Coty Sensabaugh

"I was watching some film with Coach [Keith] Butler from my Tennessee days and the film is pretty much exactly the same, just different terminology,” Sensabaugh said. “And so I’m looking forward to being in this system that I’m comfortable and familiar with and hopefully it can bring out the best in me.”

Why not just re-sign LeBeau? Longevity?

He was a 4th round draft pick out of Clemson in 2012 by the Titans. He's now 28 years old and is 5'11" and 187 lbs. Started 29 games in his 5 year NFL career. After 4 seasons in Tennessee, he signed a 3 year deal with the Rams worth $15 million a year agp but was cut last October and finished the season with the Giants. His career highlight is intercepting Jameis Winston's first NFL pass and taking it back for a TD.

Interesting. I noticed the word 'highlight' was singular, not plural. .... was that a typo?

I'm hoping for the best, but if he didnt work out in LeBeaus system down in Tennessee, hows he going to produce in Butlers?

[Slapstick]

He did produce in LeBeau's system...his production got him signed away by the Rams...where he didn't produce...

Coty Sensabaugh sounds like a good Yinzer name. If he wasn't a CB I would have just assumed he was a white guy.

That's Slingin' Sammy Baugh.

Sensabaugh is not really impressive in any regard, IMO. Basically a little more athletic version of Willie Gay, with inferior technique. Hard to see how this does much to improve the secondary. Can't see him getting much action anywhere except in slot coverage, where I'm not sure he is really any better than Gay. Hopefully, I'm wrong, or the Steelers can coach him up.

Contract numbers are in. Per Ian Whetstone, it's a 2 year, $2.6 million dollar deal. Base salaries of $775k this year and $1.4 million next year, with $425k guaranteed.

If he works out this year, he has a reasonable deal as a slot guy next year. If not, the Steelers can dump him with little impact.

I think he's getting less than what the Steelers paid Justin Gilbert last year, so that's some consolation.

Yeah, in the trade, we inherited the year that was left on his rookie deal, and he was a top 10 overall pick. It's not as bad as it was in the Sam Bradford era, but it was still more than this. These numbers are reasonable for Sensabaugh, considering the Rams were willing to give him a 3 year, $15 million contract a year ago.

Then thats something to look forward to.
