He is a great Twitter follow.

He is a great Twitter follow.

100%!!! I follow him, Bince, and the Big Ragu.

Bince has mellowed out (he's kind of in a funk this past year). Ramon has settled down, as well... because he has a radio show in Tennessee. But, Zack is still fun, fun, fun!!! The banter back-&-forth between him & Ramon (about their moms) is worth the price of admission.

Banner is in. He just put a video up. Its pretty much unfolding as we had discussed. Feiler, gone. AV, should be next to leave in FA. Finney is back as some veteran insurance at Center. Should see a C/G in the draft and a OT in the draft or free agency.

Projected Oline LT-Okorafor, LG-Dotson, C-Finney, RG-DeCastro, RT-Banner.

ya know , that line may be as good or better than what we fielded last year ...

Pouncey was clearly not the same player the past couple seasons he looked slower and quickness was what his game was predicated on , Finney isnt Pouncey in his prime but perhaps better than what Pouncey would have been in 2021

Dotson is a mauler with a mean streak and that has been needed on this team for sometime IMO

Banner beat out Chuks as the opening day Starter in 2020 so starting him at RT shouldnt be any let down and pardon the cliche he seems to be in the best shape of his life

Decastro is Decastro ...

Chuks time to shine is now , if he can handle his business I think the line is fine

[hawaiiansteeler]

2 years for 9.5 mil with a 3.25 signing bonus.

Yeah, the depth is pretty thin, but hopefully the draft and some tier 2 FA fill out the roster.

Okorafor allowed 3 sacks last year. Not bad at all. I dont think his run blocking was great, but I still am not sure the OC and O line coach had things squared away to the point that the O line was in a position to succeed in the run game. I still expect to see an O lineman drafted on the first 2 days of the draft to possibly add to the competition and depth.

I'm glad Banner is a better football player than the Rock.

Speaking of The Rock, have you ever noticed how much he looks like Dwayne Johnson...

Steelers re-sign OT Zach Banner (2 years, $9.8 million; $3.25 million guaranteed): A Grade

Zach Banner won the starting right tackle job in training camp, but lost it right away when he suffered a torn ACL in the season opener. It seemed as though the Steelers were going to be able to buy Banner at a low price, and that's exactly what they did with this signing.

This is a great move. The Steelers already lost Maurkice Pouncey and Matt Feiler this offseason, so they couldn't let another offensive linemen get away. Banner, who is getting just $3.25 million in guarantees, should be 100 percent or close to it because his torn ACL occurred so early in the season.

You can't argue with the numbers. Getting a starting tackle for that number is amazing.

I know that the injury is a concern, but I think the team is happy to get a valued player at a good price and Banner is happy to have a team believe in him and give him the chance to show what he can do. If he plays well, a lot of money will come later. I don't think he was drawing too much attention from other teams. This is a win/win.

Banner’s cap charge in 2021 will be just $3.15 million and his cap charge in 2022 is scheduled to be $6.625 million. After roster displacement takes place, the Steelers will use just $2.49 million in salary cap space to sign Banner.

Banner tweets out a picture of Darkseid and the word “Today”. Steelers fans respond as such:

STEELHAT: So, you’re saying JuJu is re-signing!!!

STILLBOAT: Darkseid is a bad guy... oh!!!... we are extending our bad guy’s (TJ’s) contract.

BLANKETOFSTEEL: He’s wearing purple... like a Viking... Kyle Rudolph!!!

STILLSTEEL: Cut Banner for not posting a Marvel villain!!!

STEELSTILL: Fire Tomlin!!! Fire Colbert!!! Trade up into the top ten and draft Kyle Trask!!!

BANNER: Uh, guys... the Snyder cut is being released today.
