Steelers Expected to Cut Mike Mitchell

We've got nothing back there

It's true, but considering how things played out with our secondary last year, it's hard to envision not being to get better even with cutting Coleman & trading Worley.  We were near the top in sacks & QB pressures last year, and our secondary still got exposed badly.

But yeah I'm more worried about our secondary than even our WR corp.  Cam has made hay with some mediocre groups before, but our secondary kept us from being a true SB contender IMHO more than anything else

Lets just resign all the former players.

It didn't work out so bad last year lol... seriously though I think Mitchell would be an asset given our huge hole at safety and in the secondary in general right now

I'm personally against it. Rather we go Round 1 Safety than sign him again.

He's being released because he honestly kind of sucks now. 

We badly need depth at safety anyways. I agree with this very good S group in the draft we better come away with at least 1 in the first 3 rounds (I hope we get 2) but that doesn’t keep us from adding veteran depth too.

As a vet min signing I'm fine with it, but Mitchell has made too many boneheaded plays for the steelers since he left us that the fans are all too happy to get rid of him. He's constantly flagged for doing dumb stuff, runs his mouth too much and can't back it up. 

At least Norman backed his mouth up with his play. I'd much rather have his attitude back there than Mitchell.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
