I don’t think he will be highly sought after. It might be good for him to take a year for something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What scares me about something like that is he could possibly come here in a role like that, and we could have more success because of his changes....then he would get hired away, and we would foolishly retain Canada even longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigben07MVP Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Thoughts on going after LB Germaine Pratt from the Bengals who is a FA? 26 years old coming off his best season. 99 tackles, 1 sack, 2 INT, 10 PD, 1 FF, 1 FR in 15 games. From PFF: “Pratt’s 90.1 coverage grade was the best mark in the NFL. He missed just two tackles in coverage and allowed only four explosive receptions. Pratt didn’t miss many tackles as a run defender, either, whiffing on just 5.9% of opportunities after three straight seasons above 10% to start his career. Last but certainly not least, Pratt also peaked at the right time, with his 90.1 overall grade since Week 8 the top mark among linebackers”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it true that the biggest fear for steeler fans going into 2023 season is to still have canada? I feel like it, everyone wants him gone.

Brought him up a few times but I think the Bengals will have the cap room. Also anyone catch that they are prepared to offer Burrow a contract worth $50+ mil AAV?

I doubt we will get into bidding war for a ILB but maybe Khan will? wait and see. Good tackling and coverage is what we need at ILB though, and add a fast player in the draft would help too.

warfelg Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 Interesting note: $58 mil is what was spent on actual offensive starters. At the $36mil in dead cap (offensively) and it’s the 7th most expensive offense in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincy gonna have to find room to pay big money to Burrow, the receivers and improving that Oline. He might just make it to FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can they decide to keep him , seriously? 22 minutes ago, mwalker said: It'd be nice to steal B.Powers from Baltimore and Pratt from Cincy.

If this keeps happening with QB salaries, lets see if the highest cap QB's win SB's in a few years. Maybe in a few years the league will get to the point where "we can only win SB while on rookie QB deal" . Is that almost like Ransom ?
