I'm guessing that it has something to do with quoting a post that has a tweet in it.
Joe Thomas is retiring. That leaves a gaping hole at LT for the Browns.

This intrigues me, but he's hurt a lot and has already torn BOTH of his ACL's by age 25.Quote:

I'm intrigued also but yea, the injuries are scary and some team is going to offer him a big contract. Maybe that will give us a better chance of signing one of the other FA safeties.Quote:

So, an injury prone player who despite playing a ton of snaps last season (for the first time ever) made less impactful plays, ranked in the middle of the CB pack in coverage, and Mike Hilton had 3 more sacks, same # of INTS and only 1 less pass defensed.
But yeah, let's get to the front of the line to give the dude a big pay-day. Great player, but he is already more name than game.
Really hope they'll offer something for Kendricks. He is not Shazier but he would bring speed to the defense.
Trade for Kendricks (A 5th rounder for MK, or maybe Sensabaugh+7th rounder for MK)
Sign: Safety, Terrence Brooks
Sign: ILB, Kevin Pierre-Louis
People/media (not directed at a single person here) keep ragging on Mathieu because of his “injuries” yet he led the league in plays played in 2017. Yet some of the same say Maurkice Pouncey isn’t injury prone...his injuries are “excused”...
Just saying.
Bradham re-signing with Eagles. Eagles also signing Ngata to a one year deal.
Demario Davis (LB) gonna sign with the Saints...
Todd Davis (LB) re-signing with the Broncos...
Patriots keep Rex Burkhead
Another possible signing gone...Quote:

I think Boston could be the one they are going after but Mathieu is an intriguing name...the money they would have to pay isn’t Steeler-like.
Can Heyward wants to speak to the Honey Badger though...lol.
I'll take Boston over Mathieu.

The Dolphins released Suh and Julius Thomas.

There's also a rumor of a trade between the Raiders and Bengals for Burfict. I hope that happens so that we can get that POS out of our division. It figures that Chuckie would want him since he was crying so much when JuJu knocked the crap out of him.
History of Pouncey injuries:
http://www.steelersdepot.com/2014/06...rkice-pouncey/
Not sure "injury prone" describes this guy at all. IMO, that would describe a guy like Senquez Golson that injures himself or just has freakish injuries happen. Pouncey was injured by other players while playing. To me, there's a HUGE difference. Every player gets injured.
Wonder what much it would take to land Preston Brown(Via Buffalo)?
In his 4 years he has totaled 512 tackles(283 the past two years) but only has 1 career sack. Could be an underrated signing, still just 25 years old.
Don't know much about his coverage abilty. Assuming it's not great since he is still on the market.
What is the over/under on the number of days into FA before the Steelers sign a player?
My bet is 6 days.
Steelers in Free Agency
1. Sign our own free agent players first - not named Le'Veon Bell
2. Put out "feelers" that are sometimes serious and sometimes "WTH, it wouldn't hurt" type inquiries.
3. Wait a few days and sign role players or decent players that could possibly start, that only a few have heard about. No "big name" free agents.
4. Rinse and repeat.
5. Use said players to continue being one of the best teams in the NFL year in and year out with a three year break thrown in the mix every decade or so.Quote:

As much as it's exciting to think of what we might do with all the cap space we've been clearing with restructures, a large amount of that was for Bell-Einstein, and we have a few more active roster holes that we need to fill with the recent releases. We are talking about bringing back Mitchell for less money - that means we probably are not going to sign a $10M-a-year guy to fill any of those positions. We may have more like $3-4M each to spend on three or four positions. I bet the first move they make is something like signing a backup defensive tackle for 2 years and $4 million or something completely yawn-inducing.
When do the Steelers get involved during the first week of FA? When was Alualu signed, I think after the first week, may have been during the first week though.
