Sources: The Steelers are planning to sign ex-first-round QB Dwayne Haskins today. Haskins is meeting with the coaches now, and if all goes well, a deal will be hammered out.
If they reassign #7 or not, no idea, but I got the sense from him he was done, but he's said that 5 or 6 times already, maybe he heels over the next couple months and is interested in playing still, but I wouldn't be surprised even a little if he hangs them up
apparently had a pact to retire together. Tough to say no to $40M if the Stillers are willing to pick up his option, though. Ben looked close to shot by the end.

I think there is zero chance they will pay Ben 40 million with the way he looked the 2nd half of the season. I think it will either be retirement or restructure.
that is a smartly run team. They will sign Haskins for peanuts and see if Tomlin can improve his maturity. If it works, they have a first round pick at qb. If it doesn't, they've lost nothing.
If Roethlisberger wants to come back, the Steelers will welcome him with open arms- 69% completions, 33 td against 10 picks on the season even though their running game fell apart.

Oh for fuck's sake. If the giants signed Haskins you'd be calling it a move from a desperate team signing a failed draft pick and bitching about every penny given to him.
was any good, he could have taken him at 11 iirc, or wherever PIT picked in 2019 ahead of WAS. But like Miami, Cincinnati, NYG, DEN who also needed QBs, PIT took a hard pass.
Haskins is being brought in bc it will cost PIT next to nothing, and he is as good an option as any plan B to play QB. Not because they think he is any super secret talent that 31 other teams don't recognize.
Maybe they'll hire Ryan Leaf as a special consultant.
That's hilarous, but we should give Ryan Leaf his due. He actually does go around the league and gives speeches to not fall in the traps he did. Actually a good role model now for all accounts.

It's a fucking parody at this point.
You have me confused with someone else, moron. You are so busy running around on every thread humping Dave's leg, you forget who says what.

Oh no, he absolutely has the right guy. Not sure why you’d even question that. Don’t you live with yourself? You’d think you’d have a better idea of who you are by now but I guess it’s not surprising that you’re clueless

This. Their 3rd string QB is a free agent and they decided Haskins would be a better 3rd string QB.
not good anymore tells you everything you need to know about stats. They are team and situation dependant. Ben had a bunch of talented pass catchers and an offensive line that could pass block in an offense that essentially become pass only without Conner and the line struggling to run block. Of course he put up stats, however he is toast and everyone knows it and he's essentially holding the Steelers hostage with his contract. 23 millioin dead cap money and 40 millioin total. They have a very tough decision, but no way they cut him, even if its for the best of the team. No way you can cut a franchise QB like that unless you have something in the wings and Rudolph is terrible.
If he ever grows up and starts acting like an adult, he might be a steal for the Steelers (no pun intended).
Does he? I mean, does he really have all the tools? Maybe, I guess? I can't tell. He's flashed now and then but I can't tell what he could be with his head screwed on straight.
Even if Ben isn’t there, there’s is no way the Steelers can reissue that number.
If they reassign #7 or not, no idea, but I got the sense from him he was done, but he's said that 5 or 6 times already, maybe he heels over the next couple months and is interested in playing still, but I wouldn't be surprised even a little if he hangs them up

C'mon man! Haskins is not good in the QB room!
Ben is not getting another season.

I can't help believing that if it works out for Haskins in Pittsburgh, he will do something stupid to undo it all. Or alienate his teammates.

LOL that's a good one.

Will it work - Coaches ability + Haskins Want-to. Want-to =?
