Vagitron Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 12 minutes ago, Neo said: As much as I hate the Steelers, I give them credit. Either you fit the player that they need or you are gone, they don't mess around.Ā Apparently Kenny was pissed off they brought in Wilson. There was that dust up with Rudolph last season where Pickett apparently refused to be second string so he didnāt dress. I believe he asked to be traded here and tomlin abides by the āvolunteers not hostagesā mentality which I believe is also why Johnson was possibly traded. Although Johnson isnāt a willing blocker and thatās kind of a requirement in an Arthur smith offense.Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with good sources confirmed it even tho he himself denied it which is why the one game he didnāt dress despite being okay to be 3rd string due to injury recovery. Apparently he was on board with competing for the job but when the team brought in Wilson he changed his tune. Frankly that was enough for me because if heās not willing to grind for the job I donāt want him anyway.Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomlin loves fields and there was always mutual interest there. The Steelers love their buckeyes. Couple people I respect said there was still mutual interest and then this happened. It's wild for me as a steeler fan in the best of ways. Getting him for a 6th is insane and it only becomes a 4th if he plays 51% of the snaps next season. Id have been over the moon for a 4th.

McLeod wasn't bad back there Well positioned to draft. Added a FA, at WR,RB,QB,TE & Tackle.. Added no C's or G's, but we'll need to get younger at Guard. RB Nyheim Hines does both punt & KR. Defense added 2 FA LB'ers, DT, S & ST/CB it's open to a draftee taking a 2 season players spot at several backup depth positions not a bad FA haul by Berry, considering we started almost 18M over the new higher cap number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
