Suppose he had real (and lasting) pain and was taking opiates? The league suspends him? That’s a disgustingly sick system.

I’m not aware of an opiate policy. Is this a thing in the nfl?

I’m asking a question. They don’t have one?

I guess the real answer to my concern is being ok with handing out oxy, but going after pot smokers.

Steelers roll deep to watch Mason Rudolph at Oklahoma State's Pro Day bit.ly/2HzFbG0

The Mason Rudolph interest is real. Met with him at combine as well.

Steelers sign LB Jon Bostic (former Colt).

[tifosi77]

What are the odds they still draft an LB in the first round?

50/50. Gonna be a linebacker or safety.

[grunthy]

I hope they don’t draft a safety.

Source tells me #Packers FA Safety Morgan Burnett is headed to the #Steelers Flying out tomorrow morning to complete the deal

[willeyeam]

appears to be a slight upgrade over Mitchell per PFF. Don't know much about him

[Morkle]

Will he talk less than Mitchell? If yes, already a better player.

[NTP66]

I don't know anything about him, but it appears as though a lot of Packers fans are unhappy with them not retaining him for that amount. Anything is an upgrade over our guys (sans Haden).

Looks like NFL is changing the catch rule, JJ play will likely be a catch going forward.

in b4 until it is against the pats

Burnett's PFF grade was a 77, or "Average" last year. Regardless, definitely sounds like an upgrade.

Richard Rydze, the former Pittsburgh Steelers doctor found guilty of conspiring to illegally distribute anabolic steroids, human growth hormone and narcotic painkillers, was sentenced Tuesday to a decade in federal prison.
Rydze, 68, was convicted May 2 by a jury in federal court in Pittsburgh of 180 counts after three days of deliberations. He will be allowed to turn himself in as dictated by the U.S. Marshal, but not before May 15.

Lev reportedly wants $17 million a year...

[dodint]

Well, so do I. We have about equal chances of getting it.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

I see he's still smoking dope.

[shafnutz05]

If Bell wants Antonio Brown money, he might not remember how Brown went about his business getting the wealthiest receiver contract in the game, at the time of signing.

Brown showed up.

Even when he was grossly underpaid, he showed up and worked his tail off. He didn’t allow his anger and feeling of being slighted stand in the way of respecting the Steelers, and the trust they had in him when they handed him a contract rather than Mike Wallace

[DigitalGypsy66]

That’s not wrong, but Bell can’t wait that long for his payday - the shelf life on running backs is like 6 years. He’s nearing his peak tbh.

[Morkle]

And Brown never took near as many hits as Bell did. It's pretty obvious the Steelers are handling both of them different too, considering they're running their Elite RB into the damn ground.
