So far this offseason, we have been waiting word on one trade and one extension. We got one of each, but neither have been the ones we were expecting. While the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to try to trade Antonio Brown, they dealt Marcus Gilbert. Ben Roethlisberger still awaits his extension, but Maurkice Pouncey already got his—in hindsight, perhaps wise before the market resets.
One other bit of news that we are awaiting word on is a release—that of safety Morgan Burnett. While there is certainly nothing against him as a person, his presence on the roster makes little sense after he failed to secure a starting job, opening the door for 2018 first-round pick Terrell Edmunds to take over from the get-go.
