They have some concerns (i.e money, injuries, suspensions..) but interesting nonetheless. Haden, TJ Ward and Odighizuwa. Didn't Odighizuwa quit football or was that someone else?

He was like by a few on here (including me) coming out of UCLA. It's only his 3rd year and he's had some injuries and now the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I disagree that he is better. and for 11M per season he had better be able to single cover ( which he cannot). Now if they want to trade for TJ Ward I am all over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I've follow his career, but I thought he had some serious upside coming out of UCLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Heard on In The Locker Room with Tunch & Wolf today that Big Play Bill Gay was lined up at safety during practice today and that he lined up in sort of a linebacker position with Shazier. Hopefully this is bad news for Golden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is based on the average of the top five salaries of the previous season or 120% of the players current salary whichever is greater. So based on his $12 million salary he would get an increase to about $13.5 as the average salaries would be less than his current salary. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1960713-how-the-nfl-franchise-tag-process-works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 http://www.steelers.com/news/labriola-on/article-1/Tomlin-on-coordinators-in-the-box-Mitchell/e5b20034-30e7-49b8-89a0-bdd5150c07cf Good Q & A with Tomlin: Quote Tomlin... Q. When we were talking about cuts last week, you said that at this stage, some guys are ready to go for one reason or another. Can you explain what you meant by that? A . The competitive atmosphere that we have, the intensity of it, just erodes at men over time. And particularly those who are challenged in terms of physical talent. It is a wear-and-tear mentally at times, it is a wear-and-tear physically at times. This process has a way of making the selections for you at times. Q. How does that manifest itself in players in the cases where you make that judgment? A. In play. In quality of play. In detail of assignments. In availability. It is revealed to us in so many ways, and that’s the awesome thing that training camp is in this process. If you’re really open to it, it’s really easy to see. It unfolds in front of you.

Chieferific Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The Steelers sign Colbert to a 2 year extension. Maybe that's why he went out and signed to FAs. I keed. I keed. http://www.steelers.com/news/article-1/Steelers-extend-Colberts-contract/f4a9e90c-9d3e-43d7-83f4-c7c104a2a1df Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKSteeler Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 On that note, I found it interesting that Tomlin was interviewed on Steelers.com. He said the 4th preseason game will probably determine the winner of the competition at long snapper as it's been that close. It had been assumed by everyone that the draft pick was a lock. http://www.steelers.com/news/labriola-on/article-1/Tomlin-on-coordinators-in-the-box-Mitchell/e5b20034-30e7-49b8-89a0-bdd5150c07cf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know. One would assume that spending a 6th round draft choice on a long snapper would almost be like investing a #3 on a kicker. You would think they are a lock. We are on the outside of those meetings and evaluations so I guess you never really know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
