OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Off Season We dont need a QB Edition

The Steelers are Rodgers bitch!
They offered him a contract if he signs he signs. If he doesn’t he doesn’t.
Cam was talking about the sense of urgency trying to win for him TJ and Minka. They have DK GP and Austin they can compete in the race to 30

The way they're going about it though is disgusting. If you wanna be here it shouldn't take this long. This is Diva behavior and shouldn't be entertained or tolerated in any way shape or form! They're embarrassing themselves.

who knows but the Steelers are still out scouting and working on the draft prep. If he wants to drag it out till June so what. Maybe he waits until an injury happens in august.
Right, so you're letting a 41 yr old hold you hostage. It's pathetic! Surely you see it makes them look feeble, yes?

How is he holding them hostage. They have been able to sign who they wanted in fa so far. They have 40 million in cap space. There’s no big money fa left. They have the TJ extension in august if they need cap space. Guys like Patterson and Lowery will be cut after the draft and they will have post June free agency

They've signed over the hill guys or nobodys! No one very good. That doesn't further your argument at all actually.
 
You know, there's not one team in PITT except RM that is currently likeable. Pitt sports has really taken a down turn.
There are three periods since the 60s where Pittsburgh sports have been this bad across the board.

Late 80s - End of Noll's tenure, penguins had lemieux but still sucked, pirates were bad, Pitt FB sucked. I guess if you were PSU fan it was ok in 86.

Early 2000s - gen x pre Sid pre cap, Tommy Maddox, pirates were a dump. Pitt hoops were fun though and the new stadiums just opened up.

Now - sunset of Sid and geno, Aaron Rodgers purgatory, Bob Nutting, and whatever's going on at Pitt.

We'll get out of it soon, these phases only last 5 years or so.

They signed the best coverage cb in free agency. They weren’t going to spend big money on DL because they are drafting 2. Most teams don’t let good players get to free agency

He's ancient and lost playing time to Dejean later in the season. Although I think very highly of Dejean. Slay is serviceable but not elite. He's a one year band aid.

It’s been 7 or 8 so far since 2017

How is he holding them hostage? Is there something he's prohibiting the team from doing by not signing?

Yeah I just do not understand the holding them hostage narrative that’s getting thrown around. Or that it makes the Steelers look pathetic.

It’s not like other starting level QBs are signing while they wait for Rodgers to make his decision. The only other guy out there is Wilson and I think at this point it’s very clear that they had no actual interest in bringing him back — no matter what Rooney or Khan said.

Right he is old and its a 1 year deal but he didn’t lose snaps he had the 2nd most defensive snaps on the eagles last season. Cooper played more slot snaps. He can teach JPJ and Trice some tricks in man coverage
