Sanders either already has or is soon expected to sign an offer sheet. There have been varying levels of reports about whether he's actually signed it or not, but Sciz from PatsFans is reporting that it's inevitable either way, so the "when" isn't a big issue. At some point, I'm sure that five days will start. It was seven days under the old CBA.But what the hell is going on with this Sanders offer sheet? There are so many conflicting reports(And the Steelers have 7 days to match). I think Edleman back would hinge on a Sanders signing..
I want Edelman back. But logically it is looking less and less so...

Actually, I have no idea...
..Beli is so waste deep in the bargain bin right now, I have no idea what he is going to come up with....
Yeah, it's hard to see him returning if they get Sanders and keep Lloyd. But I could see Sanders, Amendola, Edelman, [big tall receiver], [backup receiver], and Slater.
Let's not forget Jones.
I think that the choice is between Lloyd or Edelman. My choice would be Lloyd, but we'll see.
It would be good to have ONE returning WR on the 53.

No. 3 receiver Emmanuel Sanders has signed an offer sheet with the New England Patriots that will force the Steelers to match the offer or let him go, too.
If we get Sanders, Edelman would be the #4 or #5 receiver which is fine. I personally like him more than Jones as our #4 atm due to knowledge of system. He is an excellent backup, versatile on all sides of the ball and an excellent PR. He has returned a punt 70 or more yards and for a TD each of the last three seasons. He shouldn't be that expensive to resign too.
1. Lloyd
2. Amendola
3. Sanders
4. Jones/Edelman
5. Slater
The only upgrade I can still see is either cutting Lloyd followed by trading for or drafting a WR with outside size that stretches the field. Either way I think Edelman should be brought back as a backup where he gives us good value.
I think it depends on Lloyd and Sanders. If Lloyd takes a pay cut and Sanders signs, there's really not any WR snaps left to give him unless he's playing for peanuts and doesn't need to be a contributor outside STs.
Either way, I am comfortable with the O. Just need Beli to shore up the D now..
Since listing Slater as a receiver is a joke, why are we limited to carrying only four receivers? Edelman is a significantly better punt returner than Leon too.
Since free agency and the draft aren't even played out, why do we want to cut guys now when there are plenty of spots in camp and these things always decide themselves due to injuries or new players not living up to expectations.
