Because the Steelers are trying to maintain their success as a Super Bowl contender and they've done a good job of that this side of New England

The Steelers still need to clear more cap space before tagging Bell, correct ?
Ed Bouchette
2:35
About $9 million more

If Walt Kiesling had kept Johnny Unitas, would he still be coaching this team?

Where do you think it is the easiest position for a rookie to come in and contribute, ILB, S, RB?
Ed Bouchette
2:38
Running back by far. Easiest position to pick up in the NFL quickly

Ed, do you think running backs should get paid as much as receivers?  They take more pounding, often touch the ball much more and have to block as much or more.  It seems like they are underpaid.

The market is the market. I was told that a long time ago. Bell would like to bring that market up for RBs. Maybe he will.

Any chance they don’t tag Bell?
Ed Bouchette
2:39
He told ESPN they said they would tag him, so I'm taking him at his word and if they did tell him that, then that is their plan because I don't think they'd lie to him like that.

Do you think you could outrun Roger Goodell?

I don't believe the stopwatch got it right

Hi Ed, if and when do you see the Steelers taking a CB in this draft
Ed Bouchette
2:40
They may not take one at all. I think they have a full plate now.

With the cap raising to $177.2 M and us having $4 M in roll over cap space from the previous season (plus the $5 M we already have available) where do we sit as of right now in cap space?
Ed Bouchette
2:41
They have about $5 million in cap space, according to OverTheCap. That counts all that stuff.

Ed Bouchette
2:42
I would not draft a tight end in the first two days
Thank you for another great chat, see you next Tuesday.
