Personally, I think Brandon Aiyuk has played this perfectly. He used the Browns and Patriots to confirm his market value, and he found a viable new home in Pittsburgh, whose offer isn't quite good enough for the 49ers.
Now he just sits and waits until the 49ers give him what he

As much as I joke about AB, I absolutely agree that he is one of the greatest WRs in Steelers history and maybe in the NFL.
But a 1 day contract to retire with his former team is a privilege and honor that he no longer deserves based on the way he has behaved.

It's clear the Steelers made a mistake letting Mike Hilton leave in free agency but I would argue that missing AluAlu and Tuitt up front is the bigger issue and one the Steelers haven't had an answer for.

Don't get distracted by shiny things. It's very simple:
The Steelers should not draft a QB in the first round if he isn't definitely going to be better than Mitch Trubisky.

So if Tom Brady does wind up retiring, Ben Roethlisberger won the final round. Only one QB controlled his narrative and broke the news himself in the way he wanted to.

When Ben Roethlisberger went on IR, I think a lot of Steelers fans lowered their expectations. That doesn't mean we can't enjoy the season and what this incredible defense is accomplishing. Every win counts. Style points don't win a Superbowl (the

What if -- and I'm just spitballing here -- TJ Watt and the Steelers are really close to finalizing his contract extension and he and his agent don't want him to risk injury until the ink is dry and Tomlin is ok with that which is why TJ isn't participating in team drills?

Highsmith worked all off-season and training camp to earn his role as a starter.

If the Steelers and Bills situations were reversed (Steelers on a roll with a fantastic team/record, favored to win by 2 TDs), Steelers fans would be preparing themselves for a hideous let-down game.

This is a bit of an exaggeration. Every time a Steelers player was asked, they said what a great teammate and locker room presence

Here’s one thing I gotta say. There was a lot of talk before we signed Le’Veon about what kind of guy he was. The media painted him out to be a horrible person, bad teammate, lazy player, but I can’t tell you enough how first class of a teammate he’s been. Real one!

This is so silly. NO ONE in Pittsburgh doubted Bell's talent or what he contributed to the team. The Steelers didn't want to pay him a WR salary (what he wanted), so he left as a free agent. Oh by the way, the Jets paid him as an RB.
