    Wow....ebron

    Looks like we are going for broke.
    Don't understand the McDonald restructure.
    How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

    I didn't want to draft a te. Let's hope this ensures that.

      That seems like a pretty safe bet at this point. This seemed to be considered a weak class for TE's anyway.

        I love this. McDonald and Ebron are solid pair with Gentry developing

        No need to reach for a TE in a weak TE draft class

          Wasnt Ebron a first round pick? What about Wisneiski? Anyway, we have one more first rounder on the offense. That makes 4. Wisneiski would make it 5 if he is a first rounder. Only 6 or 7 to go.

            Definitely an upgrade. Hopefully Ebron doesn’t revert back to the dropsies.

              I love the Ebron signing. Luck showed everybody that Ebron is a real baller. Love this move. Ben finally has that target in a TE he's been missing.

                I really don't get restructuring Vance now. Why not just cut him and sign ebron?
                Steelers rarely use 1 te, now they have 2.

                  They knew Top 13 wasn’t enough.

                  Maybe they didn’t know Ebron was going to be available before restructuring Vance and it was done to create space but they also knew Vance wasn’t the guy?

                    Vance is expendable now. He could be traded and we could pick up an additional draft pick possibly. If not, we've got some depth. Which is something a lot of posters have been crying about at TE.

                      There are a few teams that are thin at TE. Arizona, Wash,Tenn,Jags,Jets and Pats. Of those Jets n Pats have a few extra picks for what it's worth. If somehow Vance was traded I would sign Vannett in a minute. Not sure what Vance would return. A guess would be some kind of mid rounder.

                        He wasn't better last year then Vance was in 2018 so he must suck.
                        Definitely not an upgrade.

                          They were crying but now that we made a good smart move I'm sure they will be complaining

                            I'm thinking we can get at least the 5th round pick we traded to the Ravens back from someone for McDonald.

                              I think you are going to get your wish. This one is OK by me. Ben loves a TE running down the middle seam. This guy can run and catch when he feels like it (blocking not so much).
