Dear Media, please stop saying the Steelers are "all in"

So if I hear it once more I may implode... the term gained traction in the NFL after the Rams spent a ton of assets before winning their last Super Bowl.

Since then, the term has been chronically misused.

The Rams, in 2021, had been a contender for a bit and had huge cap space issues going forward trying to keep the team together.
The season before they traded two first round picks (2020 and 2021) for Jalen Ramsey.
Prior to 2021, they traded a younger Goff and their 2022 and 2023 first round picks along with a 2021 third round pick for Matt Stafford... then they added Von miller midseason at the cost of a 2022 2nd and 3rd round pick. They also added OBJ late in the season.

While they did recoup a lot of later round picks through subsequent trades, they ultimately had traded 8 picks away in 2022... they didnt have a first rounder from 20-23.... and their cap was a mess for years...


The Steelers have a sweet cap position and a glut of future picks... signing a few old FAs is not all in

I think as a whole Rodgers brings the spotlight. So far it hasn't been a circus show but cross your fingers.

Shouldn't they be all in every year?

The Steelers were among the most active teams this offseason.
Without going through the acquisitions and trades, parting ways with starters Minkah, Najee, Pickens, and 2 QB’s, then making Watt the highest paid and then signing Rodgers are eye opening enough moves (or desperate) for people to say that the Steelers are “all in”.

It was Rodgers signing that made it official.
