Now if some other team gets him, the Steelers will get a 2nd round pick, great value for a slot corner, even one as good as Hilton
I love Mike Hilton. But, with Cam Sutton playing very well, if a team in the top 10 (33-43) signed Hilton away, I wouldn’t be worried.
I love watching Hilton blitz. He's fearless as a tackler. I hope we don't lose him
.....and if someone wants Hilton that badly, the team will pick up a high draft pick to address other needs with a competent player in place to take his position.
I think this is a good move to be fishing for draft picks to add high talent on rookie contracts to save money when they are depleted of draft picks.
Definitely a good move. If somebody needs a slot corner they have to ask the question..."will they trade a 2nd round pick for Mike Hilton?" That is basically what the tender is, as well as it helps establish the market for Hilton, as somebody would have to offer him a contract and the Steelers I believe have the option to match the offer and retain the player.
If I am Hilton, I have wanted a new contract for 2 seasons from the Steelers and haven't gotten one. If he plays this season out with the Steelers, I could definitely see him being a bit sour that they restricted his compensation and movement for 2 seasons.
