I really wanted bell to miss a few weeks so Connor could get his chance and prove we don't need bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the only problem, but if Connor stayed healthy and got a fair chance, we would be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correction: every team has the same problem if the starter is holding it and the backup gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VigilantZombie Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Let me ask you guys something. This is based on a highly unrealistic pipe dream. How much would Earl Thomas cost on a new contract? What would it cost to get him via trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id guess a conditional 3rd which can be a 2nd based off of how far Steelers go into postseason in the 2018 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds cliche but your guess as good as mine. No reason to clear more cap room unless something coming down pipe...they already had $5 mill in cap room for in season crap and emergency signings. A guess is maybe a Big Ben extension but that usually reduces that years cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ik S isnt necessarily a need but with Burnett injured it could be one. Now I think LB would be a more pressing need but that doesnt mean thats what the FO thinks. Also...what about WR or TE? (Dez or...idk who is available at TE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
