    I'd prefer to give up a number 1 and keep the 2's and 3's. Peterson would be better than any 1st rd pick they get, especially mid to late rd.

    I'm not a fan of giving up multiple picks. The more picks you have, the great the odds of finding a good player.

    Agreed but they would definitely get back 2's and 3's for Bell. That's worse case scenario tbh.

    It’s fun to daydream, but last time I checked...it’s still very HOT in hell.

    My guess is they are at least as (if not more) worried about the long term viability of the product than taking a moonshot... They have traditionally been quite conservative (though I wonder what they traded to get Troy)

    I'd understand if they missed with Haden and there was other areas of need. Haden even if not as good as he was with the Browns has stepped in and been the best corner we have seen in a decade. Peterson is better and one year younger and trading to have him for 3 years. Have him and Haden for this year and next. How many years Ben got left? Haden was a 2x pro bowler. Peterson is 7x pro bowler and 3x all pro. He was rated 3rd best corner for the week two weeks ago. You won't give up a 1st or some 2's and 3's for him!!? Window is closing. O-line and Ben aren't going to be around much longer. We got the cap space for what we had saved for Bell. It makes too much sense. Make the call Colbert!!

    It is probably fantasy and won’t happen but it is a no brainer to this arm chair quarterback!We’ve been absolutely horrible with our first round defensive picks in the last 5 years.Peterson is an all pro and proven commodity since he was drafted.If the Steelers are serious about a Super Bowl run they give the Cardinals a first round pick in a heartbeat!!!!

    I thought maybe it was trying to get me to look at their crotches, and then I just felt funny about the whole thing because there I was looking. I'm so easily duped into doing things I really had no interest in doing. If life were a Star Wars movie, I would spend all day running around being Jedi mind tricked.

    I'd be willing to throw in my wife with this trade! She is a keeper...sex every summer equinox, only spends 90% of my money, cooks every full moon, and just for fun doesn't come home for weeks. God bless her though, she says not coming home for weeks is so that we will appreciate each other more when we are together. Takes a special woman to think like that! Sorry, I can't type anymore as I am becoming too emotional now (but I'm still willing to trade her for Peterson)!

    We used a first on Burns. Why wouldn't we use one on him? If the Steelers do have the opportunity to do so, they need to do it and not look back.

    Funny how things change. Back in the 80's, you were considered a loser for taking pics of yourself.

    Now selfies are all the rage.

    Well..

    A) He has to say that.

    B) He has no say in getting traded so it wouldn't matter if he did want to stay.

    They found a good player. They know he is a good player. His name is Patrick Peterson

    2’s and 3’s?! Plural? Everything I’ve read said one compensatory draft pick, and probably a third-rounder at that. Plus, in your scenario, Peterson’s salary would negatively affect the calculus.

    If they place the non exclusive tag on him this off-season. That allows him to talk to other teams and they could sign him but have to give the Steelers two first. If nobody bites then the Steelers can work on a trade and be like we will give him to you for just one 1st instead of two or whatever they want. Letting him walk for comp picks is stupid.
