Steelers working to trade Pickens to the Cowboys

Not as good as Pickens. So you lose him next year, at least this year you have a great chance at winning with DK and Pickens. Hate the move.

 

Potential comp pick in 27, if we signed no player of equal value is 26....and the cancer that could have been created by him was avoided, as was the potential all star play...in business everything has a risk, the choice was to move him for a guaranteed pick in 26. If he gets 1400 yards and 10 tds it sucks, if he blows up on the 'boys training caps and holds out it looks brilliant. it is what it is.

 

Not surprised and, if he's the level of cancer I think he is, fine, but FFS draft another gotdamn WR. Bringing in some 30+ retread won't really help.

 

I understand that you are presenting speculation to justify a position that doesn't make sense.

 

FK. We just got worse and older at WR.

 

That is a defeatist attitude. Just because there is risk in any move doesn't mean some moves aren't really stupid.

 

Then don't trade him. Get the comp pick when he leaves after next season and you get a full season of two quality receivers. Also, it is only May 7. There was plenty of time. We don't know what opportunities could have come up a week or even a month from now.

 

I just saw a report that the Steelers are counting on Roman Wilson to make a big jump in 2025. Big jump from the nothing they got out of him last year? Great.

This is the team trying to act as if they have a real plan other than to just dump Pickens for pennies on the dollar.

 

I have been telling everyone that #14 will be available for DK to wear this year.

 

of course they are - it the NFL, 2nd year players HAVE to play and make inpact. He was drafted to MAKE AN IMPACT.

do you REALLY think this team can compete, even w/ Pickens?

If we can't be a top 10 running game, then forget it.

this it Tomlin SMALL BALL - play between the 20's and kick field goals

have none of you learned this year, after 20 years?

 

Well, true..... can't argue that. That wasn't really my angle.

The move still blows.
Why can't our coaching make these players work?
Why can't Pinky and the Brain figure out if it is the player or the coaching?
Do they really think signing a guy like Woods fills the hole?

You gotta admit, it is a little of a bizarro world.
Maybe they pull a rabbit out of the hat this week... I dunno.
My frustration is with the wasted effort, the lousy timing and just terrible planning.

 

me and you, a 2 man echo chamber, it appears!

and......WE ARE RIGHT (well.....a few other smart ones are lurking here.....)

 

Steelers are doomed without Pickens! Not........

 

BECAUSE OUR COACHES SUCK

AND

PICKENS IS BRAIN DEAD

 

correct.

 

I remember idiots that said when we traded Wallace, that we would not be able to score TD's

some fans are just ....

whatever......

 

You're not the smart one in your family are you?

We would have got a 3rd comp even if Pickens walked. A team would have landed him in a top 3 contract with ease.

 

I can almost see the GEICO cavemen saying this.

 

The Steelers haven't had much of plan about who is throwing the ball so it really no surprise they don't seem to have a plan about who is catching the ball.

This organization is completely tone deaf on offense and keeps doubling down on a head coach that is clueless.

 

I remember when people thought metcalf was not worse than pickens in drama. And that we got rid of a cancer...... oh wait they're still here.

 

well......I am SMARTER than a CAVEMAN!!

LOL - trust me

 

That big jump being seeing the field at all it seems.

 

Didn't he get a few snaps in one game, but no targets?
