Taylor Lewan

I'd only be interested if they get him on a short term prove it deal and pencil him in to start while a rookie OT develops. Kind of like with Mitch.

Ummmm


The rookie I want drafted should push for starting immediately. YES, that high of investment through the draft.

I will state, He's a $14.8M Cap hit this year for Tennessee, and they could cut him with ZERO dead cap.

TEN is -$23.7M over the cap. He'd be an easy cap cut. If he's a FA because of this, the Steelers can openly negotiate a new contract. He'd have to come cheap to have a chance.
 
i just read that he spit in TJs face and also punched him in the nuts during a game

hard pass


WhoAly chyt, That's the nastiness some desire in an OL man. Still a HARD pass.

Best to look elsewhere. We can go T in the draft if they really value one that high. Lewan's injuries at that position are not something we want to be dealing with over the course of the year.
 
He's played 20 games in the past 3 seasons.

He's also not a FA. No way do I trade for a guy like this by giving up draft picks.

Fools black & gold IMHO.
It's all based on if he is a cap casualty......

Are you saying we could get him for the Vet minimum? :)
 
Lewan hasn’t actually said it but…………… some are saying 12.5 mil would get him here…….

I ****-ing laughed out loud when I heard that !!!! NOT going to happen.

Our OL isn't great but NO ONE missed a game this season.
 
That's what I said. Dan Moore might suck, but at least he played every game.

All though that is significant with any player, we can do better. I hope to draft a better high investment LT.

As for Lewan………….. don’t come through the gate because on your way out it will hit yaz from being slammed so fast.

I think the **** will cut him and not pay him this year. If so, I would bring him in and figure out an Ogunjobi type contract. Draft someone and get them ready. Worst case scenario, you still have Moore.
 
This team is on a youth movement of sorts; no need sign a veteran who is hurt more often than healthy, and won't be available other than to mentor the young 'uns. For that, he should retire and come up the coaching ranks; that franchise already produced a good OL player/coach: Munchak.

Mauch from North Dakota State. Dude's playing T, G and even C at the Senior Bowl
Could be used virtually anywhere.

Where would he go in the draft?

I’d be pretty sure he has turned Coach Tomlin’s above the neck structure, and I’m wondering what round / draft position if they persued him.

There are a few LTs and I hope we can land the prize one !!!

PS

Many here / elsewhere have projected Moore to move into LG. I don’t count Big Dot out just yet until we see a successful transition of Moore, if that takes place.

I see both current LT & LG taking a step up but not enough to NOT upgrade one of those two positions.
