    Based on his pro-rated signing bonus and other restructures, trading or releasing Steven Nelson gives the Steelers back 8.25 million this season. This is why I say if they can't trade him quickly then just release him.

    Good move by the Steelers, let him go, we don’t need locker room distractions, no matter how good the player is.

    no one is going to give you much for a 1 year player.
    Most of them will be 1 year players this time.

    Exactly There have been an unprecedented number of one-year deals this off season.

    Will be interesting to see what he brings back via trade. Probably looking at best a 5th round draft pick, though I would be interested in a player swap.

    You're right. I'm thinking long term. He was a solid CB and it sucks because it took so long for the Steelers to get a good set of 4 CBs but 2022 brings more cap space and comp picks.

    I think for a 5th ( if I was in charge ) I make him stay and earn a new deal from some other team and take the compensatory pick
    Were not going to get much for him because of the circumstances I think. I'm guessing a 4th or something like the Jets 5th pick. At this point most teams will assume we are going to release him.

    The situation a few years back with LeVeon showed that the Steelersxare willing to hold their ground. If the Steelers don’t get adequate compensation, I could see them NOT trading Nelson... and if he fits out the season, he wouldn’t become a free agent.

    Sucks because Nelson is the best corner on the roster.

    True

    That said, his career looks like this: average, average, average, average, EXCEPTIONAL, average.

    As I argued in 2019, he was a top 5 corner... and I’ll die on that hill. Alas, he’s fallen back down to average (which is still loads better than we have had in a while).

    Also true. He came back to his "mean" about from an amazing 2019. Bottom line, if I was Nelson I would want an extension and more money too. But I think he needs to learn to read the room....no one around the league has any money to give him. Now next year....

    If I was in charge of the Steelers and I had to choose between Nelson and Haden....I would choose Nelson. I know that Haden getting shipped out would be a massive PR and locker-room problem but he is not the better on-field player any longer.

    The Steelers chose AB over Wallace, because Wallace wanted a payday and AB took a lesser deal to stay with the team. (I know, I know AB turned out to be a diva, but in 2014, he was just a young guy committed to the team).

    More times than not, the Steelers will go with a “Steeler” over a “player causing a scene”. It’s why I’d go with Haden over Nelson. As someone already said “No hostages.”

    Totally agree. I fully expect Nelson to be shipped out of town within the week. The Rooney’s will help him pack.

    Is this really something Nelson has done in the past with the Chiefs? I mean he did play with Revis for a little bit...

    Seems like he had issue w/the Chiefs fans. I'm not sure about his relationship w/Reid or the assistant coaches

    Alas, yes

    Case in point: During the time of him wanting an extension with the Chiefs, there was an incident in the lockerroom where a reporter was asking him questions about the game, and Nelson’s ONLY response (over & over) was “Pay me.”
