As I said it was a situation where two guys weren’t bought in fully and just didn’t fit in. It wasn’t working any more and both sides thought it was time to move on

If you had to make a choice between Nelson and Haden who do you choose and why?
Zeise
12:41
Nelson is younger and we are starting to see some signs that Haden is slowing down. So I would sign Nelson
Jacque Strap

Do you think FAs this year will be willing to sign lower money, short term deals, with the expectation that the cap next year and beyond will hopefully be a lot closer to pre-COVID numbers.
Zeise
12:43
I think many will have no choice. Think about it - teams now have about $500 million less to spend on players. The contracts these guys are used to just won’t be there

Hi Paul, with Matt Canada running the offence,maybe in the 22 draft Kenny Pickett would look good in black & gold. 3rd or 4th round.
Zeise
12:43
We have to see if he continues to develop. I’m not sure what he would become as an NFL quarterback

Pens are playing well right now. Jarry has raised his level of play. Do the Pens still seek a veteran goalie at the deadline?
Zeise
12:44
No I don’t think they will. I’m sure they are happy with Jarry
Darnell

Hey Paul, has Jim Rutherford given any indication that he may seek another GM position or do you think he’s done with hockey?  Thanks.
Zeise
12:45
Yes he did a podcast with Bob Pompeani and Andrew fullofbaloney and said as much: he wants to work again
Brian
12:46
Do you have any favorites to win the Players Championship?  Thanks
Zeise
12:46
I sad either Tony Finau or Victor Hovland. Both are playing well right now
Guest

will there be any games cancelled / forfeited in the NCAA tourney?
Zeise
12:47
I don’t think so. Once the teams get in the Indy bubble they should be fine

Will Zags go wire to wire undefeated?
Zeise
12:48
No. I think they will lose in the Final Four. I think Baylor might be the team that wins it all
D.O. Double G
12:48
Hey Frank. Do you think Ben will actually be coachable this season under Matt Canada?  Do you think he’ll be able to put his ego aside and do the things he didn’t like doing (play action, under center, lots of pre-snap motion, etc)?
Zeise
12:49
Who is Frank? And no I don’t think Ben will be able to help himself
Dr Seuss
12:49
The top OT and RB on Steelers board both fall to #24, what do they do?
Zeise
12:50
Tackle. And it is not close
D.O. Double G

A lot of national sports media are saying Bud Dupree is THE, or one of the, most overrated free agents in the NFL.  Agree?
Zeise
12:51
No I don’t agree but I understand what they are saying - if he goes to the wrong system he won’t be particularly effective. But he is a good player
Jacque Strap
12:52
Since we are in 'combine' season, which Pittsburgh media member has the fastest 40 time, and where do you fit into the mix?
Zeise
12:53
That’s easy - Dorin Dickerso
12:54
Dorin Dickerson ran the fastest time for any tight end in the history of the NFL combine. So it has to be him. When I was in college I was timed at 4.58
Sunner in Orlando
12:55
The Pens D looks pretty solid right now since we have some guys back from injury. Anyone likely to get traded? I say Marcus Pettersson would be the most likely candidate?
Zeise
12:55
Someone is going to have to go and I’ve seen all the hockey experts debate who it will be for the last month. So I’ll defer to I don’t know
Sunner in Orlando
12:56
The Pirate center field logjam is heating up. Who makes the cut and who stays? Too bad Polanco will choke the Bucs with his salary. In addition, he takes a spot that should go to one of the other outfielders like Fowler or Goodwin.
Zeise
12:57
It won’t shock me if at some point this season Dustin Fowler is the starting center fielder. He is the player with the highest upside and I think he will figure it out this year
Sunner in Orlando
12:57
Do the Bucs hang on to Frazier until the trade deadline or does some team make a good enough offer to swing the deal? He's probably their best and most consistent hitter.
Zeise
12:57
I think if someone offers them anything reasonable he will be sent packing. They have to find someone to do that, though
Bill Peduto's beard
12:58
PZ, what do you think the interest may be by the local professional tackle football team in Manny Sanders as a cheaper replacement for JJSS ?
Zeise
12:59
That’s the kind of lower priced veteran they will be looking for. And I do predict they will go get a receiver in free agency
Florida man
12:59
Will the Steelers re-sign Dupree?  Will they be able to afford him?
Zeise
12:59
No and no

I bet Amanda’s husband isn’t particularly happy to be stuck with her!
Zeise
1:00
She gets him to put down his IC Light every Friday to call the Nightly Sports Call and complain to Rich Walsh that he promotes drinking too much! They must be a fun couple to hang out with......or not.

PALONCO IS TRULY A BUST, TRUE GARBADGE, HE THINKS HES FOOLING PEOPLE, LAUGHING WHEN HES HORRIBLE. GOT PICKED OFF THIRD TWICE IN ONE YEAR! BIGGEST SLOB AND OINKER IN HISTORY!
Zeise

Wow, that’s a lot of anger coming from you. Take a deep breath. And tell us how you really feel next time
