The Steelers sign RB Trey Sermon

This should be the end for Patterson.

 

Another Buckeye on board.

 

Hasn't had much production in the NFL yet. Was thought of as a good fit for outside zone, IIRC

 

Twice injured

Steelers probably didn’t give him a physical

 

Still no WR? lol

I don't even care anymore. Kahn has no idea what he is doing.

 

We improved at the WR position by getting rid of George Pickens

I still care but hey i’m a Steelers fan

 

Or that he has too much to offer.... I'd imagine we are more than happy splitting carries between Warren and Johnson and don't want to add a third player to take touches. I understand that having a contingency plan for injuries is smart, but Chubb would have to be interested in essentially being a gameday inactive when the RB room is healthy. Can't really see him being too content with that.

We expect our RB3 to contribute to ST's and if we keep a 4th, it will be because they too can contribute to ST's and are a good enough contingency plan that they are willing to sit them inactive until needed.

To me, our RB room is simply settled. We're going to roll with Warren and Johnson and let Patterson and Gainwell battle it out for the RB3/KR duties.

 

And people thought the Steelers were going to sign a legit #2 WR.

 

No, they did not. They improved the locker room, but they weakened the receiving corps.

 

We had one... just traded him away lol

 

They added a multi-role RB for this season. Solid move. Sermon can line up at multiple positions within the offense. He's not going to take over, just insurance.

 

At Ohio St Sermon gave me Marcus Allen vibes.... he's a good runner at the pro level, but his ball security has been his downfall

 

Why is Patterson still on the roster? He looked old and slow last season.

 

Umm

They got a number one receiver with their second round pick

 

He was around 50th in receiving the last two years

He was a boarder line 3 and he had to go
