Dcash4 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Figured that we are in a new season now, so probably need a new thread worth of updates and news. Sounds like we might get a lot of Haskins in the HOF games.....which actually means I am probably going to watch it. I am excited to see him and Mason play. I'm hoping that's a really competitive match....regardless of how I actually feel about Mason. Prove me wrong buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 sounds like the packers are going through offseason turbulence like we did with Bell/AB a few yrs ago lol thoughts on the idea of A-rod playing here next yr(if ben retires) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43M Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Steven Nelson signed with the Eagles. Not that I really expected him to come back, but it will be interesting to see if we bring in another corner at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 It's curious to me that we did this again. Felt like we had enough room in general. My guess is they are poised to sign someone else during cut downs and are just preparing for that. Not a lot out there in the world in terms of FA's to sign with the extra spending money.

SteelersFan2333 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Nice to have a little space sitting around for injury’s or if an unexpected cut happens from another team. I’m still nervous about our OL and CBS and if a better veteran becomes available and they think it improves the team I’d be all for it.

Overthecap has Steelers at $12 mill in cap room...not sure if it’s accurate. Them doing another voidable year type contract with Ingram makes me think they’re going to do something else...everything screams “1 last ride”. I think they’re going to make a trade for a vet in the secondary before TC ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, adding in the $5-6m they like to carry in season and the 52 and 53 player on the roster that gets added to cap soon…we are really only talking like $3-4m. But as we see with their willingness to do voided years, that can still be a $4-8m player. But I agree about doing it with Ingram makes me think they are already planning, or at least expect to make, another move. I’d say it’s a really strong possibility we are not done with our top half of the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong of course but as you said they have somewhere between $4-$8 mill depending on contract to play with. They won’t do it but I might try to add a vet RB like AP/Yeldon/Duke Johnson to upgrade behind Harris...just my .02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do any of those guys bring that McFarland, Snell, Ballage don’t? We have a 1st round rookie, spent a 3rd in McFarland, and signed Ballage I can almost guarantee we are not looking to add a RB. My bet is O-Line, Corner, Safety, or maybe ILB to upgrade Spillane if one becomes available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is O-Line, Corner, Safety, or maybe ILB to upgrade Spillane if one becomes available. I tend to agree, but I do give some level of consideration to adding a vet RB. It would just be pretty low on my list. We are ultimately hoping Harris is a 3 down back, but we don’t know for sure. We hope McFarland improves and can help as a pass catching weapon, but have no clue if he could or if he could handle blocking. I think none of us want to see Snell in that role and we would like Jaylen off the team. So signing a guy like Duke who we know can handle 3rd down and passing situation football makes the team baseline better today, and if Harris or McFarland jump them we are in an even better situation. I also wouldn’t hate someone like AP. We really don’t have an RB mentor on this team. Snell or Jaylen are the vets? Yikes. If someone wanted to come accept a big back/mentor role for the minimum, I think I would be good with that. We committed our top pick to Harris, I’d rather make sure he is set up to be as successful as possible. Harris/McFarland/AP/Ballage isn’t a bad group. Nor is Harris/Snell/McFarland/Duke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
