Wow, seems like a lot of teams are about to cut big name players because of every ones cap situation.. wish we had more cap this year .. seems like there will be a lot of bargain vets up for the taking. 
 

as far as Ben goes he will definitely want to play for a contender.. but if he wants money tepper has made it well known that he willing to open his wallet to win (we are blessed). That said if Ben wants a pay day come on down he still looks good .. plus Tepper was a minority owner of the Steelers he may have a small foot in the door in the lead .... agreed not likey but plausible

We can make plenty of cap for the right person.  The issue is not spending on guys we're going to regret after a year like Teddy, Matt Kalil, etc.

Anybody who watched a Steelers game down the stretch knows Big Ben is washed, way more than Cam even.

We need a QB, but hard, hard pass on Big Ben.  He still has an arm, but he's been hit too many times and makes awful decisions at this point to keep from getting hit.

I don't blame him for not wanting to get hit as someone approaching 40 myself, but he needs to retire.

He would be more of a bridge QB more then anything.. I disagree with your assessment I think he would bring a lot of value to the panthers. 
 

bringing in a super bowl Qb that still produces is exactly what our young guys need if Ben “buys in” but that is a big if but can’t write him off. Specially when you have teddy penciled in as your starting qb

Didn't Roethlisberger state publicly that he would work with him on getting that $41 mil figure down?

Now, what I will say is, Big Ben has been showing some definite signs of decline over the past two seasons. It may just simply be that the Steelers want to move on in general.

I can't say that I would blame him, as I don't think Ben may have more than a year or so left in the tank.

Ben makes little to no sense for us. He is rapidly declining, he don't have a line currently that could protect him adequately and his cost doesn't make any sense whatsoever for a 1-2 year deal outside of a veteran minimum contract.

At that rate, why wouldn't he just sign cheaply somewhere that could actually bring him a title?

His arm is starting to decline somewhat, as well.

Basically said he'd play for nothing.

Apparently, that offer wasn't low enough for the Steelers 🤔

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
