Kupp runneth over?

[feltdizz]

Kupp is available. Rams just let him know he was on the trade block.

Does he pass a physical?

[Prowler]

Too old, makes too much money and Kupp's production keeps declining. I'll pass.

sounds like you're taking the Kupp is half-empty approach

Was just about to post the same exact thing.

Great minds think alike...

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

For reference, Kupp's contract remaining

2025 - $20M ($12.5m guaranteed as of Mar 15th)
2026 - $19.85M

His play is on the edge of completely falling off a cliff entering the tender age of 32.

I wouldn't even look his way, let alone entertain throwing money into a fire pit.

Not only is this true, even if it wasn’t, does anyone seriously think this guy would go from McVay and Stafford to Tomlin and Fields?

[Buzz]

He would be an immediate upgrade to our WR corps

But my two biggest concerns would be:
1) Can he stay healthy?
2) Could we get him for substantially less than his current contract?

If the answer to those questions is "YES," I'd be all for pursuing him
it it's "NO," I'd be looking elsewhere for a WR

[whatever]

It would be wasting money and kicking the wr can down the road.

I honestly think they’re fine with their WRs. Will not be a bit surprised if we ignore the position in the draft and free agency.

Disagree.

The WR position will be addressed in free agency and/or early in the draft.

[SS Laser]

I second that. Pickens is on his way out. Keep drafting wr’s till one sticks. Hope to find a QB for that time also.

[WindyCitySteel]

I hope you’re both right, I’d love to see Pickens traded for picks.

My only question is where he'll be when the Steelers are ready to seriously compete. I don't think that's this season and every year forward is a greater risk of injury and age catching up to him. It's a pass for me. I'm normally against committing to anyone over about 27-28 unless you think that he's the missing piece to making a run. That means no 30 year olds being signed for me this year, unless it is just a one-year deal to plug a hole.

[Northern_Blitz]

Good when he can play.

But misses a **** ton of games.

Not a good decision for a team that's rebuilding IMO.

But if it only costs something like $12.5MM (Dave's prediction from the Depot), then not terrible I guess. Especially since we have only one NFL quality WR.

On par with the Williams deal last year I guess. Meh.
