Wow, seems like a lot of teams are about to cut big name players because of every ones cap situation.. wish we had more cap this year .. seems like there will be a lot of bargain vets up for the taking. 
 

as far as Ben goes he will definitely want to play for a contender.. but if he wants money tepper has made it well known that he willing to open his wallet to win (we are blessed). That said if Ben wants a pay day come on down he still looks good .. plus Tepper was a minority owner of the Steelers he may have a small foot in the door in the lead .... agreed not likey but plausible

We can make plenty of cap for the right person.  The issue is not spending on guys we're going to regret after a year like Teddy, Matt Kalil, etc.

Anybody who watched a Steelers game down the stretch knows Big Ben is washed, way more than Cam even.

We need a QB, but hard, hard pass on Big Ben.  He still has an arm, but he's been hit too many times and makes awful decisions at this point to keep from getting hit.

I don't blame him for not wanting to get hit as someone approaching 40 myself, but he needs to retire.

He would be more of a bridge QB more then anything.. I disagree with your assessment I think he would bring a lot of value to the panthers. 
 

bringing in a super bowl Qb that still produces is exactly what our young guys need if Ben “buys in” but that is a big if but can’t write him off. Specially when you have teddy penciled in as your starting qb

Didn't Roethlisberger state publicly that he would work with him on getting that $41 mil figure down?

Now, what I will say is, Big Ben has been showing some definite signs of decline over the past two seasons. It may just simply be that the Steelers want to move on in general.

I can't say that I would blame him, as I don't think Ben may have more than a year or so left in the tank.

Ben makes little to no sense for us. He is rapidly declining, he don't have a line currently that could protect him adequately and his cost doesn't make any sense whatsoever for a 1-2 year deal outside of a veteran minimum contract.

At that rate, why wouldn't he just sign cheaply somewhere that could actually bring him a title?

His arm is starting to decline somewhat, as well.

Basically said he'd play for nothing.

Apparently, that offer wasn't low enough for the Steelers 🤔

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
