The Pittsburgh Steelers had a busy Tuesday afternoon. After parting ways with one of the worst free-agent signings in recent memory in Darius Slay, the team turned around and claimed Adam Thielen off waivers.
This move feels like the Spider-Man meme where both characters point at each other.
Like Slay, Thielen was once a top player at his position. Even as they aged, they found ways to stay productive. Similarly, just as Pittsburgh thought it was getting a savvy veteran addition in Slay, the Vikings believed the same when Thielen returned. Both experiments failed, and at this point neither profile as more than depth.
