Can we just assume that Justin Layne is done?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:45
You ca assume he's on the roster for special teams and that's about it.

Who do you like as fit for us at wr between Cole beasley, aj green, watkins, jarvis landry or another vet
Ray Fittipaldo
2:46
Beasley would be good, but he comes with some baggage from last season. Landry would be fine, but I think he'd cost too much.
MG

Basically I think the Steelers can't go wrong if their first round strategy is Best Available Defensive Player from Georgia. Agree?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:47
That might be a great plan!
Hersh M
2:47
Do you think Chuks was overpaid
Ray Fittipaldo
2:47
I guess it's the going rate for a starting right tackle, but it does feel like they overpaid, yes.

JuJu's mother noted her sadness in the Steelers no longer having interest in keeping him this year. I would have thought otherwise given the lack of talent they have at WR. Were they really not interested in bringing him back? Seems true giving how little he got from KC.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:48
I just think they want some new talent in the WR room. Tomlin was upset about how the entire group performed last season. They need some new blood in that room.
Hersh M
2:48
Is our starting lineup from left to right on OL the following? Moore-Daniels-Cole-Doston-Chuks?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:49
If they had to play a game right now, probably. And the guard could be flip-flopped.

Is there any possibility Dwayne Haskins wins the quarterback competition? I think he has the best arm of the three
Ray Fittipaldo
2:49
Highly doubt it.
Hersh M
2:50
But they improved their OL so they should be a juggernaut now
Ray Fittipaldo
2:50
Well, let's see how they perform as they hunted.
2:51
Don't get me wrong. I think the Bengals are going to be good, but let's not crown their ass (Dennis Green voice)

I say sign B Mayfield and let each QB play a quarter.  Start a new trend in the NFL.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:52
Just institute the messenger quarterback. A new signal caller every play!
Mike-EE
2:52
Other than Ryan Tannenbaum, have you ever heard of a high first round quarterback getting a second life on a new team?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:52
Jim Plunkett.
Hersh M

Why is there so much hype around Mason Cole? Isnt he a backup level player
Ray Fittipaldo
2:53
Not sure there is a lot of hype around him. I think the assumption is he'll start based on the contract he signed. He signed for more than $15 million over three years. That's great money if he turns out to be a backup.

whats the deal with Ebron?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:54
He's a free agent coming off an ACL.

Hi Ray. It's been an ongoing discussion on Steeler chats. What's your opinion on the Steelers not signing a Strong Safety at this point?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:54
Maybe they're waiting to see what happens with Edmunds.
Mike-EE
2:55
Your thoughts on Deshaun Watson going to the Browns? Will it be great or a huge disappointment and distraction?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:56
There will be some bad PR the organization has to handle, but on the field he's a good player. We don't know how long he'll be suspended. And the cap hits from 2023 though 26 are astronomical. So they better win soon. It's going to be hard to keep a competitive team around him.

2:56
A reporter in Cleveland says Pittsburgh would snap up Mayfield if he is cut by Browns. If true, would he be Steelers starter?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:56
Nonsense.
Jacob
2:57
They're always appreciated. Why so many two year deals? For someone like Mitch, I get it. They may only need him for that long if we get a QB in the draft, but for just about everyone else we've signed, it's been to two year contracts. Why?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:57
I think a lot of these guys are still in prove-it mode. Why commit to a long-term deal when a guy has never been in your building?
SteelByDesign
2:58
If this team drafts a QB do you think they'll try and trade Mason?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:58
Depends if he wants to be traded.
On The Road
2:58
The four QB system.  Who would be your "closer?"
Ray Fittipaldo
2:58
Whoever throws the hardest. I got Haskins.
Vegas Steeler

Hi Ray, with the change in QB and the higher than usual amount in cap space for free agency, how has reporting on the offseason been this year for you compared to the past years? I imagine some extra excitement or something but I assume us fans can get you all worked up anyways.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:59
They've certainly been more active, but I know I predicted they would be. With so many holes on their roster they had to sign some guys.
Jacob

Taking the big name & the fun thoughts of a potential playmaker, scheme-wise, does it make sense to sign Honey Badger?
