Good point, should have signed a WR1 and impact DE off waivers this week.

 

Thank you. Yes! Exactly! 

 

Slays not going to fix our issues.

Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson.

He said almost. No one is always right.

Good depth signing / you remember what happened in the playoffs when Bedford got concussed?? Apparently not

Good point! The way this team has so many injuries at the end of the season, t makes good sense to have decent back-ups ready JIC.

[jlgarsh]

I wohld laugh if the Steelers signed Elam though. The Bills getting anything for him from Jerry was a heist.

Can he be Bosa’s hamstring?

Can we just harvest slay for parts? Oliver gets a biceps , bosa a hammy, hoecht an achilles?

My god, the number of snarky and negative posts has gotten out of control. People complained when Beane couldn't make a trade at the deadline. Not he adds two players that can possibly help the team get better or at least have better depth, and people are still complaining. Grow the hell up, whiners.

They have to get themselves in tip top shape for the offseason.

Are people really bent out of shape replacing Ingram with Slay? With our playoff history? Seriously?

 

My god

Gotta admit I didn’t see this coming.  Be interesting to see how quickly can integrate him.

But he is better than Jamarcus Ingram.  

 

Yeah that's pretty much what it comes down to. The NFL is too big for Ingram. Slay may be way past his prime but he's an improvement. Nothing to complain about with this move. He costs $350K against our cap and upgrades the depth, even if only slightly.

Could do worse this late in the year. I’d prefer the try to add at pass rusher with the anemic rush we’ve had. Maybe coax someone out of retirement or something. Though, I realize that’s pretty unlikely and difficult to do.

I wonder if Hairston’s head is still a bit wobbly. Only played like 13 snaps.

I leaned more that Pitt was going to be a physical game with a heavy lean in the running game so they were smart to limit Hsirston’s exposure. 

[RichRiderBills]

I think the team was really high on slay and they were really keen on the fact he was playing out of position or being asked to do things he wasn't necessarily great at. 

 

I think they might think he's an exceptional scheme fit. 

[Captain Hindsight]

For a December move, you can’t ask for a better add. I think it’s a great move

But seriously, Beane had to use that Taron Johnson restructure money for something...

[Jay_Fixit]

Anyone complaining about this needs to take a cold shower.

 

***** relax. You can never have too many corners in the NFL.

Didn't realize CB was our problem.

 

Thought it was lack of pass rush & WR1.

 

We have Benford, White & Hairiston.

 

But ok.

 

And if a WR1 or a DE became available, we'd be in on that too. But the best WR available lately was Brandin Cooks and we got him too.

 

If you have a chance to upgrade anywhere at this point in the season, you do it. Slay is an upgrade over Ingram and puts us in a much safer position if we take an injury at CB.

Morgan Fox?

I agree. Your guess is as good as mine. Cannot fathom why they haven’t given him a shot with a PS elevation. Apparently, he’s a poor man’s version of Hoecht. At least he played the Hoecht role in LA before Hoecht. Seems like something worth trying. 

[MarlinTheMagician]

Can Slay get open as a WR?
