    Let's sign this guy to a futures contract

    We sign all kinds of guys to future contracts. How about Matt Araiza. Kid was done a major wrong and he is probably better off the couch than Harvin. Also, he is only 23 years old.

    Now that his civil suit has been settled (last month), maybe he's in the clear? If so, I'd be for signing him.

    If Ray Lewis could get a job after beating a murder rap, why should this dude not get a second chance?

        SURELY we're not going to stick with Harvin? If nothing else, Wing was/is better.

          Yes, he is 100% in the clear. Proven he wasn’t even present.

          I hope he isn’t getting black- balled.

            Chiefs sign Matt Araiza

            February 22, 2024

            The 2022 sixth-round pick was cut by the Bills after being accused of rape during his rookie year.

                The Steelers have a secret weapon that they're moving up in the draft to get.

                In my opinion this should have been the easiest move they make this off season...oh well.

                  As was his completion the year before that. Is Tomlin's buddy still the special teams coach?
                  Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

                  Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

                  *** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***

                    I could not agree more. How does this team drag their feet and let a guy with that much potential sign elsewhere? Unless the front office reached out to Araiza and he told them to hit the bricks, this smacks of pure idiocy.

                      First class organization doing first class things.

                      The Steelers are just not a serious organization right now.

                        don't worry ... Tomlin is planning to bring Harvin back on a cheaper deal

                          Missed opportunity, however I think the Chiefs punter, Tommy Townsend, is pretty good so may be someone to grab if released. He had 47 yard average

                            I had a post about this a while ago, but there is currently a podcast called the Raven about the Lewis murders.

                              Maybe we were.

                              But it's not the draft or the waiver wire and he gets to pick where he goes.
