In this episode of Steelers Central, the WR market just received an influx of talent as two teams released their big-name WRs in Davante Adams and Tyler Lockett, while another was going to release theirs but opted for getting a late-round pick in return for them. This was a player that the Steelers coveted at the trade deadline last year, but unfortunately will no longer be on their target list.
The team must also decide on TJ Watt now that the Raiders signed Maxx Crosby to a 3-year, 106.5 million dollar deal. Will the Steelers pay Watt around 35 million dollars, or should they start exploring what draft capital they could get for him?
Next, why the team needs to make a quarterback decision now. This has dragged on throughout FA and could be used against them once FA starts. What is the hold-up, and why the Steelers need to sort this out soon.
Lastly, I’ll examine the cornerback room and explain why this position requires an overhaul. The Steelers need to splurge at this position for a long-term solution that includes multiple signings and no more band-aids over bullet holes.
0:00-16:05 WR Cap Cuts and Trade Options
16:06-25:27 Watt do the Steelers do
25:28-36:12 Playing the QB waiting game
36:13-45:49 Positional Overview: CB
