Steelers Have A Deal In Place For Brandon Aiyuk
- Thread starter Steelerfan81
- Start date
That, also he was injury-prone and I think he didn’t want to play at all the year before he was a FA.
Other than the 1 year he missed the playoffs, I didn't consider Bell "injury prone." He usually had a ton of touches. How many games had he missed?

Total BS and typical revisionist response. Then again, you are Coach and your private love fest for Tomlin handicaps your intelligence. Bell was offered the largest RB multi year contract PIT ever presented. He didn’t listen to his agent, who was way over his head in handling his client, he didn’t listen to his NFLPA rep, he even didn't listen to his own mother who told him to take the offer. What he did do was state “he wanted to reset the RB market”. Then play under the tag. Then come in after the last preseason game. Then sit out until week six (so he could accrue a season for vet status), thinking he would be traded. The last thing PIT was going to do. Finally he stupidly sat out the net year in his prime which destroyed his trade value. As being “used up”….its no wonder you have idiotic tendencies. What drives big contracts? Production. That production is based on the position. No RB would get paid unless he produces on the field. Bell did as a he got tons of touches because of his skill set (rushes/catches). I guess HOF Marshall Faulk was used up as he had more touches than Bell in his first 5 years in the league. Yet Faulk played 12 years. Yeah “used up”…GTFOH.
Belichick wanted him badly and said he would have used him more. But not after sitting out a season.

Other than the Burfict injury (2018?) which he did on purpose on the sideline no less, Bell missed 6 games in the 5 years in PIT. He sat out the last game regular season in 2017 as they already clinched playoff. I wouldn’t call that injury prone….thats why you have good RB depth.

Not sure if you included the suspension time or not. I think he was suspended 4, but reduced because of a miscommunication on appointment time.
Just going out of memory.
Salute the nation
Ike with a concurrent history of making CoochLloyd look silly. Not that it takes a lot to accomplish that feat. Still it is nice to see.

He played a full season in two of his four years here.

I see this thread has moved on from Aiyuk. Does that mean we have all accepted that he is staying in San Francisco and the Steelers are just going to have to keep playing the scrap heap at receiver?
No, no, no, any day now, just wait.

I read that there is still a 50/50 chance we make the deal. I will be holding my breath until it happens.No, no, no, any day now, just wait.

Considering how many touches and yards he had, that's not so bad on the injury front.

Not bad at all.

I don't think Aiyuk has ever had any intention of leaving San Fran. This feels like it's been nothing but a smoke screen from him and his people to get the 49ers to give him more money. It sounds like both the Patriots and the Browns were willing to pay him what he wanted, but he refused to go to either team and sign a contract if traded there (if the media can be believed). I really don't know how serious the Steelers have been, but Aiyuk's people and the media have been making it seem like it's going to happen any day now with the Steelers for five months. I don't blame him since he will put up big numbers again in their system as a number 2 and get a chance to possibly play in the Super Bowl. In the end, Aiyuk will get paid and get to skip the preseason. Like most other preseason holdouts, he will be out with a hamstring injury within the first two weeks.
DE, CB, and WR (depending on if they trade and extend) These are the areas I think they address.Steelers address WR in next year's draft. Emeka Egbuka out of OSU makes too much sense. But what the hell do I know?
I think at QB they go with one of the options on the roster or hit free agency.
I think most of Aiyuk situation is media driven. I do think the Steelers made a firm offer and SF rejected it. I don't think the Steelers keep upping the ante and whatever they gave SF is what you see what you get. Aiyuk would make the steelers better, but I think they need all their draft picks

1. WR/DE/safety - should be picks 1, 2, 3 IMO which ever has the best value in each round. The Steelers are solid at CB with Porter, Jackson, Bishop, Trice, and Sutton. Outside of Minkha, you have three Safeties who are decent but an upgrade here would be fantastic.
I would put safety lower on the list. We need to find Heywards replacement he can't have much left in the tank. WR also has to be up there unless Wilson and CAIII really catch on. Not sure what the QB class looks like, but I think we would have to consider that as well. If there is an elite safety still on the board then I would not be upset if we went that routeSteelers address WR in next year's draft. Emeka Egbuka out of OSU makes too much sense.

They are still figuring out their inside CB. Jackson was a trade so while I think he will be adequate a whole season will better gage that. Trice is a mystery at this point.Steelers address WR in next year's draft. Emeka Egbuka out of OSU makes too much sense. But what the hell do I know?
