Possibly.

Is Patterson going to be cut?
Gerry Dulac
10:36
Depends how much more they intend to spend on new players
Sal

Hey Gerry! Happy Wednesday! With Aaron Rodgers deciding and taking time are we putting in jeopardy other important signings like DL ??
Gerry Dulac
10:36
I think they missed the boat on signing impactful DL
Mr Ed
10:37
I guess I’m in the minority Gerry, but my biggest disappointment in the free agency period is not the QB situation but that the Steelers didn’t acquire a quality D lineman. They need two of them not just one and they have to get them in the draft now without a second round pick. Whoever they got or will get at QB wasn’t going to move the needle much, build up rest of the team where more talent existed to choose from. What are your thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
10:37
I'm with you Ed.
Andrew in ATL

Hi Gerry, given the free agent signings and Metcalf trade, do you still expect DT to be addressed in RD 1 of the draft or will it be another position?
Gerry Dulac
10:38
They needed one in free agency AND a top one in the draft. Now that they didn't get on in FA, it only increases the importance in not just Rd 1, but maybe on day 2 as well

Hello Gerry, good morning. Hey, let's sign Mason Rudolph and surround him with good weapons. Maybe another reliable veteran WR and RB, re-sing K Allen and draft a QB in the 5th round. What is the worst that could happen? A 9-8 season and a wild card game lost? Anyway, with this roster I really trust Mason and the Steelers to make a run.
Gerry Dulac
10:38
I don't think 9-8 gets you a wild-card spot

This should be a fun chat because we all look to you for clarity. Are you to the point where the Steelers need to make an untypical move by trading Pickens Watt or Minkah to move up in the draft for serious impact player.?
Gerry Dulac
10:39
It matters more if the Steelers are to the point to do that, and that's where Pickens comes into play
Tom
10:39
Between two mostly-past their prime qb's, would it be smartest to bring back the guy that knows the playbook?
Gerry Dulac
10:40
Of course it is. But there is a big question of who the OC might want to work with
Indiana Mike
10:40
Had Craig Wolfley been sick for a while or was his passing very sudden - so sad for Steelers Nation!
Gerry Dulac
10:40
Yes, very, very sad. There aren't many better human beings than Wolf. He will be missed by all, big time
David

I know it’s not custom to front offices admitting mistakes but this whole quarterback situation has not gone the way they envisioned and has stunted the opportunity to sign some players they wanted ..right ?
Gerry Dulac
10:42
I don't know that it stunted signing other players because I like getting Slay and Gainwell and I like the trade for Metcalf because it shows how serious they are to improve their WR group.
Kyser Sozay
10:42
Here’s my idea - Trade Watt for picks, and use what you get to move into position for the quarterback you want (hopefully not Sanders). Feel free to deal Pickens for picks as well. Strengthen the DL, get a high quality receiver to pair with Metcalf in the draft. The Steelers would be stronger in years to come and maybe even next year if you have a good draft.
Gerry Dulac
10:42
Ambitious idea
Tom
10:42
Isn't it a super JV move to sign a receiver for the 4th largest contract when he isn't close to being the 4th best receiver in the league?
Gerry Dulac
10:42
It was a huge contract for sure. Surprising
BBatSG

Good morning Gerry, at this point in his career, is Aaron Rodgers closer to Johnny Unitas w/ the Chargers and Joe Namath w/ the Rams, or Joe Montana w/ the Chiefs?
Gerry Dulac
10:43
Great comparisons my friend
Linebacker Lounge
10:43
Chuck Noll once said if you are talking about retiring, you already have. Rodgers has brought this up in the recent past, so why in the world have interest in paying this guy to go along with the rest of his history?
Gerry Dulac
10:43
Couldn't agree more. It only points up the position they are in.
Patrick
10:43
Good morning, the QB situation aside it feels like free agency has been a letdown. Is that your feeling or is it too soon to judge?
Gerry Dulac
10:45
The letdown was not getting a DL. Otherwise, WR, CB and RB have been addressed for now. And an early decision on either Fields or Wilson could have resulted in getting a strong No. 2 in Daniel Jones. That's all out the window now
Outside the Box
10:45
Is it the correct take that the Steelers will not likely want to keep Pickens given Metcalf is now on board, with a similar skill set (or role within an offense anyway), having to pay them both, and to manage them both given their penchant for volatility? Thanks, Ger
Gerry Dulac
10:45
That is a very correct take
801steelersfan
10:45
I dont understand their desire for Rodgers, he's a less mobile version of Russ at this point. Why not just bring back Russ?
Gerry Dulac
10:45
That's where they are right now.
Brian
10:45
Rodgers?  Really?  Just how sensitive are these coaches if their feelings are so hurt that they don't want to bring back Russ?  And do they really think they can handle ARod better?
Gerry Dulac
10:46
Pay the man!
Ryan Steel
10:46
Why are they just sitting around waiting on Rodgers? Did they learn nothing from the Aiyuk saga last year?
Gerry Dulac
10:46
Different issue, but I get your point
Linebacker Lounge
10:46
So they are gonna let E-Rob walk for 3 mil, hope Holcomb can rebound and sign Harrison for 5 mil a year?! What am I missing? Pay Me!
Gerry Dulac
10:46
Harrison is an OLB, but $5 million a year for a guy with 2 career sacks??
IUP Dave
10:47
Good morning Mr. Dulac.  I hope your day is great. This qb issue seems to be deju vu all over again and at the most important position.  Will we ever learn?  Why are we waiting. If Rodgers so badly wanted to play for the Steelers he would have signed.   And how big of a difference is there between Rodgers and Wilson in the end result of this year's season?  Sure Wilson lost the last 6 games, but didn't have Metcalf when Pickens went down.  I would rather same some dough signing Wilson and spend the extra cash on a big man to center the defensive line. Why are we playing this waiting game again?
