Steelers sign Patrick Peterson

I would have tweaked his contract . Gave him an extra year.

Yeah the FO has been saying they want him for awhile, so why haven't they extended him, in general they haven't really done anything other than cut Jackson and sign Peterson

Yep doesn't look necessarily BPA but now damn sure looks necessary. I will cross each finger and toe hoping the value is there and that it doesn't cost the team a key component at another position.

I think what this does is somewhat cancel out the effect of having a 32 luxury pick that is now looking anything but a luxury.

I'm starting to think they feel they are good at Oline. They are gonna take CB and ILB / DL depending on the next several days.

I really hope they spend in FA for a ILB like Edmunds from Buffalo and thats why they let Sutton walk. Tomlins defense needs an elite coverage, sideline to sideline athletic freak at one of the ILB spots and that might be the hardest spot to fill, there might be 1-2 max guys like that in this year's draft.
 
When I was going through draft results from last year I saw a team that had good results picking multiple corners. I wouldn't be against that happening either if value presents itself.

Edmunds signed with the Bears, I believe.

Edmunds signed with the bears for 4 years
 
Who here can get PFF breakdown of Peterson and Sutton on last season? It would be a good look.

Thank you.

I was hoping they would mention a man vs zone/yardage/TD comparison, I guess they don't break it down like that.
 
I understand your frustration, but San Fran called and would like a word? In fact, that's exactly how they almost won the Super Bowl. t

7 mil per, not horrible, weren't getting Cam at that price. Probably designed so they can cut him next year if needed and not have a bad cap penalty as well

Probably back loaded I would guess that this season it is 3-5 mil?
 
Avoid_Lloyd said:
I disagree, 8 million is too much for a backup, they could find a guy for 4-5 million a year who could give you a chance to win a couple of spot starts, I don't care what team we're talking about if the QB1 goes down for the long term it's season over, if the goal is to win titles you don't spend 8 million a year on a backup QB that can't get you to a championship

Ex pro bowler last one being 4 years ago. Let's not inflate the signing.

Any-who not sure why anyone would be fond of losing Sutton. He was a solid multi positional player. So naturally there will be some vent time.

Yes but Steve the guy is going to be 33. This will be a short term not long term solution.
Hopefully he hasn’t lost a step!
Man, back this up 5 or 6 years and of course more expensive, I’d love this signing.
