If Poe can play the run at DE and get an inside rush on passing downs, that's something we don't have now. He can crumble the pocket from inside.

I think the Chiefs, Texans, Steelers will be in the running for Soliai.
I could see him going to pitt but they really look for a 1 tech. |

They are the kind of team that would draft Poe, rather than go after a free agent. They develop in house.

Steelers are over the cap and will lose their own FA, Texans probably won't even have the cap to resign several key FA including Mario Williams. Chiefs on the other hand have the most room than any team in the NFL $63 million Steelers GM Colbert sees 'serious' salary-cap problems NFL.com Wire Reports Published: Feb. 13, 2012 at 03:03 p.m. Updated: Feb. 14, 2012 at 11:20 p.m The Pittsburgh Steelers have many big roster decisions to make, but they won't happen soon. Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said Monday that the team probably won't make any moves until free agency begins March 13, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, allowing all eligible players to hit the open market. Colbert said the team has "serious issues" with the salary cap. As of Feb. 6, the Steelers were $22.5 million over the cap, according to NFL.com research. The team has restructured several contracts since then. "What our team will be at training camp? I don't know what it will be," Colbert said. Colbert also said the team hasn't yet made a decision about veteran wide receiver Hines Ward, who has two years and $8 million remaining on his contract, although there have been "internal discussions." Ward, 35, has publicly said he wants to play out the rest of his career in Pittsburgh despite his diminished role behind Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders. NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora cited sources in reporting last week that the Steelers are likely to cut Ward, who became the eighth player in NFL history to reach 1,000 career receptions. The Steelers' priority is keeping Wallace, who was just named to his first Pro Bowl after posting 71 receptions for 1,182 yards and eight touchdowns. Pittsburgh could use the franchise tag on Wallace, but Colbert said the team wants to lock up the receiver to a long-term contract. One of the players who will return, eventually, is running back Rashard Mendenhall. Colbert said Monday that Mendenhall likely will begin next season on the physically unable to perform list after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns. Even while expecting to be without Mendenhall, who had 228 carries for 928 yards and nine touchdowns last season, Colbert doesn't consider finding help at running back an offseason priority for the Steelers. He said Isaac Redman has "established himself as an NFL running back," according to the Post-Gazette, and mentioned rookies John Clay and Baron Batch and second-year pro Jonathan Dwyer as possibilities at the position.

Just thinking since Hampton went down they might look for quick help.

I think they're going to cut him, and draft a new one. Whoever they take will be solid gold. That's just what that organization does.

I still think this guy... Chapman... would be a pretty good fit for us with one of our day two picks (2nd or 3rd round). |

I don't really see him fitting the two gap system, but he could I guess. What do I know.

I think we actually have a pretty good chance to sign Soliai.
Shefter said it's about a 50 50 chance that Mike Wallace and Adrian Foster hit free agency. |

This cap business gives me a headache so I try to ignore it. Think the Chief's will get a deal done with Bowe, make a priority to sign Soliai and upgrade/fix the OL in the draft. Carr worries me.

the jets NT is really good. the chargers guy is maybe even better for what we need (some inside pass rush) if we can get garay and that enormous MLB from alabama i think our middle is considerably stronger vs pass and rush

Memphis' D-Line was a lone bright spot on an otherwise stupefyingly painful team to watch last year, in large part due to Poe's presence (Johnnie Farms and Frank Trotter are pretty gangster, too, but Poe was the clear stud). I have no idea how he compares to the rest of the candidates but I ****ing adore him and am glad he's getting much-deserved attention.
