Breaks down to 37.5 for 3 years each, 112.5. He earned it.

Cole Holcomb passed his physical and is signing a three-year, $18 million deal with the #Steelers today, per source. The new middle linebacker and signal-caller for Pittsburgh’s defense.

Based on usual cap economics that is a $3m cap hit this year, less than they guaranteed to the new guy. [Edit] $18m is the max value of the contract.

Talking w @Joe_Fann about new Commanders LB Cody Barton: "He's serviceable if unspectacular...The development never popped for a 3rd rounder...He's fine, he's not going to lose you games, but he's not going to make those game wrecker plays either"

Let's hope he is there to provide insight and a guiding veteran force to Sam and nothing more. He has experience that TH cannot provide Sam and I think that plus cost is the most important factor.

experience at being 18-30 as a starter, sure.

Its my opinion, yall dont have to agree, try suffering through watching every game he played last year. The dude is a bum, period. Nothing to see here. If he sniffs qb1, like i said, we're screwed, see ya next year.

I'm kinda surprised we wouldn't sign Holcomb for the deal he got with Steelers. $6 million per year isn't that significant. I know the guarantee is the issue but I wouldn't oppose giving him a few millions extra guaranteed to have a real competition in the LB corp.

I can't speak for everyone but I don't expect or want him to start. Who would you prefer to sign as a FA back up?

Did you watch all the Commanders games?

I'm surprised how split we all are on if Brissett is an improvement or not. I'm in the definitely improved camp.

I think JD was the 3rd down/pass catching back, but he was injured and now he's gone. I heard somewhere that McKinnon could be in the mix. You got the Robinson/Gibson as main backs, McKinnon as the 3rd down. So either Patterson or Williams may not be around.

McKinnon in EB screen game is deadly. I’d say get him here

[MTK]

Can’t have enough good backs especially to help support a young QB

[skinsfan69]

I don't think we need McKinnon at all. Gibson is more than fine handling 3rd down and splitting carries w/ BR.

Do they have something against Patterson? Everytime he gets carries he gets tough yards.

I thought he looked great against Dallas, but what do I know.

I thought they let JD go because they liked at least either Patterson or Williams.

But Bieniemy could just want 1 of his guys here.
