The question is how ready he will be when he returns to health. Also, does he reclaim his starting spot upon return? That might be the bigger question.
put him on IR, then when he's "healthy" again this spring and everyone starts talking about how awesome he is, trade him to the redskins for a 3rd rounder.
that would be a savvy move right there boys...

If there is any possible way that Marvel could play in January, he would be a better option to carry as injury insurance instead of having to plug in Essex as a starter if something were to happen to Starks or Colon, then realizing that you are just one play away from having Parquet or Hills entering the game.![]()
If Roquan Smith falls to late teens, trade 1.28 & 2.60 to SEA for 1.18 & 4.120:
1.18 LB Roquan Smith
3.92 FS Jessie Bates
4.120 RB Royce Freeman
5.148 DT Ken Norton
5.165 TE Chris Herndon
7.220 WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling
7.246 OT Brett Toth
If not:
1.28 LB Leighton Vander Esch
2.60 C/G Billy Price
3.92 FS Jessie Bates
5.148 DT Ken Norton
5.165 TE Chris Herndon
7.220 RB Ito Smith
7.246 WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling
as they well should. if there's a chance he could play in January, you'd rather have him available. they're not going to find a FA as good as he can be. and the team is getting by now without him.Originally Posted by MeetJoeGreene
is it better to have "a body" today, or a starter in January?

2. Justin Reid, S, Stanford
he's a free agent, so we can't trade him....Originally Posted by steelcityrules!!
Well said.Originally Posted by RuthlessBurgher
It's not like everybody on the OL dresses for every game anyway. There is no real need to add somebody else to the roster right now, so I'd rather hold out to see if he can contribute later. I just consider him kind of like Hills. Except that I think that Smith actually has a possibility of contributing to the team.
