43M Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Jaylon Johnson isnt hitting the FA market. I can all but guarantee that. And even if he does, he will likely cost upward of $20m a year....which I wouldnt do and dont think our FO would do either. If I am going all in on a player....it would probably be Tee Higgins...although admittedly, I dont see that happening either. Regardless of what people want, I BELIEVE we will be targeting Cousins pretty hard. I dont see any way they do not try to upgrade our QB position. I see no circumstance in which Trubisky returns. I think they would be interested in bringing back Rudolph, but not necessarily to compete for starter. If not Cousins, then someone else...perhaps even Russell Wilson if he is cut. If not one of the top names, then maybe a guy like Tannehill or Wentz to compete with and perhaps mentor Kenny. I guess Justin Fields is possible, but I hope not. I feel like a team like Atlanta may trade as much as a 1st round pick for him....I wouldnt trade more than a 3rd. My guess on what will happen... QB Kirk Cousins or Tannehill/Wentz WR Nelson Agholor ILB Patrick Queen or resign Kwon Alexander CB Rock Ya Sin, Stephon Gilmore or resign Levi Wallace I could also see a safety, but its a weak year for safety in free agency. I think there is a good chance they give Eric Rowe a chance to start next year. I could also see some type of trade. Not going to guess what position, though. I just feel like we may acquire a starter via trade during or after the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armsteeld Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 A couple guys I'd like: Devin White- has been weened from the field for Britt to play. Steelers liked him but traded up for the wrong Devin. Isaiah Simmons- fast and big ILB. CJ Henderson- Solid size. Good speed. Hasn't lived up to his draft slot. Azeez Al Shair- loved him as a prospect. Flashed in San Francisco. Stud with the Titans. Tim Settle- big bodied DT to challenge for NT. Javon Kinlaw- competition for Larry Ogunjobi. Kenneth Murray- challenge for starting ILB. Two guys returning from major injury. Will they fully recover? Insert Murray and keep rolling. Noah Igbinoghene- solid CB who fell off the ledge with injuries and being stuck behind depth, Raekwon Davis- powerful run defender. 6'7 325 with 4 years NFL experience. Will turn 27 during the season. Not a good pass rusher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Murray would be good as would Queen. What would you expect them to sign for? 3 hours ago, armsteeld said: Steelers liked him but traded up for the wrong Devin. and if this season doesn't go as planned, will the Steelers trade up for a QB next year? would Simmons suit our scheme at ILB? He has the range and speed so maybe it's worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants can pick up his 5th year option in 2024 but I don't think they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants can pick up his 5th year option in 2024 but I don't think they will. worth a try for ILB then . QB trade up would be next year if the class is good and this team as is faults to top 10 type record. ILB has been cursed with injury bug, not sure if players want to take the chance here what do you expect Murray and Queen to sign for? I would sign Queen or Murray/Simmons and trade/cut peterson if I had to. Instead I expect this team to keep overvalued players and lose out on actual legit players entering their primes - the steeler way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes jaylon Johnson about 5 million over 13 million…I don’t think many of these numbers are realistic, wish they were and we’d get them.
