And imagine going from that Vikings offense to the Steelers offense. How much over-payment would have been enough for him to make that move?
And fired the OC. And probably changed the HC. But that's a lot of legs in your parlay.
My guess is that this is a minimum contract so it doesn't affect the cap if he makes the team (just "displaces" another minimum level contract at...
Does anyone thing Darnold would have picked coming to the Steelers and our woeful offense when his other option was the Seahawks (and potentially...
Yep. While still getting targets to Bernard. Hopefully the defense can get off the field this year so we aren't essentially last in offensive...
Enough. 1st year cap hits a generally low since most of the players cash in year 1 will be from the SB. And that gets spread over (up to) 5 years....
I hope the 2nd part is correct. His APY is less than PF's though. And PF's contract is 2 years old IIRC. So I still worry that we won't use him...
Yep...early signings like this tend to be good for the team as the prices only go up as we get closer to the season.
This. IMO, the only way we trade PF is if someone dramatically overpays. And they won't. It will be interesting to see if he can deliver big...
It's not really limiting them because we aren't paying a QB or any OTs. But it is a bad contract. Hopefully he can rebound to at least 2024...
Good call Hackjam. Per OTC it's $12.6mm dead if we traded him pre Jun 1 ($5.7mm cap loss). But only $4.2mm after (2.7mm cap savings)? So...
I really like this deal. I personally think that we should continue to use Washington more than PF this year. He's just too versatile. And I...
This...my guess is that it's BS. But who knows?
That's the first I've heard of the "locker room being cleaned out" part. If this is all we got for Highsmith, it's a pretty big L for Omar IMO.
This would be a horrible trade IMO. Boutte is a low end WR2 at best. Picking him up would steal snaps from Bernard, who we want to develop. If...
Makes sense since he plays the 2nd highest paid position. So it would happen at edge after QB but before other positions. And edge is rotational....
I think it will happen. But more on a similar timeline as Watt's 2nd contract. IMO, Watt took that long because he knew the business of the NFL...
And because Watt dramatically wins if you look back 3 years. Pretending that adding the production over three years tells a story that's relevant...
The thing is that because of who he was 2024 was the down year for "TJ Mother-f'n-Watt". Then 2025 was worse. If he bounces back to his 2024,...
I think our problem is that we have been pretty bad at drafting offensive players. IMO the job of the GM is to acquire good players and retain...
