    Didn’t think Pierre was ranked so high. He signed 2 years for $8.5M with the Vikings.

    Dollars are good. 2025 performance was great - allowed a 47 passer rating when targeted, similar to JP Jr. The downside is that he turns 30 about halfway through the ‘26 season.

    Like this a lot more than the Pittman trade.

    Uh, understatement. He was rated the 11th best CB in the NFL last season by SIS. 33.3% completion against?!? That's shutdown.

    Uhhh, I dunno. Liked signing Asante and pairing him up with Pierre n JPJ. Instead we lose Pierre n sign another version of him. With all things being equal and money wasn’t a prob why make it harder than it has to be?

    Get rid of the "L" put in an "S" and we got us a "James Dean". And let's hope he is a rebel with a cause.;)

    I've seen this mentioned several places. Dean being older.

    Unless I screwed up reading the pipes and tubes of the internet....Dean is one entire month older than James Pierre.

    If I knew that, I would have never approved this deal.

  21. I'm pretty sure He's the top corner I wanted us to aquire.

    I just hope our new DC keeps very close to our old system with being aggressive.

    We now have at another low level CB1 or a high level cb2.

    Mega kudos to the Steelers brass.

    Dean is a significantly better player than Pierre.

    Thanks for the correction. Must have just read too fast. Or too dumb. Something related to getting old.
