2024 Free Agent Frenzy

As much as I hate the Steelers, I give them credit. Either you fit the player that they need or you are gone, they don't mess around.
Apparently Kenny was pissed off they brought in Wilson. There was that dust up with Rudolph last season where Pickett apparently refused to be second string so he didn’t dress. I believe he asked to be traded here and tomlin abides by the “volunteers not hostages” mentality which I believe is also why Johnson was possibly traded. Although Johnson isn’t a willing blocker and that’s kind of a requirement in an Arthur smith offense.

I thought Pickett was going to be really good too for whatever that's worth. Having said that, your FO isn't ready to give up on him yet. He had a pretty good finish his rookie year IMO. Like you said, Matt Canada was a train wreck so they'll let better coaching de-program his teachings to see what they really have.
I don't think Russell Wilson will be the solution to your passing game; but he's still Dange-Russ with escaping the pocket. That could be enough if their defense plays well. The reason I say that about him is because he hasn't been the same game since that brutal injury to the middle finger on his passing hand. He used to have a great zip and tight spirals coming out of his release. Since then, he's had a lot of wobbly releases which don't get to the target nearly as fast (and they change the accuracy some). All that said, he still clobbered the Browns last year.
I don’t know what the Steelers are going to do. I still think Kenny will challenge for that job and reports have indicated that Russ knows he’s coming in to compete for the job not be handed it. I’m ok with the Russ signing because he’s so cheap and he’s better than Rudolph and Mitch, both who are gone now. Paying him 1.2m is a no brainer. I believe Pickett is good. Canada was that bad.

Apparently your front office thought otherwise.
You can say I was right about him now, buddy.... ?

Yeah I could believe that. 9 great years. Being a stats and contracts guy here's a few.
SEASONSTEAMTOTAL CASH2 seasons
$7,058,2608 2 seasons
LA RAMS - $150,055,978. 7 Seasons. Numbers like that mean one thing the best.
Only 13 suspensions and fines for $210,000, not bad for the DL.

He was angry about the Wilson signing. He was a baby last season when Rudolph was given the start. People with good sources confirmed it even tho he himself denied it which is why the one game he didn’t dress despite being okay to be 3rd string due to injury recovery. Apparently he was on board with competing for the job but when the team brought in Wilson he changed his tune. Frankly that was enough for me because if he’s not willing to grind for the job I don’t want him anyway.
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -

As soon as I posted we agreed on this - it became "Welcome to Philly Pickett!" ? Do I dare say I still think Pickett can become a good QB in this league without Canada sacking his chances to do so? Yes.

You're a Steelers fan, I can understand you having rose-colored glasses for your first round QB.
What's funny is the "Browns" fans on here like Ghoolie and his butt-sniffer extraordinaire Gorka who kept going on and on about how "that Kenny Pickett just seems to have it." ?

Bummer!
Wilson Pickett won't be the greatest hit since Mustang Sally
(now just smoke from a distance ?)
Pickett (Sally), like Trubisky, prefer holding backup QB clipboards, instead of competing to start.. pussies
edit-- Browns FA's-- Jerry Jeudy's re-done contract, pays out prior FA moves w/5-6M left in cap room

That’s what happened tho, he would still be a Steeler otherwise. I still think the dude will find success. Guess we shall see.

Bears are trading Justin Fields to Steelers for a 2025* 6th-round pick that goes to a 4th-round pick based on playing 51% of snaps, per sources.Browns & Buffett: Got to go fishin, Down to rock bottom again, with just a few Friends -

Well THIS is an intriguing development.
Well THIS is an intriguing development.
It had felt this could happen right after the steelers traded Pickett. Tomlin loves fields and there was always mutual interest there. The Steelers love their buckeyes. Couple people I respect said there was still mutual interest and then this happened. It's wild for me as a steeler fan in the best of ways. Getting him for a 6th is insane and it only becomes a 4th if he plays 51% of the snaps next season. Id have been over the moon for a 4th. Still no guarantees with either qb but this room makes me a lot happier than Pickett, mitch and Mason.

Goddamn it, now I have to root for an ex-Buckeyes player to suffer a season-ending injury... ?
Bad enough Cam Heyward has played for the Steelers for like 24 years or something...

I had a REALLY SICK feeling the Bears would get this irresponsible. I hope they go 0-17. They already gave the Ravens Roquan Smith midway through 2022.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

I wonder what Russell Wilson thinks about this?
I wonder what Russell Wilson thinks about this?
He's the starter and was told he's the starter. I think russ is just happy to be starting somewhere and understands he's not the long term option. Dude is weird but he's always seemed like a good leader, legit loves his teammates. I think he takes fields under his wing, especially if he wants to play in the league whether it's the starter or a good back up assuming fields ascends.

Are you ok with the Steelers having so many "running quarterbacks" on your roster now? ?

yep sucks! not seeing the draft value these GM's are seeing either.
We saw Fields 9 sacks coming in as a rookie QB to Cleveland
2 years later
We saw Fields almost steal a game in Cleveland, we had to have last season.
Meanwhile, a jackass donkey in Denver, pays Russ Wilson to play in the AFCN
It's going to be a wild AFCN division again !

Ha, as long as the team is winning it's fine by me. Everyone saw the maturation of lamar under a good coordinator. They lost of course but he became a supremely stout qb across the board with insane wheels. I don't know how much russ is gonna be running but I love that part of fields. We shall see. I'm just glad to be rid of Matt fucking Canada lol.
