Rumors about possible trade of this corner with us being in the mix. Not a lot of info out on if it's serious or not. Interesting option for sure.

I read this as well...
Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.
Why would we consider this when our cornerback situation is rock solid?
In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:
TCFCLTC-
The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher
Seriously, I cannot for the life of me see how this will happen since he already signed a 17 million dollar franchise offer.
How can we negotiate a reasonable contract when he has that as leverage. Its worse than Bell.
Only chance is if he wants a SB badly, sees himself as the missing piece with a team like ours, and will take huge financial hit to get a ring

It would have to be a sign-and-trade deal or the numbers simply don't work.
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.
My guess is that L.A. was exploring trying to add a wideout and were willing to part with a corner. We had a surplus of wideouts and were interested in Johnson. But then the Rams got WR Sammy Watkins for a package including CB E.J. Gaines instead. So this is possibility is likely dead now after today's trade with Buffalo.
But what if we both wanted to swap out disgruntled franchise players if L.A. would be willing to give Bell the RB1-WR2 money he wants and we could give Trumaine Johnson the opportunity to win that wasn't happening with the Rams if he'd be willing to accept the long-term contract we offered Le'Veon already. Perhaps some kind of deal highlighted by, say, Trumaine Johnson and Todd Gurley going to Pittsburgh and Le'Veon Bell and Ross Cockrell going to Los Angeles. Just spitballing. Would the multi-year deadline limitation for franchise tagged players still apply if those players were traded to new teams?
