I wonder if Pickens is available now. He's a headcase though 

Hell no... saying Pickens is a headcase is beyond an understatement, zero interest in bringing those type of players into the franchise right now, we're still working on re-setting the culture and locker room, no place for guys like him, talent aside.

I'm gonna be honest, these contracts are causing my interest in the sport to diminish. The contracts keep increasing exponentially and so do the ticket prices, merchandise, concessions, etc. while the typical fan is falling behind vs. inflation. I'm a football junkie but at some point I'm going to force myself to to lose interest in the billionaire play things. I'm getting pretty fuging close. Hell, I'll just watch local HS football to get my fix because college football is going down the same path.

The contracts have absolutely nothing to do with tickets, merchandise, concessions, etc.

This isn't MLB where teams need to make more money to pay the absurd contracts some teams give out, it's a hard cap league that is dictated by the leagues revenue, namely the TV contracts.  

Increases in costs are from a combined factors of inflation and greed, which yes, it does cause some to lose interest, but it has nothing to do with the ever increasing massive contracts.

When has Pittsburgh ever produced a head case WR?  Never has happened.  Seriously, they must put crystal meth in their jugs machine.

Here’s hoping the Steelers fail miserably. Lot of egos in that WR room.

My biggest ?, is why is the best WR drafting team trading their 2nd and swap lates AND giving 130-150(??) for a WR without a QB??

DK averages like 77 recs and 950 yards with like 6 TDs.... Pitt has owned the draft when it comes to selecting WR, yes some turn into legit clowns, still confused by this. 

Maybe the heat is getting to Tomlin??

I don't see why pitt would do this, use that 2nd or 5th and find a stat clone of DK like they always do.

Panthers looking at bills recent 1st round bust. This is one of the those elm+6th for Panthers 5th type of deals. 

 

I keep feeling like Michael Jackson is gone before reading this stuff. 

Looking at other teams failures instead of drafting your own studs? Man I've tried to be optimistic about Dan Morgan but this is way too reminiscent of Scott Fitterer.

I cannot join the dog pile for Morgan on this. Im a 100% sucker for recent former 1st rounder at bargain bin prices.

Maybe he hates buffalo, most people living there do. I know this Mcderp knows DBs as well as anyone and at the time they used a 1st on Elm. He's been in the dog house since.....but a environmental change can have big effect. Odds are low and he's cheap, that's why the price should be low(idk with other teams), but the reward could be a 8 year career as a starting CB. Or he gets cut like most 6th and 7th rounder do....

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
