    Colbert and FA pt II

    Hey yinzer think we make a splash on the first day? Or hear any noise today ( Sunday were we can legally contact FA)

    Do we make that move for Mosley to secure that we have a ILB?

    Do we go after the best WR in FA T. Williams?

    Do we go after the best Box-Hybird LB/SAFETY IN COLLINS?

    Here we go STEELERS!

    Would like to see us address an area of need fairly soon... so that we have a clearer picture of what route we are going to go in the draft. Would like to see a quality CB picked up in FA... and then maybe go ILB in round 1. Or, if we go the other way around, take G. Williams or B. Murphy in round 1.

      Ernie, I’m with you. I’ve got a really bad taste in my mouth right now after this AB fiasco. If we went and locked in CJ Mosley, that would pep us all up a bit.

        Golden Tate Tweeted at the Steelers after AB left.

        All I can say is if the STEELERS want to turn things around this season they need to make some progress thru Free Agency.

        There's nothing wrong with bringing in some talent who've proven they can play in this league.

          Id love to see us not pay Dupree 9 million for this year and go get a real OLB....
          Za'Darius Smith would be a perfect player but teams with tons of cap space are going to throw $$$$ at him.
          Preston Smith is another nice player but once again is probably going to get big $$$
          Mosely is going to be too expensive IMO for a two down backer.
          Collins is going to command a big contract and there's a lot of safeties available.
          I'd really like to get a solid CB in Free agency, but who w/o breaking the bank?
          Rashaan Melvin might be an interesting pickup.

            Mosley n Collins because they were let go prior to their contracts ending would not offset the loss of Bell so they could be high on the list. Mosley would be huge in an area where we are so weak n a minus to the ravens.

                  I listed those players as options. I am not against Mosley but only to replace VW.

                  Just wonder were we are heading....

                  TATE would be awesome. Juju and him would make a nice duo along with the rest of the gang. No one will replace AB, but Tate would do a damn good job keeping this offense top 5.

                  And then we could focus on D and depth in the draft.

                    Tate was lobbying this morning for us to approach him. I think it was on twitter.

                      Those two should be high on list, but i want our FIRST OPTION TATE. We can square up the O then go to D

                      Mosley as upgrade to VW.

                      Collins upgrade to Burnet.

                      If we get any of those 3 we are legit....

                        27 hrs to free agency. I think the Steelers wait till the dust settles after Day 1.... then swoop in.

                          Drew Rosenhaus is on the NFL network gloating at how he’s bent Colbert over the headboard.

                            The Steelers got bent hard on this deal and the culture has changed.

                              Golden Tate would be a great 2 yr. VET to help JW and JUJU.
                              Otherwise it's fully up to JW becoming a star WR.
