i think as long as Ben has Bell, AB and his oline he has now hes gonna stick around. people are talking about him like hes washed up. his numbers where pretty decent last year. he had some off games, but look at his wrs. aside from AB he was throwing to a bunch of kids. rookies, 2nd and 3rd year guys with very little playing time. they had no chemistry and they werent on the same page most of the time.

i think this season will tell us alot. i think the offense is gonna look like what people thought they were gonna look like last year. close to 30 points a game. guys like Rogers, Hamilton, Coats, James and Ayers i think all took big steps last season. you throw Bryant back in the mix and an AB thats gonna want to prove some stuff and i think the passing game is gonna be one of the best.

the Steelers will be a contender again and if things break right they will be right back in the AFCCG next year. i dont think Ben walks away from a team that is that close. especially if he feels the FO and coaches are doing everything they can to put a winning team on the field.

so i guess what im saying is theres no way Cousins signs with the Steelers.

While you have Ben, spend the cap space on the best offensive, defensive, and special teams players you can to win with Ben. After Ben retires, then go after another QB. Until then, backups should come experienced and cheap. I don't believe Landry's contract will be much above minimum. He is not desired elsewhere and the Steelers are basically his only shot at staying in the league.

Normally I would quickly agree with the part in red. I've become gun shy. Something always seems to come along and let's the air out of the tires.

Steelers appear ready to give Landry Jones good backup money

Pro Football Talk | Feb 16

Steelers backup quarterback Landry Jones becomes a free agent next month, but the team appears ready to make sure he stays in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers view Jones as better than 80 percent of the other backups in the league, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. If that’s the case, it’s hard to see how the Steelers could let him get away, unless some other team were willing to offer Jones starter money.

Latest news as of today on Cousins contract movement:

Feb 22 17
Kirk Cousins standing pat before tag? The Redskins quarterback has no plans to sign any long-term deal until after the team places the franchise tag on him for the second straight season, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio. If the Redskins tag Cousins, PFT says he will immediately sign the guaranteed $23.94 million tender, then start talking long-term deal.

This should get moved to the "other NFL talk" because Cousins isn't going anywhere, especially not Pittsburgh.

Are you serious? He isnt going anywhere to be a backup, if he has a problen getting a deal done with the skins the forty niners want him for their starter, but I'm betting he stays with the skins.......

Couldn't agree more....... the skins, more than likely, will eventually sign him.. If they don't, there are a bunch of qb starved teams that will break the bank for him..... the 49ers, jets, browns, bills, bears, and quite possibly the rams and chiefs........
cousins in black and gold will only happen on madden...... go ahead and make the deal

It is amazing how badly the Skins bungled the Cousins situation. Around $48 million for two season with the tags for a good but not great QB. .
