I have to think that the hiring of Brian Flores increases the odds that the Steelers will at least inquire about Deshaun Watson (if they haven't already). By all accounts each is a fan of the other, so much so that Miami reportedly was at the top of Watson's wish list of landing spots before...
This is maybe the best free-agent tracker I've come across. Up-to-date, and VERY thorough:

BTW: There are some very good players left, more than a few who could help the Steelers. And they know that.
So don't be discouraged by what's transpired up to...
Just wondering if any of you are subscribing to the Sunday Ticket this year?
And if so, are you getting a discount off the regular price?
It looks like the cost, once again, is around $300. It seems to me that, given the pandemic and the economic hit to the country, the NFL could offer a...
A little media-related news (and not fake): Easy Ed is joining the Pittsburgh bureau of The Athletic, starting today:

Oh, boy. According to Dulac and Bouchette he was being disciplined:

Steelers receiver...
Here's an item that will interest Steeler fans:
ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that the career of Bengals' Vontaze Burfict could be in jeopardy because of concussions. He has already sustained seven in his career, including one last Sunday vs. the Browns - his second this month...
Dejan Kovacevic, filling in for Mark Madden, is asking Steeler fans to call in and make a case for firing Mike Tomlin. This is pretty good stuff...but so far no one has made a detailed, coherent argument for doing it.
Here's a link to the station (105.9 The X) and show...
Good piece on "The Tomlin Situation Going Forward":

Whenever a caller broaches the subject of firing Mike Tomlin on my radio program, I dismiss it out of hand.
First...
For a supposed Steeler-hater, Cowherd sounds like their biggest fan. Says Bell not only walked away from a lot of money, but other things that mean a lot (but that Bell, and other pro athletes, don't give enough weight to):

Some good stuff, as usual:

That "nugget" came out of Tomlin's weekly press conference a little while ago.
Tomlin minimized it, saying it might limit the QB early in the week.
For us old farts, hearing about an elbow issue conjures bad memories. That's how Bradshaw's career ended.
The writer is joking around...I think. In any case, it's entertaining:

So for those wondering what the Steelers might get for Dobbs, the answer is not much.
As for Jones, Bouchette and Dulac say there's...
Reading yesterday's chat transcript from Gerry Dulac of the Post-Gazette, he thinks the Steelers, not the Patriots, will end up hosting the AFC Championship game.
Without getting more specific, what he's saying is that either the Steelers will reclaim the No. 1 seed, or the Pats will lose in...
OK, gang, I have two tickets for sale to the Christmas Day game in Houston a week from this coming Monday. Included is a parking pass to the Purple Lot, only a short walk to the stadium.
These are good seats: Section 322 - the mezzanine level, about halfway up (Row N). These are "straight...
