    Free Agents (a little early, but...)

    Reading up before the Lions played the Bears on Thanksgiving, and the Lions are not going to re-sign (or they will cut??) Darius Slay.

    That would be one of those sneaky signings that Colbert loves to make.

    Re: Free Agents (a little early, but...)

    I'd like to see us sign Case Keenum to be in one of two roles: 1) bridge QB if Ben isn't healthy or retires. 2) top-flight back-up if Ben returns.

    With a good defense and a solid offensive supporting cast, I think Keenum could duplicate his 2017 year with the Vikings. Basically, if this 2019 Steelers team had Keenum at QB, we'd be contending for a top-two seed in the AFC.

    Good call

    I’ll throw a name out there: Cam Newton

    I'd say Cam if Ben was completely out. But that's too big of an ego to play bridge or fill-in.

    Indeed If Ben doesn’t recover...

    Otherwise, it’d make the Ben-AB relationship look like The Notebook.

    Take a low cost flier on Mariotta? Bring his broken game into camp and see what you can get? Of course, Paxton Lynch is already filling that role...

    No to Keenum, he's a one year wonder at QB and you're putting him on a team with a regressed o-line and no receiving. No thank you

    Totally agree. He was horrible in Denver and sucked in Washington and those two teams are basically us with shitty defenses.

    Darius Slay??

    Fitzpatrick, Slay, Edmunds, Haden, Nelson and Hilton? You should go to jail for suggesting that...

    Would you continue to possibly work a trade for Le’Veon?

    Would you put up some money for a Derek Henry or maybe Ekeler (RFA)?

    Hunter Henley at TE?

    How about some WR names? Spend coin on Amari Cooper?

    If they sign a big FA it'll be re-signing Dupree Imo. Maybe he gets tagged.

    There’s a whole lot of LOS guys on both sides of the ball...definite room for improvement or depth there...

    He’d play circles around the current QB room. His passer rating this year is 95.

    So Haskins must be much better because he lost his job to him this year.

    Derek Henry running behind this O-Line and with this defense? Oh boy, Steelers football would be back in full gear!

    I'd love to take a flier on Trubisky if Chicago moves on from him

    Is that really how you think it works? Is that why Kurt Warner was benched with the Giants? He's a first round pick and the Redskins suck. They're going to see what they got in Haskins. I'm pretty sure you knew your argument was a straw man before you clicked post.

    Indeed It could be Colbert’s last “steal” (before he rides off into the sunset).

    that's a joke right?
    Rivers is mediocre at best.

    while we're at it lets say Eli...at least then you can say he's a 2 time super bowl champ not a chump like Rivers.

    Just throwing a name out there for discussion. Wouldn’t necessarily want him on the roster but if Ben can’t play because of injury, there’s worse options out there as a stop gap than Eli/Rivers...like Rudolph...lol.
