If cut we should sign this guy...

[SMASHMOUTHFOOTBALL]

Reggie Bush.....I think he could have much to prove... let go a little to pre-mature and want to go to a winner.

We need another weapon for Ben. He could line up as wideout or as a 3rd down back and spell Mendy.

If cut sign him for a 3 year--15 million deal if he would bite I think he can be had for a decent price. Thoughts?

Too much buck for the bang.

Re: If cut we should sign this guy...

When healthy he's one of the most exciting players in football. But he's one of those guys who seems to always be injured. Not sure its worth the risk.

I think with Ben's ability to improvise and get on the move Reggie Bush would have the opportunity to be ridiculous. However you definitely don't break the bank for the guy. I don't think I'd go 5 million per but who knows what kind of interest he'll garner. He'd be one hell of a 3rd down back with Ben under center. Although it's not a Steeler type move.

Not for 5 mil per, more like 2-2.5 mil per. Bush is a 3rd down back/return guy. 5 mil is starter money for a RB.

No thanks. Bush is probably one of the most over-hyped players in the history of the NFL. Let someone else overpay for him.

We should sign:

Ike Taylor
LaMarr Woodley
Troy Polamalu
Lawrence Timmons
Mike Wallace

Any outside free agents that we sign will be minor role players.

stop trying to ruin the board with your pragmatism

now, let's go sign nnamdi and ike. actually, if we could sign ike and nnamdi, maybe we could let some of the guys on your list walk. troy's oft injured and becoming more like bob sanders daily. woodley and timmons have loads of LBs behind them that I think could step up and be good ones. and wrs are a dime a dozen.

there are very few guys like ike and nnamdi out there. we could just give nnamdi troy's contract because he doesn't have troy's health issues.

...and that is how you build a winning organization. Establish priorities to keep your own proven performers and build through the draft.

Here is an interesting hypothetical for you: If Troy have another season where he misses games due to injuries, do you resign him? Definitely one of the greatest Steelers ever but that could be a high risk signing.

Troy's 2009 season was ruined by injury (only played in 5 games). Other than that, he's played in 16, 16, 16, 13, 11, 16, and 14 games.

He's not approaching Bob Sanders levels (who played in 6, 14, 4, 15, 6, 2, 1 games).

He's an awesome talent but I don't think Arians is smart enough to utilize him like Payton did.

Re: If cut we should sign this guy...

Arians would try and turn him into an HBack. And the local beat writers would talk about Arians pony package every other day.
