Ed, when a team wins Super Bowl, is it the owners sole expense to buy the rings? Or does NFL pitch in? Also, do teams give out rings if they lose Super Bowls, I believe they used to?
Ed Bouchette
2:17
NFL allows so much for rings but not enough to provide for everyone in the organization as the Steelers and other teams have done. The thing I remember is the Steelers gave out watches when they won the AFC championship in 1995 season, not rings. Not sure what other teams do. No rings.

what round will the Steelers draft a running back this year
Ed Bouchette
2:17
No need to go high, but they need another, maybe even a UFA
Nate

Hi Ed, worst case scenario:  Steelers can't find another team willing to give up 1st rd pick (even a low one).  Do they just take the best offer (2nd rd pick), or do they keep Brown?  They can't just give him away, of course.  Thanks!
Ed Bouchette
2:19
If they decide to trade Brown, it's not necessarily because of the return they can get but that they decided to move on without him.
TXSTEELER

Ed, Eli is a restricted FA. Steeers co trim his rights. Almost certain to be back.
Ed Bouchette
2:19
I was told he's UFA
AB's Agent
2:19
What's the likelihood that my client demands a new contract from any team trading for him?
Ed Bouchette
2:20
That's always possible but he has 3 years left on his current deal and why would a team give him a new one?
Gregg
2:20
Which team do you think would be the best to trade AB to, considering draft pick and/or current player need return scenarios?
Ed Bouchette
2:20
He seems to want to go to San Francisco for some reason. Send him there.
Polamalu
2:20
Do u think Steelers believe JuJu can be a number 1 Wr?
Ed Bouchette
2:21
He can be a number one, yes, but he'll need another WR along with James Washington to spread things out and take the coverage off.
Bob
2:21
Ed do you think Tomlin gets a extension or do the Steelers play a wait and see game
Ed Bouchette
2:22
I once thought they would extend him, but I could see them -- and him -- waiting another year

Odds of Boz making the final roster in 2019?
Ed Bouchette
2:22
He'll have ample time in training camp  and preseason to show if he can still kick

Is Heath Miller in the HOF conversation? Thanks
Ed Bouchette
2:23
Probably not. He doesn't have the numbers like some of the others.
Nate
2:23
Hi Ed, will you be the one to present the case for Faneca's induction into the HOF?  Thanks!
Ed Bouchette
2:23
Yes, Saturday morning.
And well into the afternoon.

Ed....love your chats....any idea where mark malone is?  used to see him on TV a lot.  thought he was good.
Ed Bouchette
2:24
Mark has a daily radio show on NBC Sports.
Hpf
2:24
Which AFC NORTH team is the biggest threat next year?
Ed Bouchette
2:24
Baltimore's defense and Cleveland's QB could make them dual threats
Bud
2:25
When will the Steelers next be naming the additions to their Ring of Honor? Thanks.
Ed Bouchette
2:25
Not until next summer.
CD in SC
2:25
Time to move on from Foster now that BJ seems more than capable?
Ed Bouchette
2:25
Don't be surprised if Ramon Foster re-signs
Chuck_in_DC
2:25
I am in shock that Bud Dupree could possibly STILL be our starting OLB.  May as well let him go, save the $$$ and let someone else play... can't do any worse.
Ed Bouchette
2:26
I'm going by what Art Rooney II told us a few weeks ago, so it would appear to me he'll be back
Johnny B

The bottom line is that in today’s sports world you just have to put up with these divas and everything that goes along with it. It’s not like it hasn’t always taken place. It’s just more up front because of social media. Everyone is down on Steelers but I rather be them and have their resume more than most any other franchise.
Ed Bouchette
2:27
I don't disagree but I haven't seen a previous Steeler WR cause so much drama as AB. Martavis Bryant a little, Santonio Holmes a little. Nothing else close.
Sal
2:28
Any movement on any personnel changes in our defensive backfield scouting department? Asking for a friend.
Ed Bouchette
2:28
I'm not sure what a defensive backfield scouting department is.
Mr H
2:28
What do you think, Ed? Does Terrell Edmunds have the ability to be an impact player or does he just look more like a serviceable starter?
Ed Bouchette
2:29
I've pointed out that Troy Polamalu did not start a game as a rookie. That does not mean Edmunds is Troy just that it's hard to determine sometimes as rookies. He has the talent.
Nate
2:29
Hi Ed, any predictions on who makes it into this year's HOF?  Thanks!
