Put either an elite prospect or a known asset. I know I called for Buddy in season but at this point there’s options other than him. My take is if you’re going to roll out Bush next year you better beef up the D-Line unless you know Tuitt and Alualu are both coming back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your logic but starting him next to Bush could end up really being a disaster. 10 minutes ago, warfelg said: I would too but I was hearing in practices even with coaches putting him where he should be lined up he still struggled lining up and keeping assignments. How about Foresade Oluokun? 10 forced TOs and 193 tackles. I don’t hate the idea of Jordan Hicks either. My take is if you are going to roll out Bush again don’t put unproven next to him. Put either an elite prospect or a known asset. I know I called for Buddy in season but at this point there’s options other than him. Just for the record....in no way am I saying I WANT Buddy Johnson to start. Not even a little. But if it came down to starting him or paying Schobert more than $3m...I would. it would suck either way....but Id rather go with the younger and cheaper player over a guy I KNOW sucks and is making good starter money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 This is older news, but did anyone see KC comments on Dotson and Banner? He said they need more out of those two this year. I wonder if Banner is their choice at RT over Chuks? I'm sure Chuks will command a decent paycheck being only 25. Maybe we extend Banner a year, lower his cap hit, and roll with him again. I still like the kid. I know he's shown literally zero on the field to make people expect him to play, but I'm a hopeful optimist. I feel like Colbert said that about a week ago or so.

This is something that gets to me about this team at times. Like that’s the KC story of saying this means neither will be cut and they will be the starters without competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the Banner comment more as a throw away comment because he is technically on the team right now. Kinda like why they keep talking about trusting Mason....he is the only QB on roster. Dotson though, was worrisome. It's pretty obviously true, but it also shines more light onto what might have been going on in the off-season when there were rumors they were not happy with him. I was hard on him because he looked like trash early in the season, but he rounded in form (got in shape? Healthy?). Then injuries hit again. Long story short: Banner just seems to be a comment because he is technically still on the team. Maybe public facing negotiation for a lower salary Dotson: seems motivational after what happened last year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzburgh Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Not sure I believe the the rumor around the Bills Edmunds trade. However, I think he would fit well as a buck LB in our system. He would be a nice blitzing ILB too. Can’t say I watched the Bill a lot last year, but liked his speed and the way he attacked the LOS out of college. The cap hit is too high though. I think a good buck, a beefed up DL, and another year to recover could be a big help to Bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably should have added this to my original point when I shared it, but I, personally, don't believe it. I was more just pointing out the ridiculous time of year this is on rumors. Just like that stuff from a few years back when there was a dude saying how we were "dotting the I's" on the contract with Justin Houston before he signed with Indy. Tons of nonsense out there.

Dcash4 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Couple interesting names added to FA and plenty more to come I’m sure. Tavon Young, Roger Saffold, Landon Collins…all at position groups we will look at. Deep position groups usually meant quality values. Saftey is deeeeeeeep. G and CB not bad either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Random thought: With Flores’s lawsuit, I’m starting to wonder if Minkah never really had a problem with Flores and more the issue was defensive coaches were moving him because ownership wanted them to lose.

bigben07MVP Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Steelers should be on the phone, I think he could be had for a 2022 4th or 2023 3rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcash4 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I think there’s a good chance to get Edmunds back on a very solid rate. Safety market has a lot of plug and play NFL options and he isn’t at the top of that list. It would really take someone that has always liked him and still projects a jump to take a big enough swing the Steelers couldn’t match (and reasonably want to) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Steelers sign someone like Eli Apple and all that excitement dies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
