Yep. Steelers at this point are $4.5 million over the cap. Once Randle El is gone (among others), the Steelers will have to pick a good yet inexpensive replacement. That\'s the name of the game these days.
The Rooneys know about losing streaks. Hell, they went through 40+ years of losing streaks before they won their first Superbowl. With Cowher getting to the playoffs more consistenly than other coaches, why fire him? Winning at the playoff level and the Superbowl level is tough as hell. The Rooneys appreciate success, even if not exactly winning the Superbowl.
The Rooneys enjoy the game for what it is.
I know what you are saying, but what I was saying is the fact that the Rooneys are one of the only owners that actually trust their staff to get there. The other organizations would jump ship in no time, look no further than Herman Edwards and the Jet\'s situation. Or hell, even the Colt\'s after the post season failure.
i never cared for randle el, he\'s a whiner
He\'s a hella player tho\'.

Man, I\'m glad it\'s not another team in the Steelers division. The Bengals and Ravens are going to be a huge factor next year. If the Browns pick up another talent, the Steelers might be in for a long ass beat down of a season.
Bengal\'s won\'t be a factor next year. Palmer will come back, he won\'t be a 100 percent and they won\'t repeat. I think you could see the melt down happening before the Kimo shot to Palmer. Infact, I will go as far as to say, that C. Johnson will hold them back with his antics and ego, just like whomever picks up T.Owens will be held back in the longterm.

It\'s looking like Randle El to The Bears is gonna happen.
I\'ll take him. We need someone to throw too besides Moose "droppings" Muhammed.
Heh, that\'s what they call him here... Moose Droppings.
funny!
You know who led the NFL in drops this year?
Yup.
Then you know who blamed the drops on the QB?
Yup.
Screw Moose.
It certainly wouldn\'t hurt for them to pick him up. At this point, they need to add to that offense, espically in the wide receiver department.
most of the free agents i can see sticking around. chance at another superbowl with a great team > slightly more money
Maybe and maybe not. It all depends on who jumps ship. If a few good players jump ship, the rest will be smart enough to know it\'s goin\' to be another long rebuilding season. Those free agents know that their stock went up after they won that Superbowl.
Oh and one final quote, I stole this one from an ESPN article about the Seahawk\'s rally at home...
"We won in our hearts," said Horgan, 15. "We\'re still No. 1."
That\'s all that matters, sweetie. In my heart, I\'m the queen of friggin\' England.
