after how mason was handled here and lied to over and over, he'd be insane to come back and sign under tomlin.
Pickett became a lightning rod for all things wrong about the Steelers and gave that TNUC PG Jerry Dulac an Oepidus to his complex.
Ummm have you been around lately? That's kinda what the Steelers do. How quickly we forget Artie Burns, Ziggy Hood, Terrelle Edmunds, Devin Bush. I would argue Pickett had a better Steelers career than all of them. I hope Kenny shuts everyone up.
I don't know Kevin Colbert but I do know a relative of his and he isn't the 1st person close to the situation that says Mike rules player personnel with an iron fist.
I've never heard that before. When Belichick and Coughlin were in the league I heard those names year in and year out in terms of how extensive they were in the research process of potential draft picks/FA's.
Mike said he wants "volunteers" not "hostages."
And now all you hear is Tomlin’s.I don't know Kevin Colbert but I do know a relative of his and he isn't the 1st person close to the situation that says Mike rules player personnel with an iron fist.

I actually disagree. If the Steelers had gone 6-11 the last couple years instead of limping in and getting crushed in Buffalo and Baltimore, they'd be sitting in a much better position going into this season. Then again, I'd be banking on the draft picks they'd have being too high for even Coach T to screw up, which I'm not sure is totally correct.
Well yes that’s what I meant and I agree. I just didn’t spell it out. 6-11 yields a better draft position and in many ways is a more productive season than 9-8 and a playoff game that’s over 10 minutes into the game.
Didn't the "thousand yard" standard become an accomplishment when the schedule was 12 or 14 games? Either way, with a 17 game schedule, I'd think 1,500 yards would be more of an achievement. And that's been done a hundred times or so? As it stands, you only need 60 yards per game to reach 1,000 yards. 16 players rushed for 1,000 yards last year. Not really all that special and Najee was 14th on that list. Rico Dowdle had more yards.
It doesn't even take a "great" college RB. I think it's more about scheme and OL. Just need someone who can hit the right hole, make a cut, and have a little quickness. Najee is sort of unique because he's struggled with all three.
listening to steeler nation, radio shows, twitter, we all agree, need a year or two to "rebuild" or whatever you call it. need to figure this roster out, position themselves for a higher draft pick in 2026 and "right the ship."
yeah, the steelers used to boast about not drafting for need but drafting the "best player available." Well great if you have that luxury, which we did for years.
This can’t be true according to SoufI don't know Kevin Colbert but I do know a relative of his and he isn't the 1st person close to the situation that says Mike rules player personnel with an iron fist.

I think there is a sound compromise on that. You rarely have on glaring need. So in that case if you have multiple needs it makes side to pick the guy who can make the most impact at one of those positions
How was he mistreated ‘
Lol. Maybe his son wont be so complacent. This trainwreck of an era will soon be over.
with zach gentry and Justin Champagnie's girlfriend..
I hope they crash and burn like hugely next year. This 9-8/10-7 seasons have become like drugs and have completely clouded their judgement.
Moving more picks to trade up for Sanders would be asinine. They'll either suck bad enough this coming year or will use all these compensatory picks they'll get next year to move up (or some combination of both) and take a guy then. As corny as it is, Rooney wants the Cinderella story of taking the next guy while the draft is here.
You're totally right on this, plus I don't see Sanders falling to a spot where the Steelers would move up. Sadly that Cinderella story will be them picking the Ped State QB.
I’ll assume AB will be going to prison soon , like Bell.
