Steelers 2022-2023 Season Thread

[mac5155]

this makes me think - what is the Steelers biggest need? If they re-sign Sutton and Ogunjobi, I might actually say WR. The line was cheeks in 2021 and weeks 1-6 this year, and I'd pull the trigger if a stud LT was there, but it's not at the top of my list right now

I think if Broderick Jones is there at 17 you have to take him

I'm really starting to like having pick 2.1 as well. It gives the Steelers a day to reanalyze who's left and also other teams time to salivate and offer too much in a trade.

I like what I see there but I read he might end up at G in the NFL

Twitter says that dionte no longer follows the stillers on Twitter and removed all mentions of the team on his bio.

Hope he refunds part of his $18m.

Well. Bye. I had more heartburn losing JuJu than I did Diontae. Slot wr that's too afraid to play the slot.

[faftorial]

ulf corrects the fake news again.

[nocera]

They wouldn’t cut him unless they had a way to replace his 0 touchdowns scored.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

I'm thinking Ulf needs to buy Twitter

[willeyeam]

ulf had twitter shares in 2014 ish? and it didn't go well

They only save like 2.5 bones if they cut him this year. A bigger savings if they do it after next season. So we're stuck with DJ Drops for another season

$4.67MM in savings if cut before 6/1, $10.5MM if cut after.

[willeyeam]

i could see them trading him

[willeyeam]

thing is, WR room is pretty bleak w/o DJ. Pickens and uh...

[NTP66]

We'll draft a suitable replacement in the 248th round of the next draft, like we always do.

[Trip McNeely]

I am clearly not a Diontae fan but you cannot trade him this off-season. Paying a free agent of any worth to play X or Z would even cost more and there’s nothing behind Pickens until Calvin Austin plays/shows something

I prefer keeping DJ and adding a veteran receiver who plays effectively in the slot at a cheap rate. I don’t think we should use an early round pick on a receiver this year

[nocera]

Plus who's going to run a 7 yard route on 3rd and 10?

If you're using Sportrac, that's his trade value. -$3.33M before 6/1, $2.5 after. Next year it's $10M before and after.

I liked what I saw from Sims. What’s his story?

The internet has failed us today

Either way, I agree with other posters that we should hold onto him next year. He needs to be more of a #3, however. He can't be your #1 target.

I keep going back and forth between the two sites and have no idea why there is such a significant difference between the two sites. But yea, I don't think he goes anywhere. If anything I think he gets restructured to kick more of the bonus down the road.

[Morkle]

I'm fine with trading DJ and running Najee, Pickens, Sims, FA Slot, Muth, Heyward, Austin, 2nd Round WR or 3 Rnd FR.

I don't think it's a bleak as advertised.

The Steelers could even huzzah, pay for JuJu again lmao

[willeyeam]

I'd trade DJ for Juju. I wouldn't want to be in a position of relying on Calvin Austin
