    It depends what level tender their teams give them. If it is the lowest tender, we wouldn't owe the Bucs or Falcons anything if we signed them, since they both came into the league as undrafted free agents (althought Tampa and Atlanta would have the option to match our deal and keep them). If they went with a higher tender, we could owe draft compensation, so I doubt that would happen.
    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.

        Khalif Barnes is on Sirius right now. He sounds like an intriguing prospect. Not sure why the Jags don't want him back...seems they are just wanting to dump salaries I guess (with the Taylor slashing as well). So I imagine Barnes will be out of our price range as well? He sounds like a tough player, proclaiming he's only missed 4 practices in his tenure there, and never really missed a game. Actually even played on a broken fibula against Seymore and the Cheaters a few years back. Tough kinda Steeler guy it sounds to me...and the hosts were having some good stuff to say about him. However I know nothing about his technique and how "good" he is, is he someone that would fit with our team, or are we just as well off with Starks?

            I would have no problem with Barnes instead of Starks. I think Carey & Barnes are realistic. Both will get more elsewhere if they look. It might come down to playing for a winner. Barnes looked like he was the next franchise LT since Boselli in Jacksonville. He came on early starting 3/4 of his rookie season and has been solid on the left side. He is one of those "Needs a change of scenery" players who could re-spark his career somewhere else. Got in the doghouse after an incident with a DUI and calling the arresting officer a racist. Very ugly situation. Might need to leave that behind him and start fresh somewhere else. I think he would come at the same price as Carey. Both are solid and honestly...An upgrade over Starks!

                Thanks for that breakdown...knew the name but nothing about his game.

                Anyway, he sounds like he has some serious fire and has a lot of confidence in his game. Hopefully he gets a good look from us. If only so that I can bring a sign to the game that says, "Hey Santonio, Spark the Khalif"

                    Only right if we sign him. The Jags stole Searcy from us!!!!
