VigilantZombie Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) Tweeted: The #Steelers signed LB Jon Bostic to a 2-year deal, source said. He had 97 tackles for the #Colts last year https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/975369411879231488?s=17 This is pending a physical but I like it.

Chieferific Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 That helps. Typical under the radar signing but a good fit and a decent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely should help our run D. He isn't exactly a sack master but solid tackler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 I have to believe that Slater and Bostic (should Slater sign) are gonna combine for little expense. Which makes me wonder if Tre Boston could be targeted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPeezy55 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Seems like a decent signing, for what I'm sure is a reasonable price as well. Coming off a pretty good year, will immediately replace Spence IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLambert58 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I liked Bostic coming out of college. Hope he can be a quality starter. This might spell the end of the Timmons reunion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Meh. We already have him and his name is Vince Williams. There’s a reason this is going to be his 5th team in 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little more sideline to sideline than Williams but not much. It’s a slight upgrade but depends on the numbers if I like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armsteeld2 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Here is Bostic's market, according to Spotrac and if we got him below, that's a win..... http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/indianapolis-colts/jon-bostic-12331/market-value/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzburgh Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Better than Spence, but we could only go up from where we were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did I'm disappointed with the signing. He is probably worth $3M a Year max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
