    Cole Beasley
    AJ Green
    Julio Jones
    Jarvis Landry

    These guys are what's left in free agency as far as well known guys, I wouldn't want them to sign any of these guys. With them not having a lot of picks, could they still draft two receivers?

    I've said this before, but get one in the draft later,and the rest in UDFA.
    I believe there is so much talent this year some good ones will not be drafted. Also most said Claypool wasn't as good because of Ben, and seems like a lot think Trubisky is a upgrade over anything We got....So shouldn't Claypool in this sense shine now???:shrug:

    Maybe Anthony Miller will have a bigger role next season, he did play with Trubisky in Chicago, and I think he has some experience in the slot.

    I agree with not signing any of that list with the exception of Laundry. I think he could be a real asset, but would not pay what he may be

    I had the same thought, but I do wonder why he couldn't even get a shot last season. The version of Miller that played his first couple of seasons with the Bears could at least be a No. 4 receiver.

    still need more than dj and claypool. A more accurate assessment would be that both claypool and Ben shared the blame.

    Of those you listed Cole Beasley would be my choice. He is a very underrated slot receiver who can make tough catches over the middle. Let's not forget he played with Trubisky last year in Buffalo. Signing a guy like Beasley frees the Steelers up to draft an outside receiver to compete with, and hopefully beat out Chase Claypool.

    Draft one and try to find a cheap journeyman that can contribute. Maybe they already have that in Miller? I don’t really know much about him

    I’d love Landry on the team but he will want too much money.

    Please do not touch that downward spiral Julio Jones. Dude complained every two years in Atlanta he needed more money. And then went on to Tennessee and looked meh when healthy. He is also littered with injuries. And had a couple on the field arguments where Tennessee had to talk him off the edge.

    I think if Gunner sees the field on offense, the cupboard would be pretty bare.

    I would think Miller should get a good look. Hopefully he has some chemistry with Trubisky.

    I’d take Beasley for some depth and experience. Could probably get him cheap.

    I think Gunner is going to get some carries early next year with the jet sweeps. Then teams will catch on that will be the end of that.

    Sims and Miller are the wild cards here. Do the Steelers think either or both of them can contribute next year? I know we will draft at least one, but are we counting on contribution from either of them? Its very possible.

    They have to use him as a receiver, too, to make that work.

    I saw something today on twitter that Landry wants 20 million a year, not sure if that's true or not.
