Steelers sign Robert Woods

I don't think he was activated from IR until Week 18. If so, I don't really have an issue with them not playing him against the Bengals and in a playoff game - he missed most of training camp along with a huge chunk of the season.

Missing your rookie year sucks. I can see Woods as insurance - 1yr/$2M for a WR 4/5 makes sense - but am really hoping to see Wilson showing something in camp this summer.

 

Sounds like a double dose of cancer for the Browns between Johnson and Sanders.

 

Not the two I would've paired up, but Cleveland is going to be Cleveland, I guess.

 

I know coaches aren't going to tell the whole story, but I don't have an issue taking what he said at face value.

To me it doesn't make much sense to activate him at all if you think he's busting and have extended his IR time past his recovery to health. Just shut him down for the season.

 

Roman Wilson will be a bust if he continues to get injured. Preparation was not an issue for him at Michigan. Calvin Austin III missed his entire Rookie Season and lots of people wrote him off after signing Allen Robinson. Calvin Austin III turned out pretty well.


Wilson just has to continue to improve; something I believe he can and will. Besides, Roman Wilson improving not only acts as good Robert Woods insurance should anything happen to him but also a potential replacement option for Calvin Austin III given how his Contract is up next season. The Steelers haven't extended him so he is likely gone.


Roman Wilson panning out will benefit both him and the team. Here is hoping that his injury plagued Rookie Season was the last of it.

 

Number 2 WR.....

 

How the hell can they think this guy is a worthwhile No. 2? This is their replacement for Pickens? Disgraceful. I'm thoroughly fed up with Khan.

 

Do we know this is the plan? Maybe UDFA Roc Taylor is the plan? Maybe 2nd year rookie Roman Wilson is the plan? I've said it before on here but most people only see his size, CA3 can play outside the numbers. Maybe he's the plan? We just don't know yet.

 

donald parham 6-7. darnell washington 6-7. pat friermuth 6-5. DK metcalf 6-4. ben skowronek 6-3. roc taylor 6-1. robert woods 6-0. bunch of fast midgets. yea boyeeee. we are loaded now.

 

None of those are a valid plan. None. This team got a lot weaker today and they only got a third-round pick in return. That is an inexcusable failure. If Woods is the only veteran they are adding, Khan failed his team yet again.

 

While I tend to agree with you that trading away the talent of GP is a bad move, I'm going to stand on the assumption we're not done.

 

This is impossible to trust the steelers at this point....

 

For some, obviously.

 

That was the assumption many of us made when they traded Johnson last offseason, and there were many more options available. I'm going on the assumption they are done until Khan steps up and proves otherwise.

 

Exactly. Khan failed in his search for a second receiver last year. He failed in his search for a quarterback this season. How many times does he have to fail for people to stop trusting him to fix these holes in the team he creates?

 

Hello to this years 33 year old wash-up who is now also somehow our #2 WR.

 

Can you imagine if Metcalf gets injured and out for the season? The team might not score 10 TD's all year.
