    ......no we should NOT sign AJ Hawk who was just cut by the Packers.

    1.) ILB isn't really a need compared to others, even if Shazier is a bust.

    2.) In case you haven't noticed Hawk was kind of a bust and has been sat a lot the last 2 seasons.

    I say this because every time any player with a known name gets cut, out come Steeler fans saying we should sign them. Hawk was never that good, even though he was a 1st round pick.

    Free agents I would look at....

    RB: Helu, Tate, Forsett (prob too pricey), Vereen, Powell, Thomas.

    TE: Clay (if looking for eventual replacement of Miller, otherwise too pricey), Gresham, Green.

    OT: Roos, Free, but neither will happen.

    OLB: Orakpo (injured a lot), Moats, Spencer.

    CB: Flowers, Skrine, Cox.

    S: McCourty, Delmas, Landry

    No Reggie Bush? I hear he's going to be the next Barry Sanders.

    The Steelers definitely have enough ILBs, so not interested in Hawk.

    The second acronym can officially be retired.

    Whenever I read that Hawk was released, my first thought was that there was probably already a post on this board about how the Steelers should sign him. :lolol: Guy is like 32 and doesn't play a position of immediate need.

    He not only doesn't play a position of need, he doesn't even play the position well. He has been taken off the field often the last two years. He might not even be as good as Shazier, and Shazier did NOTHING last year.
