I do know we came close, verrrrrrrry close, to flat out releasing Cooley over the weekend. To give him a fair shot elsewhere. So with this trade rumor, I thought well maybe they found a willing partner.

The Wallace rumor seems ridiculous, but looking at Cooley's cap hit to us as well as Wallace holding out and refusal to accept anything but elite pay...they may want to just dump him for a player that will actually be a team player, or even on the field. They'll need a trade partner with a big-cap player, like Cooley.
I don't think there's a chance of the Steelers completing this stupid of a trade with us, but the numbers could work, so it's not impossible. Just 99% unlikely.
