    I would have like some of these players, but IMO when You trade away picks for a Guy you want, 1st to know, will You be able to keep them, and two.....what is the chances I can draft a guy like him with those same picks. For example: S. Gardner.....I would have liked to add him, but do I think that I couldn't draft someone as good if I spent two 1st round draft picks on trying, not counting his salary, and the other player I gave up for him. So I don't actually think he's worth that. Because I believe if You let me draft two 1st round CBs , I could get one as good, and for way cheaper. JMO.

    Yep. The main driver is the APY of the the contract their new team gave them. You then add points for snap % and postseason honor/awards - but from the last season with the team they were signed away from, i.e., their 2024 season here.

    I'm not trying to state differently. But depending on what other priorities the club has - they've been doing the foot in each boat approach to competing and re-tooling for years - they dealt a certain hand to Smith in terms of personnel. The variation of the system he's running this year is old school compared to most in today's. Considering the pieces I think he's done well with it, but I have doubts on it's long-term efficacy.

    He is a nice player. Would be a good signing if he can still play.

    I'd be all over that if he really is healthy - Samuel underwent spinal fusion surgery in April to address a neck/shoulder injury that limited him to just four games in the 2024 season. He received clearance for football activities in early November 2025.

    Imagine being a Jets fan. Management stripping the team bare at the trade deadline and gambling on draft picks. They have NOTHING.

    Count your blessings being a Steeler fan.
