Didn’t he get absolutely rinsed last 2 seasons ? 

That was my thought as well.

Not sure why, but I am feeling a deal for Micah Parsons. Not sure it fits Howie's MO... but I smell it in the air.

No. They should trade for Garrett and Hendrickson first. 

X is doing its thing with Aaron Rodgers at the moment

Guys that I hope we are keeping tabs on:

DT: Dre'Mont Jones, Calais Campbell, Javon Hargrave, Larry Ogunjobi

Edge: Azeez Ojulari, Malcolm Koonce, Chase Young, DeMarcus Lawrence, Za'Darius Smith

Hargrave signed right away didn’t he?

I don't see that happening... You're going to have to pay Carter probably more than what he gets... I only say that because Parsons will get his deal before Carter... When the time to pay Carter comes he probably will be the highest paid non qb

When Howie asked for patience this offseason he meant "I’m going to sign Baun & then you guys won’t hear from me for another 2 weeks” lol

They should have plenty of $$$. They just sent the season ticket invoices out today. Whew the price for winning the SB is getting expensive.

Maybe I should be but that doesn't concern me. In games where AJ and Devonta are both healthy Goedert gets very few targets. I also think with an off-season to work with Hurts and the team Dotson could definitely be a little bit better. I feel like Goedert would be a bigger loss for his blocking than receiving and they can easily find a really good blocking TE for significantly cheaper in free agency. I would be fine with a TE by committee approach in 2025 with GC, a cheap blocking TE in free agency, and a TE drafted somewhere in the 3rd-5th round.

Get the blocking TE in this Draft … Jackson Hawes in Day 3.  Georgia Tech and Yale.  Clearly a smart dude. And a hell of a blocker.

Go get that trade value Howie.

Trading is a huge cap hit over releasing

Nope. Haven't heard anything legit about him.

Steelers fans seems to want him back.

Oh, hell yeah Carter would be the priority. But Micah is desperate to come here, let him come and prove himself, give us a decision to make. We let Milton and Sweat walk, he can backfill for a while

His wife’s Twitter is better anyway

I'm not sure he is a long term solution and his blocking sucks. However, if you mix and match him, a FA blocking TE, and a rookie I think they will be more than fine there and can add elsewhere with the cap savings.

His inline blocking is subpar, but his on the move (H-Back) blocking is quite good.

It's the same overall cap hit as cutting him. Cutting him just means we split it over 2 years instead of 1.

I'd be embarrassed to be a Steeler too...

I guess that's "good"?    That locks in a 3rd round comp pick for sure... but... how much will Jalen Carter get next year in his extension?    

It’s a good thing Carter is a year away. The Brinks truck carrying his extension is going to need to be reinforced before it heads to the Novacare Center.

I just don't see giving up the picks it would take and then be able to resign both Carter and Parsons... Plus you have to pay Smith and then eventually q and Cooper... We can't afford Parsons 

 

They assumed they'd be signing Williams and instead signed Baun essentially but the plan is the same

Maybe they shouldn't involve a vehicle in that transaction. 

 

YES

I mean, you're probably right. Let a man dream! Though I do think Howie will be doing due diligence in case Parsons really goes nuclear. That dude wants OUT

TANNER TIME

YES

We’ve got to give Howie a bigger hand for applause 

Howie making everyone happy
