Saunders: Lets Slow Down Darnell Washington to Tackle Talk Steelers Now columnist Alan Saunders says let's slow down talk about moving tight end Darnell Washington to tackle.

We need to slow down on the Darnell Washington to tackle talk.

Is he big enough to do it? Sure. Would he be good there right now? No.

Could he learn? Probably -- but there's no good reason for the #Steelers to want that.

Bryan Rust against the Sharks. It definitely stood out as a softer-than-usual call.

The overall play is he followed the puck to the front of the net and made very minor contact with the head of the goaltender, a play that is basically never called a penalty.

There’s almost no chance that tap, and not the shot that broke his mask earlier in the game, was the main cause of his concussion. That level of contact with a goalie happens almost every game. When I saw the outrage I couldn’t believe that was the play everyone was talking about.

I am all for a Matt Cooke-style, OK throw the book at him this time when someone with that reputation does something heinous, but I don’t even think that should’ve been a penalty, let alone a suspension. He barely touched him.

Dan Moore Payday: Steelers Left Tackle Gets Massive Free Agent Contract
steelersnow.com/dan-moore-pa...

CB Carlton Davis goes to the Patriots on a three-year, $60m deal per Tom Pelissero.

#Steelers OT Dan Moore Jr. has agreed to a four-year, $82m contract with the Tennessee Titans, with $50m guaranteed, per Adam Schefter.

Milton Williams also off the board, headed to Carolina per Schefter.

CB Paulson Adebo off the board for the #Steelers, headed to the Giants per Dianna Russini.

CB Jourdan Lewis to the Cowboys per Rap Sheet.

The #Steelers are in significant talks with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, per team and league source, and a deal could be reached shortly.

And another DT Javon Kinklaw to the Commanders, per Adam Schefter.

A couple of potential #Steelers free agent tarkets off the board:

RB Elijah Mitchell goes from SF to KC on a one-year deal.

DT B.J. Hill re-signs with the #Bengals on a three-year deal.

An under-discussed point of last night's DK Metcalf trade: By trading for Metcalf instead of signing a free agent, the Steelers will likely be able to retain a significant compensatory draft pick slot from Dan Moore & Najee Harris.

Market Expected to Be ‘Red Hot’ for #Steelers Free Agent Tackle

steelersnow.com/market-expec...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed wide receiver Chris Godwin, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

A three-year deal worth $66m and $44m guaranteed.

The top free agent WR off the market.

Yes. Also Larry Ogunjobi failed a physical with the Bears before signing with the Steelers.

I think the Steelers management that drafted him (i.e. MT and Rooney) would have preffered to keep him. But it wasn't going to work with the locker room wanting him out.

Teams can contact agents, but they can't talk to players directly, unless the player represents themselves.

Players that have been released, instead of having their contract expire, can be contacted, visited and sign immediately.

Some reminders:

It's a contact period, not legal tampering. Legal tampering is an oxymoron.

Deals can be agreed to starting at noon, but cannot be official until Wednesday at 4 p.m. Players and teams have changed their minds in the past.

Will Steelers Double Dip at WR? Asking Price High for Top FA Target Will the Pittsburgh Steelers double dip at wide receiver with a free agent? The asking price could be high for Giants WR Darius Slayton.

Will #Steelers Double Dip at WR? Asking Price High for Top FA Target

LOL "backstabbed." Pitt fans are so dramatic at Pickett.

He's gone because he handled himself poorly and lost the faith of the coaching staff and the locker room.

Nobody promised Russ anything. He was just the better player, Pickett saw the writing on the wall, and found an exit.
