When the Pittsburgh Steelers fan base talks about the future of Bud Dupree with the organization, it usually focuses on one of three potential options:
- Franchise tag Dupree to ensure he provides the same production in 2020 as the did in 2019.
- Let him walk and hit free agency.
Those three options are the most common when it pertains to a player like Dupree, but what if there was a fourth option? An option which could be risky, if the Steelers have no interest in bringing Dupree back, but could see them get something other than a compensatory pick for losing Dupree’s skill set.
