What’s the logic of Cam’s extension? They don’t seem to need the cap savings this year.  I do understand he’s only guaranteed the $16M he was going to get this year. But if they bring him back next year, he would be getting $15M per year which seems way too much for him at this stage of his career. They could ask him to take a cut but that would be a PR problem they wanted to avoid this year. Do you really think he’s worth $15M per year?
Gerry Dulac

That's why another decision will likely be made next year. As of right now, they are only on the hook for the $16 million they were going to pay him anyway this season

Gerry, how can so many members of the national media be critical of the Steelers (predicting 5-7 wins) and yet continue to praise Mike Tomlin? Doesn't that seem counterintuitive?
Gerry Dulac
10:17
Pay the man!
SteersFanInCincy10:17Gerry, now that Cam is signed. What do you think Muth gets signed for?
10:19
I don't know, maybe something like 3 years, $30 million

Gerry, when do you do your weekly picks?

Gerry, ever play a Snell golf ball? The new 4.0 is really good.
Gerry Dulac
10:19
I hear that. The guy who designed the ball used to work for one of the major ball manufacturers

Gerry, how concerned are we to be about the O-line? It needs health and quickly.
Gerry Dulac
10:20
Are you kidding? With all those high draft picks? They will be fine.

Gerry, everyone is worried about the offense but i think we'll be running down peoples throughts. Thoughts?
Gerry Dulac
10:20
That would appear to be the plan

Curious if coaches in the booth have access to replays as quickly as viewers do on the telecast.  Seems a consistent game-changing problem, wondering what obstacles exist to allow resolution?
Gerry Dulac
10:21
Not sure if they have a direct feed or not.

While I try to be optimistic heading into each season it seems like too many AFC teams have passed us by in terms of talent and scheme on offense - interested to hear if you agree or not.  Thanks
Gerry Dulac
10:22
That's what everybody seems to think, but I don't exactly think the Steelers sat quietly this offseason and did nothing.

Do you believe the team will look for help at the trade deadline at WR? That room is very bad and has to be concerning to them. Thanks!
Gerry Dulac
10:23
I hate to tell you this, they are not concerned like you suggest. https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2024/09/03/mike-tomlin-le...

Do you think we will do anything with all the cap space we have to improve the team?
Gerry Dulac
10:23
Maybe, but I don't think they are actively thinking that way right now

Thought the chat started at 9 am.  I d be fired if I showed up 50 minutes late

You read wrong. 10 am every week

Hi Gerry thanks for the Chats. Lots worried about #2 WR but what about depth at ball catching TE? I'm worried if Muth gets hurt. I don't see the other TE's as being able to fill the gap. Thanks.
Gerry Dulac
10:25
Hey, you can't have quality backups at every position. But, before you panic even more, let's wait and see what happens

Hi Gerry. Thanks for the chat. With the offensive line injuries, striking out on a #2 receiver, and the underwhelming preseason QB play, national media sentiment on the Steelers has gone from borderline playoff team to bottom third of the AFC over the last month - do you still see a minimum 10 win season with stacking wins in September & October looking more difficult?
Gerry Dulac
10:26
I do.

Gerry I know that the rosters are  53 players. But why does the NFL limit dressing only the 46 for the games? It seems like with a concern for injury and concussions that all 53 players should be able to dress for a game. Your thoughts
Gerry Dulac
10:26
I agree 100 percent

Morning Gerry, How would you rate Kahn's second offseason as GM? It seems like he had another solid draft and signing Queen was a great move. However, he may have misjudged the WR market and not built enough veteran depth to protect from injury.
Gerry Dulac
10:27
As the Monkeys once sang, second verse better than the first!
Ryan

What are your thoughts on extending Pat Fry? I've sent a large portion of fans totally against it but I'm thinking it's a smart move. He's not likely asking for nor getting Kelce level money, he's an excellent receiving tight end. Last year he was hampered by injuries but prior to that he played excellent despite Matt Canada and poor QB play.
Gerry Dulac
10:31
Not sure why anyone would be against it. What or whom are they expecting?

Gerry, How many Steeler fans do you think were surprised to hear that Russell won the "competition"?
Gerry Dulac
10:32
You mean disillusioned fans?
Eddie
10:32
When can we see a Dan Moore Jr extension?
Gerry Dulac
10:32
When they bring back Ben

Good morning Gerry. Will all the money saved by Cam’s contract  be spent on Friermuth or other players as well?  Thank you.
Gerry Dulac
10:33
Cam's deal has nothing to do with any money that might be spent on extending current players or signing new ones
