    I'm sure he smoked marijuana, too, but I'm absolutely certain that he at least tried cocaine as well during his time at Pitt. I'm basing this on conversations I've had with former teammates of his.

    They only have so much money to be aggressive. Dave Bryan at The terrible podcast predicts abot 16mill. That’s enough for two solid FA signings and some cushion before the trade deadline for an emergency grab to fill an unknown (and hopefully un-needed) need.

    But if they release Tribisky (please do) maybe a third roll player or a bigger splash with one of the other signings.

    Unpopular opinion here, but I would absolutely LOVE a 28 year old Jalen Ramsey still in his prime and would be devastated if he landed in the AFC north with one of our foes.

    I doubt Ramsey wants to be a Steeler for a few reasons, but his best effort would transform the defense.

    Go ahead - kill me. It’s gonna be hard to change my opinion.

    They haven’t made any moves to free up money yet. They can get to 45-60 million.

    A lot of that was media driven, as soon as they saw the way Tomlin was watching Willis at the Senior Bowl, he was getting mocked to the Steelers :rolleyes:.

    Agreed. That's part of my view on the whole thing. Which do I buy more, Tomlin's reaction to Willis before the draft or the video of his excitement when calling Pickett on draft night? I have more trust in the latter.

    With any luck, Tremaine Edmunds is still on the table!!.... that said, given how much the team has been talking to the ILBs of the 2023 Class, it is fair to question if Edmunds is even in the cards. I can still see the team getting a vet based ILB in the fold along with having Mark Robinson but I don't see the team gunning for someone like Edmunds anymore.


    ... well... that and teams like Chicago, Detroit, Washington or even Housotn are all likely to outbid Pittsburgh anyways. Really should not include Chicago as it is likely they are expected to trade the Number One overall pick but keeping them here for now until the 15th of March.

    I know of the Jalen Carter incident. What of the second?!
