Dead cap hit drops dramatically after 2022. Build a strong defense while you are on a low QB contract.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

wow..

 

[SteelerSask2]

Incapable of coaching anyone up. I guess it's all you can do.

 

[Steelersreign]

The game announcers just confirmed the trade.

It's all over the net.

You should have a probowl level guy at one ILB you have an all pro guy at outside LB. Maybe if everyone is a probowl worthy They will be good.

You ***** when they do something good. You are the yin to my yang on outlook. Always seems you are glass half empty.

McFarland is just a guy.

I would have preferred Avery Williamson at ILB cheap and spend money on a CB. We’re gonna get toasted i’m afraid.

Avery barely got playing time last year....

I heard Jville eating some of it.

Avery is strictly a run stopper and terrible in coverage. Schobert can do both and is just an all around solid ILB. Good at creating turnovers as well.

He could very well be the Steelers best ILber in coverage. A clear upgrade. Very interested in what they gave up.

He is a good runstopper at ilb… I don’t think we need more of that… i like him but he is basically spillane

I don't think it's much of a stretch to call him the Steelers best ILB straight up at this point.

 

[LeXX75]

Spillane has not been able to cover himself tonight

 

[Chicoman]

This is a good trade because as I watch last week and this week's pre-season game there is something wrong with Robert Spillane. He is not 100%.

 

[slashsteel]

I wonder who it pushes off the roster. Allen perhaps...

 

[LeXX75]

2-3 yards behind every TE he has tried to cover..even the Eagles 4th TE
