    that is an all your eggs in one basket type of free agent where they should go hard and fast from the jump and throw ridiculous money at him ans let Omar sort it out

    The Steelers should look into signing him, it would hurt their rival and fill a big need.

    Is he that good to throw a bunch of money at him?

    Better than Shazier? I know he’s better than what we have but would he be a deal breaker?

    I wouldn't worry about him jumping into the first gap he sees and letting the runningback go right by him.

    I don't think the Steelers will get into a bidding war for him. It would definitely be an upgrade though.

    Yes, in a heartbeat. Been hoping they'd let him test free agency.

    Will the Steelers finally make a big splash? Hope so.

    You must be his agent. Thanks for the insider information. We shall move along now. Nothing to see here.

    I like for Mosley to play ML instead of Vince Williams, and then the Steelers could still draft White from LSU, now that would be a great MLB duel.

    The Steelers already made their high-dollar linebacker investment...Bud Dupree.:(

    I'd take him over Shazier in a heartbeat (depending on what it would cost).

    Didn't we go after him and Hightower'or showed interest and got played for fools?! And I don't have to be his agent to know that there aren't too many players that want to play for this dysfunctional team ... right now ... lol

    Mosley is a very good run defender, but he’s more of an average ILB in coverage. He’d be a plug and play upgrade over Vince. I’d like to get him, but not if we have to overpay.

    We never went after Mosely. He’s been under contract.
    I’m not worried about Hightower since this discussion is not about him.

    Even though he does horrible in coverage, I would love to have Mosley on the squad.. It would answer some questions, and team him up with the possibility of getting Bush from Michigan... would be pretty intense..

    Chance to rectify the mistake of not drafting him.

    ?? We drafted Shazier, Mosley went 2 picks later, can you really say you'd take one over the other? Neither player was perfect coming out of college, they both had durability concerns. I was happy with Shazier's performance up until his injury.

    I don't like in either @Roonatic , but 9.2 mil is a pretty big investment for one season of Bud Dupree, no?

    Sign him up then go after Houston after KC cuts him and try and get Collins........man what an off season that would be. Send Dud, Burnett and Burns packing and we would have enough money for it all......:clapping::clapping::clapping:

    So you're guessing based on your own personal biases, thus rendering your claim only vaguely relevant. Thank you.

    The Steelers don't have even one long-term answer at inside linebacker right now. Mosley would be a perfect addition for them. The problem is that the Steelers would have to spend in a competitive market for the guy and that isn't likely to happen.

    I'm sure in the unrealistic scenario that Pittsburgh was the only team to show interest and offered him $50 million, that he'd turn it down... :rolleyes:

    At the end of the day, none of those guys give a damn what team it is. Money talks...

    I would rather go after Landon Collins and then draft Bush or White. Or sign Collins, take Murphy in the first and Mack in the 2nd.
