Devante Adams?

I'd like to know what you all think - I'm sure you've heard the rumours of the Steelers possibly being in the conversation to trade for him.

My opinion? I'm not sure I really want him. I think we dodged a bullet with the Aiyuk trade falling through - and I don't know, I think Devante has Diva written all over him as well. I think just maybe, one of the other receivers will emerge. We all saw what Calvin did two weeks ago. Can he consistently give us that other threat? Don't know. I've scratched my head for several years as to why he hasn't done more. He's obviously very fast, he's a very good return guy and we see it there.

Also there's Roman Wilson. I feel like he's the Christmas present we haven't had a chance to open yet. If he can get healthy, who knows?

But back to the question: what do you guys think? I for one don't really want him.

Hard pass on him. They want a 2nd round pick and a player. No thanks.

We haven't even utilized Wilson. You go out and pick him up and we can't even say what we have.

If you're gonna go out and shop then shop for your beat down Oline first.

I agree, SF. I want to see what Roman can do. I still think we may be okay with our 2nd receivers this year, it's just taking time.

adams has also been dealing with a hamstring injury. thats a ticking time bomb that could end his season at anytime.
roman wilson is no longer on the injury list, so if he dont get a helmet thats on tomlin.

Hope he plays this week.

Would be nice to get Adams price dang high then a hammy like MOP wrote would reather see the Steelers play with what they have unless a reciever can't pass deal comes by.

Frustrating was watching Arthur Smith offense kinda start getting in a groove then bam o-line injuries last year LBs.

I'm pretty sure he was good to go against the Colts so.....

Calvin Austin is in his 3rd season but he missed his first so I look at him as a second year WR who is showing promise. I thought at thestart of the season it would be Pickens/CA III and Wilson in the slot. I hope we do against the Cowboys.
What I realistically expect is a heavy dose of Najee, Cordarelle and probably Shampkin.

It is a primetime game at home and this is not some 50/50 team we're playing so maybe Tomlin breaks from the Standard and actually PREPARES for this one.

you are correct. he was listed on the injury report , but was a full participant in practice. i have all but given up trying to understand tomlins logic.

considering Isaac Seumalo is cleared to play it looks like tomlin is going to keep him on the bench and start anderson at LEFT guard and McCormick at RIGHT guard. makes perfect sense since McCormick spent all his time in college at left guard while all of anderson college experience was at RIGHT guard and RIGHT tackle.

Tomlin’s position on Seumalo’s return to the team

The Steelers head coach does not seem to be in a hurry to give Seumalo the job. As with Wilson, Tomlin is opting to give him all the time he needs to complete his recovery and then decide with the player at 100% physically. For that reason, rookie Mason McCormick is expected to start at right guard against the Cowboys, with Spencer Anderson taking over at left guard.

They need to play Roman Wilson, and have to try and find another receiver. I'd take Adams but not for some outlandish price.

They really should of just kept DJ around. This offense would be much more dynamic with him than without. He had his frustrating drops but could actually get open and took attention off other receivers.
