Offseason player acquisition thread

[Joey007]

Only if we could get him for cheap. He will be 33 next year and the average age for linemen is 29 so he is long in the tooth.

I'll take quality OL in all forms. He can't be the only solution, but that's immediate protection improvement for Maye.

Considering who we have at left tackle your right.

 

[Joey007]

Why is it already assumed Higgins won't come here? We know about Metcalf.

Take this for what it is worth. I am not sure if a sportsbook is a valid way to determine NFL trades for players that there hasn't been serious talk of trading.

Ya, sure...

 

[Ray Ray 717]

need to find a wide receiver with some talent

 

[Ray Ray 717]

You are correct there. I'd also add that currently if kupp were on the current roster he's the best WR. Add kupp and go after tee Higgins.. under Josh polk and baker will be developing correctly.. let's not forget about them.. Higgins, DK or olave are 3 guys that we know can separate.

Pretty forgettable years. Zero talent

Pats need to go back to basics where most teams are sleeping on. I want a top flight WR like everyone else, but so does every team in the NFL. What they are neglecting is the low hanging fruit of running the football. Eagles, Lions and Ravens have finally exposed this current era of run defenses. Philly this last Sunday flat out embarrassed Washington Madden style.

Defenses aren't built to stop the run, so a devastating ground game with a competent QB is going to be a huge advantage. Build the OL and find a real RB - not these current players that look like Ty Montgomery when they tried him at RB out of desperation in GB. Basically WR's moonlighting at RB. Too many "hybrids". Rham could be that guy that's an old school RB that can wear down teams. They paid him, so go out there and get some damn blocking to build around him.

I'm totally fine with Higgins signing here, but they need to address the OL.

Absolutely. That formula has always worked running the ball and stoping the run is how we won championships.. I believe this draft is the draft we get the trenches solidified. Need a stout defensive line and a OL that can open up holes.

Imagine Watt - Carter and White...the sack possibilities.

We just need a solid #2 to elevate Pop Douglas and Boutte who should be better this upcoming season. Player X pushes them down to a more favorable notch.

Patriots are interested in every player maybe except a QB position. Interesting is it mutual interest between players and the Pats?

Shore up the interior first, then add pass rushers.

The Steelers owner had said his was goal was to keep TJ in Pittsburgh making him the highest paid defensive player ever.
I don’t see it.

That guy is kupp!! Tree top Higgins knows we want him... he will be heavily courted.. if we can trade for kupp and he sees that.. along with Vrabel and drake.. that could be enough for Higgins to sign he knows he'll be getting single coverage..

Absolutely love his game.. downside is he is hurt alot becuase he plays with reckless abandon.. didn't Pitt not to long give him a contract??

Draft Carter, sign chase young at DE and McNeil at DT.

Yeah that Twitter account is merely clickbait. Can’t see the Steelers letting Watt go, let alone being traded to a long-time hated conference rivals like the Pats. He still has another 3-4 years left in him before the wheels start to fall off.

As long as white is rushing up the middle he's not an edge guy. Carter, chase young, white, McNeil at DT... all day!
