I would love it if they signed DHB and Beanie

why?

DHB is a less-talented version of Mike Wallace with worse route running skills and more inconsistent hands

Beanie Wells has a vagina and she menstruates weekly, typically on Sundays.

Lmao damnit Im trying to be serious but that Beanie line was gold.

Personally I like DHB and he was really raw when Oakland drafted him but he showed promise and growth. Plus you cant count on Oakland to actually use a player correctly. And with Beanie...well I am desperate for a damn RB and I have good memories of watching him on Saturdays. I would really like Steven Jackson but thats probably out of the question. I also like Hillis but you never know if he will actually try.

DHB is a lesser version of Wallace

Wells is Rashard Mendenhall as a transgendered football player

seriously, we can get better than either of them in the 3rd round this year

edit - ah....OSU Buckeye...

Correct, DHB is a lesser Mike Wallace. However, with our current WR situation, I'll take him over damn near anyone on our team not named Antonio Brown. Emmanuel Sanders is being baited by the Pats...if he's gone, our WR's are LOL worthy. BRB Plaxico Burress/Jericho Cotchery is our #2 WR.

Beanie was hopeful, but obviously he has major knee injuries...so I'll pass on him. Michael Turner might be worth some consideration, or Peyton Hillis?

Victor Butler appears to be a nice OLB, but I doubt that happens.

Can we even field a competitive team next year? Really... William Gay at CB2, Plaxico/Cotchery at WR3 (probably WR2), some no-name at TE1, Redman/Dwyer as a RB1, Antonio Brown as a WR1 (he's not a WR1).

[FormulaLT1poweR]

Jets signed OG Willie Colon to a one-year, $1.2 million contract.
Pro Football Focus graded Colon as a top-15 run-blocking guard and top-25 pass-blocking guard in 2012, but charted him with the most penalties in the league at the position. Turning 30 in April, Colon figures to replace Brandon Moore as the Jets' starting right guard. New York now has four starting offensive linemen in place: LT Brick Ferguson, C Nick Mangold, RG Colon, and RT Austin Howard.

Turner is shot
Gay will be CB3/4
Cotchery will be WR3
Miller is TE1
RBBC again

[FormulaLT1poweR]

Gay will be CB3/4
Cotchery will be WR3
Miller is TE1
RBBC again

Tuner is shot...but still better than Redman/Dwyer.
Gay was brought in to battle Cortez Allen for CB2. We got him for a reason...and he's been a CB2 before...
If Emmanuel Sanders leaves to N.E., Cotchery becomes a laughable WR2.
We HOPE Miller is a TE1, remember he's not Adrian Peterson.
More like SRBBC (s, standing for $hitty).

Who's ready for a 4th place AFCN finish?

they think Allen is ready to start. I dont see Sanders leaving at this point as the Pats signed a similar WR this morning, plus they have very few picks and would have to overpay Sanders for the Steelers not to match. plus an extra 3rd might result in a pretty nice player with the depth this year.

as for the division, Im not worried about this year, they need to remodel. even if the Browns/Bengals got slightly better or did nothing at all have you seen the Ravens? they are going to be in far worse shape than the Steelers.

[jross2021]

Do want that little white rb outta ne

[thegenerel]

Do want that little white rb in me

Hes always injured anyway. :/.

Rumor is that victor Butler is asking 5-5.5M

The Steelers won't pay that

I watched him play in Dallas all last year, the kids got potential

[kethnaab]

yeah, can't argue that part.

if we get a 3rd rounder for Emmanuel Sanders, that would be glorious

our front office is getting really fukking stupid

Rumor is that victor Butler is asking 5-5.5M

horry sheet. BRB, asking for almost as much as Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril

pretty sure the Eagles are out after Barwin.

[FormulaLT1poweR]

Victor Butler left Pittsburgh without a contract.

Pittsburgh signed Matt Speath.

Seriously WTF is going on.

Where is Chris Ivory...I'd take him too.

[FormulaLT1poweR]

Updating a previous item, the Washington Observer-Reporter reported that Emmanuel Sanders left New England Friday without signing an offer sheet.
The Patriots are still considering whether to make an offer to Sanders, which would require them to give the Steelers their third-round draft pick if Pittsburgh didn't match the offer and allowed Sanders to walk.

Restricted free agent Emmanuel Sanders has signed an offer sheet with the Patriots.
The terms are not yet known, but the Steelers now have five days to match or let Sanders walk. Although "poison pill" offer sheets were outlawed in the new CBA, the Patriots have an abundance of 2013 cap room while the Steelers have next to none. It's quite possible the Pats have structured their offer in a way that would be difficult or impossible for the Steelers to match. If that's the case, Pittsburgh would receive New England's third-round pick as compensation since Sanders was tendered at the original-round level. It's an aggressive move by a Patriots team clearly intent on remaking its receiver corps, and an ominous development for a Pittsburgh club that's been shedding talent. Were Sanders to end up in New England, it would almost certainly signal an end to Brandon Lloyd's time with the team.

[FormulaLT1poweR]

OH LAWD...PLEASE LET THESE TWO THINGS HAPPEN:

The Baltimore Sun reports the Steelers are interested in free agent DE Elvis Dumervil.
Reporter Aaron Wilson considers the Steelers a team to "keep an eye on." Dumervil has now been connected to the Steelers and Ravens since Friday's contract fiasco, and expressed interest in playing for the Dolphins. If the price is right, he'd restore the pass-rushing heat Pittsburgh lost when it cut James Harrison.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Steelers and Packers have expressed interest in free agent Ahmad Bradshaw.
They're the first teams Bradshaw has been linked to since being released by the Giants last month. Bradshaw (foot surgeries) was cleared to begin visiting teams two weeks ago. Both Green Bay and Pittsburgh could use a jolt of talent in the running game, and Bradshaw — despite his injury history — is easily the top remaining free-agent back. He could soon start lining up visits.

[Backus21]

I didnt know where else to post this because the sports misc nfl mock draft thread is cluttered with everyone posting. So general and keth, we are on the clock. Who are we taking? The trolling angle is gone because someone picked Honey Badger was taken 12 lmao. What are your thoughts gentlemen?

[thegenerel]

just saw the PM...let me see who is there.

[Backus21]

I heard some other teams wanna move up so there is an angle we can use. We might be able to pick up another 2nd or 3rd rounder if there is no one we are "in love" with this pick. Trading back could get us that corner from Florida State whos name escapes me, Big Hank the NT, or Lacy. Or we can keep the pick and go with somebody you guys are interested in.

Just pick another rapist and get it over with.

I vote Vaccaro or trade back

[Backus21]

Yeah I like Rhodes, Hankins, and Lacy but picking either of them would be way to high at 17. My vote is to trade back. Try to get into that 24-29 range to snag one of those guys. And for the record, I am not a fan of Jarvis Jones. Too risky
