Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread:
- You knew this would be the first question — now that it’s had some time to settle, what are your thoughts on Aaron Rodgers signing with the Steelers?
- T.J. Watt hasn’t been at OTAs amid his contract dispute. No one seems all that concerned. But if Watt doesn’t show for mandatory minicamp starting June 10, what will your level of concern be?
- Reports from OTAs are fun but generally don’t matter much in the long term — you can’t learn a ton from football in shorts. From what you’ve seen of OTAs, does anything stand out in particular?
-
Steelers training camp dates have been announced, with the first open-to-the-public practice July 24. Have you ever been to Steelers training camp? If not, would you ever want to go?
- We've now gotten reports that the Steelers probably won’t trade for Jonnu Smith, and then reports that talks have resumed again. Do you think the trade will actually go through, or is Smith just trying to get a new contract with Miami? Does anything change with the Rodgers signing?
- In this dead part of the NFL offseason (well, yesterday was an exception), there’s a bit more freedom for us authors here at BTSC to write stuff that doesn’t always have to do with recent news — because, well, there generally isn’t a ton. Any particular deep dives or article topics you’d like to see over the next month or two? I can’t guarantee anything but I definitely don’t mind free ideas.
My song of the night:
So, settle down for the weekend, share your food and drink of choice, and let’s talk some football...
Behind the Steel Curtain
