All quiet on Hightower front or Dont'a-do-it FA tour

Pitt is a contender and could hurt us

Pitt will get blown out again in new england. They cannot defend our offense

BB- welcome to the team Gilmore...So tell me about Zach brown

Have to admit makes a ton of sense for Pittsburgh. They would BOTH weaken their key AFC rival and strengthen themselves at the same time. Steelers do not usually mess around in FA. I doubt they invite him unless they were serious and they absolutely know what it would take to sign him before the invite.
May be time to brace ourselves to lose both HT and Butler in the next few days.
Even if that happens, total confidence in BB and Caserio to fix it

That was the figure being thrown around by Kirwin and Miller yesterday on NFL Radio. I've been too busy to actually check it so if they were the only ones that actually reported it, then it may have been just a number that they were using for argument's sake.

Ok thats cool. I'll buy it. Kirwan is pretty connected.

Hopefully DH slapped him across his face and picked up the phone to call BB.

Unless steelers offer him more than BB is comfortable paying they will match.

It doesnt make sense for steelers to offer him 12 million+ to pry away from the pats that it would take.

The fact he left the building how is this relevent

The comical part of all this, if they are offering 12+ for a MLB and they have zero corners...Wouldn't you rather spend that cash on say...A Gilmore type? Lol
Idiots gonna be idiots.

Exactly. IDC if they sign HT or not.
Quick screen, quick screen, fly pattern that D to death!

This thread could be funny to necro if Hightower makes another championship play for us. Christ people are awfully quick to move past this guy..

I don't want to lose him, but if he gets a crazy offer what would you propose the Pats do?
I was simply saying he isn't going to make the Steelers any less inferior to the Patriots.

Over 1400 snaps at LB lost in FA between Timmons & Jones. Could impact the Steelers' offer.

Next stop.....

I wouldn't be Lol-ing at the Steelers. They aren't the Jets, 49ers or Browns. They can actually get to a super bowl and win the game. Of course I always like the Pats chances with BB in charge, but I'm not like whistling past the graveyard by laughing at the Steelers.

Depends what those guys make in their new deals. If they werent willing to match those deals hard t9 believe they will blow hightower away with a deal higher than his market value
