....does that mean they will sign Sanders?

They could have brought sanders in to just show Llyod that he won't get what he wants. Could just be using sanders to lower Lloyd's salary when they bring him back. If they do sign sanders I would be fine with an additional third rounder. Everyone can be replaced.LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS!
Here We Go Steelers!

Patriots have so few draft picks, it would seem unlikely they give up their 3rd as well. I think this was a leverage move by the Patsys. I may be in the minority, but I like Sanders and hope he stays. Filling one WR spot will be tough enough. I hope his injuries are behind him.1. C.J. Mosley LB Alabama
2. Jordan Matthews WR Vanderbilt
3. (comp) Philip Gaines CB Rice
4. Arthur Lynch TE Georgia
5. Ross Cockrell CB Duke
5. (comp) Derrick Hopkins DT Virginia Tech
6. Josh Mauro DE Stanford
6. (comp) Shaquil Barrett OLB Colorado State
7. Quincy Enunwa WR NebraskaComment

Boy! The Patophiles are really playing chicken with this particular draft.
It appears that Sanders left NE without signing the sheet (the last time I checked). But so what if he did? The 3rd round is where championship teams are built. I dislike that the Steelers would be apparently thin at WR if he left. But this draft has lots of talent beyond the 4th round at that position, so it is likely the Steelers could pick up a WR (or, maybe, even two) on the third day and that might be sufficient for our need. We'll see.Steelers...On The STAIRWAY TO SEVEN!!!

I vote he stays also...the draft is hit or miss--Probably about a 40% chance that 3rd rounder will net us any production at all. Sanders can be a solid #2 potentially and has a year under his belt.
Our 3rd rounders over the years: C Brown, S Spence,Urbik, Wallace, E Sanders, Max Starks, K Lewis, Bruce Davis, Matt Spaeth--We actually have done pretty well in the 3rd--Still to risky though.Comment

Chadman suspects that losing Sanders will be the bigger kick in the teeth loss than nearly every other FA loss the Steelers have had, simply because Chadman suspects the Steelers have been counting on Sanders being part of the 2013 team, unlike all the other guys they knew they couldn't re-sign.
Half jokingly said it the other day, but if Sanders moves on, Steelers should maybe kick the tyres of Randy Moss, then draft a couple of athletic WR's to develop for a year.The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?

If we would happen to lose Sanders anyone think the Steelers could get Victor Butler back in for a deal? We would have the tender money offered to Sanders plus what they were willing to sign Butler with in the first place in order to possibly get a deal done.
I hope we keep Sanders as I stated, but the signing of Butler might be a decent trade-off especially when you consider the draft.
Drafting an OLB who could start is almost out of the question because of the learning curve in the complicated LeBeau defense, but a receiver has a better shot of getting playing time and possibly bumping either Plax or Cotchery through the course of the season if he's good enough.
Now you would have an OLB with some NFL experience already and no need to draft one early if at all giving more options in other positions.
Butler could compete with Worlids and worse case senario be a legitiment backup in case of injury and more game ready than a draft pick and probably better than Carter.
Just a thought.sigpicComment
