    If his agent put that out there it would be foolish

    It would not be a starting point for discussion with many teams it would be the end of wasting time considering him

    Some ..All interviews where he speaks on QB'S he mentions AR in glowing fashion and he mentions Will in a very similar way multiple times .. He barely ever mentions Mason and I have not heard him say 1 thing he thinks Mason does well..

    I will try to find some they are from weeks back mostly ,1 from this past week though I think..

    Agents always inflate their clients worth.

    How bad do you have to be if your team is willing to take on $99 million dollars in dead money to release you.

    Sure but if he puts something out that’s ridiculous then GMs may not want to even waste time calling

    Around the 15 minute mark or so he explains how the Team would run a PA play..He states we run it this way if AR we run it this way if its Will.. No mention of Mason he has done this in most interviews some more damning as he praises them 2 and leaves Mason out..

    I can find more , but I am convinced already .IMHO AR has already told MM he will be back and MM has told AR that Will is the future I want you to continue to mentor him teach him the way the QB spot has to be played...

    IMO this season is not so much about AR , but getting the Offensive weapons and teaching them the mental aspects of the game to be able to help Will in the future..

    Still not as bad as Denver releasing Wilson
    And we swooped him right up
    Hopefully we stay very very far from these two Gabronis

    I think Tua's dead cap hit is bigger than Wilson's.

    Wilson's dead cap hit was 85 million.

    I think ideally they would like to have MM work with Howard for a year before thrusting him into the starting roll.

    So with that in mind, Rodgers is probably plan A, if he retires or wants to play elsewhere then I think they make a move for Willis or Jones. Willis would obviously be easier to do. If they cant secure one of those guys they’ll move onto Murray or Richardson or maybe Cousins.

    Out of those options, give me Willis or Jones.

    Kyler Murray is the "best" scheme fit of the possible QBs for MM system.

    Outside the numbers shots down the field. Quick throws everywhere else from the shotgun.

    That's the best portions of Murray's game. Right now, Murray is a crappier version of what Rodgers was when he and MM won things together. But that is still a better version of what Rodgers is right now. If they could get Murray on a super-duper team friendly and short term deal...it is the "best" of a bad set of options.

    2026 - Murray-Howard-later Draft Pick
    2027 - Murray-Big Name Draft Pick 2027 - the best of the other two
    2028 - Big Name Draft Pick 2027 - the best of the other two - later round draft pick

    Make MM prove that he can do what he says he can. Develop QBs.

    Probably more of a Podcast than a read as this was info coming from practices. This was of course before Will Howard was injured, so Skylar would have had the advantage over Will Howard as this would have been his 4th Offseason.

    Crazy that both Skylar and Will are out of Kansas State. I have not heard if the Steelers are bringing back Skylar again, or if Skylar has signed a reserve/future contract with anyone else.

    Not what I heard. From day one everyone has been very impressed with Howard. Part of why it was so disappointing that he got injured because people wanted to see how that translated to games.

    Some of the dead cap hits are insane.
    I think I will invent a new game, Dead Cap Fantasy Football.You draft players who you think will be cut. The object will be to accrue the most dead money by a certain date. I may depend on you guys to help make up the rules.
    This might not be easy to play. Everyone will want to draft DeShaun Watson, but the Stains may keep him because his cap hit is so huge.
    My team’s name will be the Jacksonville Jagoffs.

    Hell no, to Kyler Murray. Period.

    Steelers have been the Salvation Army for washed up QBs since Trubisky... and then Fields, Wilson and Rodgers. We don't need another re-tread. Trade for Mack Jones or sign a young vet like Willis.

    Any team that signs Willis is taking a big risk he only threw 35 passes last season.

    Steelers should roll with Howard, Rudolph and draft best QB available somewhere in rounds 3-5. No Cousins, no Murray. Murray likes football, but doesn't love it. Can't win with a QB like that, who is not in 100% week to week. Cousins = Rodgers.... too damn old and we'll get more of the same with quick passes from a QB that will be afraid to get hit.
