Can he wait until late in the season again to sigh the transition tag ? Yes but why? It allows other teams to make him offers. Some team like the Jets will put in a poison pill that says his entire contract is fully guaranteed if he plays 8 games in the state of Pennsylvania and the Steelers may let him walk.

jebrick Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I thought that was the case but was not sure. The point is that the sooner he signs the sooner other clubs can make him offers and he can see that he should have taken the 13.5M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 If he doesn't report this season when he said the 2nd time (like now?) can the steelers pull the tag and let him walk into UFA? Then trade a 2nd and a 5th for Peterson21 Trade dupree and burns for Brandon Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're getting laughed off the phone with both of those offers. The peterson offer is what I read, and I laughed when I read that. I thought for sure a 1st and then some, but when I read this, I thought I may as well post it. The Graham deal though, is more far fetched since dupree has the 5th year option obligation and well, we know about burns who really has had issues this season but maybe a new team will help him out. Graham, Watt and Adeyini should help the pass rush . We know that Peterson and Haden could be a way of making QB's forget passing that way. If you don't want AB returning punts, then we have the option of Peterson, not too bad is it? Leave Peterson and Haden alone, let the help cover the TE's and the middle of the field. Or of course, blitz more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 You don't want a #1 WR returning punts but the #1 CB is ok? Especially when we got someone already doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They better trade for Peterson, thats all I know because Bell will be gone, and Peterson will help the team more and will be for a few more years.

Chieferific Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I think we need to get off the Peterson thing. The Cardinals called the idea of trading him ludicrous and even if he was available a lot of teams would be interested and the Steelers have lower draft picks (usually) and rarely are the team that gives up the most to get anybody.

43M Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Yeah, not sure why anyone would even remotely believe we would trade for Peterson. Steelers might inquire, but wouldnt pull the trigger based on the obviously crazy price it would cost. Some team would easily trade two first round picks or equivalent value. Even if LeVeon Bell was tradeable, the Cards dont need a RB...and that would be the most likely route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 To me, unless the Eagles are the team that trades for Bell, and Brandon Graham or Ronald Darby could be possible targets from them, I dont see how we trade him at all. Idk, it might actually be possible to trade Burns, Bell, Dupree and acquire Graham, Darby, and a pick. Thats extremely unlikely and nothing has suggested theyre even considering trading Bud or Artie.

3rivers Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Connor filled in rather well for a back up. Too bad we 2 games that were out of control and with no rushing attack as a result this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chieferific Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Seems like Bucannon is more likely to be traded then PP. He doesn't fit into their future scheme. He's really light but he could fill that "Shazier" and/or Coverage LB role but those front 3 would really have to be stout and Bostic/VW would have to excel at plugging holes. Could be done tho.

Could be done tho. 2 topics I am tired of are : 1. replacing shazier/ how the D fell apart after he got hurt. Our schedule also was more difficult after that, many don't bring that up for some reason . 2. we can't win SB without Bell Last I checked neither of those players won SB's , and other teams found ways to win without. While these players were great, the team must move on and find other ways just as other teams do. This is almost like a tail chasing , not quite as absurd as "finding the the next LT", but similar. Did BB keep trying to find another LT and design his D around that? I would trade 2 RD2 picks and then some players for Peterson, preferably burns and dupree. If we trade RD1 pick, that might seem logical since we can't draft RD1 on D anyways, takes the pressure off colbert. Cards don't need dupree and I doubt anyone would want burns. Do you think anyone would take burns? I can't believe ereck flowers got signed, so there is a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
