It seems like the Pittsburgh Steelers staff is very interested in potentially making him a draft pick so first of all would he replace Landry Jones and secondly is he someone that is truly capable of replacing Ben Roethlisberger in the long term Big, strong arm, great touch, very accurate. Didn't play from under center, makes a few bad decisions, will need overhaul on footwork. He's a bit like Ben when he came out in terms of a big athlete with a good arm that needs some work. He's my 4th best QB in this class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Ok so I teased in talking about Eric Reid that there's something going on with the safety market and here's what it is: Teams are waiting for dominoes to fall. The big two are Tyrann Mathieu and Earl Thomas. Earl would need to fall first. The Seahawks are serious about trading him. Earl Thomas: He's on the trade block, and we are one of the teams in on him. But the teams after him want an extension and he wants at least $15mil a year. No team is willing to pay that so things are at a bit of a standstill. Tyrann Mathieu: He's waiting a it, and the rumor is $11 mil is his 'discount' for competitive teams. For teams not on the potential of winning it all he wants $13-15 mil out of it. So teams are waiting for their asking prices to come down, and once they do guys behind them will start to fall quickly on their asking price and safeties will start signing faster. The issue is teams don't want to pay that and are seeing with Philly you can get away with average there as long as you have a strong front 7 and so they are less likely to do the expensive secondary thing.

Depends on what we could get him for. He’d be a nice addition to the special teams. I don’t think he’s much better than DHB, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But DHB did bring value, even if minimal to the offense. Slater has 1 career reception. At the right price, I'd be okay with it. But honestly, signing him over DHB isn't the difference in a SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
