Trade for Jonathan Taylor

Says Steelers are/were in the hunt. Thoughts?

We need him Najee ain’t it. Problem is how much would we have to give up?

 

Probably Najee

 

Taylor wants to get paid, not interested.

 

Same. Think they need to get rid of the 1 workhorse back and go with multiple rbs like they somewhat do with Warren. They don't fully commit to it and I'm sure Tomlin would rather give 1 rb 350 carries.

 

Taylor will have to be paid. And so will the Colts. He’d be a big upgrade, but the cost is too high. Just keep giving more snaps to Warren.

 

Yep it's a rental of magic beans that may explode out of the can when they open it or he plays the season and says thanks but no thanks and bidding is open.

 

How many yards is Taylor honestly going to get when he's hit 2 yds in the backfield on every play?

 

Even Sweetness couldn't gain yds with the way this line is run blocking right now.

 

yep....screw that, money can be used much more elsewhere!

 

I can't see Pittsburgh throwing 15+ million at him.

 

Intriguing but no. Can't look to pay a running back just like drafting one in the 1st round.

Ride with Warren and Harris and split the time. I believe that finally Tomlin gets it.

Also Pickett needs to have the option to audible out of a play to run when there is an 8 man front.

 

I agree, but then I wonder, was this report accurate? If so, they had to know how much he was looking for.

 

Or Barry Sanders

 

Agreed if you are one guy shy of making a Super Bowl run you grab him for a rental but we are years away. Watch Cleveland grab him since Chubb is down.

 

JTs contract is an issue.

 

Not sure where this is coming from but it ain’t happening. Najee and Warren are a good tandem, the blocking is the problem.

Look at how James Connors production improved immediately once he got away from the steelers and in to a different offence, it’s not a coincidence

 

They already brought the woman hitter back

 

I had not seen that (for a second I thought you meant rice then I realized who you meant. That could turn out well for them will be interesting to see.

 

Many of these reports are driven by the agent for the RB looking to be traded, so who knows how real it is. The agent’s job is to at least make it appear like there’s a market, even if there really isn’t one.

 

It's coming from a website passing off rumors, crappy reporting, and speculation as news to get clicks.

 

The people reporting it know that, too, and they should know that the Steelers aren't going to make that sort of move. They run with speculation or crappy reporting to draw in readers.

 

They should trade for a new OL first! Taylor won't do a thing with this one.

 

Giving up the capital and paying him would be demonstrably dumb. RB's can be found anywhere. Najee isn't performing to what is expected, but we got someone like Warren in UDFA. No reason to give big dollars to a RB when we would be better off spending that capital on the line to help Pickett and any other serviceable back we could put in for much cheaper.

 

The sad state of affairs is "woman hitter" could mean a multiude of guys in the NFL. Woman hitting RB and woman assaulting QB. Magnificent duo of loser human beings.
