I get that they helped the defense, but they are really hanging Jackson out
to dry. Look at the tools Mahomes has. Or Allen. Or Herbert. Or Burrow. The
people Lamar has around him just aren’t at that level, and they already ask
him to do so much… I’m not sure what they are this year offensively.

So they didn’t like **any** other receivers besides Austin? Nothing like
making it even harder for Lamar Jackson to have success in the passing game…

I’m not surprised by it, but I didn’t think they had the guts to do it.
There’s a lot that has to play out, he has to perform, he can get a good
contract that is cap friendly if he does well or the Steelers can get a
good compensatory pick if he does well and then leaves.
Or it becomes one of the worst draft day trades in team history (though
the knee injury in year 2 derailed everything)
One other note, lovely detail from Peter King today that the Steelers beat
the Ravens to Calvin Austin, who the Ravens coveted with one of their 4th
round picks.

I'm actually a little surprised by this. I know they can always try to
resign him if he has a good year, but if he has a good year, isn't it going
to cost more than the $10m he would get in the option year?
The flip side of course being that he has another bad year, then you're
stuck with an underperforming LB eating up $10m of your cap......

- Steelers decline the 5th year option on Devin Bush. Not a surprise, he’s
now playing Bon an expiring contract for his future.
- Justyn Ross signed with Kansas City
Full draft review for the Steelers and the other 31 teams will follow when
I’ve run out of tape to watch.
