House Cleaning today. Steelers are dumping some chumps into the street, Steeler Fans will probably have a parade, or at the minimum pop up Conga Lines. gone: Trubisky, Harvin III, Okorafor. I wonder how Pittsburgh will address free agency acquisitions, there are more holes than draft picks.
I feel like they make a play for Tannehill but won’t overpay. If that doesn’t happen, then I could see a potential trade with Chicago to address the QB issue(s). Rudolph has stated he’s looking for a fresh start, but he’s thankful to the Steelers.
Mason Cole has been released. The team freed up another 4 million in cap space. Now center is a big need because we don’t have one that is starter ready on our roster.
Bit of a surprise move. Well, not so much the move but the timing of the move. Thought he’d stick until final cuts at least even with the roster bonus he was due. Very rare for them to go into the draft with such blatant holes. Cole had a rough year, but felt he would be a valuable backup/mentor to the rookie I hope they draft. Maybe Cole requested the release. Just hope there is a solid plan in place and they aren’t completely relying on a rookie they don’t know for sure if they will get
Add Diontae Johnson to the bus out. I don't think DJ lived up to his contract, but this really hurts the WR depth. Put the cap savings towards a different WR. Calvin Ridley still available.
With the signing of Wilson at Quarterback the Steelers have to consider themselves in a win now position. We’ve got this season and maybe two more for us to have a window to be champions. So we need to draft players that can help us accomplish that. We need a center and CB desperately so let’s concentrate on that and weapons for Wilson to abuse defenses with.
