The Steelers have signed CB Cortez Allen to a 4-year contract extension worth $26 million.

Didn't they recently cut the CB they drafted? Be interesting to see how their secondary goes this year.

The Steelers have signed CB Cortez Allen to a 5-year contract extension worth $26 million.

 

Correction: It is a 5-year deal not a 4-year deal.

Yes, their 5th rd pick.  They signed him to their practice squad I believe.

So aside from signing Mike Mitchell, have they done anything to make their back unit better aside from growing older?

Both are right. He signed for 4 years, then they had to restructure. A 2nd restructure is already on its way.

Wow what steal for them. That's a really good deal for Pittsburgh.

[JO_75]

Rams ink Robert Quinn to a 4 year deal locking him up through 2019.

[Ravenslifer]

We worked out Jalil Brown - if I remember correctly he was Jimmy Smith's teammate at Colorado and started opposite Jimmy.

Lol great picture. Very fitting. I liked Little coming out of college but he's really done little (lol) since coming into the league.

You know that if you aren't good enough to be a WR for the Browns right now that you aren't that good. Curious move even if Jones is out for the season

[BmoreBird22]

Well, he's on IR

[52520Andrew]

Well, he's on IR

Yeah I said that he was out for the year, still a weird move as Little isn't any good at catching

A second trade has been finalized ahead of the trade deadline. The Tennessee Titans have traded OLB Akeem Ayers to the New England Patriots for a 6th round pick. The Patriots also receive a 6th round pick in return.

The Jets have signed WR Jeremy Kerley to a 4-year $16M extension.

Oh and something that will hit Ravens talk as soon as I post this, Panthers release DB Charles Godfrey.

Wow. Ayers for a 6th?! Seems like a great feel for NE.

[Inqui]

Forget that - Ayers for the exchange of 6ths???? Unless I'm missing something big, that sounds like daylight robbery.

[GrimCoconut]

Yeah no doubt about it. Sounds like Ozzie brokered that deal.

[52520Andrew]

Crazy good deal

[Mt. Crushmore]

Amazed that it took that little for Ayers.  Tennessee obviously didn't think he fit their defense.  He had played in only 10 snaps this season.

[Inqui]

Yeah no doubt about it. Sounds like Ozzie brokered that deal.

The only way that could be a bigger steal would be if Belichick broke into the Titans HQ in the dead of night and physically took Ayers' contract back to Foxboro.

 

And filmed their playbook while he was at it.

Gerald McCoy gets a 7 year extension from Bucs for nice chunk of dough:

 

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000416827/article/bucs-gerald-mccoy-signs-7year-extension-up-to-98m

 

Worth every penny.

[52520Andrew]

Good for him, worth the money. I would love to see Atkins get a similar amount as well

[JO_75]

Yeah no doubt about it. Sounds like Ozzie brokered that deal.

 

I wish Ozzie had brokered that deal.

Now Suh and his agent are licking their chops. Suh is going to get a 7-year deal worth over $100M and more than the $51M in guaranteed money that McCoy got. The rumor is he wants to leave Detroit to go play in a higher market, AKA New York. The Bills have Dareus to worry about so guess he'll have to settle for playing in New Jersey instead.

[Mt. Crushmore]

I'd much rather have McCoy than Suh

[Mt. Crushmore]

Browns release RB Ben Tate

[NebraskaRavensFan44]

Browns release RB Ben Tate

 

He knows Kubiaks scheme and he played for a division rival. Seems like the type of resume of guys we try to get. Do you think we'll target him?

[NebraskaRavensFan44]

Panthers release WR Jason Avant

[rmw10]

And the Steelers cut LeGarrette Blount

[Moderator 3]

And the Steelers cut LeGarrette Blount

He earned that, on and off the field.

[52520Andrew]

Ha and people flipped around here when we didn't get him
