And the thing is, the Steelers get screwed if they do promote Hunt. The new
rule that rewards teams with two third round picks for producing minorities who
go on to become GM’s and head coaches does not apply to internal promotions. So
if they lose someone who they have invested time and energy in, they get
rewarded, but if they have taken time and effort to develop that individual and
promote him, they don’t. To me, that’s crazy.

From what Bouchette said in a chat on The Athletic last week, Omar would
probably not be next up for the Steelers either, they like him as their
Contract guy, but not as a Talent guy. I forget who Ed suggested was the
heir apparent, but I can find it if needed.

4 confirmed coaching changes:
Randy fired as OC
Shaun Sarret fired as OL Coach
Tom Brady fired as DB Coach
James Daniel retires as TE Coach
We also have 3 potential openings :
Matt Canada interviewing for MIA OC
Terry Austin interviewing for Tenn DC
Omar Khan up for Panther GM and previously interviewed for HOU
Does any of this play into Ben's decision to play or not as many have asked.
Ben gets a $15 bonus if he is here past mid March. Assuming team makes a
push for a decision before then.
I think if he wants to play , and I think he can still play at a higher than
most level, he will be back. Not arguing for or against, but I think Ben
stays if he wants to play. Randy won't affect. Pounce may if he retires.
Ben's problem from a financial standpoint is unlike many other superstars he
is largely hated outside the Burgh. Not getting TV job or endorsements. His
last chance at $$ is to return next year.
If the team likes Canada they need to make a move on him soon if teams like
MIA are calling. The have a young QB, they are in warm weather and they have
two 1st round picks to spend on skill positions.
As with every season, it will be interesting.
