    Well then, we either steal a corner from a division rival, or drive up the price it will cost Cincy to keep him. We'll see what happens.
    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.

      MY quick thoughts:

      Colbert and companny never go the draft with out covering all our needs in FA, some won't be a splash but more of a servicable players. Could it be TE Bennet he was pretty good with the Bears and Patriots. I think he will get paid but nothing crazy, he can also spread out play the role of our #2 receiver, and see what happens with Bryant and Coats.

      Money spent on him can be recovered from Greens june 1 st cut.

      As for corner, I think we sill resign Cockrell.

      A.P. now with the Raiders, what are they going to do with Murray, they drafted a RB to replace him last year, but I think got injured. ( can't think of his name) would Murray be on board to take a Williams role.

          Brandon Flowers was just released. I would see if he has anything left. He he use to be a pretty good playmaker. Sorry, but I am not feeling the love for Dre Kirkpatrick. Seems like he just started making plays in his contract year. Prior to that I heard nothing about him. To be honest, I think just about anyone is an upgrade over R. Cockrell. Nothing against the guy, he just seems very average to me.

            Where did you hear about Adrian Peterson to the Raiders? If true, I think I would have seen in somewhere on TV, radio, or the general interwebz.

                Edge rusher Connor Barwin is now available. He seemed to be a better fit as an OLB in a 3-4 than a DE in a 4-3 during his career.

                  All I know is Dre Kilpatrick would be terrible. I saw him get torched so many times the past two seasons...it was not funny. Anything over say a 5 year deal for a total of 100 dollars is a sucker deal.

                    I'd love to see the Steelers pick up Barwin.

                      I don't care for Kilpatrick, either ... so I suppose he's the FA player the Steelers will sign.
