OMacAttack Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Miami picked up the best LT available in FA today as well. Terron Armstead got a 5 year 75m contract. They are really stacking it for Tua to have success or fall on his face. No excuses for him anymore. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacePenguin Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Maybe instead of trading the one legitimate NFL caliber offensive weapon this team has, based on some pipedream that draft picks will one day develop, they should resign that weapon. Then again, Terry leaving would be the final straw for me, so maybe I should be rooting for that. Go full expansion team here, works for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the last owner with class and grace, mighta been ole Georgia and her Rams. Everybody likes to pile on Dan, and for good reason. He's an extra special kind of a disaster, mostly because he keeps picking bad QBs. But other than that, he's actually not THAT different from a bunch of other idiot owners. Irsay just shipped Wentz out of town because of "reasons." Did they come out ahead? Maybe. Maybe not. The Dolphins owner might have been attempting to pay a coach to lose games. The Browns owner has a torrid history. John Mara and company took an organization his father, Wellington, built, with Eli and Coughlin in place, and up until now, destroyed it. We'll see if they got this last round right. You're not going to convince me Jerrah isn't patting the backsides of every female employee in the organization and yelling "How 'Bout them Cowboys" as he has them sign NDAs. Kraft, one of the most "respected" owners was arrested for getting a rub-n'-tug in Tampa. The guy in Carolina seems like a complete fool. Snyder is a complete ass hat who surrounded himself with sycophants and yes-men, he picked players over coaches, and has overruled his personnel guys. Add to that the workplace misconduct stuff, and you have a hot steaming mess. HOWEVER, I would be willing to bet there are components of that track record in just about every organization. Maybe not ALL of it thrown together in one steeping pile of doo-doo like we have with Dan. (Though Jerrah comes somewhat close, the difference is he just came out and said "I'm the GM. Deal with it. If you don't like it, whatever, I'm not firing myself, so go kick rocks." He also happens to not be the worst GM, and does listen to some of his personnel guys. I am willing to bet they have a lot of the same sexual harassment issues, though, they just cover them up better.) The real difference is we hear about Snyder and his transgressions on a daily basis because the media in this town can't let it die. In discussing the Wentz trade, the media will invariably bring up the fact we're in this situation because Dan screwed it all up by picking Haskins. Which is true. But, at this point, somewhat irrelevant. And then they go through all of Dan's transgressions. Again, and again, and again. It's truly exhausting. It's like, I get it. He's an idiot. I want him gone. He seems just like a horrible human being. But can we just give it a rest for a couple weeks and focus on literally anything else? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Can’t say I’m bothered about the Hill trade, they are good fun to watch unfold. What is slightly frustrating is watching teams make aggressive moves, whether it be the Dolphins as buyers or KC turning around to Hills agent and saying, get a trade. Bet they already had an idea they would quickly be cashing in. Point being, a player like Wagner. Or HB. I do wonder if we are pursuing these guys. We can’t seriously be holding off deals to preserve a future comp pick. Wagner doesn’t even impact that. There is no guarantee we ever get these players, but I would really hope we are trying to upgrade positions of serious need, outside of QB clearly. I guess the Wentz deal does qualify to an extent. The rest of FA has been pretty average. 1 minute ago, 88Comrade2000 said: You can get cheaper options in the draft. Sure can.

They say thanks for all you've given us over tge years and trade them for maximum value. Trying to convince them to stay for less money inevitably leads to the annual franchise tag game. Which in turn only serves to delay their eventual departure while at the same time decreasing the compensation received when the player departs. With the tag game, when the player eventually leaves as a free agent the best you can hope for is a potential late third round pick years later. BUT ONLY if you don't sign any new free agents the year he departs that would cancel out the future compensatory pick!!?? So not only do you lose the player but you hamstring your current free agency plans and can't go after valuable new players. No thank you. Better to bite the bullet immediately and move forward unburdoned by the past. I don’t know how many trades the Steelers have done but they draft replacements and let their free agents go, if too expensive. Guess, a recent trade would be AB to Raiders. That’s why we need to draft 2 era, in case Terry asks for too much. Steelers haven’t finished below . 500 in Tomlin’s run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) Just think about how much we as a fanbase value Terry... Multiply that by 100, and that's how much his agent values him. He's seeing deal after deal, first Adams now Hill - go up to $30MM APY. The WR market is insane. He'd be an absolute fool to suggest Terry should give this team any hometown discount. I'm certain he's informing Terry about his options - that could eventually lead to a franchise tag for big $$$ and an even larger long term deal down the road via free agency. I don't think for a second that Ron or his FO are sitting on their thumbs about this at all. They just have a lot of factors working against them.

Both teams have a pair of 1's. I think Wilson goes Top 10, but if the rest of these guys are there at #11, I guarantee you we're fielding calls from these two. They have 2 #1s, and might have to deploy them to get "They guy" To move from #11; going take more than 2#1’s to move down where the Packers and Chiefs are.

One of the ex players thought he was too small for buffalo nickel. Totally agree about Wagner. Would be just the MLB and defensive leadership upgrade this team has needed and really free us up in the draft. I wonder if the fact that we haven’t signed Wagner means we’ve already zeroed in on Lloyd. Edited March 23, 2022 by Anselmheifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leverage the commanders have, is that Terry is still on a 3rd rd pick contract. this is where we’ll see if we learned our lesson. We couldve paid Kirk on a 4th rd pick contract and didn’t. injuries could seriously hamper his future guarantees, and he hasn’t achieved “stupid generational wealth” quite yet. We get him on a top 10 WR contract now, he’s likely to take it. It’s a risk otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
