    Been looking. Seems he's played about 2/3 of snaps on the outside the last two years. That's a positive.

    I would have liked a CB starter. But I'll take him because we do need that slot for maulet.

    Well apparently there isn’t a good starting CB still sitting on the shelf

    Nice article here in Steelers Depot on King’s coverage data from 2022 as compared to other Steelers’ corners on the 2022 and 2023 teams.

    https://steelersdepot.com/2023/09/steelers-free-agents-cb-desmond-king-ii-2022-coverage-data/

    In another thread about finding a free agent CB I had said that I was pretty comfortable with Pierre as our 4th outside corner because of his play last year, and wasn’t too concerned about his 2023 preseason. The data in this article is pretty good for Pierre during his limited snaps. Not bad for a #4 outside corner.

    We might have that, but adding Anthony Brown to the PS is nice depth. If the achilles is healed he brings a lot of experience.

    For who??? Trades happen, but unless tanking what quality are you going to get? And how much do you have to give up in draft stock and possible cap hit? Barring injury I think we go with who we have, rely on PS depth and stay the course.

    That's my question: If this guy is the cat's meow why was he cut and left out there?

    He had a big salary and a young guy was up and coming

    Same thing helped to bring Joe Haden here

    Good call on that. Good chances he'll end up playing some snaps this year. (though, hopefully it doesn't get to that point)

    He didn’t have the pass rush in Houston he has here. He will fit in nicely

    One of the few on here that is not sold on Pickett. I'm in a holding pattern with him.

    I wouldn't say I'm sold on him, either. I thought he had the potential to be their franchise quarterback and I like the progress I've seen so far, but he still has a lot to prove.

    The first round pick of the texans has been traded in Arizona when they trade up for a player in the last draft
