The #Steelers are trading for #Vikings OL Jesse Davis, per rapsheet and @MikeGarafolo
.
from a vikings fan .....

Not sure how he will be used there but I think people here overreacting. He is ideally not starting for you but probably fine depth piece. He was slated as our starter till rookie Ed Ingram beat him out.

Sounds like he can play anything from tackle to center, so odds are decent he'll be better than somebody.
guessing they have 2 weeks to get him up to speed at RT and move Chuks to LT and Dan Moore JR to the bench ...Quote:

He can suck and also still be better than some of the guys we've got.Quote:

At least they realize there's a problem and are trying to do something about it this time, gotta give 'em that.
I won't turn down any help on the OL. Only way to go is up from here
If the Steelers come out of this season with a mid ranged O-Line…Tomlin and Kahn should be coach and executive of the year…lol
Absolutely. Should be fascinated.Quote:

From what Im reading on vikings boards, it seems like the general forecast is that Davis is a solid/serviceable guard/tackle. And he was a strong candidate to be cut only because he was beaten for the starting spot by a 2nd rounder, and supposedly the vikings have tons of youthful O-line depth that would be more valuable to keep in the long run. Also I keep seeing that he was going to be cut for salary cap savings. Theres hope, ill take it
He was with the dolphins before this season.Davis had signed as a free agent last march with the vikings
Slot him in like Gerry Mullins.
From reporting this morning sounds like this dude replaces Joe Haeg and/or Leglue and isn’t a threat to the “starters “
Fun.
I thought he played OG.Quote:

You're not getting a starter for a normal team that way, but given the state of the OL, I'd bet a lot of backups for other teams would be an improvement over a lot of our starters.
he's started 75 games in this league so there is that ... Dan Moore Jr isnt starter material either but if Davis doesnt that almost certainly means Moore doesQuote:
