Good stuff, guys.

On the Steelers' talk: While I agree that getting Roethlisberger signed(especially to a fairly "reasonable" number) was important, I hope that now that's off their plate they're going to focus all efforts on taking care of keeping him upright.

That Pittsburgh OL needs an overhaul(needed it a year ago or more, actually.). I fear they may have pigeon-holed themselves a bit to do much, other than through the draft, this season. There are still some guys I see out there available as FA that could likely help, but I wonder what all this seemingly crazy spending is going to do to the players at that level(your Rex Hadnots, et al.) I think they intend to jettison Max Starks too, transition tag aside, unless he'll sign uber-cheap. No way are they paying him 6million. That's another potential loss on an already meager unit if it happens.

With the Steelers' talent at the skill positions they SHOULD be able to be looked at as a nice little fantasy point sweet spot .....but without an offensive line that can keep #7 from getting murdered I fear it's going to limit their success. (Not just for fantasy purposes, FWIW.)
