Canada wouldn't have a clue how to use him.
I think out of all the rumors Surtain is the only one that makes sense. Broncos are selling and Surtain is in the same draft class as Najee. I believe if the Steelers had the choice they would 5th year option Surtain over Najee. We are weak at CB and getting a 23 year old Surtain we can pay prorated 900k this year and 4 million next year then probably have to pay him 18million for 2025. Now what does the Broncos want for him? I read an MSN article stating they feel a 2nd would pry him loose. If that was the case I feel multiple teams would be offering that. I feel you have to give up a 1st. Steelers are 4-2 so that hurts them a little but the perceived conception the Steelers are not a playoff team. So we probably can get ahead of some other 4-2 or 3-3 teams. But I feel we have to sweeten the pot a little. I wouldn't want to kick in a day two pick but I would be fine with a day three pick.
Like I said, I think if they only wanted a second they would have multiple offers. If they are asking for multiple first round picks then I think they wouldn't have many if any offers to look at. If he is off limits then I wouldn't even bother on the conversation. He is a stud player and young but after a few losing seasons it might end up being hard to resign him as a losing organization has to overpay. And when his rookie contract is up and the new team has to pony up the new contract the player again losing value. I personally wouldn't give up a high pick on a player I had to pay top dollar for on top of everything.
He seems to always be in the wrong place & wrong time then. When big chunk plays happen, he's usually at the scene of the crime....
Then someone gets pounded?
I feel like you're just flinging **** at the walls now. Or maybe just trolling. I feel really confident in saying that the Steelers, if they were looking for any position before the trade deadline, won't be looking for a RB. And, I feel really confident that you are aware of this also.
Guy has some really wacky opinions not sure he is trolling.
A conditional 7th round pick in 2025. If the Jets are just trying to move on why wouldn’t we consider bringing in a 28 yo RB with over 6k yards at 4.6ypc? Oh, because Harris been tearing it up out there. It would be really easy to see if the problem is the line or the back by putting a multiple thousand yard season back behind the line. If he isn’t better then he doesn’t get enough to have us give up anything. If he crushes it then we know what the problem is.
The problem with your thinking is that you are looking at it as a fan. Just because we debate what we think is the problem, doesn't mean ... well, anything. We're not privy to any of the inside thinking, coaching, etc. that goes on. However, the coaches (should) have a pretty good idea where the problem with the running game is by now. And, they've indicated it's both the line and Najee/Warren at different times. "Popcorning" So, by their reasoning, the Steelers don't need, and should not want, another RB. They say they need to fix the issues at hand .. i.e. the "popcorning".
Well, I can show you a handful of runs vs the Rams where an obvious hole to the A gap was missed by Najee who proceeded to get tackled for a loss or no gain. I guess I need to be a coach to see that though. I do see us continuing to pound out Najee who has below average vision and not enough speed to get to the C or D gaps. Then I see Dalvin Cook who last year banged off runs of 40, 53, and 81. To compare Najee Harris's career long is 37.

But hey man. You are right. As a fan like yourself bringing in a pro bowl running back for almost no risk for marginal compensation is just asinine.
So to sum it up it just doesn't make sense that they would. Especially when it isn't even near the closest team need. They would need a CB, DE, C, and WR before bringing in a third string RB.
