people asking about #Steelers and free Agency ...my best answer is plug in the movie groundhog day and you will have all the answers I have ......
I haven't heard a single thing about the Steelers, not even a rumor.

Avery Williamson, like this much better than Timmons returning.
Nope. You snooze, you lose. Another ILB off the market...Quote:

Think I saw a tweet the other day about how a weak WR class has inflated the prices of FA receivers. Just another reason to be thankful that we have Juju and Bryant around on their rookie deals...
Sammy Watkins on a 3 year $48 million dollar deal. Abundant potential obviously with his pedigree, but little to show for it...the Sam Bradford of WR's as it stands for now
The Seahawks re-signed FS Bradley McDougald to a three year/$13 million deal. It is significant, because he is the ONLY free agent of their own that they even negotiated with, let alone re-signed.
That’s not starter money, but it does allow them to move Earl Thomas.
As in... please, let the Steelers be trading for Earl Thomas.
Seahawks re-sign S Bradley McDougald (3 years, $13.95 million): B GradeQuote:

Re-signing McDougald was important for the Seahawks. Given that Kam Chancellor will miss time with an injury, and Earl Thomas is talking about getting traded, McDougald will start numerous games next year. He's not a great player by any means, but he's a decent starter who plays well in coverage. His tackling needs to improve, but he certainly won't embarrass himself.
The money seems right for McDougald, so I'm going to award Seattle a solid "B" grade for this move.

I throw one at you........... After the Browns fire their coach after (or during) the 2018 season, Bill Cowher comes out of retirement to coach the Browns and leads them to the playoffs in 2019.Quote:

All the top LB's have been signed. Unless they can trade for Mychal Kendricks(someone I wanted them to trade for last offseason) they may have to look at safeties.
And all those guys got just goofy money. It is amazing that Hightower struggled to get $10 million on the open market last year and now guys that are not as good as him are easily getting 9+ million.Quote:

As of now....I think the market is leaning towards us getting OL depth in free agency. That seems to be where the supply/demand has value at this point. (Solder not withstanding)
Notice how (mostly) teams that don't suck year in and year out are NOT involved in this nonsense? I guess they Giants are usually good...but other than that....Quote:

Good....sorry to say it...but he was the weakest link in our defensive backfield.Quote:
