The Eagles got aggressive and traded up for a guy who may help them reach their third Super Bowl in 5 years.
The Steelers froze while having the most picks in the draft, all while allowing the oldest player in the NFL dictate their offseason in hopes of winning a playoff game for the first time in 9 years.
It’d be funny if it weren’t so pathetic
Steelers had their guy and let their in-state rival snatch him from their grasp in front of their home fans tonight.
Sums up the state of the franchise. Too busy standing still while the best teams in the league leave them in the dust.
@jack_sperry Have they ever carried 4 QBs on the regular season roster? Idk how much sense it would make to take a QB unless Rodgers isn’t coming back or Rudolph is dealt somewhere
Anyone saying “this is what you guys wanted!!!!” is projecting lmao. We wanted a fresh direction when things went stale with the last guy. You’re mad we didn’t like the last guy.
Breaking: After a historic 19-season run in Pittsburgh, Mike Tomlin just informed his team that he is stepping down as the Steelers head coach, sources tell @JFowlerESPN and me.
The Steelers now will be looking for only their fourth head coach since 1969.
James Harrison on the Steelers:
“Since our last playoff win in 2016 we cannot even pick right on the 1st and 2nd rounders. We’ve made more misses than hits on our 1st and 2nd rounders. There’s only 2 players on our squad that got extended in that timeframe to a long term deal that’s TJ and Freiermuth and that’s all on Coach T.”

@deeboandjoe
This is not a knee-jerk reaction...
This is going on 9 years without a playoff win
This is 3 playoff wins in 13 years
This is another below-average offense
This is another underperforming defense
This is a lack of adjustments
This is a lack of aggressiveness
This is a defeated team
It's time to move on from Mike Tomlin. #Steelers
The thing I always think about when you see the Steelers is they do have some obvious personnel deficiencies (the secondary has limitations, WR room, QB play, etc.) BUT the coaching has enough talent to accentuate this group more.
They just don't. Consistently fall short.
@ByJoshCarney I get that but I’d like to think they are sold on at least 3 QBs for the first round right now considering they didn’t make a move at the deadline. And if they are going to start Rudolph, you might as well trade anyone of value because at that point you’re going to lose games
ESPN sources: Steelers star TJ Watt has become the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history for the second time in his illustrious career, reaching agreement today on a three-year, $123 million extension that includes $108M fully guaranteed at signing. The $41 million per year average is the highest of any non-quarterback in NFL history. The deal has been in the works between CAA Sports and the Steelers front office for months.
