WR Trade Market/CAIII

bermudasteel said:
Methinks a trade for a WR would have to happen today in order to utilize said player this week. So, I doubt anything happens.

I guess we'll see a bit more of Roman, Scotty and Thor... the problem, IMO, these guys don't scare anyone in the Browns secondary.

I have a “gut” feeling we aren’t going to see a trade of any kind. I think they feel they will roll with what we’ve got.

Stubborn may be the word.

I kind of agree, but, Olave has too many concussions to make me feel comfortable paying nearly 15 million for the rental. We already have Muth on the roster w/ the same concerns and you see how little he's been involved each week...

Olave’s medical would stop my pursuit.

First of all your reading and comprehension is a little off. I was using Lamb and Evans as examples of #1s who are now out, but have solid#2s behind them. Olave would be the solid number #2 if he were here. I didnt bother to really read what else you had to say because you lost me at saying he wasnt in the same category as Lamb and Evans which I never stated nor implied he was. Furthermore im fine with him being what Diontae Johnson was because Diontae Johnson moved the first down chains at least. So a Diontae Johnson with better hands, less attitude, and a team leader is fine with me. Give him a helmet designed to reduce brain injuries and top it off with a guardian cap, but dont just disregard him as an option. Steelers aren't really in a position to do that.

do despite your tossed word salad, you'd be comfortable paying a guy $15 mil to sit at 3rd option, at best, in the passing game - who's one hit away from his career being ended and when that happens we've severely ****** our cap. brilliance. just absolute brilliance.

He would be a third option behind who?? You must have missed another post where I said you could make a large part of his salary incentive and performance based. You could start him out at 10-12 mil and he can make it to 15 through incentives. If he fulfills those incentives grabbing a solid #2 who has high performance at 15 mil is a steal.

The bigger question is....where is this 15 million number coming from??? You keep talking about 15 million. Is this a number you came up with and why??

That's a pretty absurd assumption that his agent would agree to an incentive laden contract. Players want guarantees because, as Supe noted, he is one hit away from being done, done.

Beat me to it. Olaive may be concussion accessible, but he isn’t stupid yet.

Neither is his agent

Im still trying to figure out where this 15 million dollar number is coming from?? Even if he was to be paid 15 million its not beyond reason for the Saints to pay part of the salary.

if you're going to spout nonsense, at least have the common sense to do some quick research on the subject.

“Olave has a year left on his contract after the Saints picked up his option for 2026,” Sigler wrote on Friday, “so any team trading for him would be on the hook for his $15.5 million salary cap hit next season. He’s going to be seeking a multiyear contract extension worth twice that. Trading him now would give his new team time to see how he performs in their offense and decide whether to extend him.”

my apologies. NOT $15 mil.

$15.5 mil

as to your absurd question of who he'd be third behind in the passing game (at best, 3rd)...

1. DK Metcalf
2. Jonnu Smith
3. Kenneth Gainwell
4. Jaylen Warren
5. Chris Olave (this is currently where CA3 is, btw)

proof? evidence? none other than steelers stats themselves.

1759846212078.png

for ***** and giggles...and leaving DK out of this...

Jonnu Smith
Jonnu Smith signed a 1 year, $12,010,000 contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, including $7,745,000 signing bonus, $7,745,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $12,010,000. In 2025, Smith will earn a base salary of $1,255,000 and a signing bonus of $7,745,000, while carrying a cap hit of $5,127,500 and a dead cap value of $7,745,000.

Kenneth Gainwell
Kenneth Gainwell signed a 1 year, $1,790,000 contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, including $620,000 signing bonus, $620,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,790,000. In 2025, Gainwell will earn a base salary of $1,170,000, a signing bonus of $620,000 and a workout bonus of $8,820, while carrying a cap hit of $1,798,820 and a dead cap value of $628,820.

Jaylen Warren
Jaylen Warren signed a 2 year, $11,904,000 contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, including $5,950,000 signing bonus, $7,050,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $5,952,000. In 2025, Warren will earn a base salary of $1,100,000, a signing bonus of $5,950,000 and a workout bonus of $8,820, while carrying a cap hit of $3,092,153 and a dead cap value of $7,058,820.

so, Jenyus EinsteinNoKap wants to insert Chris Olave's $15 mil at 2nd option (LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL) whereas we're getting some goddamned good production out of three guys for approximately the same money.

btw - Olave's stats...
33 Receptions
244 yards
7.4 ypc
1 TD

holygoddamnedshit. that's some serious production for a guy hauling in $15mil.

now that I've dropped you off at school with everything relevant to Olave, tell your mom to massage my balls when she brings my coffee.

Other than DK I dont see him getting less targets then anyone else if he were to come here...but since you got it all figured out if DK goes down then what?? Who's a #2 out there that you would go after otherwise???
 
now that the trash is on the curb...

I've seen one rumor/suggestion we trade for Xavier Legette. This would be interesting.

first off, Legette is a humble dude. Country af.
secondly, he is talented. Was he first round talented? I saw him in the SEC and while he was good, he wasn't a first round talent, IMO.
third - and maybe most important - the cost.


The best part about a potential trade is that it could come at a low cost. Because Legette is already being fizzled out of the picture on offense, the Steelers might be able to acquire the talented receiver at the cost of a Day 3 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft (of which the Steelers have plenty). Legette could boot Scotty Miller—who has zero catches—off the roster and attempt to climb the depth chart by the second half of the season.

Xavier Legette might not be the answer the Pittsburgh Steelers need at wide receiver, but he's a low-cost trade option with tools and youth on his side. Omar Khan could take a swing at this reclamation project and see how it goes.

If we made that trade - huge IF, and I don't see it happening - Legette would need to clean up his route running before Aaaaaaaaaron was comfortable throwing to him.

let me type this as slowly as I can.

Trade for Olave.

DK goes down.
First toss to Olave - concussed.

Where's your salary cap now?

pFucked with Olave

We're supposed to be talking about getting a suitable #2 who can keep the train rolling if DK goes down and your best suggestion is Xavier Leggete who according to someone could be a "reclamation project"??

You just acknowledged that the guy was being fizzled out of the current offense that he's in. That means hes not talented enough to even get unto the field in most cases, but you want to bring him in as a #2??

That's what we've been talking about this whole time genius...or were you not paying attention to the purpose of the thread?? Even if we were talking about just replacing CAIII for a spell out of your own rabid brain you admitted until the guy learns route running AAron would never throw to him so why bring him up??

Who's a good #2 option to trade for??

Other People: Tyreek Hill, Calvin Ridley, Chris Olave, Terry McLaurin

Superman: Xavier Legette...a reclamation project who is being fizzled out of his own current offense who is below average at route running.

Bring in Jacobi Meyers - Raiders would only take a 4.24M dead cap hit, Steelers would give a 2026 3rd rounder and absorb his base salary of 10.5M plus bonuses, restructure that over multiple years and the Steelers are golden like corral.
 
I thought maybe they would do something now, with the bye, but I wonder if they want to see yet what they are. If they are 5-1 after the Bengals, maybe a move then with the longer week?

But it's more probable it's what a few of you have said, they aren't gonna much of anything.

I provided some insight on Roman's 'game time' expectations. He is not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to the depth of the playbook and he can handle 2 or 3 plays, at once, a QB like A A Ron, who will change the play, at a whim, may not choose one of those three plays he knows and it has kept him off the field...
Click to expand...
I missed that. If so, I guess they will keep him even next year but he may not see anything past his rookie contract and they could cut him next year.

This team looks much more effective with a 6th OL and Washington on the field than the two massively overpaid square pegs Muth and Smith.

It’s still early,but for the life of me I just don’t get why they throw the 1-3 yard passes to Smith and expect him to romp down the field. I would line him up all over the place and send him down 10+ yards. I think they are massively underusing his talents. It’s not like they are even using Pat or Jonnu.

Jonnu 14-16-71 yards.
Pat. 7-10-65 yards.

Might as well put Roman’s in as well. A big 1 reception on 2 whole targets for a whopping 7 yards.

I have no idea whatsoever how anyone can judge Wilson on 2 targets. The guy can’t even get in the flow of the game.
Throw the ball to him 10 times…let’s see what he’s capable of.
Open Jonnu up….let’s let him do what he does best. The guy had just shy of 900 yards last season.
Like I’ve been saying for 6 years now. Throw that ******* ball down the field.
 
if what Bermuda said is true, and i don't doubt what Bermuda says, as he'll willingly converse with any one from a mental elite like me to a simple one-cell Ogurr, then a trade may need to happen.

and while every Tom, Harry and NoKap is looking at Chris Olave... look on the other side of the field at Rashid Shaheed.

kinda perfect for us as he's got #1 upside, but is best at 2.
6'0", 180.

free agent after this season. and we've already hashed the Saints salary cap.

1759861200625.png

could be a very easy trade to make.
