Tre boston

[ATL96Steeler]

Its his original 5-yr contract he signed back in '14. He looked ok but was never that great. Polamalu was a shell of himself that year, and I think only played 8-10 FULL games.

Exactly...Mitchell was okay really up until the last 2 seasons....the drop off has been significant.

Now release Wilcox and sign Boston!

Well... technically... DOO EET MONDAY!

Sadly I keep hearing more & more about the Steelers' interest in retaining Wilcox.

Me as well.

I think he's the best/cheap vet option they have apparently..if he starts...gag....I don't think he's going to keep the job long...if they get Reid, he may not start at all.

If they get Reid I would hope that he would start right away. I'm hearing he has the smarts, and I'd be willing to bet he would land on his feet if thrown into the fire right away.

We never know how these drafts are going to go, I would take LVE, or Evans at 28, but truth be told I'm hoping for Reid...partly because of his potential, but also in part of getting Mitchell off the field...I don't wish ill will on the man, but he just shouldn't be starting.

I think that shipped has sailed for the Steelers with Burnett, but I'm curious as to why Boston hasn't signed. I know he had a career yr and maybe banked too much on that and priced himself out.

I know I’m just not totally sold on. Burnett

I'm sold on him as a SS, but being realistic, I'm not sold on Davis converting to FS.

My ideal draft would yield a true FS, a guy that will compete for the job as a rookie. I could see Davis back in the SS role in '19 if he has the game.

Agreed. I hope the transition goes smoothly for Davis. But we have no idea what the plan is yet. It's all rumors at this point.

I'm starting to hear some talk about S here in ATL and of course Reid's name is in the mix....I still think the Falcons are going or should be going OG or DT in the 1st rd, but you never know...I'm not that keen on the FS they have even though he makes plays...something to watch.

Also, I got some good feedback on Bates...more than one person (CFB heads) has said they think he's starter material and more of studious type player with a lot of upside...28 seems high, but maybe it's not.
