What about McFadden?

No not Darren...

Bryant McFadden is an UFA. I've watched a lot of Steelers games over the last two years, and I like this guy. He's tough, plenty of talent, good with zone, and exactly the type of guy I'd like to have on our team. He's made some big plays as a backup for Steelers.

He's going to want a much bigger contract, and rightfully so. But we could cut Lucas, save a little money on McFadden (probably), and acquire a very promising young guy with enough experience that he isn't a project.

I'm sure there are some good reasons why we shouldn't be interested, and I'd love to hear them if anyone has some reservations. I'm drinking the Bryant McFadden Kool-Aid right now.

He's a very good candidate to come in and make an impact IMO. My roommate is a huge steelers fan and firmly believes that McFadden is their second best corner and has huge upside. I would love to have him come in and play the nickel for us we would have a sick lineup of DBs if that happened..

I'd see him taking Lucas' spot and Marshall staying at nickel. I don't expect any big moves, but I'd love this one.

    • Depends on who is available that free agency cycle, which we would never know, sadly.
    • I am not getting too far ahead of myself on expectations. I predicted 4-7 wins and I feel pretty good about that considering the rest of the remaining schedule.  The biggest remaining thing to figure out is Bryce. We have to get that situation determined over the remainder of his starts. I am 90-10 against picking up that 5th year but that scenario should immediately involve a trade when that happens. I suspect it will not happen that way at all. Ekwonu looks great, so that fantastic. Brown and Horn are staying healthy and living up to those massive contracts. That's amazing. And the 2025 guys are looking filled with promise. Sadly the 2024 class just keeps looking worse.  So my remaining focus is on the development of TMac, Jimmy Horn, Coker, XL, Scourton, Umanmielen, Evans, etc. If we can get a few wins from that group this roster feels demonstrably better. Wharton has played well for the FA pickups too. 
    • I am gonna say that I don't know that all of the top 15 QB's would this offense cooking. Not only due to fit but I also have yet to be super impressed with DC the playcaller. For all the talk of DC being hamstrung by Bryce, I am not convinced he is a terribly adept OC.  Not saying the bulk of our offensive struggles are not primarily Bryce but I wouldn't be so sure an upgrade at QB would instantly turn us into an elite offense. I still question DC. Also, I will point out that most top 15 QB's would not be super pleased to be looking at the prospect of our WR Corps and TE group.
