    Bell will be locked in by the tag. No movement by us whatsoever in free agency (not even management reaching out and requesting a player to visit) tells us that we are really up against it. We haven’t even seen second tier guys.

    I’m not expecting any FA movement until after the draft. If then.

      Mathieu signed with the Texans for a year. Next up, Tre Boston or Kenny Vaccaro.
      Post of the year!

      If Honeybadger signed for 7, looks like we can add either one of these two, trade for Kendricks, and still fill up some depth in FA.

        I expected him to sign for more money.

        I think tr FO waits for the dust to settle before grabbing Boston or Reid.

          I'm sort of relieved we didn't sign Mathieu. When fully healthy, he was a tremendous player, but there are too many questions about his health and return to form.

          Still hope we get more of a FS type, and leave Davis at SS.

            It is like where i read somewhere, High risk, all in or nothing... I think that is why if we signed him we needed an above average back up as a back up plan.

              Might explain why the Texans got him for $7M. If you have to invest the $$$ to have "an above average backup," it might be hard to justify paying Mathieu elite-player money.

                If Honey Badger signed for 1 year at $7 mill I wonder what we could get for Vaccaro or Boston?

                I stil think Reid may be a great fit even though a few people will boycott due to his knee touching the ground.

                  i cant believe grown men( i am lead to believe) can have such a man love infatuation on a certain coach and player
                  I assume that you’re talking about the players on the team. That is the only thing you could mean that isn’t complete nonsense.
                  Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                    Squid cant believe Steeler fans love the players and the coach.

                        Colts cut DL Jonathan Hankins today. Didn't see that one coming.

                          I really never thought about bringing him on board, due to his age and him probably wanting to get paid. But think you are right, I think he has to be shooting up the Steelers FA big board. Another player that we should be looking at, is Suh. He still can play, demanding double teams. He is that run stuffer that Rooney wants, would keep our ILB cleaner and faster. But at what price and how big of a jerk is he?

                          Flavor of the day, first the Honeybadger now him...


                          This why we don't jump into FA , there are a lot of good players still available that could fit our schemes and strengthen our weaknesses.

                                They caught everyone sleeping, signing him on a Sunday! Maybe we signed him to get Johnathan Hankins telephone number!
