Around the NFL - FA tampering/start

Russ gets 38 million from Denver, plus whatever the Steelers pay him, gets away from Payton and is in a better landing spot. Sounds like he's still winning.

Winning at the bank, sure. His reputation sure has taken a hit these last 2 years.

I'm sure he'll be in Andrew Brandt's Business of Football Hall of Fame list, along with Kirk Cousins.

The crazy shit of he had his own office in Denver was absurd. Just amazingly dumb shit by the Broncos.

The Steelers win some with putatively BAD QBs. I think they made a decent move here, because it costs them so little to have a guy who is decent and experienced.

Experienced, yes. But I'm convinced he is jaded and over the hill. I don't think he will be a positive influence in the locker room, either. I think the Steelers are about to make another cheap and ineffective move at QB.

Seems like McNabb 2.0

I think he will be pretty decent in Pittsburgh. Everyone is ripping on him, but he did throw for a decent amount of yards considering he was not playing the last few games, completed 67% of his passes with 26TB to 9 picks . . . that is far better than what Pittsburgh got out of their QB last year and they won 10 games. I think this is a very good fit, especially with the fact that it will only cost them a $1.2 million cap charge.

You're thinking like a Steelers executive already (see bolded).

He can still play and he's better than what they've got, but the red flags are there with two teams now pushing him out of town
