    Jerious Norwood Please!

    When looking at FA for this year i saw Jerious Norwood and have always liked him. I believe he could come cheap and be a great addition to RM for a 1-2 punch. LETS GET BACK TO THE RUN!
    Any other FA you would like to see the Steelers draft please list here.....

    At the right price, I wouldn't hate that. Though, what's _WP's (no more F in his name... the F was dropped in '07) situation? I really would doubt whether any team (though I guess stupidity knows no bounds) would give him big money at this point in his career. I would probably say Norwood has more miles in the tank than _WP, but if we could keep Willie on the cheap, I'd probably lean that way.

    He is (still) a serviceable backup IMO.
    I wasn't hired for my disposition.

      Just say no to Parker. The guy has lost his top end speed. Yeah, he is still fast but he still lacks vision, power, hands etc.

      I don't see a big advantage of picking up Norwood. We have Moore. If we want an upgrade we will need to do it through the draft.
      Trolls are people too.

        Norwood is always hurt...not sure we could trust him to be healthy. And when I say healthy, I understand he is a running back and likely will miss a game here or there...but he misses chunks of time or is constantly playing hurt.

          I think Jerome Harrison of the Browns could be a FA. I've liked him since his college days.

              After rushing for 286, 148, and 127 yards with 5 TD's in the final 3 games of the season (even if it was against K.C., Oakland, and Jacksonville), Harrison saw his value go up tenfold.
              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.

                  Nah...he's only been in the league 3 years. If he is a free agent this offseason, he'd be a restricted free agent. He needs at least 4 years of service under his belt to reach unrestricted free agency (if there is a CBA) or 6 years of service under his belt to reach unrestricted free agency (if there is no CBA).

                    No way Baltimore let's us have a crack at McClain anyway... I think we try to get fWP on the cheap. I use the lower case f because he showed some pop in limited action. He is still a guy who can get to the second level if you block for him.

                      if there is no new CBA, Norwood, Harrison, and McClain will all be RFAs and easily retained by their clubs. The only FAs will be older players with 6+ years of service. This will not be a good year at all for FAs
                      Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.

                        Mike Bell or Leonard Weaver seem like Steeler FA signings to me & they are both tough between the tackles.
                        It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...

                          Parker is a fine compliment to Mendy.

                              If the Browns let him go (they'd be foolish to do so, IMO), then I think he'll command big money based on the way he ended the season -- perhaps more than he is worth.

                              I've always liked Norwood -- he has been on of my fantasy sleepers for about 3 years now -- but he seems to be hurt almost every year.

                              If Moore, who is going into the last year of his deal, is going to stick around as the veteran of the group, I'd like to see the Steelers snag somebody young later in the draft.
