Justin Houston released (Steelers may be negotiating with him)

It would be nice, but unfortunately isn't today the day we are officially locked into allowing Dupree to steal 9 million dollars?
 
I 'm calling this one....We will bring him in

LAW OF ATTRACTION BABY
 
Why the **** did they not give up a sixth or shity considerations. Take on Houstons base salary and cut Buds 9million. **** is that dumb.
 
Get'er done Steelers !

Because his base salary for 2019 was more than $15 million.

"Chiefs are releasing four-time Pro-Bowl LB Justin Houston, per source. They had tried to trade him, but no one willing to pick up the $15.25 million base salary that was due this season."

Justin Houston sighting....

According to Garry Booker, Pitt and Houston are finalizing a deal after restructures or roster changes are completed by Pitt.

I won't hold my breath......as I don't know if this blogger has clout.
 
I just assumed he would be out of our price range

Probably mean Burnett is released and Bud is either restructured/extended or released. Add Ben's extension....

I dunno, but he'd instantly help our pass rush, why would they even consider Bud if we can get this guy?

Because Bud would be a nice rotational option compared to Chick....
 
If they were to get Houston. could Bud make the switch to Inside, i'm not sure if he could or not.
 
Adding Nelson as a CB and Houston as an edge rusher to replace Dupree would improve the defense quite a bit. Then draft Devin Bush to play ILB, a guy who has elite speed and can upgrade RB and TE coverage instantly. (Please, Butler, do not have an ILB cover a team's X receiver. Or Y receiver. Or any wide receiver except short middle zone. That is all.)

Pick a S, RB, CB and WR in rounds 2-4* and the team is now rebuilt for 2019.

* My approach - not that anybody cares - would be: Taylor Rapp (S) round 2, Trayvon Mullen (CB) with 1st pick round 3, Northern Arizona WR Emmanuel Butler later round 3 pick, RB Alex Barnes round 4.

Defense massively upgraded with Houston, Bush, Nelson, Rapp, Mullen. WR position addressed with Butler and Moncrief. RB position now 3-deep with Conner, Samuels, Barnes.
 
Getting too excited damn it , Steelers always disappoint me in free agency, gotta keep low expectations. Though Maybe this is the year...

It may be. Team has a lot of needs going into the draft, and they will have a ton of cap room in 2020. If they can finagle a few deals to get under the cap in 2019, then they will have no cap concerns 2020.
