DK trade looks better now for Pit in that they weren't re-signing pickens this offseason and now getting a third back soften the trading a second for DK. However DK's deal is still an albatross (so glad we didn't do that)

Dallas is the one that makes no sense to me. Last year they should have gone all in, they didn't and now are basically dipping their toes in without fully committing. I'd be furious if I was a cowboys fan with how they've run the team the last two offseasons

PIT’s draft picks next year are looking more than plentiful.

With the OL they’re building (Jones, Frazier, McCormick, Fautanu all promising and very young), DK, & the Kaleb/Jaylen combo, they’ll be in a good spot to put a rookie QB in a sound position come 2026. They may look lost right now, but it will be corrected in short order. There’s a sequence to things there.

The track record for this is downright comical. At this point when Pickens inevitably flames out in Dallas the next time the Steelers put a WR on the trade block teams across the league just need to ignore them and wait for the team to release him.

first rule they would teach any proper GM in GM School is if the Steelers are trying to trade you a WR.....you tell them no thank you and block the number.

Man, for a 24 year old WR with his talent to get traded for that the overall view of him around the league must have been that he was nuclear radioactive level toxic.

And yet I argue with folks a lot about not wanting the wrong attitudes in our locker room, haha.

Tanking for Archie

I've seen a bunch of early mocks that don't have him going and also seen it mentioned how some people think he won't come out next year, as both Peyton and Eli stayed 4 years in school, they think Arch could in the end as well.

If Rodgers doesn't sign "I fully expect him to do so", watch Will Howard go out and throw for 3600 yards with 25td and 10int and the Steelers are 11-6 and in the Playoffs with a QB and having not spent much on him. lol

   I wanted to see some thoughts on the trade and got some insight on my Steelers. A lot of it I can’t argue with. In the horrible position of not good enough to compete but too good to tank. With no QB plan for present or future. 
 

  Signing Fields would have bought them one-two years to search and if he continues improving like last year, then problem solved. And he doesn’t prevent them from taking a 1st rounder who gets in the range of their pick. But Tomlin screwed him over and he bolted. Now Rodgers is probably coming, and they will finish 9-8. It’s time to move on from Tomlin or they’ll be in same position for a decade. 

   Pickens was gone the second they gave DK his contract. Thought of the Panthers but y’all took care of that and he’s the last thing Bryce needs. Offense should be fun to watch and defense….well..

I think if defense is average you win South.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
