Melvin Ingram traded to Chiefs

[Fire Goodell]

the 6th round pick could be antonio brown or tom brady most likely not but ya know

I hadn't seen that reported anywhere. But I also didn't look.

I still figure that Colbert did well to get something for a basically totally depreciated asset.

I think we would have been more than happy to keep him for depth rather than getting a 6th, but it was a not wanting hostages situation.

It's always possible the conditions go UP from a 6th...

Well, that would be pretty cool. But I don’t think that’s what it means.

Just when we thought the Melvin Ingram trade couldn’t get any worse, it does. According to the NFL transaction wire released Tuesday evening, the sixth-round pick the Steelers received in the trade is conditional. A conditional pick is performance-based, which could mean a number of things. It’s likely that Ingram will have to play a certain percentage of snaps or appear in a certain number of games — or that minimal sixth-round pick could turn into a seventh or even nothing.

I love how the article just assumes that the pick is going lower - like flat out states it - and then acknowledges that it could go higher but states that there is no way that happens.

Basically, the report just decided to be negative to fit the angry narrative. The author has zero information to back up any of the claims made.

I will stand by my position that this is a good trade. Ingram was leaving. When he left, the Steelers were likely to get nothing for him. Between Ingram's FA offer and the Steelers potential signing of outside FA's, the comp formula was not going to be in their favor. So they went out and got a deal to likely get something.

Could go down from a 6th...or Ingram stays healthy and plays a ton of snaps for a crappy KC defense and it goes up...we just don't know because the NFL doesn't release the conditional terms. Both have a somewhat equal chance of being the case.

Haha, these are my thoughts exactly, you know cause the Steelers “got fleeced” by getting a pick for someone that wasn’t going to be here after this season

ah man i liked calling him black tommy maddox

You can call Karl Joseph that. He got #8 now

[El-Gonzo Jackson]

Any idea if Ingram is playing enough snaps, so the Steelers will get the 6th round pick for him?

He's got 1 sack (2 half sacks). Doesn't Colbert get a 4th rounder for that?????

He didn’t go to the Raiders…

Ingram has been a spark for a pass rush that had its best three games of the season in the past three, according to ESPN's pass rush win rate. He has just one sack but is playing with an energy the Chiefs lacked for much of the early season.

"He's playing angry," defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said. "He's got everybody else being angry, too. He's had a couple of plays ... where he just knocks people around. I think that's contagious and that helps us."

Sounds like they play him and Frank Clark on the edge in pass rush situations and allows Chris Jones to stay inside on the line. If he is getting enough snaps, maybe that bumps up the conditions on the draft pick that was traded to the Steelers.

I think that is Ingram's best contribution to the Chiefs - allowing Chris Jones to move back inside.

No matter what the Steelers got it's becoming obvious you don't trade to reigning AFC champs. Even if they were down when we traded him.

What if it turned out we had to play KC in the playoffs and Ingram makes a strip sack.

Can you not talk about the Raiders for 5 minutes?

Just proves you don’t know the history of the Steelers or the message board…

Highsmith is a better value and a better teammate. Ingram is where he should be as a veteran player. This is like Harrison going to the Pats.

he wasn't fast enough for them.

My comment was a joke. I don't think you're smart enough to make meta jokes so... oof... how awkward.

Yes, I don't know the history of this forum XD. Guilty as charged. Bahaha.

Lying again…

And…smarter than you

And…my Dad could easily kick your dads ass…with one hand.

And…I know more about the Steelers, Raiders and Ravens than you do.

I wouldn't be surprised if KC is one and done in the playoffs. Frankly, they don't look too good at all.

[Mojouw]

Say they don’t trade Ingram. What’s that look like if he goes all Derek Bell with the Pirates?

No best to trade him . I just think if they shop around, someone else would have traded for him.

Agree. Their defense is really bad.

If they have to meet a team that really dedicates itself to running. Titns, Patriots, I agree they will likely be one and done
