Does he have anything left in the tank?

Juice?

Eagles are about to go large with Bell apparently.

 

[TNT87]

Thinking really hard . . . the last 'hey, this guy is legit and in his prime and didn't come cheap' guy the Steelers signed would be, who, Jeff Hartings in 2001?

That would be a comparable for the scale with Roby, yes?

BTW, too many teams with money to burn . . . no way the Steelers pay the price (even if it doesn't get out of hand on the bidding).

Yeah, he and Farrior were good FA signings.

 

[USMC607]

Hilarious

Something change?

As if we needed more reason to hate Philly

NFL Network is going to talk about the Steelers next.

 

[USMC607]

Cant see them beating NYJ tho.

Jets got monnnnneyyyy

 

[Andy99]

Too bad. He’s not irreplaceable, but as talented as McDonald his, he seems to be injury prone, and they need someone between VM and the guy who goes out of his way to fumble/run someone over at the goal line.

He was dependable and I’m sorry he’s gone...

 

[JakeNBake59]

Certainly a need.

As noted, they could open up close to 30M if they wanted to do it (this assumes you walk fully on Dupree). They can hit 2 starting defensive positions and find a complement for Juju with that coin IF they manage it right.

IF being the key word

Welp looks like Bell is standing firm on his demands. I really dk what this guy wants from teams.

I understand he wants paid and kind of respect he was up front about that front the Jump. But common man....

Hes not getting more than Gurley...

Well unless an idiot team like NYJ or someone pays him.

 

[USMC607]

Its gonna be a bird team... so be prepared for hate either way.

anyone but the f***ing ravens

 

[USMC607]

Let me rephrase from my bird team comment since the jets are still in last time I checked.

The Ravens are equally as close as the Jets. So....

Eagles tried but Bell wants too much.

 

[USMC607]

You may be upset.

Watching his stutter step, plodding style behind that Jets line would be pure comedy.

Lasted 30 seconds and noted the Steelers traditionally don't sign free agents but they do have 10 picks.

That said, the Steelers traditionally have nowhere NEAR this kind of coin available (and available to free up).

One thing they've got going for them is they can work around Brown's dead money for a big get with a heavy signing bonus and low year one salary to keep the cap hit down.

His stutter step certainly would help teams react when defending the Ravens option.

I was wondering about that. Cause next yr Browns cap comes off and out the gate we have 21 mil in cap space.

But dont we have to resign Watt and JuJu at some point soon?

 

[Dick Sledge]

Just re-sign Ben and release Packer face already.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

They should both be on four year deals. Watt is a first rounder so they will have a fifth year option I believe.

 

[WheresRamziAbid]

Intetest in Roby. Anyone else?

You worry about it then.

BTW, Brown's 21M dead money comes off AND the cap will go up, but they also lose the credit for that added space they get this year from never paying Bell's franchise tag money
