Pickett will be the starter by week 5So much for "football justice for Kenny", I guess? No way is Russ signing without a guarantee he starts, imo, even at the low base (since I assume there will be incentives.
1.2 million.Giant bird flip to Denver, that.
At what position? Long snapper?
Having watched Pickett over the last two years, I find it hard to believe you think this would be good for the Steelers.
There won’t be any incentives for this season. Any money he gets from the Steelers is money he doesn’t get from Denver.
Wilson threw twice as many TDs last year as Kenny has his entire career. If he "stinks" Kenny is rotting deer carcass smelly. They just added a piece that could help them win a playoff game even if Herbig is the center in 2024. They'll likely add a center though and while thin at ILB they could get by with what they have. They'll be better than they were last year, easily.
Vikings seem like a good fit for Rudolph. NE seems like a sneaky play now that they traded Jones and they have pretty much no one at QB.
Queen will be a hefty price so I don't see that, although would love to get an impact player like him at LB. Gay is average, nothing special, but an upgrade from what they have. Howard is aging and not what he used to be. They just rid themselves of Peterson, so another old dude on the decline makes little sense in the secondary.
Queen is a biproduct of Roquan Smith. I think that unless he's paired with an excellent at his next team he will disappoint. Howard feels like our Haden signing, except 2 years older and more of a hassle.
ugh he signed with Jacksonville
100% this. Everyone griping about Wilson, but he's probably going to cost less than 1/4 what it would cost to sign Mason. It's a 1-year rental, I can't see us signing him long term unless something miraculous happens this year like winning the AFC Championship. Also, they can tell him he's the starter, but if he sucks then it's almost inconsequential to cut him or bench him.
Fowler said that the Steelers were fighting hard to sign him, wonder if the issue was guarantees or if they just had a cap on value due to his age.
This is the problem I have with SF. Drafting guys like Pickett and Rudolph over better options at other positions, just because QB is too important you have to roll the dice on one, because you have to give up your first born to trade for a good one. IMO the position is more risky than any other position. I know you guys love the format and I've been learning about it for about a year, but there are things about it preventing me from taking the plunge.
No he isn't LOL.. He is going to be 36 in 2025, and will want big money.. Steelers aren't paying him.
Hoping we still hear about a Cam and James Daniels extension to lower their cap hits.
Not sure about the one year, that's TBD, but all the other stuff, yes.
Good list. Cushenberry signed with the Titans a little while ago.
Like the thinking since Diontae >>> Claypool, but asking price is top 90 pick to get in the conversation. If the best offer is a 4th, then keep Diontae one more season and probably get a 3rd round compensatory pick in return. Could see a team needing a strong WR2 making the move
Great signing.. Very important as they will be punting a lot with Wilson as QB.
Luvu Signed with Washington 3yrs/$36 million
Missed opportunity for us, I think $36 was the max, something like $33 is base.

There's no justice is there. Idk why Pittsburgh wanted to be douchebags about it. Terrible imo. Whats the message behind it: be a good teemate, save the season, and then still get replaced by one of the biggest a-holes in the league?
They drafted him and never gave him a chance.. In 2019, as soon as he made a mistake, he was benched for Duck Freaking Hodges.. Then after Ben retired, they sign Mitch, who everyone with a brain knew sucked. Then even last season, he finally got a chance after they realized Mitch sucked and Kenny may not be it, what did he do, pretty much saved their season and got them to the playoffs. His play in the last part of the season, was QB play we haven't seen since Ben retired. Then what do they do, they still kick him to the curb after that.
I hope George Pickens beats up.
If he has a very good 2024, why not be willing to pay him for a couple more years. If he doesn't, then they let him walk. Who cares? This is a perfect 1 year audition that cost the Steelers virtually nothing.
