    Let’s get it started! Id be interested in Hargrave for the right price, his best days are behind him but could be a good depth vet signing.

    And while I think Jones is still a good RB, he gets hurt a lot.

    Well they could cut Heyward (36) and sign Hargrave (33) and technically that would make the team younger

    Time flys, was thinking he was maybe 31.

    Will be interesting to see how things play out with Heyward. Im kind of surprised he wants to play for a new regime at his age, he loved Tomlin. If he tries to squeeze them for more money, dont think that will work out well for him.

    If the Vikings cut Jones, that could impact them possibly pursuing Rodgers. You know, the old Packers reunion tour!:bowdown:

    Tyler Linderbaum will be the grand prize of Free Agency unless Baltimore elects to resign him by resetting the market for Centers. Beyond him?! Malik Willis is another major one; Trey Hendrickson following suit. Deebo Samuel, Christian Kirk and other WRs would be the next best thing after Dallas placed the Franchise Tag on Pickens.


    Cornerback is... hit or miss. Jamel Dean and maybe Eric Stokes (big maybe) but the rest?! Man. Trevon Diggs could be an option for some teams but after getting released by the Packers before the start of the new NFL Year does make me wonder.

    I would think when Omar did whatever he did with Cam’s contract last off season I suspect there was a discussion about this year

    One way or another

    But I do not see a sit in

    Fixes safety. Fixes ILB. Helps fix WR. Cut Ramsey and Queen.

    Re-sign James Pierre. Re-sign Asante Samuel. Shores up CB.

    WR. Guard. Safety. OT. DT. In the draft. :cool:

    Nothing has worked out for this team. I really liked Hargrave and pushed for the team to draft him. I was ecstatic when they drafted him. The team basically couldn't afford Tuitt and Hargrave when Hargrave's rookie contract was up. They moved on from Hargrave, then Tuitt ends up retiring from the game, so they lost both players.

    Hargrave probably still has some good snaps in him, but he isn't really the true nose tackle that can take on double teams. He would have to take over for Heyward or take snaps from Harmon. Quality depth is a good thing and he can help keep everyone fresh, but he will probably be too expensive himself and you can't pay Heyward big money to play half the snaps.

    I'm just not sure Hargrave is worth it unless they can get him cheap.

    I would like to see the team sign S Jaquan Brisker. He played for the Bears and is a good player that I think can fit well with the Steelers defense....and he's young.

    Nope. Which stinks unless Patrick Graham has an ace up his sleeve on how to use Ramsey at this point in his career.


    As for Queen?! I have been done with him for a while now. Sonny Styles can do everything Queen but much better.

    Pick off some of Texans defenders who are free agents. Their defense was dope in 2025.

    Not a bad get for them but a bit pricey:

    The Houston Texans are trading offensive lineman Tytus Howard to the Cleveland Browns, league sources tell The Athletic. Cleveland will send a fifth-round pick to Houston in return for the 29-year-old, who has started 16 games in each of the past two seasons. As part of the deal, Howard is set to get a three-year, $63 million extension.
    Howard was entering the final year of his deal in Houston, having played 93 games for the Texans over his seven-year career.

    The Texans are making moves. I think they paid a bit too much for Montgomery but maybe it works out.
    He's for sure a top tier RB.

    Could Steelers try to sign Joquan Brisker? Or has the Bears signed him already?

    We would have to trade up in the top ten of the draft to get Styles.

    Check my sig.


    I was already throwing in the towel for Sonny though I had a slight sliver of hope. Post Combine?! He isn't getting past the Giants.

    Agree that Hargrave would have no clear role on the current Steelers roster. It seems that much of his pass rush has been sapped by age and injury.

    Brisker is interesting. He makes a ton of sense, especially if the team is unsure of when Elliot will be back and what he will look like when he does return. Then you draft a more FS style player to play behind Ramsey on the depth chart and then replace Ramsey in a year or so.

    That seems like too much planning and forethought for what has been coming out of the Steelers lately.
