NFL Trade Deadline fallout continues after the Steelers didn’t make any moves. We saw almost every other AFC playoff team make some sort of addition, except for Pittsburgh. The Chiefs got Josh Downs for a pair of mid-round picks. The Steelers will forge ahead with Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson – assuming they return from injury. The fans have spoken on social media and gave Omar Khan a D/F for his work.
Did Omar Khan and the Steelers ‘fail’ at the deadline?
Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Tyler does not believe Sidney Crosby is contemplating retirement at the end of the year, despite not having a new contract with the Penguins. TK thinks Sid has too much pride to just walk away from the Penguins as the team struggles to build a contender. Tyler reiterated that Crosby retiring doesn’t seem like a possibility to him. If this season goes further south, will the Penguins trade guys like Evgeni Malkin or Erik Karlsson? TK joked that Sid could be a good GM in the league if he wanted to be. How much does the organization owe the ‘Big 3’ that have provided so much prosperity for the team in the last 2 decades? Tyler thinks Sid and Geno are still playing well, but Kris Letang may be the weak link of that group. Tyler said the team needs to get younger, but there are not enough players pushing the old guys out right now.
