Steelers/NFL
“Make no mistake, Bud Dupree is a priority for us,” — Steelers head Coach Mike Tomlin said in January
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been operating all off-season with the mindset that one way or another, OLB Bud Dupree would be a Pittsburgh Steeler in 2020.
So to the surprise of no one, the Steelers today placed the franchise tag on Dupree. If the two sides can’t agree to a long-term extension, Dupree will play on a $15.8 million tag in 2020, something the Steelers are cautiously optimistic they’ll avoid.
It took a while, but the Steelers finally got rewarded for selecting Dupree in the first round of the 2014 draft as Dupree exploded in 2019 with a breakout season, registering a career-high 11.5 sacks, 16 tackles for loss and added four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Dupree and All-Pro T.J. Watt formed the best 1-2 outside linebacker combo in 2019 and while many have argued that Dupree was a product of Watt and others have argued ‘why not go the Patriot way’ and opt not spend big money on front-seven pass rushers, there was too much risk for the Steelers to walk away from Dupree.
Pittsburgh has a window here when they believe for the first time in a decade they have a Super Caliber defense that with even just average to above average quarterback play, they are going to be a legitimate threat in the AFC. They don’t want to mess that up but letting young talent walk out at the door and the lack of depth at OLB was problematic,
What this means for the cap situation, just let it all play out. There’s always panic among the fan base on the Steelers cap situation every off-season for no reason. There’s a number of ways to create room at their disposal without subtracting anyone of real significance.
Chinese Virus
1918 – Kansas Flu!
That’s what I call it. His best line ever.
Npls favorite channel Crooked News Network saying about 25m people might get affected by 8 weeks.
“25m people might get affected by 8 weeks.” Is 8 weeks a new virus?
Go make some donuts you fatso.
Make sure you wear plastic gloves
What’s your call sammich? Based on it being a hoax only 3 weeks ago…
I guess World is fed up of democRATS/ Liberals. Most places there is huge outbreaks are democRAT areas same in Canada lol
Now let’s put jokes a side. When I was saying 2020 is the year to collapse the market. Well the coronavirus was the excuse to pull the trigger. This is man made obviously I don’t expect you to figure that out since you still haven’t figured out rod is Stan.
You and your idiot buddy rothey are fucken remarkably stupid!
About 100 years ago there was Spanish flu. Wiped out millions of millions people
More people are going to suffer from the reaction to COVID-19 then the virus itself. Millions of lost jobs, closed businesses leading to depression, suicidal. Better just to let the weakest 5% of the world perish. Darwin was right.
Seattle was supposed reveal it’s nickname on March 31st but now they have postponed it bc of the corona pandemic.
What a bs excuse…. It would have been something different for hockey fans to talk about.
I am assuming it’s going to be the Kraken…..
Or, the Seattle Sam(e)’s. All players will be French Canadian and speak terrible english.
Dumb Washington post. Saying We must release prisoners to lessen the spread of corona virus
Meanwhile coward CEO’s are all resigning. MasterCard, Disney, LinkedIn, Microsoft,UPS,salesforce,uber eats. Call me a conspiracy guy but these are more proof this is coronavirus was just an excuse to collapse market on purpose. Once again same was right.
And almost every single one of them took another position in the company…
What’s great about this is they made these changes one by one starting near the end of the year. This prick reads about it yesterday and now it’s a grand conspiracy lol. Here’s a fun one for you to work through… how come on the three days we started to see solid rallies in the markets your favourite president decided to hold a press conference just prior to trading closing? Bout a half hour, enough time for late day panic selling and chipping away at any rally? He waits a half hour, markets close, he does his thing and gives… Read more »
Send them all to Montreal!
Pretty quiet! Hope everyone is feeling well.
They quarantined Sam(e)’s Big Boss Man pillow.
Pens signed defensemen Cam Lee to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Apparently -5am isn’t a fan of Cam Lee. There’s also the chance he doesn’t know how to spell his name.
It is a very hard name to spell.
Too bad they couldn’t shut down the media. That would help more than closing businesses.
Because they are mostly democRATS they get a free pass. Just like npl’s mom she still has her GangBangg event running
Ravens load up on DL. Steelers better draft OL early and often.
If the coronavirus doesn’t kill you another Steelers off-season will
Football articles mean no Sam. Keep it up D. He clearly doesn’t know hockey, football probably blows Sam’s mind.
With the -5’s below I think he was already here.
There more and it will be Letang… -58

Wuhan just wrapped up the last temporary tent and are getting back to normal. The first case was 105 days ago. Can’t imagine it will get anywhere near as bad here with the precautions that were taken and the fact we both had a head start and aren’t as overpopulated in most areas. Hopefully we get hockey back in May. 50 cases in PA and you’d think we were getting hit by an asteroid.
I watched that Pens documentary on youtube. It was great but they skipped over the best part…. X-Generation. Lol.
