if we called him, there's a good chance the call would get dropped.

If a year too early is the end of their rookie contract, you’re right.

They usually resign their own and barely every participate in FA. The Steeler model to build teams is pretty good, but these WRs they draft seem to be headcases.

The model hasn’t been good for their offense post-Big Ben…which is why their fans want a change.

They've added talent just fine, but missing on these drafted WRs really hurts their team build. They also let Patrick Queen walk which was dumb. It's a good model, but they do need to shake something up. Their fans are the most obnoxious entitled fans in sports.

Their defense is fine. Offense not so much.

Agreed. They signed two low budget reclamation projects that backfired.

I believe in not paying WRs. It seems to rarely work out.

Better to pay Qb, linemen, Edge rusher, CB. Wr, better to keep drafting on get them cheap. Then trade them.

Yeah, that's true in a lot of cases. They have legit missed on WRs by drafting guys who are head cases. It would be different drafting a guy who ended up being mid and not extending him, but they are having to get rid of these guys.

 

[MarylandWHODAT]

Hard pass. No.......

 

[sammymvpknight]

The Steelers sure know how to pick talented and yet crazy WRs

 

[kcirdor]

No to Pickens and No to Dionte Johnson.

No head cases.

Report Reveals George Pickens’s Irresponsible Move Before Steelers Prime-Time Game

The young wideout has been criticized for his antics before.

Loomis would have to do some of his "kick the can" salary cap maneuvering.
We would have to give up some of the extra picks that we have for an immature player...

I would rather try to use the draft to find a WR for next year.

I'm been married to one for 37+ years now...
She use to love telling me " I have 6...you have none"...
Now its " I have 6 & you have one...

Their fan base had an absolute melt down over this year...

More I think about it, agreed. Not worth the risk.
