Just get an offense that is not boring, I can live with that.
Let Austin walk and get 3 new WR's.

Good read. I don't know exactly how I feel about any moves on that list yet. I'll need some context besides how it looked last season.

I pretty much agree with all of it

All of the extends will be expensive

This makes me think of the pick 1 to marry, bang or kill.

I too agree with almost all of it, but not Rodgers. I can't see resigning a Qb that is terrified of getting hit. If they want to bring him in as a coach. I'm all for that.

I already made that choice and married the one I wanted to both bang and kill.

I pretty much like everything except I would sign Miles Killabrew. I don’t see a future for Connor Hayward on this team.

Killebrew worries me coming off the knee injury. I'm at least hoping the Steelers go heavy on DB in the draft which would make Miles expendable.

Heyward is a jack of all trades, master of none player. Being Cam's brother alone will be enough to keep him in town IMO. Plus the Steel City Shove was pretty effective toward the end of the year.

NOTABLE FREE AGENTS: SIGN OR NOT

Aaron Rodgers (QB): SIGN Yeah, fine enough

Kenny Gainwell (RB): SIGN Agree, but there are so many quality backs for a tandem in FA. We will see.

Calvin Austin III (WR): NOT Yeah, see ya

Isaac Seumalo (OG): SIGN I'm gonna say no. For the same price you could get Parham, Penning, or Johnson.

Miles Killebrew (ST): NOT Unfortunately, yeah.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR): NOT Yep

Connor Heyward (TE): SIGN He should be really cheap and is our only FB type. I am fine with this.

Asante Samuel (CB): NOT Eh, depends on what we do in FA. If we can't ink someone like Woolen, then we might fall back on Samuel.

Chuck Clark, S Jabril Peppers, S Kyle Dugger, LB Cole Holcomb, WR Scotty Miller, ALL NOT I'd consider Dugger for a back up S role depending on price. He would be decent depth.

VETERANS: CUT/KEEP/TRADE?

T.J. Watt (OLB): Trade Agree, but not going to happen

Cam Heyward (DL): KEEP At this point ride it out until he can't play anymore. He's beating Father Time's @$$ right now lol

Jalen Ramsey (CB): KEEP I probably cut Ramsey. Its unfortunate, but he will make a ton of money and you could get Coby Bryan, Bryan Cook, or Kam Curl for a decent bit less.

Patrick Queen (LB): KEEP Agree

Jonnu Smith (TE): CUT Dont let the door..... nevermind.

EXTEND OR PLAY IT OUT

Chris Boswell (PK): EXTEND Yep

Broderick Jones (LT): EXTEND/OPTION We might be forced to. I probably pick it up just because OT's are hard to get, and maybe he keeps developing

Joey Porter Jr. (CB): EXTEND Gonna be expensive, but this is the right choice. Can't let CB1's just walk away.

Keeanu Benton (DL): EXTEND He shouldn't be massively expensive. Decent player. I'm good with this.

Nick Herbig (OLB): EXTEND I agree here, but I don't think he signs here without Watt being gone. He's not going to want to be a rotation player forever (and TBH he's definitely starter quality).

Darnell Washington (TE): EXTEND Yeah, he shouldn't be terribly expensive.

Cory Trice (CB): CUT Yeah, too injured. Time to cut bait

Spencer Anderson (OL): PLAY IT OUT I think we consider signing him to a short term back up deal. He's not awful. We've done worse at back up OL in the past lol
