Could The Steelers Have Interest In Steve Breaston?

You know Breaston personally then, eh?

 

taht's what i think too , at least not immediately maybe if he doesn't receive any better offer around could come at vet min at the end of free agency , but maybe they are offering something more who knows

 

Once the Steelers get under the salary cap

They will sign Steve Breaston his agent and Steelers GM Kevin Colbert are meeting this week at the combine. The Steelers will be making cuts in the next 2 weeks get rid of the dead weight veterans who make too much money but don't produce. They have to get under the salary cap by March 12 approximately 14 million over right now.

 

i wonder how much they will offer him

 

We may get a hometown discount on Breaston if he wanted to. Friend of mine used to be the superintendent at Woodland Hills where Breaston attended High School, I think that is the correct name of the school. Matter in fact he I and three of my Marines went to Cincy in I think 1989 or 1990. Watched the Steelers loose and had a long ride back to Connellsville. While we were watching the game, our unit was mobilized to go to Operation desert Shield. No Cell phones were common in those days. We found out when we got back.
Breaston may want to play for his hometown team. Without a discount I doubt we see him. The superintendent was also one of the Sr. Enlisted guys in the reserve outfit. What pissed me off is I was the Active Duty 1st Sergeant and I had to send them guys and was not allowed to go with them

 

Yes, CS- Woodland Hills. They came over into Ohio to play a road game in Steubenville. He gave the home team fits. You had that feeling you would be seeing this guy on TV.

I'm pulling for the old 'hometown discount', too.

The possibility of playing for a proven winner-the chance of sniffing a ring- could be huge.

 

He had a 1k season in 08. Wasn't that with Kurt? ya know..the only QB worth mentioning in the Cardinals in recent history.

 

Eh.

 

They are focusing on Lewis first then they are going to explore other options imo.

 

Exactly...anyone who expect them to sign him right off the bat are crazy. They'll try and get a few of their guys done and then go from there like they usually do.

 

the steelers can offer only a veteran min , i told you before that we can sign him only if nobody else is offering more

 

Well if he is not no better than that TE (Pope)? Haley had to have , i dont want him anyway

 

they could have sayd ,look this is what we can offer let's say 4 years 4 milion , more or less like a vet min a year , that's if we have some money later , so when you go around if nobody offer you a lot more think about it .they will finda breaston level of guy with that money after the final cuts or maybe they are waiting to see what happen to sanders after the tender

 

Dont kno if this has been posted yet , ESPN.COM is saying that Breaston is considering going to Germany to have a procedure done on his knee, said he could have sighned a 1 year deal with the steelers but wanted a longer contract,......... so might have somthing with the wait and see aproach
