I wonder if Peterson said it was a good idea to sign him. Hopefully it works out well.Steelafan77 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 5:11 amMost UDFA’s will not stay with their first team anyway.
Was little fanfare with this FA signing.

Steelers sign former Vikings cornerback Chandon Sullivan
Is it water under the bridge, though?Steelafan77 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 5:32 amMy take is they did their homework and waited for an opportunity to fill another hole on the defense.
Expectation is Sullivan will compete with Maulet for slot corner. Iron sharpening iron and all….
I also wanted to say I am liking this new Steelers approach with FA and Drafting. Exciting is an understatement.
I recall many discussions about why can’t the Steelers just trade out of one pick?
Go get a good player or trade back and pick up some draft capital?
Why can’t they go and get decent FA’s instead of picking off the trash heap?
All water under the bridge now…

DL - James Nyamwaya - Per Merrimack College
During his senior year Nyamwaya had 27 tackles, 6.5 tackles for a loss, and 5.5 sacks.
Posted this in another thread. I went to high school with Pottebaum's dad and I am a lifelong Hawkeyes fan. Great family, a very hard worker and the kid hits like a Mack truck. I hope he makes it!smithessmokin wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 2:12 pmOFFICIAL TEAM RELEASE:

Very cool, I posted in the Discord chat that I have a slight connection to Jordan Byrd. I know his high school trainer, he founded his own gym Athlete Ready; we were interns for a summer in Kansas City!

Clearly the Steelers didn’t read B2Bs list of directional staters
The cynic in me thinks Art 2 reduced the UDFA signing budget down to nothing after agreeing to expand the scouting department
Cheap old bastard
Step down already

It took unusually long for us to get our list done and the signings were not good. This is one area that seems to have regressed under Khan. Maybe Rooney was being cheap or maybe the staff just wasn't well prepared. However, when you have no picks in the 5th and 6th, it gives you HOURS to get your shit together on UDFAs and it seems they didn't.
I like this theory because it makes sense. Not that we suddenly just stopped trying or got lazy. I will add that there are only a few spots where a UDFA has a shot of making the team- 3rd QB- FB- CB after the haul this team got over the weekend the only thing I didn’t like is they didn’t look for an ILB late or as an UDFAMick wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 4:11 pmAs a more optimistic hypothesis on this crew of misfits,
Historically we’ve done a good job of scouting udfa’s and getting them to camp. But then come cut down time, we’ve been losing them all to other teams who just want to take whoever the steelers like. Last year we basically lost every single one of the UDFAs we targeted. Definition of insanity?
Maybe instead of spending a bunch of money just to announce to other teams which players we think will be good guys to have on practice squads, this year we will save that money until cut down time, and try to compete in the bidding war then, when it actually counts (and without other teams knowing who we like)?
question is, what are the odds that the UDFA you sign to compete ends up being better than any player that gets cut by any team at the end of august?VeritasSteel wrote: ↑Sun Apr 30, 2023 6:37 pmI like this theory because it makes sense.

And in general, our depth chart is just so much better than we’ve had in the past. So many of the backups we’ve been signing have been starters through their career, Herbig, Neal, two of those DTs. That CB we just signed has been an NFL starter the last three seasons, might be the NCB you are looking for, but appears to be our #5 CB right now if he can knock Maulet off. I love Trice, but he’s got quite the uphill battle here.
