He must be thrilled (not). At least will demand the bag and they will pay it so good for him. Steelers are done if you didn't think so already.

Talk about out of the fire and into the pan. Bears suck too.

Exactly. There should be a rule against this.

I don't think it's odd.
They need to give fields something to work with so he can grow. And they have an outside shot at being a bubble playoff team. They're in that unique category of teams where progress is a great goal and way more realistic than a championship. They're no longer tanking. And they can't throw fields out to the wolves every week. Even if they overpaid it makes sense to me |

I don't think trading away an aging asset like Quinn really matters. Gibson and Robinson are the long-haul and that's a good tandem.
Roquan Smith, I have to think the writing was on the wall that he didn't want to stay for a 2nd contract as he's playing on his 5th-year option. Better to get something higher than a 3rd round comp if you can, and they did. So, in the end, I'm not sure those are bad deals. |

They traded away two defensive players (won't stop fields from getting killed) who costed a lot of money.
They added a wr who can help their first round pick grow as an actual passer who costs almost no money. Their priority this year is to clean their cap and develop fields. In the process maybe try to compete. Makes sense to me. I don't see the point of spending huge dollars on defensive players if you're the bears right now. The bigger mistake was throwing fields to the wolves the way they did. |

Keep in mind they traded away two blue chip defensive players.
Their priority is to rebuild, save a ton of money, but not throw fields bloody body into a shark pit. This move checks all those boxes. It's a solid move. |
