Steelers and veteran WR have mutual interest in a deal

Quote:

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made some huge moves early in free agency. Their signing of linebacker Patrick Queen was a historic one, as it was the largest free agent deal the team has ever handed out. Queen was a big signing as he fills a major need on the Steelers’ defense. They have been desperately trying to find a replacement for Ryan Shazier since his career-ending injury and have yet to fill the void successfully. There is optimism that Queen can get the job done. Arguably the best part of his acquisition is that it directly weakens one of their rivals. Queen spent the first four seasons of his career with the Baltimore Ravens before coming over to Pittsburgh. Could he soon be joined by another former rival? According to Wesley Cohen on X, there is mutual interest between the Steelers and free agent wide receiver, Tyler Boyd. Boyd was a second-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals but is a local kid who played collegiately at Pittsburgh.

As Steelerfan mentioned by the end of the year we had Myles Jack out there, I'll take the chance. Steelers love scheming LBs to shadow slot WR or decent tight ends over the middle of the field.

Apparently they can choose to take the higher cap hit this season. I haven't heard what they chose but it would make sense to take the bigger hit this season

Yeah Queen is pretty good in coverage. And its a friendly deal to the Steelers. They can basically move on from him after next year which surprised me a bit.

Ravens fans have seen this before with Ray Lewis. Ray made every LB we lined up next to him look better and I suspect the same thing was going on with Roquan and Patrick, which is why Houston scoffed at Queen wanting over $10 mil a year.

But they way its structured, its a great signing for Pitt

Mason Rudolph, Titans agree to one-year deal

Quote:

Quarterback Mason Rudolph will not be returning to Pittsburgh for 2024. Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Rudolph has agreed to a one-year deal with the Titans worth up to $3.62 million. Rudolph, 28, had been with the Steelers since the club selected him in the third round of the 2018 draft. He took over as the team’s starter late in the 2023 season after Kenny Pickett had suffered an ankle injury and Mitch Trubisky proved ineffective. Pittsburgh won its last three games of the regular season went Rudolph at QB, earning a playoff berth as the No. 7 seed. But it was a short run, as the Steelers lost to the Bills in the wild card round. Rudolph completed 55-of-74 passes for 719 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions during the 2023 regular season. He finished his first postseason start 22-of-39 for 229 yards with two touchdowns and one pick. While Rudolph started eight games in 2019 when Ben Roethlisberger was sidelined by an elbow injury, it took until 2023 for him to start multiple games in a season again. He started one game in 2020 and another in 2021 before serving as Pittsburgh’s third QB in 2022. In 21 career games with 13 starts, Rudolph has completed 63.5 percent of his passes for 3,085 yards with 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He’s compiled an 8-4-1 record as a starter. Now headed to Tennessee, Rudolph is expected to serve as the backup to rising second-year quarterback Will Levis. The Titans also currently have 2022 third-round pick Malik Willis on their roster.

Is Cousins even going to be healthy Week 1?
