Steelers FA moves...

[squidkid]

Cooper's 4 INT last were more than any Steeler last year (Burns and Shazier each had 3).
He returned on of them for a 60 yard pick six.
Cooper's 11 passes defensed last year were behind Cockrell (14) and Burns (13).
Cooper's 63 solo tackles were more than any Steeler DB last year.

rankings mean nothing. just address your needs with players that fit and have upside

107 out of 120, nice.....
we are screwed if another team is interested.

I haven't seen him play, so I'm not sure what to say. He was also a pro-bowl alternate. So he's either a top 20 or bottom 20 corner, or more likely, somewhere in between.

[Real Deal Steel]

I'll take him; He's better then William Gay.

Patrick Robinson was cut by the Colts today. I know we took a look at him before he signed with the Colts last year. He was mostly injured last year but had a nice 2015 with the Chargers. I'd bring him in for a physical and maybe a 1 year deal.

It doesn't matter who we sign, all we have to do is play is man coverage, nobody can defeat man coverage.

Some people just don't get it.
You don't have to change your whole scheme for one team, but you have to be able to game plan for each team you face on a weekly basis.
Bill Bellicheck understands this and thats why he's so successful.
Even at the youth level i have to tweak my defense vs. the better teams
Square peg, round hole syndrome i tell you

Lets wait until their done with FA before we grade how well the do OK?

No one is grading anything yet, ok?
I've been a fan for a long time and i understand what we do during the free agency period as well as anyone does.
We have cap space and a glaring need at CB. No need to browse the garbage pile this year for a CB.

I'll take him; He's better then William Gay.

I am not sure, how much do we save cutting Gay, 5 million? I think it sounds way too much? I am thinking that I am confusing his cut with the amount cutting Green.

Does anyone know with all th e projected cuts? Gay, Green? How much are we expected to save?

You realize that we have 3 day two picks this year as well, right?

We got Sean Davis and Javon Hargrave on day two last year, and this year's draft appears to be deeper, especially at positions that we intend to be targeting.
