sparky151 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 5 hours ago, BlackJesus said:  Staying put was the right call. The wrong call was in who they drafted (Murphy).  If they just took Sam Laporta instead, who they liked and wanted but felt was too high, then they look like geniuses. But they didn't trust their own scouting for some reason.  No, taking advantage of QB-needy teams would have been the right call. Assuming Murphy wasn't still on the board at 41, we could have instead had Dawand Jones, Darnell Washington, plus pick 38 in this draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkansas Bengal Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Stealers hit roadblock with signing Bengals FA WR Tyler Boyd Allison Koehler Sat, Mar 23, 2024 at 7:28 PM CDT·1 min read 2 At this point in free agency, the most coveted players are gone. The Pittsburgh Stealers may have had a plan when they traded Diontae Johnson, but weâve not yet seen it come to fruition. Thatâs not to say it wonât still happen if the play was to sign Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd but according to Stealers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo, the two sides arenât agreeing on money, so Pittsburgh is going to try to wait him out. Theyâre trying to wait out Tyler Boyd. Iâm not quite sure how thatâs going to end up going down here. I know that he wants to get paid more than theyâre offering him.  Boyd isnât the only free-agent receiver left on the market but his ties to Pittsburgh seem to make him the one the Stealers want the most. The Stealers have dedicated significant resources to scouting some of the top receivers in the 2024 NFL draft which we assume is Plan B if Boyd and Stealers canât reach an agreement prior to the draft.  https://sports.yahoo.com/Stealers-hit-roadblock-signing-bengals-002822875.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows the offense cold and has rapport with JB. But youâve got Chase, Tee, Andre, Irwin, Charlie JonesâĤ and potentially a draftee. Thatâs already crowded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 He probably wants 7 or 8 mil per year on a deal that runs for 3 or 4 years. He was making 10 mil last year so he's hesitant to take a big paycut if they are only offering 5 mil for one year or something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBR Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 I don't think they care about him having been on the Bengals. I think they've had second thoughts because he likely wants $10+mil and his role on their team wouldn't justify it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I remember the one long pass when he hesitated at the end of the route and that was disappointing. But remember, TB didnât knock it out of the park starting outâĤ really, his third year was when he broke outâĤ and the crew that he was part of wasnât as good with Jerome Simpson et al as the one Jones was brought into.  No doubt he needs to improve but Iâm not ready to say he canât play, and be a solid contributor. But yeah, obviously this fall will be big for him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
