Kupp on the trade market.

[Fiji Mariner]

Add in a little referee-ism and a swiftly hand job————- they will 4-peat………….

Might take a little more out of Taylor but there is a fine balance of looseness involved.

Slow down the Cheat-peat wagon

My Philadelphia Bulldogs bout to tap Patty’s a$$ and Saquon gonna push em over the top

The Philadelphia team got the right Bulldogs…the ones that led a historic defense to back to back chips (Davis, Carter, Ringo, Smith and Dean who is unfortunately hurt) and their defense became dominant…go figure

Our team on the other hand grabs the Offensive Bulldogs that weren’t so instrumental in those
Championships…Tomlin always finds a
Way to defy logic.

I’m on the Eagle wagon for the win. **** the nfl enhanced chefs and their fans.

My records show I’ve hit the bullseye for the coordinates you gave me, for the last three drops…….. It’ll be a fourth come soon, but also NOT an nfl enhanced version.

Would rather try and trade for D Adams and hit the draft.

Kupp too old and injury prone these days.

We need DL in the draft first.

We need DL in the draft first.

I would be shocked with what they targeted last year and their biggest need this year if they didn’t go DL in 1
.

I think it would have to be overwhelming value for them to pull the trigger on another position outside of DL.

…regardless in free agency they should look hard at WR, DL, CB and QB.

I hope they just don’t go with the comfy known over a potentially better FA pickup.

News coming out now that LA is willing to eat some of Kupps salary to facilitate a trade. That helps, but still doesn't change my offer much. Maybe a 6th instead of a 7th. But we don't have a 6th this year, will they take next years?

I like Kupp and I think he still has some tread left, but he excels at the routes we don't seem to want to use.

5 is too high? What I was originally thinking….

I really don't have a good enough understanding of the draft pick value to have an opinion on what is or isn't too expensive on someone like Kupp, but he's an upgrade at a very vulnerable position for the Steelers. I trust Omar to do the right thing.

I would imagine with how diligently they went after WRs that he will continue trying to get some upgrades there.

I guess it depends on how they would plan on using him. We spent a 6th on Fields, and a 5th on Mike Williams. We still have Roman Wilson, and Calvin Austin who both play from the slot. So where does Kupp fit? I think it's more of a "hey there's a WR on the market, lets link him to the Steelers" type thing again. Same will be done with QB's until we actually sign and/or draft one.

I see Kupp as a more consistent move the chains type over Austin. Wilson is a mystery at this point.

I would assume he would only upgrade the slot with the need still for a number 2.

I guess I'm just more inclined to use a pick in the draft than to spend one on a 32 yr old rental. Guys like Savion Williams, Isaiah Bond, Elic Ayomanor, Jayden Higgins, Jalen Royals, Antwane Wells, Jack Bech, Pat Bryant, Ja'Corey Brooks...Half of these guys could be had in the 4th or 5th round and would give us more. Especially since Kupp hasn't been healthy since '21. Again, we aren't a player or two away, so why not build thru the draft.

The other thing, Kupp didn't request the trade. This was his released statement:

I was informed that the team will be seeking a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships. I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA. Still, if there’s one thing that I have learned over the years: there are so many things that are out of your control, but it is how you respond to these things that you will look back on and remember. I have taken so much pride in playing alongside my teammates for the LA community, so thank you for embracing my family and making this such a special place for us. 2024 began with one of the best training camps of my career. Preparations start now for 2025. Highly motivated, as healthy as ever, and looking forward to playing elite football for years to come. Love you guys..But coming for it all.

So I think it's really a mute point, we're not competing for championships anymore...

The good thing if they get Kupp is he really seems like a good dude. He could be a veteran leader in the locker room from day one. GP is almost out of time but this might help him grow up and treat this game like his job. He's probably the only WR that might be available that isn't a ridiculous diva.
