Steelers showing interest in Golden Tate and Justin houston

do you think they are seriously interested or just trying to start bidding wars to jack up price? Where they getting salary cap space for this to even be possible ? Also, I know they picked up Duds 5th year option, could they still cut him to create cap space?

 

well Golden Tate signed with the Giants so thats a RIP

 

Tate signed with the Giants

 

Wasn’t sure how I felt about Tate anyways, I think we are better off drafting a wr

 

What about Houston tho? I know he’s old but I wouldn’t mind having him a couple years and dropping dud.

 

Here is the thing with Houston, at his age HD is looking for a good fit and that's with a 3-4 base defense team that plays to his strength. So the Steelers do have an edge but if he wants money more than comfort he will go elsewhere.

 

He could of had money and comfort....starting with DUDs 9 mil.....

 

No reason he can't have that too

 

Word is they’re finalizing a deal with Houston this evening

 

Fully guaranteed and will all be against the cap

 

If they are they are keeping it quiet. Dale Lolly is the only beat writer that has anything on his Twitter feed about the Steelers not being done in FA

 

I'm still hoping they extend Dupree and lessen his cap hit.

 

I would have to think that would be the whole reason to use 5th year option so they don't have to battle any other teams when trying to get the second contract ironed out

 

It's the only thing that makes sense to me. I just don't see how they can justify paying him 9 million for one season.

 

Bud may actually do well inside. God knows he's not helping outside by attacking empty space.

 

Where is that info coming from?

 

some steeler on 8nstagram with no supporting source..if it is something gotta be done with dud so we can spend it elsewhere

 

There is no way Bud would do well at ILB. He would be even worse there as he dosen't like to mix it up, play tough, and get off blocks.

 

Dupree could be traded, late round pick perhaps. Not sure if that takes away the cap hit or not

 

Would you guys give Nelson a shot maybe like a 1-2 year deal? I see the Raiders released him. 33 going be 34.

 

He'd be great in the slot if that wasn't crowded already but i think he will end up back in green bay, Rodgers missed him terribly last season. Since it's Aarons way now I'm sure he wants him back

 

Houston is like weddell could've pulled the trigger but didn't I wouldn't mind personally having him here but the money has to be more than right. Bud inside is intriguing, but the mauling he gets at contact is worriesome. Either or, not worth the 9 bills.
