OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: No 3peat for the Swifts

[LeafSteel]

I’d be giving Bubby Brister a call before deciding on Rodgers…..

Signing Slay over Hobbs because Slay is a fan of Tomlin is the best representation of how stupid this franchise has become. What’s funny is that the Slay deal may not actually even be done yet.

I do wonder about the chances of Sanders sliding in the draft now that the Jets signed Fields. The Jets and Raiders are both definitely out of the QB market at this point, or at least the market for Sanders. Is there really anyone else in the market for a young QB picking above the Steelers? I’m not sure I see one.

I’m assuming the Giants trade up to #1 and take Ward, while the Titans run it back with Levis and target the 2026 draft for a QB instead. Beyond that, the only teams that catch my eye as potentially being interested in Sanders are Cleveland, NO and Indy. Not really a lot of teams there.

Kenny Pickett traded to the browns haha.

Bout retirement time for em he got his ring LOL

That Pickett trade is a super interesting wrinkle to the "does Sanders fall to the Steelers?" discussion. Browns are definitely out on a QB now.

No Slay yet.

Teryl Austin also coached Slay when he was in Detroit.

Barring a trade up I think Cam Ward to the Titans at 1. I don't think Pickett take the Browns out of contention for Sanders but there are better players available. Right now I'd guess Sanders to the Giants at 3 if they can't get Rodgers. They seem desperate.

 

[MrBrightside]

A lot of very good CB are gone so the Steelers can maybe or maybe not have one year of Slay. Today has been quite bad.

 

[Andy99]

It’s hard to know which of the Pittsburgh sports teams is a bigger embarrassment in their respective league, but I’m going to say the Steelers at this moment in time, no disrespect to the Pirates lol…Steelers should be better…Pens are falling fast too…sad times

 

[xlm34]

I’ll wait to see how everything plays out before fully judging, but I’m not really seeing the plan for this cap space. Make sure you get comp picks and roll space over to next year? Dunno.

They should punt on the upcoming season…not just comp picks for next season but they need a top 5 pick in 2026 with the expected QBs coming out….could be a pivotal draft for their future

Just wait until they pay Rodgers or Wilson $30M+ for 2025.

Probably the 2/30 20 million guaranteed the offered Fields

It’s the Pirates by a country mile and always will be.

They legitimately do not care about winning and exist solely to pad the Nutting family trust fund.

Pens are just in the natural cycle of rebuilding and Steelers try and want to be good, they’re just very incompetent.

Nutting's the nicest worst owner in the League. He's very popular amongst the decision makers because he's quite friendly, asks for little, and always does what he's told.

He has a license to print money in exchange for being hated by people mostly on the internet. Not a bad gig if you can get it.

You must not be around town. There's a significant "Sell The Team Bob" movement developing. I see the billboards pretty often.

 

[Peat]

I'm going to watch a bunch of hand selected Jaxson Dart clips so I can delude myself into thinking that Rodgers for a year and using a 1st rounder on Dart is actually not a criminally stupid idea.

Why watch the clips when you can just do meth instead.

 

[WickedWrister]

Haven't seen much chatter about this but I'd assume we'd be in on Javon Hargrave with Ogunjobi released.

Technically Hargrave is still under contract with the 49ers but I think he's expected to be released.

 

[WickedWrister]

 

[Snooki Stackhouse]

Seems like a good signing. I won't pretend to have watched him closely but in my head I seem to recall the Ravens D improving dramatically down the stretch so it's good to know he was part of that unit.

Pens have the most upside. Not afraid to do an actual rebuild.

 

[Pens x]

Khan handling of the QB situation this off season mirrors his WR decisions last off season. Start calling his dumbass Sleepy Hextall with his amazing “patience.”

Rodgers can’t even sign before Wednesday because the jets made him a post june cut
