Man, tough to say on Nelson. Seems like bridges were burned, but who knows.

Came across this earlier today. . .

Don't rule out Hooker signing; just don't expect it to happen right away.

Then, there's Xavien Howard. The Dolphins already shipped Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Steelers for a first-round pick that turned into a two-time First-Team All-Pro selection. No one seems to be real upset about losing that "top 10 pick."

So, why not do it again? The Steelers need a nickelback to work with Joe Haden and Cameron Sutton, but if there's none that meet the standard, adding a First-Team All-Pro outside corner isn't a bad option.

I'm hyperventilating...

If we sign Xavien Howard I'll need to be revived!!!


ommmm...deeeep breaths...in with the good air..out with the bad.. if we sign Xavien Howard? I'll be glad!



Though as I read headlines all I see is a truckload of teams about to sign him as well.


I really do think the Steelers are going all in for No.7.

No way do we have the cap space to take on Howard's contract. He would cost us 2nd round pick on top of a huge salary.

Eagles have 3.3 million in cap space. They definitely could sign Nelson.

$12M/yr. . . I have to agree. That's too rich, esp for the Steelers right now. Hooker is more realistic. On top on it, Howard is not happy with his current contract, so you are getting Steven Nelson 2.0.

If they figure out a deal and use Haden's money next year to get him where he wants to be - I'd be all in. Howard is a true shutdown corner...

Hmmm ... clicked on the link for Nelson's account and it no longer exists. He say something so stupid that his agent took his Twitter away?
Or he got tired of Steelers fans and temporarily took it down.
