And Bryant apparently got a plan in place and sent it in to the commish quick enough for him to look at and approve in less than 2 weeks which is a good sign

Steelers still brought in too many WRs on official visits to throw the position out as a draft pick. I think it can be moved down the priority list a bit now, but still on the list. Remember, he's just one more fail away from a possible life ban.

The "plan" appears to be more Goodell posturing

As far as "plans" go Mike Tyson said it best

Brown
Bryant
Coates
Hunter
Rogers

leaving the following fighting for the team to sacrifice 1 more roster spot than the normal to give them a job , IMO that will have to be earned as a ST ace 11 guys vying for 5 -6 jobs at max so no draft pick at WR this year

Ayers

I don't know there is room for a draft pick. Hunter and Rogers are talented but replaceable. Hamilton, Stewart, Tucker are just "guys". Ayers is as replaceable as Rogers. DHB is a two trick pony at this point - others might do those same tricks better. Severin is a dart throw. They may want to throw more than one dart.

Stop being so confrontational!

I'll end you with my samurai-ninja-brain-liquefying strike! :rofl2:


If O.J. Howard ever fell to #30, I don't know that they could pass on that. I don't think there's any chance that will happen. I think he's going to go very high.

After that, I really think that they would be looking for a complete TE that is a strong blocker. Kittle makes a ton of sense later. I know that all of the tight ends are in play, but I find it hard to believe they would draft another tight end that isn't a strong blocker.

I literally have no idea what they're going to do with the first pick. With all the chaos of the last few days....diluted samples and rape charges.....and whatever else happens.....who knows which players will fall. I'm not discounting anything at this point.

Define replaceable. Because Rogers had a great rookie campaign. He was more productive, than Manny Sanders and Antonio Brown were combined in their rookie seasons. Surely you were as excited as most about their potential after their rookie campaigns?

Eli Rogers rookie season:48 receptions, 594 receiving yards, 3 receiving TD's (played 13 games)
Manny Sanders + Antonio Brown rookie season: 44 receptions, 543 receiving yards, 2 receiving TD's (played 21 combined games)

Still only 24 years old. I can understand no confidence votes on all of our receivers not named Antonio Brown except for the ones on Eli Rogers. Everything is looking up for him

Since day one AB was electric with the ball in his hands. Sanders, while less so, was also pretty good. Rogers is not - http://www.steelersdepot.com/2017/04/eli-rogers-growth-must-come-ball-hands/

Look I think Rogers is a pretty good slot WR, but I can see a draft pick accidentally taking his job. Like the Steelers were not intentionally replacing him, but just can't keep New Guy off the field.

I think it is quite unlikely, however, that a draft pick would accidentally take his job. While Rogers hasn't been electric with the ball in his hands, he has been pretty dang stable. He does exactly what we want a third receiver to do. Catch the ball for a few yards whenever we need him to. The type of receivers I think you're talking about are the type that would challenge for the first or second spot, and then disappear for the best salary asap if they can't get it here (which they won't as long as AB and Bryant are on the field). I'd rather stick with a guy like Rogers who comes in and does the job well day in and day out.

I could be wrong but ...

I think Bryant has a couple years left here at min. because I do not believe the full year susp counts as a year towards FA ..... so he would have a RFA year at the end where we could give him a 1st round tender and if someone wanted him bad enough could extend an offer sheet but would have to pony up a 1st rounder if we did not match it

I believe you are correct. He was drafted in 14 and played that year and in 15. Pretty sure I heard 16 doesn't count so that gives us 17 and 18 with him.

That is correct. He lost a year (has to wait an extra year to be a free agent), because his year-long suspension doesn't count as a year of service.

And, that's exactly what I'd do: offer him a R1 tender with the option to match.

I think you're right. Although we are happy to have him back, MB hasn't shown the maturity that would lead us to believe he's figured it out and is a long term solution. Honestly I'd be surprised if he didn't Ricky William his way out of the league or off the Steeler roster anyways.

I tend to agree with this. I see Hunter making the team, although I don't know that it's necessarily at the expense of DHB. It would depend on the draft.

I really want to see what Hunter can do with a good QB and playing on a good team.

Great news and it gives us the option to see what Hunter can do in TC and preseason before we have to make a decision on him. 2 days ago we were iffy at WR, today we are in a great place. Now lets get some solid picks and start the road to our next ring. I am hoping this reinstatement gets Ben psyched up for a great offensive year!

I have no idea on the future of DHB. I think he is maybe moved into the ST/Emergency role. We still need that until we know how Bryant is going to work out, plus if Coates can make a full recovery and get back to his early season form. Neither is a guarantee, which is my point on drafting another WR. Bryant is reinstated to enter the facility now. He still has work to do before he can rejoin the team. IMO, a WR like Reynolds or Hollins in the 3rd/4th, or Golladay in the 4th-6th, would be a smart pick.

On the Hunter signing, I don't care if he stays or goes. He hasn't stuck with a team yet. We keep saying "pass happy league", and a guy with his measurable keeps moving around? Quacks like a red flag to me.

With the conditional reinstatement of Martavis Bryant to the NFL, there remained some outstanding contractual issues for the league to confirm. As of Wednesday morning, it appears those outstanding questions have been put to rest following adjustment to the NFLPA contract database.

Bryant is now officially showing as being under contract to the Pittsburgh Steelers for both the 2017 season and 2018 seasons, with an amended base salary for each year. Based on NFLPA figures, this is the remaining contract Bryant is set to receive.

I don't. At least, not for one. However, thanks for explaining it. I actually really like this accountability that's been set up by Goodell/league.

Yeah it is a good thing for the players especially if they do really see it that way. Your right, missing one probably nothing but multiple misses scares me some.

When one of those guys has been suspended for 20 games over the past 2 seasons he is not in the same position as co-workers who have not been suspended repeatedly to the detriment of the team and is in no position to be busting on anyone.

In an interview in the P-G today Ben lays down what Bryant needs to do instead

Roethlisberger felt betrayed and even lied to by Bryant before the second suspension.

“It’s more than just me. He has to win back everybody’s trust,” Roethlisberger said. “I would hope he comes up to me and we go somewhere to talk in private. After that, he has to show with his work ethic and by staying clean that he cares — really cares — about us. If he does that, it’ll be huge. He can really help us. He can be so great.”

Yeah it is a good thing for the players especially if they do really see it that way. Your right, missing one probably nothing but multiple misses scares me some.

Can't say I blame you. Addiction does that. However, I do like what I've heard from him for the most part. I also like the continued help. In fact, it reminds of drug court where people are mandated to attend—and drug court successes are much, much higher than trying to get sober otherwise.

Addicts can convince people they are doing well. It's part of the condition. I truly hope he's really good, but I'm ignoring anything he says. He's going to have to prove it by doing it.

What "challenge" is accepted once again?

Showing up for and passing a drug test after failing to do so repeatedly?

Talk is cheap

Bryant shouldn't be allowed to have a twitter account. Guy stay off social media and keep your head in the playbook and focused on your family. In other words shut up and show us something!!

I wouldn't say 'forget' necessarily, but there is an ability to look past him now. If he's available, great. If not, we have it covered. I think that is more the overall feeling toward Bryant right now.

Green hasn't really been a part of the team up to now. At least the 'on the field' part. So, much easier to 'forget' Green.

With all that Bryant's been through, you would think that a bit of humility might surface once in a while.

He's digging a deeper hole....with the fans and more importantly with his coaches and teammates.

Green has let us down due to no fault of his own, Bryant on the other hand has dug this hole completely on his own. Now it seems to me that he is on his way back to redemption(which I'm happy for him) and he's acting like nothing ever happened and that people should just forget the wasted season he cost his team and fans.

Every time this floats to the top of my feed, my brain assumes it is a new thread about Bryant being banned.

Pessimistic part of me takes over. I'm giddy about the potential of this WR corps. DHB is your worst wideout? Sweet googly moogly that's an embarrassment of riches.
