William Jackson lll to Steelers

Anybody know what kind of Comp pick we get for JuJu...if at all?
Unfortunately we signed Cole, Daniels, Gunner, Wallace, Trubinsky. Jacks was cut so he doesn't count. Granted non of them are equal to JuJu's contributions to the Chiefs but those Steeler signings will cancel out his and McClouds departure.
 
I don't understand this trade. The Steelers aren't going anywhere this year. Just ride it out with who you've got. When healthy, you have to see what you have with Witherspoon, Wallace, and Sutton. Pierre can step in plus you have Maulet. If anything, the Steelers will be looking at adding a top cornerback prospect in the draft next year. This is just wasted cap space and taking away playing time from guys you need to evaluate. From what I've read, Jackson's play has also really fallen off.
 
So we gave up a sixth round pick and received a seventh round pick in the 2025 draft.
That’s nothing to bring this guy in. His salary this year will be prorated since the season is half over.
Why not give him a shot? He may be an upgrade of what we already have.
They liked him during the 2016 draft and were set to draft him until the Bengals snatched him up.

I have to agree. He is too highly paid and he has not been playing well and injured. This move makes little sense other than Tomlin liked him coming out of college. Unless we can cut him next year and not be on the hook for his dead cap space.

Why. Cause he is over 9 million dead money and may never play a meaningful down. But hey Tomlin liked him in the pre draft.

I’m fine with this move. It’s not like we couldn’t use the help at CB.
I think they may be looking at this like a Joe Haden type move.
They have nine games to see if he fits.
Not sure how the money plays out on this. I would certainly think Omar being the numbers guy that he is took all that into consideration.

I don't need Omar to tell me how this is. If he doesn't fit and right now he can't play its 9 million ****** dollars against the dap next year. 9 million. 13 for him to play if he is the ***** but they are embarrassed about the move.
 
3 of his 5.25 year career he has some good pass defenced numbers and 5 ints total. He is like several DBs on the roster already.
 
Who wouldn't look bad in Pittsburgh?
WLIII!!!!!!!

half the board ******* the Steelers never make any moves and the same group ******* when they do

Yes I love the move mainly because he is out of UH. I really wanted him then the ******* bungles ruined it

If he shows to be half of what he was coming out of college Omar will find a way to make the money work

Let's make a move. TJ Watt for future considerations. Hey its a move. Sell right now. Don't buy. Buying is stupid when you are ******. Clear cap don't add. There will be 5 WJIII available in Free agency. What a nimrod show.
 
I don't think it will end up costing what some perceive. A low round experiment. I am ok with it.
 
Any chance the Redskins eat part of his salary?
I don't know but the Steelers are on the hook for 3.7 this year where if he was the second coming of Woodson it wouldn't matter and 9 if he doesn't play next year and 14 if he does. But hey no problem. He will look great and Omar will use the magic beads to get him on a great contract.
