Steelers ink Jamel Dean
- Thread starter Steelerfan81
- Start date
3 year, $36.75 million. Filling glaring holes so they are freer to pick BPA in the draft just like always.

Good news!!
Especially after losing James Pierre.
Dean is sneaky good, kind of underrated like Pierre was..

I think he is more of a pure cover corner in comparison. Damn good signing!

Nice signing. 6'1" 205ish. 29 years old but graded out as the 3rd best CB last year according to PFF with an 80.6 Had 3 INTs.

Dean and Porter outside, Echols in the slot, Ramsey at free? Elliot in the box.
Could this be the plan?

Looks like it, I'm sure some draft picks will also be added but they'll have time to work in when ready. Of course they can still release Ramsey tomorrow if they sign a Bryan Cook for example.
secondary looks good. Dean was one of the guys I hoped we'd draft back in the day.
i can see him also taking the trajectory Ramsey has - moving to Safety in a year or two.

Another very smart addition. Him & Pittman have us going forward not backward.

I'd like these moves now if they had a reasonably young franchise QB. By the time they develop one, these guys they signed today will be gone.

Does this take CB out of the equation in the first? I do like the signing.

That's a Steal!
Yes definitely. I am thinking WR is still a strong possibility. Or NT..
But I think NT would come in 2 or S.

Agreed. O line in the top 3 rounds, and bpa coming.
If they can get a FS,G and QB in free agency I think they can truly go BPA. But I have a feeling they will still use BPA of need and strengthen that weakest position…WR.
Great acquisition!
I absolutely love this signing!!!!
Only because everyone else does.
I know nothing about this guy.

LOS, WR or QB
Keep seeing “experts” linking Simpson to Steelers. Probably just lazy hack job reporting matching player and need. If aaaron doesn’t return I wouldn’t put it out of the question tho.
As much as I don’t want Aaron returning I sure hope a BPA LOS or WR is the pick over Simpson.
Think I could endure another year of Rodgers over Simpson being the pick
that is just great .......... we signed someone who has peaked and can only go downhill going forward ............lol
seriously .... I like him alot
