    This guy has had like 5 concussions in his career already, not interested unless it's for a late round pick.

    For Tomlin. Straight up one for one deal. They do have cheerleaders so he would be a perfect fit.

    Yes but the guy plays with more passion and is better than the WRs we’ve had since AB.

    3 concussions per season? Sure, why not?

    And if they trade for him, it could be another situation like when they got TE LaDarius Green in free agency :eek:.

    I'm fine, but pickens had a slight edge. And olave had a better QB.

    I think the saints want a third and sixth.

    Is he as big of a cancer as Pickens

    A third and a sixth is to much

    Pickens is the more physically superior wr, but that's not why He's not here.

    I wouldn't give up a 3rd and a 6th for a guy who has had 5 concussions.

    A healthy Olave is a major talent... problem is though, he's the wr version of Tua Tagovailoa and is probably a concussion or 2 from being out of the league.....
    I wouldn't mind us taking a chance on his talent, but I wouldn't use anything higher than a couple low rd picks to get him

    Some blathering podcast said Omar has been making calls and this is just one guy he was interested in, but agree the price has to be right. A 6 up to a conditional 4th, the Saints probably would not bite, but to much uncertainty with this one.

    I read that the Steelers only made a cursory inquiry and the asking price is too high.

    Probably best to stay away from Olave but if they got him at a reasonable price and he stayed healthy that would be a good 1-2 punch at WR.

    I dont see him staying healthy though with that concussion history. Probably be like that TE we got a while back, what a bad move that was.

    Why would I stomp my feet at someone who can't handle football?

    Don't be so hard on the guy. It is just a matter of having the correct equipment.

    I wouldn't risk signing him with those concussions ---too risky

    I agree, there are other receivers they can trade for.

    Steelers can't find someone half way decent to replace pickens. Reports came out that olave cost a second.

    The media helped the cowgirl fleece the Steelers.

    So we have another year of only one WR and a worse QB.

    .... super bowl.
