    Lamarcus Joyner (FS) from the Rams would be a nice FA addition, but such a move would likely be too rich for the Steelers' blood.

        They talked briefly on Sirius about it.
        I heard someone say if they come to an injury settlement he doesn't count vs. the cap.
        I wish i could find a definitive answer on this but i don't think even the league knows the answer...

          maybe we circle back around and look at tre boston again. he was in for a visit last year

          if we are cutting mitchell as reported, they are bringing a veteran in without a doubt. I don't see how you could draft a rookie and stick him next to Davis and expect alot of success

          sportrac had something like 6/47 as a possible contract #. that may be doable no matter what they do with bell

            Tre Boston wants team he fits in well, can win a Super Bowl

            Safety Tre Boston visited the Chargers, Bills and Steelers last May after the Panthers cut him. He signed a one-year deal with Los Angeles.

            That means he hits free agency again in March, and this time, he is seeking a long-term deal.

            “Of course, L.A. is definitely somewhere I would love to be, but it’s a business,” Boston said on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “Everybody knows how that goes. I want to find somewhere that I fit in well, somewhere that we have a chance of going to the Super Bowl.”

            Boston, 25, played 1,039 of 1,047 snaps in 2017, the most snaps of any of the team’s defenders. He tied for fifth in the NFL with five interceptions.
            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.

              Oh, if they could afford Boston...
              Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                would much prefer a S over ILB if we are able to sign 1 quality FA

                would be much easier to draft a guy like rashaan Evans at ILb and start right away over a rookie safety, imo

                  Agreed, and that's what I think they'll do.

                    Anyone think Davis could play deep?
                    I wonder if thats something on Tomlin's radar?
                    Davis missed a ton of tackles by my recollection

                      They can afford any free agent defender they want if.....we dont pay a certain runningback what he wants.

                      In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

                        Avery Williamson was a fifth-round pick in 2014, but he has evolved into a capable inside linebacker. He can stand to improve in coverage, but he's a dominant run-stuffer.



                        sounds like a replacement for VW, NOT someone you'd want to put beside him...

                          Free Agency begins March 14th...................

                          I can't wait. Because this year seems like there is going to be a ton of key player movement with some teams that have serious cap space.
