Wouldn't mind having him back in the price is right

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.

I’ll take his attitude on D here any day of the week. Solid depth and could even spot start. Get him Hurndog.

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.

Loved his attitude. Would have liked to have him on board when Beckham was pulling his antics on Norman and Finnegan.

Sign Mitchell, Norman when he is released, and draft a SS. Bring in a vet DT for the rotation and we have the #1 defense in the league.

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.

Dude doesn't have it anymore. He is a PI machine.

He is bad now. I don't want him, not even as depth. 

Plus him, just like Coleman really benefited from the pass rush. When they weren't playing with the elite front 7 they regressed hard.
