    Will anything happen today?

    I'm out of the country (+6 hours) so getting a head start?

    Will we get a new WR today?

    Impact pick up?

    The Chiefs gave up conditional 5th for Hopkinson...and he delivered two TDs on Monday night football.

    I'd still love to get Courtland Sutton and wouldn't mind giving a 3rd round pick for him.

      I don't think any trade happens with the Steelers. We stand pat.
      Help me find my post proving I am a Yinzer!

        Sutton is the Broncos #1 WR. No way they trade him and leave a rookie QB without a big target. And Denver is still very much in the mix for a wildcard.

        btw, who is the non-believer in the Steelers now?

            I think it's always safer to bet against a trade than for one.

              Lions got Zadarius Thomas from Browns -- all the contenders are improving, at least on paper, for the stretch run.

                Are we focussing too much on WR? PFF IDL grades:

                Heyward: 91.0
                Ogunjobi: 48.5
                Benton: 66.0
                Loudermilk: 43.3
                Adams: 51.0
                Lowry: 30.2

                Not sure who is available but outside of Cam we're not getting too much and we've been run on. Better teams on the schedule upcoming.

                  If we're going to make a trade, might be smarter, at this point, to go for an OT or OLB

                  that said, I wouldn't be surprised if we pulled the trigger on a deal for Adam Thielen from the Panthers

                    I've turned my hopes to RT over WR for now (but will be happy with either). I'll also be happy with a DL who can help shut down the run game.

                      After reading this writeup on how miserable Jones has been, I'm right there with you:

                      OT Broderick Jones
                      If you’re hearing the name of offensive linemen during a national television broadcast and it’s not a Tush Push, it’s typically because someone in the trenches has screwed up royally. Every week, Broderick Jones is gaining notoriety for his atrocious pass blocking. Jones’ seven sacks allowed and 21 pressures in eight starts is a testament to how much regression has been identified in his play since his rookie year when he allowed 24 pressures and five sacks in 11 starts. Jones' grade of 46.4 overall from Pro Football Focus ($) ranks 113th out of 126 tackles.

                      Jones was originally drafted in the first round out of the University of Georgia to play left tackle, but the Steelers opted to break him in on the opposite side to take advantage of his potential as a high-quality run blocker. He shifted back to right tackle after rookie Troy Fautanu was lost for the season and has continued his downward spiral. If there’s any long-term hope for Jones to justify his draft status, it will likely be at his original left tackle position, which is currently being held down by Dan Moore.

                      With any luck, Jones spent his bye week visiting a mentalist who could trick his brain into believing his right was left and left was right, Pittsburgh could be cooking with hot grease. Unfortunately, Jones has been blocking like he’s sliding on hot grease through the first half of the schedule. During the Steelers' Monday Night Football win over the Giants, Jones committed a facemask penalty on the opening drive that negated a George Pickens touchdown.
                      And SD says that Benton has been bad in the second half of games. Apparently his one pass rush move has been solved by OL.

                          Jerrah is probably the worst GM in the league.

                            THE WR I WANTED THE LEAST!

                            The Pittsburgh Steelers ([url]https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/_/name/pit/pittsburgh-steelers[/url]) have agreed to a trade with the New York Jets ([url]https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/_/name/nyj/new-york-jets[/url]) to acquire wide receiver Mike Williams ([url]https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3045138/mike-williams[/url]), a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.

                            The Jets will receive a 2025 fifth-round pick from Pittsburgh, the source told Schefter.

                            "Mike's a good guy, he'll be good in that locker room," Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers ([url]https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/8439/aaron-rodgers[/url]) said Tuesday on "The Pat McAfee Show.

                              Mike Williams was a 1st rounder back in 2017. Had some good years. Gone over 1000 yards twice. Last year he only played in 3 games.

                              Jets really not using him at all this season. 12 receptions on 21 targets for 166 yards. Zero TDs.
