warfelg Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I seem to recall saying that he wouldn’t get another contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Not getting another contract totally makes sense. Cutting him now....with THIS o-line...after bringing back guys like Ben and JuJu...nah I'm very interested to hear more....and Trai Turner better be on the next flight to Pitt.

Dcash4 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) Andrew Luck put early retirement in the Stanford water system. ---- Just adding here on edit rather than making a 3rd post. Feels very "Im thinking about retiring" and the answer was, well we cant wait for you to decide. Edited June 24, 2021 by Dcash4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Yea. More and more reports of him basically questioning how much he wanted to do and the Steelers decided it was time. I think it means they were close with Turner and are also closing on a Watt deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Remember that interview Ramon Foster gave in which he said Decastro was the least likely guy to play another contract with the Steelers? Something like that. I feel like Decastro had probably been talking about being finished sooner rather than later. He is a big loss. I wouldn’t hate to sign Turner, but his injury history is worrisome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 IMO, they need to actively do something with that money. Trai Turner *shouldn't* cost that much, at least in year 1 and TJ's money hits in the future. Im not saying there are high priced FA to find, but this should open the trade market more and make guys like Hooker or Turner who potentially asked for a mill or two more than the Steelers were offering to revisit those signings.

warfelg Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Some suggestion out there that they have a handshake deal with Turner but waited to decide on DeCastro and give him time before signing Turner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Even though DeCastro is gone, I really hope they don't overpay Turner. He has not been any healthier than DeCastro recently and he played horrible as well in 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 32 minutes ago, DR43 said: Why did they do that? Very odd, maybe they are in a money crunch or something but release one of the teams best OL when Pouncey retired and Villaneuva left, he was the last good OL on the team and replace him with who exactly? Oh and they lost Feiler as well in free agency. Dotson has potential and Dan Moore I like and think he can maybe transition to OG possibly, they better hope they do not start Aviante Collins, he could not break the lineup with the Vikings and they have a pretty piss poor OL especially in terms of pass pro. Kendrick Green is an interested rookie but again he is not HOF center like Pouncey was, Green is probably better at OG anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livewire Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I remember being on here when he was drafted and we were ecstatic. Solid player. However, he wasn't good this past season possibly because of the injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
