Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.
Yeah, if you want DeCastro around for the long haul, there is no reason for him to have a one-year $8 million deal...

I know many of you want to dump Cortez but I'd like to give him a shot as a FS. His confidence as a corner is gone and he has been horrible playing with his back to the ball but a move to FS might be the ticket for him. He's shown flashes that he has talent, has a nose for the football, and is physical. I think he would benefit from the move much like McCourty in New England. Then we would be able to move Mitchell to the SS position which I think is where he belongs. I'm not that impressed with him as the FS.
If he looks lost in pre-season at that position we can still give him the boot.
I like your thinking Ike...
Lets hope they give him that chance.
I agree on Mitchell
If the team brings back Blake (in spite of the protest of many fans, I think that could happen), I would be interested to see what he can do at safety. Sure, he's undersized there, but so was Bob Sanders. For all of his shortcomings, dude is not afraid to come up and lay a lick on someone. Hopefully his hand heals and that improves his overall tackling ability. And he'd have decent ball skills back there in center field (provided that he doesn't hold the ball like a loaf of bread on INT returns).

This quote is from a PG followup article to the one posted in the OP and is a quote from II.
“We've made some mistakes. There's no denying that, regarding some of the evaluations. Having said that, we still have players in that group that we think can improve. That's what we are looking forward to: Having that group get better as the years go on. That's what we are looking for this upcoming offseason.”

IDK That just sounds a bit too standpatish to me. I would rather hear--- we are going to pick up a couple top quality FA DB's and then also draft pretty high the best secondary players the staff can come up with. Add that to what we got and go from there.
That done we focus on front 7 depth. [I can't post a link to the article because when I went back to do it they required a registering and log in.?]
It appears being "more active" means signing an undrafted cast off scrub from the Bears. Smh.
Yeah, look at all the free agents the Steelers have missed out on this offseason!
There have been some huge free agent signings in the week before the SB...it's a shame the Steelers couldn't take part...
