    The benefit is that he’s young, only in year 2, and he has a 5th year option. So you get him the rest of this season, and 3 more years.

    Not just that. There is one final caveat to all of this. You know what this all means?!





    GOODBYE SEAN DAVIS!!!

    More likely Kelly once Davis is healthy. Hopefully Fitz doesn't stand in the end zone while an open TE catches the ball for a TD.

    I think we might still need to fix the coaching too.

    But we do have a comp in the third we can parley into the best draft class in 20 years. Which is nice.

    Nope. This is a long term move. Sean Davis is due for a contract extension. He will not receive it here I am afraid.


    This move all but seals Sean's fate. Keep in mind he has a shoulder injury. That issue by itself is another indication of the team getting ready to move on from him after the season.

    Worth it. Fills huge need and we struggled drafting safeties since Troy. Kam Kelley for sure gets cut I think

    Tell Sean Davis to meet Art Rooney II. After that, sign his walking papers!!! :lolol:


    Terrell Edmunds and Minkah Fitzpatrick. The future. I LOVE the sound of that!!

    I don't know how I feel about this. I just don't think our immediate future is very bright. We have an aging, injured QB who is going to a year older when he starts next, if he ever plays again. Our current QB has never started a game in the NFL before. We have plenty of holes on both offence and defence, and while this trade fixes one of those holes, there's plenty of others.

    That pick could very well have been a top 10. That's a lot to give up for a guy who is good, but for a team with plenty of holes, I'm not too sure DB is what i would address first. If Rudolph can't cut it, we need to draft a QB in the 1st next year. That's virtually impossible now.

    AMEN Brother!!!! Considering some of our first round picks lately it is a smart move to trade for a guy that has proved he can play at a high standard. :hehehe:

    One and three. Pittsburgh traded up next years third. Although, with Le'Veon Bell, we get it back via the compensatory formula.
