The unrestricted free agency phase of the NFL off-season is almost here. As in most years, it appears to be a dismal (best scenario) or frustrating (likely scenario) first week for the salary cap committed to Steelers and his fans. Below are 17 things related to Steelers that I predict will happen (in no particular order) as soon as the clock strikes 4 pm on Wednesday.
- Moments after NFL players are free to buy their services for the highest bidder, Steelers will post a photo on social media of gambler Jordan Berry signing a three-year deal worth $ 1.5 million.
- Two hours before the start of the free agency, Colin Cowherd, along with many, many other national experts, will declare the Ravens’ free agent winners and the Super Bowl favorites in 2021. Of course, these statements will happen before the Ravens officially hire someone, but as the experts planned to do it anyway, they decided that they would go ahead and solve the problem as soon as possible.
- The Steelers will agree to an agreement with running back Le’Veon Bell and immediately name him the holder of the 2021 season.
- The Bell contract will include a lot of guaranteed money and a few years that can be canceled. The team’s chairman, Art Rooney II, will give a press conference and say that the decision to bring Bell back was motivated by the regret the organization has always had for allowing Rod Woodson to leave in 1997. “Hopefully, all this guaranteed money will make the gods of happy football, ”Art II will say.
- The Steelers will name Bell a pre-retirement inducteed in his 2021 Hall of Honor Class.
- Hours after returning to Pittsburgh, Bell will release his latest rap song entitled: “Salary Cap Hell”.
- Hours after that, Bell will fail another drug test when a combination of Centrum Silver and Bud Light Seltzer Mango is found in his system.
- Disturbed by the Steelers’ initial free agent activity, actor Billy Gardell, a Pittsburgh native and big fan, will insist that the name of his new CBS sitcom, Bob Hearts Abishola, be changed to It is complicated.
- Instead of participating in the Pro Days of the best running backs and / or attackers in the NFL’s 2021 Draft, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin will be seen on an Applebee with the sixth best potential cornerback.
- Looking to add a veteran to the reception room, the Steelers will hire Johnny Holton for a year.
- There will be an accompanying advertising campaign video (which is uncertain).
- Veteran Steelers.com writer Bob Labriola will write an article about the time when Holton increased his diva quotient when it took a while to serve him in an area of the Primanti Brothers in 2019.
- On day 3 of the Steelers’ free agent “frenzy”, Behind the Steel Curtain co-editor Jeff Hartman will ask the posters to avoid commenting for a few days in an effort to “level the curve”. No one will really know what that means, but it will actually work for a few hours.
- That is until word spreads that the Patriots traded their choice of the fourth round of 2024 to Houston in exchange for quarterback Deshaun Watson. Despite Watson’s very lucrative business, the Patriots will really gain ground after convincing Watson to sign a new contract that includes 51 years that can be canceled until 2073.
- Heads will explode across the country when the SB Nation decides to remove its gif function.
- I will be forced to use the “ignore” feature on dozens of BTSC readers after the Steelers signed Sean Davis with a two-year contract for an amount above the market.
- Hours later, Davis will also be named a pre-retirement member of the Steelers 2021 Hall of Honor Class.
