2024 Free agency and draft thread

[dtgold88]

Gotta say I am a little surprised Chubb is still unsigned.....

I get that he is coming off a brutal knee injury and broken foot but an a low salary, incentive laden deal would seem alright for a team willing to take a flyer on him. His workout videos are pretty impressive.

Might be wrong but thought there were some pretty impressive work out videos last year too.

Maybe he (or teams) biding time and he will join one when/if someone loses a top RB? I could see not wanting to go to a training camp if him.

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

someone in particular this is referring to?

It started with Miles Garrett who falsely accused Rudolph of calling him the N word and then doubled down on the lie later.

I was able to overlook this until they acquired Watson. As my wife was a message therapist that one hit home.

Now they have drafted Deion and his son who have been bitched slapped into reality after learning that acting like an entitled asshole is not the way to endure yourself to prospective employers.

Why din't they just sign Justin Tucjer while they are at it?

I don't like what Myles did and while wont rule out he heard what he thinks I have a tough time believing it.......a dozen or so teams tried to acquire Watson....pretty much any team who needed a QB and was trying to win......Hopefully your wife knows if in an uncomfortable position and not held against her will she should just walk out the door and also don't reach out to alleged attacker to see him again.

Have to say is funny the Tucker issue being swept under the rug as what he did no less than Watson and I'd guarantee his team has known about it for a while (well before it came out publicly). do they dump him if he's still kicking at an elite level? Not so sure.

as to sanders? Hopefully he learns his lesson but only one he could have hurt here if anyone was himself.

I think we will hear a lot more about Tucker once the investigation is complete. His situation is different because he's at the end and appears to be washed where Watson, at the time, was considered a franchise QB in his prime. Yeah I have no doubt a lot of teams looked into him but only one acquired him, and by giving him that much guaranteed money they fucked over every other team with a QB contract coming up as they attempted to reset the market.

As for Little Deion I hope he flames out in spectacular fashion, it would serve them both right for being so entitled.

well only one team can acquire any player.......also likely more teams were willing to offer that deal but, again, could only choose one.

The guarantee has always been overblown in many aspects. For the Browns because they made the deal thinking he'd be the guy he was in Houston and not forget how to play the sport (as did all the suitors). If he was, he would have been underpaid within a couple years and likely would have renegotiated again and/or extended.

I hear Shedeur speaks well of and hopes for the best for you.

Your the ONLY one who thinks that, not even your fellow Brown fans believe that. What nearly everyone thinks is the Browns were told they were off Watson list of choices so they offered something so big, so stupid, that it blew any other offer plum off the map.

No way.

The Browns tried to turn the market upside down by giving so much guaranteed money and it bit them in the ass harder than any team got bit in the ass in recent memory. Justice was served.

Pittsburgh traded Pickens to Dallas for a 3rd and swap of late round picks.

 

[DJ Fieri]

LOL at Dallas adding another "unique personality" aka head case to that locker room....

 

[Xeliou66]

The Steelers may really suck this year, now Metcalf is their only strong receiver, their RB situation looks shaky, and of course there’s the big question at QB. Pickens is definitely something of a drama queen and I’m not surprised they traded him, but the Steelers O may be dreadful this season.
I’m not sure how Pickens will fit in to the Dallas locker room or if he’ll cause drama, but they needed another proven solid receiver besides CeeDee and Pickens provides that.

 

[DJ Fieri]

If Tomlin couldn't keep Pickens in line....you think a rookie HC in Schotty Jr can?

LOL.

They also have a good TE and they drafted a RB in Kaleb Johnson to go with Jaylen Warren....they also have Kenneth Gainwell.....

Im pretty sure they have some sort of gypsy curse where they'll win 10 games and then lose by 20 in the first round of the playoffs

That’s been the case the last few years, but I doubt they can have a winning record with that offense this year, especially if they have to go with Mason Rudolph at QB.

Mason Rudolph's record is 8-5-1 on the Steelers.

That said, you would have to imagine that the Ravens left games on the table that they should have won and the Bengals left games on the table they should have won last year and if the Browns offense improves at all then it isnt hard to see the Steelers having a collapse.
