Tepper was a minority owner before buying the Panthers.

This is how Billionaires get their foot in the door before buying a team.
 
Does anybody know if the new generation of Rooney's are involved with the Steelers? Does Art II have any children involved? Who's taking over?

In all my years of following the Steelers( close to 60) I have never seen such a revamp of a roster. Well Chuck Noll did blow it up a little back in what 69 but they only won a couple games. I have been thinking the last couple of years that Art II is going to sell the team. No more Heinz field and such a roster blowup. Going for broke in 2023. We have abandoned the home grown talent path.

Pretty sure there's another Rooney on the Steelers staff. Don't ask me who though.

The things you can do when you have cap room and a new GM.

I would say 1974 draft was a revamp of a roster

And not paying elite qb money. Which I guess is part cap room but different than say the 2012-13 teams that were saddled with big contracts for aging players from chasing another ring.
 
I don?t think this happened.

Um yes it did. Another minority owner nearly bought Art Rooney II out. He'd have to sell his majority ownership to him. What was offered I do not know. The stadium should be named Art Rooney ( the chief ) that is if money did not matter.

That was "homegrown", what we did this year is more like bring in mercenary talent to go for broke.
I suppose the window with a cheap QB is short. That is what we are going for.

The NFL is changing, it resembles Major League baseball , the way all the rosters are being shuffled.
I don't like it.
At least the NFL doesn't have the New York Yankees and the LA Dodgers to hog up all the talent.

I just have a intuition that like all other things of tradition, the Rooney's are selling the Steelers. They are cooking the books to maximize the sale price.

if you are talking about 2008 that was Rooney vs this family when they had to sell their shares due to having betting machines

What mercenary talent did they bring in? Peterson? Robinson? Both on the back half of their careers. The Rams brought in mercenary talent, the Steelers tried make up for draft misses and departing players.

King, Sullivan, Herbig, Semula(sp), Petersen, Robinson, another CB?, and others. How many on our roster played for others?

I'm not saying that's bad , I'm saying it's was not the Steeler way. Art II is changing it up that's all. I like tradition. Like I said above it's getting like Baseball.

My intuition tells me Art II is going for broke. Companies always cook the books before a stock offering or before they are acquired. Owners what to maximize value. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Or they could just be trying to win. Build a team around your franchise QB while he is on a rookie contract

cook the books? c’mon, this is just a franchise who has a QB on a rookie contract, cap space and 6 years since a playoff win.

The front office wants to win games dude. That’s it.

dude said “cook the books” like we are doing something shady.

We just have more money than we have had in a long time and a nice amount of players on rookie contracts.
