That guy burned all his bridges here People said that after the first time he left here. In the end, this is a business first and foremost. If it's good for business on both sides, it could happen. And even if he doesn't resign here to play, I think given everything that he has done for our team over the years, they would at least let him retire a Steeler. Moats is gone. Chickillo sucks. And I would probably take a 40 year old James Harrison over Bud Dupree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dupree should have been traded while they can get some value. Bring Harrison back and cut dupree? I don't know what to expect anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple players vocally came out after he was cut this season explaining he was a distraction to the team. He was cut last season because the coaching staff clearly didn't think he could play over Moats or Chick. So even with 1/2 gone, I don't really see the value in adding him other than for sentimental value, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While those are valid points, I think it was proven that the coaching staff was wrong on that one. Harrison, on the field anyway, was still a better player than every outside linebacker we had except maybe TJ Watt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rivers Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 we have failed at OLB fro a while, but outside of Watt, what will be done about it? Have they talked to any UFA's? This draft is said to lack quality Edge, so this might be the year to go UFA for OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This draft is said to lack quality Edge, so this might be the year to go UFA for OLB. At this point, it seems like the only OLB they will look to replace is Moats. I think we draft an OLB at some point (might be a late pick), and maybe sign someone before the season...perhaps a surprise release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this EDGE class was considered good - at least Colbert said something to that affect. If they don't grab another OLB by the 3rd round, I will be disappointed. Edmunds, Landry, Carter, Okoronkwo, Nwosu, Holland, all seem like possible candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what I saw of him in the playoffs, he has more than Bud Dupree and Anthony Chickillo. Not saying Id sign him, but lets be real here.

That is a decade of starters that shouldn't have been starting and on the team after a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
