Yea by all accounts there are three running backs and the a steep drop off, if the Steelers wait until pick 55 in the second round all three will...
His $41m charge for 2021 is made up of a $15m roster bonus due in March and $4m in salary that he will be paid on a per game basis. This is the...
Maybe. I don’t think the money side in insurmountable. They can figure that out easily. It’s pretty straightforward to kick the can down the road...
That’s fine when you are an elite QB that can win games on your own like Ben was at that stage, he isn’t that guy any more. I hope Rooney made it...
Yeah. Doubt he sees it that way. These guys have incredible egos. Ben probably believed that he is still a top QB and deserves top of the market...
They don’t but they are in uncharted territory here. I see noise coming from Ben’s camp that he would be insulted if he was asked to take a pay...
I think the Steelers were fundamentally a good team last year but by the end with all the injuries on defence and Ben falling away they were a...
Any free agent pickups will be bargain basement types. They will probably get a cheap Center in free agency and then take one in the draft to ease...
One thing that changed was that in the following games vs Baltimore and Dallas they fell behind and had to chase the game. Having the lead allows...
Aditi is really pushing that angle but it ignores the fact that one of the biggest issues with the run game is Ben himself. He can’t scramble any...
Exactly, extension in this case is just a vehicle to move 2021 salary in to the future. I don’t see them giving him new guarantees. I think you...
The Athletic did a comparison of how teams draft a while back, I think they went back a decade. I can’t remember the exact methodology but the...
I’m ok with a multi year extension given that he is obviously coming back now. The only aspect that matters in that is whether there are new...
I’m sure Canada was aware Ben was coming back when he accepted the job. They probably always intended to bring him back, this posturing to the...
Was talking about corners but fair enough, are we seriously counting mid and late round picks as busts? Anything after the third is a lottery...
We are all scarred by the Artie Burns debacle, it was a desperation pick and they should never have selected him. That said, they have three guys...
Yes I did qualify that in a later post and I realise they won’t have anywhere near $170m available when the time comes, but still, if they draft...
They have only 17 players under contract 2022 totalling $58m, all the older more expensive players will be gone unless they extend them, and even...
They have nearly $170m 2022 in cap space as things stand today according to OTC. Even allowing for big money extensions for TJ, Minkah and others...
Their cap situation after 2021 improves a lot, they can probably afford to kick some money out to be fair. 2021 is a bit of a nadir with a lot of...
