    Wow. It didn't say what they got in return. Draft picks maybe?

      4th and a 5th
      Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

      Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

      We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

      We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

          Nice haul for a guy they'd probably have to cut.

              I disagree.

              Ngata is a special player. Worth far more than a 4th and 5th.

              As far as who will make out like bandits-time will tell.

                    why do i feel as we are still bigger losers in FA compared to the rest of AFCN. I should be happy happy with Moats & Spaeth signing, which was is Steeleristic! ( is that a legit word?)

                      Clearly you have learned nothing following the Steelers since FA era started. They rarely are active the 1st or even 2nd day of FA. They wait for the dust to settle, and reasonable minds to approach the table. Then they act. Last year was the exception and it is unclear today whether that strategy really ended up paying off for them... (M Mitchell).

                        LOL I know! That is why I said Steeleristic, I was being sarcastic. The ravens lost 4 starters!
