I think they were projecting the tag to be ~ $24MM for next year at the beginning of the offseason. I don't know how they get to that estimate...
Nice. I grew up in Canada, so I only really started watching them in the last year of Noll's tenure. Lloyd is a huge part of the reason I chose...
I agree with all of this. Although for both, I'd probably argue that part of the reasons they didn't get picks is because it was better to throw...
Ike was a very good player. Before Porter he's the best CB we drafted since Woodson (which is why I specifically mentioned him). Ike did start in...
That's a different way to compare them sure. You'd probably also want to control for how the passing game has changed since the early 2000s. And...
I can see that you weren't hired for your disposition! Porter is better than Ike (so far). As I said in the post you quoted here, it's possible...
Porter may not have an overall career as good as Ike's was. But his career to date is miles better than where Ike was at the same point in his...
I agree with you re: Washington. I want him more involved in the offense. But my guess is that it goes the other way for him this year. We'll...
He won't be a UFA next year either. Because we'll tag him. Then we can tag him again the year after that. That team leverage is part of the...
Probably also worth remembering that this first roster will almost certainly change before week 1. I think part of the strategy here is that you...
I think I heard today that we've never cut a draft pick since Omar has been the GM. Though some were moved to IR before the season. Didn't check...
I'm not sure we know what Muth is...other than a guy we throw the ball to when we play Cincy. Re: Washington. Do you expect the new staff to use...
I would have been fine with picking Thieneman. But after ignoring the OL for so long, I was also excited that we took a tackle high. Even if...
We also desperately needed OTs...unless we were OK with Dan Moore? Safety is a much less premium position. And you try to take guys at high value...
This. All draft picks are bets on future performance. Jones had physical skill that made him a good bet. He fell to us because he was very raw....
2026 Season Team Predictions 1. Do the Steelers make the playoffs? No 2. Do the Steelers FINALLY win a playoff game? No 3. Steelers win total...
Nice to get a trade done. My guess is that it's probably a late round pick swap or something.
My guess is that an extra 3rd and our original 6th (minus our original 4th) doesn't really give us much for moving up in the 1st.
I think he played C for McCarthy in Dallas, but maybe that's not true?
3rd round comp after he left as a UFA. Comp picks come a year later.
