Levi Brown headed to Steelers?

[GuernseyCard]

That's correct. Levi wasn't going to be on the team next season with a $7.6 mil cap figure.

And even if we only upgrade, let's say, a 7th to a 6th, and get marginal cap relief this season, this is still a good deal, IMO. It rids of an underachieving, reportedly lazy player, who has been playing house money on this roster for quite some time and has drawn the ire of many fans and the new coaching staff. Should an upgrade have been pursued in the offseason? Of course. Will one be pursued the following season? Absolutely.

Anyone who felt Levi had any value on the open market either has never watched him play or is completely naive. Keim did the best he could do given the circumstances, and quite frankly, I thought it was a joke when I first heard someone was willing to take him.

If I read correctly, the CAP relief in 2013 in some $3M.

Let's see how that is used in terms of in-season extensions, and judge that as part of the deal.

That's not true. In the Levi Brown draft, we had one self-created, glaring black hole at a starting position that needed to be filled with a first round pick.

In the 2014 draft, we will have several self-created, glaring black holes at starting positions that could be filled with the best available player with our first round pick. So far:

LT
QB
TE
Rush linebacker

And who knows what the future will bring! Maybe defensive end, maybe nose tackle, maybe safety? The world is full of surprises.

this whole situation is just looking worse and worse. like freaking amateur hour. so, we now likely have terrible LT play, regardless of who is on the team AND we've hurt ourselves capwise next year to try and shore up that position with this trade?

You're showing your age now. I remember that show from my childhood. I was a very, very young lad back then.

As oppossed to the trucking of Tweeter rumours on this site.... Ok.

sometimes that's more reliable, as is the case in this situation. .

Twitter told us about the pick going to Pitt before the Cardinals did.
