ThatТs not what the Steelers told him. See the article. And the contract given would suggest that he is telling the truth.

They won't bench Wallace to let ARE play. They won't be trading Holmes or Ward. Whatever ARE said...or whatever the numbers say...Tomlin and Co. are not that stupid. What is possible is Ward has said he is done after this season. Then they slide Wallace over and allow ARE to play the slot. This makes the most amount of sense.

I am not saying that Shawn. Read the article again. Why is ARE saying the Steelers signed him to play the #3 WR role? He has put up numbers to suggest he is a little more than a #4. Think about it.[/quote:21kkqwc7]

Already did. I already explained why he is saying it. I believe Ward's days of playing are either over or over very soon. But no one is being traded and Wallace isn't sitting the bench...those two things I'm fairly certain about.

Can he play CB

Re: Randle ElЕ.the NUMBER 3?

The real question is, Can he play Center?

Wallace isnt going anywhere but up.....Either Hines is hurt and they dont know if he can return to a full time role or Holmes is going to be traded or they lied to ARE to get him to sign.

Re: Randle ElЕ.the NUMBER 3?

Because Chadman doesn't like to discount any theories until proven wrong, trading Santonio isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

Remember- the Steelers have reportedly shown interest in Golden Tate in this draft...Wallace proved to be a burner...El could be #3...Battle is Ward-Lite....

Seattle has been considering signing RFA Brandon Marshall to an offer sheet, meaning that they are not afraid of WR's with checkered pasts and they would be willing to give up the #6 overall pick to get one. If Eric Berry were available at #6, I would be willing to trade Santonio for the #6 pick straight up. That would make Clark an expensive backup once Berry was ready for prime time (but we could always trade him to the Dolphins, who wanted him in the first place). Then I'd draft a WR with a mid round pick such as David Reed or Jordan Shipley to compete with Sweed for the #5 spot behind Ward, Wallace, Randle El, and Battle.

is it too crazy to think we told ARE what he wanted to hear to get him on our roster?

We have enough packages and throw the ball enough for ARE to feel like he is a #3.

OK, since ARE came out and said what he did, can we surmise that it is because:

1) ARE is not really that bright and forgot to ask about guys named Ward, Holmes and Wallace that might be ahead of him on the depth chart?

2) He knows something that we don't and he is silly enough to divulge the secret that he will be #3 because someone in front of him is leaving?

3) He thinks he is better than Mike Wallace and will earn the #3 spot over him?

I like this theory, and hope you are correct.
