Santonio really, really wants to come back.

Brown
Bryant
Wheaton

With Moore gone, and can we please forget about Justin Brown and Derek Moye, to be honest with you if it's cheap enough I would make sure Holmes understands his role as WR4, and sign him cheap, and just have Goodwin compete with late draft pick / udfa / camp bodies for that last WR spot.

I would have no problem with us bringing him back, I always liked what he and Ben did playing street ball. He was clutch for us at one time.

If he has no problem being the #4 WR, and he's reasonably healthy, I say do it. He already knows a little bit of the offense and he knows Ben. His lack of speed isn't much of a concern if he can still get open. They already have Bryant who can stretch the field.

If he's recovered some of that speed, he could also function as a possible returner. I don't think it would hurt to see what he has left. Honestly....I don't even think he has to be "fast" to be a returner.

I have always been of the mindset that the #4 receiver position should be a young prospect, learning the playbook and preparing to move up.
I hate wasting that slot on a player who is on the decline.

Between Brown, Wheaton, Bryant, and whoever gets WR5, that's four young players already. If the choice for WR4, considering the load of young WRs we have already, is between Santonio, DHB, and some late rounder or roster cut... easy choice IMO. Not saying Santonio will happen but it's not like the position is aching for young potential, we can afford, and probably would benefit from, staffing with a vet.

[Psycho Ward 86]

what makes any of you figure that Santonio still has any speed worth a damn after that lisfranc injury?

[st33lersguy]

Linsfranc injury that has pretty much ruined him + locker room cancer + has done very little since being traded to the Jets= no thank you. It will be very sad if Tomlin lets Sansmokio back to the locker room after he got himself kicked out in the 1st place, especially since he hasn't done anything to warrant returning to the Steelers since he got himself kicked out

[SteelerFanInStl]

#4 WR needs to play STs and I don't see Santonio doing that.

[Lady Steel]

How did Le'Veon smokin' the dope work out for us?

Yeah, moving right along...
