Anybody see us grabbing Jacoby Jones as our return guy? And backup to backup reciever. Gee we might have to cut our other return guy,and backup to backup running back. Only if he was cheap of course.

As all the updates kept coming in about restructures I was wondering the same thing. Does anyone think that with the lack of production with our OLB's a push for Houston could be coming? Also what does everyone think about spending most of our money on him, yeah we fix the OLB problem but would we have money left for our other needs?
Stop. Just ******* stop. Houston will get the franchise tag from the Chiefs. If not, he will probably become the highest paid defensive player in NFL history. He is not going to sign with the Steelers nor have the Steelers spent 1 ******* second thinking that it's a possibility.

Seems to me that they have an FA target in mind and know about what it will take to sign him. That target may be Worilds. I'd bet my acquaintance with Supe that it ain't Houston.

Miami will pay the price for the stupidity of that absurd contract. Doubt any other team will absorb that. Wallace thrived off of Ben's arm, along with AB, Sanders and Miller attracting attention on the underneath routes. Unlike a Megatron or Fitzgerald type, he has to play in an environment where he has a perfect surrounding cast making him not worth the price the Dolphins payed him.
if there is a god in heaven, then it will be Houston.
please.
Ngata is reportedly going to be available ... commence the egg throwing 
Hearing Ngata may get released from the Rats if they can't restructure his deal. Interesting developments out there. Our losses are minimal at best should we cut Moore & Cam Thomas. Addition by subtraction. Question, do we get a comp pick for Worilds if he signs elsewhere?
Depends on a lot of factors including who we bring in at what price, playing time etc.

Wow, so are the Rats in cap trouble because of the Flacco contract?, his cap hit is 25 Mil or something?
Yes. Worlids is a FA, so there are comp possibilities. Could be moot if we sign higher caliber FAs ourselves.
Didn't know if Worilds qualified for comp pick next year because he signed the transition tag last year. Understand that the comp picks are based off who we lose v who we sign and the $$, etc.
I would like for the Steelers to look at Jacoby Jones, if nothing else than as a kick returner. Outside of AB, our returners blew. Jones would be a decent receiver if needed, as well.
It has nothing to do with last year. He is currently a FA, so there is comp consideration.
Last year, under the Trans tag, if he signed with anyone else, we'd get nothing, but we'd have the right to match the contract to retain him.
**** that, we've got Dri.

The contract is an albatross, no doubt. Wallace made out like a bandit- Good for him.
But maybe Wallace hasn't looked all that great because- Ryan Tannehill is a sucky QB? Has that crossed your mind?
Cut Moore and bring in Jones? At least we know he knows how to dance down the sideline during returns. Would be interesting if they did that. It would raise the Archer thread from the ashes. Like the Falcons did with Hester, I think its valuable to have a good return guy and Jones is definitely a good return guy. Plus it takes AB off punt return duty.
Tate is a free agent. Helu is who I am rooting for FA rb signing.
Do you want to see grown men cry with jubilation??? If that were to happen - TRUST AND BELIEVE - many of us will shed tears of joy!!!
While TAS sits in a corner mad at the world because Coach Tomlin and the FO succeeded during free agency...

Wallace doesn't make Tannehill any better for sure, like a Megatron does for Stafford for example.
The Chiefs need to re-sign Houston and drafted Dee Ford recently. They need to save $$$. If they cut Tamba Hali loose he could be a nice, cheaper option than Worlds.

Taking AB off the return duty is really needed. It's a shame he is so good at it, but we need him healthy on offense. Jones proved he still has the speed to take a few back a year. Moore wants released to play more. I'd be happy to cut ties with him. Free up that money, too.

Not sure I want to bring in a 31 year old and then ask him to switch sides. He would be a short term solution at best.
He wasn't too bad from the few games I watched, ark. I think Jones is better, but who knows if they go after any returner with the multiple other areas of need.
