    I wish it were that easy but then you run the risk of setting a precedent for your other future contracts.

    ‘when you look back on this now though it looks like Dallas got the better of the deal. If someone were willing to send a first rounder to the Steelers I’m sure they would take it especially with having Asante Samuel playing well. The fact that hasn’t happened makes me think the rest of the league doesn’t view JPJ quite like he views himself. I’m not sure a -ass rusher is easier to pick than a cb, I think it’s just we have had a lot of luck over the years with that so it appears to be that way. Scheme often can have a lot to do with both a cb and edge’s success. Look at how Bellicheck could take 5th round cb’s and turn the, into super stars. Of course I a;ways felt like the nfl let the {artists get away with a lot more pi than the rest of the teams. It also helps the DB’s when they have the cheat code from Bellicheck.

    I want them to keep JPJ, but sometimes teams don't want to pay guys what they're worth at certain positions.

    They(Steelers)weren't looking for trades. Why would you trade top young talent for a hope of drafting top young talent.
    No matter how you feel. JPJ is the best CB we had since Taylor. That's a long time ago, and I can show how many 1st round draft bust at CB have happened in that time throughout the whole NFL.
    CB, and Qb are the hardest two positions to judge from college to the pros

    I don’t believe they were actively shopping him but Omar Khan said they were open to listen to trade talks - not about him specifically but I. General so that opened the door to not just talk about Jones etc but also JPJ. I’m assuming teams didn’t ask about him or didn’t offer up anything substantial.

    Faked an injury. lol It is a hold-in, exactly what Watt and Heyward have done in the past. It is laughable that you would compare him to Bell with no evidence at all, just a narrative you wrote in your head.

    That it hasn't happened tells us they don't really want to trade him.

    Thankfully, the Steelers haven't been stupid enough to take a deal like that.

    Didn't offer up enough to consider moving an emerging elite corner who is under team control at least two more years. You really seem quite bitter. Where was this fire when Watt held his hold-in?

    There is always a new precedent. As long as a team isnt doing stupid contracts like the Browns it’s fine but even with the Browns the league said F-U and didnt let that become the norm so Im not worried about it. I never worry about the $, not with this team.
