No. 74 Casey Sayles has looked pretty good among the young guys. He might have a shot to make the roster or practice squad.

Hi, are the Dez Bryant rumors real or are they just that rumors? How did mcdonald got injured and how serious is?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:21
What rumors? Antonio Brown tweeted something, but that was it. They won't be signing him.
Alex
2:22
I feel like everyone has forgotten about Brian Allen... how has been doing so far?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:22
So-so

They say they won’t do it, but NE is definitely in their heads...how do you best deal with as an organization?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:22
Simple. Win the game in December at Heinz Field.

I’m all in for the Steelers getting Dez Bryant. Apparently, AB wants him as well. What kind of development needs to happen in order to get him to come to Pittsburgh?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:23
The front office could all get lobotomies.

With Edmunds getting 1st team reps and he seems to be taking advantage of it... It is going to be hard to give those reps back once the "starter" is healthy?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:24
I don't think so. They signed Burnett for a reason. They want his veteran leadership and his communication not to mention his tackling ability. He's going to play.

How has Conner looked on the first team? I read he had slimmed down for camp after it was claimed he wasn’t in shape last year.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:24
Conner has been fine.
Tim Worley
2:24
Thoughts on Marcus Tucker so far?  Does he have a chance to beat out Eli?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:25
I'm not sure when Eli Rogers will be activated from the PUP list. As long as he's on there Tucker has to take advantage of his reps. Rogers has experience in the league so Tucker must prove he's better because if it's close they'll just go with the guy they know about.

The Steelers placed the Franchise Tag on Max Starks when he didn’t even have a clear place on the offensive line (though he ended up taking over LT for Marvel Smith and they won SB#6). Do you wish they did the same thing this year and paid Chris Hubbard instead of letting him hit free agency and leave?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:26
Why hold a guy back when he can be a starter? Hubbard wasn't going to start here.
And he wasn't going to get a $35 million contract here.
Scott Shields
2:26
What is Ola Adeniyi's injury?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:27
He landed on his head after being thrown to the ground by Okorafor.
Mark

Ray, do you think the Steelers can please AB and fit Dez Bryant in under the cap?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:27
Why would they want to?
Willie Reid
2:27
Who will be the primary punt returner this year?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:27
Good question. Quadree Henderson has been taking reps. Others too.
Chuck in D.C.

Ray... If we make it through this chat without a single LeVeon Bell question... I will take you to dinner when I'm in town next...
Ray Fittipaldo
2:28
You're on.

Ray: How would you rank each of these in terms of likelihood this season? JuJu 75 catches, TJ 10 sacks, Artie Burns 5 picks?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:28
In order of likelihood:
1. Watt 2. JuJu 3. Burns

re: Bells contract demands, I understand it seems greedy on the one point, however, AB makes 17m and Ben 20m.  Y not get all three together and say, hey lets all make 17 mil and win some championships.  I think AB and Ben should step to Bell and make it happen...YOur thoughts
Ray Fittipaldo
2:29
It doesn't work that way. The only QB I know who gives a hometown discount is Tom Brady. The rest want to get paid.
Chris in Washington
2:30
Is Jaylen Samuels showing anything yet? I read a lot about his versatility after the draft and was curious if he was getting chance to show that with Bell out.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:30
He's doing well except for the backs on backers drill. He got embarrassed in that drill. Tomlin made him go five times in a row.
Jack
2:30
Ray,  Watt and Dupree still switching sides?  Thanks.
Ray Fittipaldo
2:30
So far. yes.
Tony in largo
2:30
Do you think their is any chance the Steelers rescind the tag on Bell  if Conner and Samuel show major promise in preseason?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:30
No.
Chris in Washington
2:31
Has Justin Hunter shown anything in camp to maybe see the field a bit more this year?
Ray Fittipaldo
2:31
Ed is writing about him today. Check out his story later on this afternoon.

Why so dismissive on Dez? we have a second year player more suitable in the slot and a rookie not to mention a player coming off an acl injury....what are they going to do quadruple AB?
