I think our best bet is to sign Cam Sutton or trade for a dark horse CB that nobody is thinking about now. ZH has had the injury bug no doubt. Dark horse CB could be ideal as well as Sutton. Sutton is for nickel and who knows if he can stay out of trouble, should be able to but there is reason to not rely 100% on him. I still think if Porter gets hurt it will be like TJ getting hurt = won't win without him with existing CB's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 would it be likely that Khan will wait for WR for in season trade? If denver is really out of it, they might consider a trade then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just start both rookies day 1. They might have a Joe Thomas here,never miss a snap forever, and it would be a waste to have him sit while Moore starts and we know isn't as good. Dulac putting scare tactics out there already. Maybe bring back mason cole as well? Jones/Fautanu Semo ZF Daniels Jones/Fautanu just do the right thing from day 1 I think the possibility isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as they don't go into the season with that as the defacto option. While Jones likely would have been preferred starting day 1, we don't know for a fact that he wouldn't have had some major issues early. What we do know is that he seemed ready once he did start. If Fautanu is struggling to adjust, you don't just throw him out there, especially if there is technique issues they need to work through. They also need to evaluate which side each would eventually play on, which could delay things somewhat. I would prefer they start the season with Fautanu and Jones out there since it means Fautanu is ready, but starting the season with Moore out there isn't "worst case" necessarily either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then how does Fautanu get on the field if Jones is healthy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 https://steelersnow.com/pff-tabs-steelers-as-best-landing-spot-for-stephon-gilmore/ what would he cost? Might be ideal for us so why not? XH will command a much higher cap cost too Porter could benefit from having a former elite vet CB . Patrick wasn't the answer either sign Gilmore and Sutton. Sutton will be NCB once reinstated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The increased value of Moore could also be leveraged by franchise tagging and trading or something like that. The only actual worst case is if Moore doesn't play well and they stick with him for too long. But ultimately, we wouldn't know if Fautanu is actually ready or not anyway.

Sutton will be NCB once reinstated Gilmore is washed and was pretty horrible last year. I’ll save you time on this one too, there is a 0% chance we sign Xavien Howard. Neither one of them is worth obsessively posting about signing for the next 4 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rivers Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 will they give Najee the 5th year? smith should add those run plays that worked well for Najee at the end of last season , and with this new OL it could be much better , should be no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Kinda random, but heard Warren talking about Fields taking KR and just kinda popped into my mind. I like the Cordarrelle signing, but wouldn't the new kick off rules have been the PERFECT opportunity to get Warren 2-3 more impactful touches a game without taking away carries/opportunity from Najee?
