2021 NFL Free Agency thread

Haven't seen those. Most of the beat writers covering the same news on Twitter so I might have missed it

Free agency is rarely, if ever, a good day in Pittsburgh. It's not how the Steelers build. It's a reminder the most important contracts this year are TJ Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick, so they don't become a part of the frenzy next season

 

They ran all over the Steelers twice last season, and lost both games .

 

Have you ever heard of this thing called....a salary cap????? Wow....

 

Corey Davis at 12.5 per and 27 mill guaranteed is the highest signed FA WR so far. Who really knows what the market is for him compared to what HE thinks he is worth, but taking a 1 year deal is really risky.

 

Right on. Some fans are acting like this exodus is shocking. We pretty much knew there was going to be come to Jesus moments with most of their UFA's with their cap situation. There is simply no way to keep these guys. It is what it is, which is why I still can't understand for the life of why anyone would think this team has a snowball's chance in hell of making the playoffs even with Ben coming back.

 

Those are interesting you'd think Kaboly or Lolley would have referenced them today if that happened. I might have to check on Conner's account see if anything is up with him.

 

In the business world people on salary take pay cuts and are let go all the time. The OP stating this like it was only a Steeler thing, players with contracts have been getting cut all over the league.

 

Thanks for posting, I am to cheap and poor Kaboly 1 buck a month for his feed.

 

If this happens the Bills will be loaded on offense.

 

Not a spring chicken anymore, but still producing..that would be a sneaky good signing.

 

I drafted Sanders in fantasy this year because I figured with all the weapons the Saints had Brees would find him alot because Thomas and Kamara would draw dbl teams. He did alright but not until late in the season. I think it will still be a Diggs show in Buffalo and Sanders looking like a third wheel

 

Hate to see Hilton go to the Bengals.

On a side note. Heard a sports beat writer and two talk show guys talking today in Cincy. One of the guys asked the sports guy. "Are you worried the Bengals didn't address the Oline in FA?" Sports guy "Not as worried as Joe Burrow will be" LOL.

 

Nice move by the Bills. Steelers should add a been their done that vet to the young WR core. Maybe a Tate kind of guy.

We surely have talent in the WR room , but I would like a seasoned vet for those guys to learn from. A guy in the 6-8 year exp. range that we can work in to the offense.

 

Blitzburgh on Twitter is ALWAYS wrong... ALWAYS

 

So this is the reason for my question of system or skills. He had Watt and Dupree getting all the attention from the OL and the blocking RB. Do the Bengals have the same for him to be successful?

 

In all seriousness, why is everyone acting like signing Zach Banner was a great signing. Not necessarily on here, but in just about every article or tweet I read.

This guy has never done a gosh darn thing. He was released by 3 teams before coming here. He won a spot on the starting line here (which isn't saying much) and then instantly got hurt. Now people want to put him at LT.

Who the F is Zach Banner??? Honestly, I have no idea. I haven't watched him play enough to even comment on if he has upside or not.

I will say this. No one wanted Zach Banner. I doubt anyone besides the Steelers holds him in high enough regard to think of him as a starter. I would rather have started a 4th round rookie tackle if it would have meant Alualu would be resigned, or Vince not cut.

 

Since his restructuring, his dead cap hit went to $35M. No way.

 

He's nice and funny and good with the media.

 

When all you got is a turd you have to shine it up as best you can.
