Steelers claim WR Adam Thielen off waivers, release CB Darius Slay | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE AND LET’S TREAT IT LIKE THE BIG DEAL THAT IT WAS. BY THE WAY ADAM THIELEN WAS CLAIMED ON THE STEELERS, BY WAIVERS YESTERDAY, POOR THIELEN LIKE BRANDON COOKS. WAS ABLE TO AND GO SIGN WITH ANY TEAM HE WANTED FEELING I THINK WOULD LIKE TO PLAY FOR A SUPER BOWL CONTENDER AND I THINK WE CAN AGREE. THE STEELERS AREN’T AND THEON’S NOT GOING TO MAKE THEM INTO 1 BUT HE GOT CLAIMED ON WAIVERS 1 DAY AFTER BEING RELEASED BY THE VIKINGS. SO WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME TO PITTSBURGH, ADAM THIELEN. ENJOY YOUR SAID HE’S THE SEASON. HE MAY GET 1 MORE. BUT I DON’T THINK HE’S GOING TO GET MORE THAN 1 MORE AFTER THE REGULAR SEASON ENDS? YEAH, NO. I I I HEAR YOU THERE. AND, YOU KNOW, THEY CUT DARIUS SLAY TO MAKE THAT MOVE. RIGHT TO SIGN ADAM THIELEN AGAIN THAT JUST SPEAKS TO. THEY BROUGHT DARIUS SLAY IN THERE TO BE A STARTING CORNER THIS YEAR. HERE WE ARE IN THE FINAL PLAYOFF PUSH AND HE’S CUT FROM THE FOOTBALL TEAM. I MEAN THAT SPEAKS TO HOW EGREGIOUS THE THE MISTAKE WAS THERE AND SOME OF THE MISTAKES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. BUT YES, I I THINK WITH WITHIN WHAT HERE, ADAM. THIELEN’S PROBABLY A GUY THAT THEY DON’T FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE A GOOD VERSION OF RIGHT, WHERE HE CAN RUN THE LITTLE OPTION ROUTES AND DO SOME THINGS WHERE HE READS COVERAGE AND AARON RODGERS CAN TRUST HIM THAT WAY. THAT’S KIND OF WHERE I WOULD SEE HIS ROLE IN THE OFFENSE AND I HEAR YOU, YOU KNOW, I’M SURE HE DID WANT TO GO TO A SUPER BOWL CONTENDER, BUT YOU KNOW BEGGARS, CAN’T BE CHOOSERS AS THEY SAY AT TIMES HERE. AND YOU KNOW, HE’S STUCK AND HE’S PITTSBURGH. THEY SIGNED A SANTE SAMUEL JUNIOR TO THE ACTIVE ROSTER, WHICH BALANCED OUT SLEIGH. I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE CORRESPONDING MOVE WAS WITH THE. AS I DIDN’T HEAR THAT RECEIVERS, THEY’RE THE ROSTER CALVIN, AUSTIN, III DK. MEDEF. SCOTTY MILLER BEEN SCARRONE ADAM THIELEN KESHAN WILLIAMS AND ROMAN WILSON AND MARQUEZ. VALDES SCANTLING HAS SQUAD FOR LIKE A MONTH. THAT’S ROGER’S GUY, RIGHT? HE HE’S NOT ON THE ACTIVE ROSTER. SO, YEAH. THEY THEY DO NEED SOMEONE LIKE THAN I JUST DON’T KNOW THAT THAT’S GOING TO MAKE. NO, I’M WITH YOU. MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE? NO I I DON’T THINK YOU’LL EITHER. I WON’T I DON’T KNOW. IT’S IT’S SO FUNNY. WE’RE GOING INTO THE PASSING GAME AND THEY’RE GOING TO BE PLAYING PASSING GAME. YOU YOU’VE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT ALL YEAR OUT OF PASSING GAME IS SO BASIC. YEAH IT IT IT IS. IT’S BASIC AND THEY’VE LET ROGERS HIJACK. IT TO A DEGREE AND THEY’RE DOING WHAT HE WANTS TO DO FOR THE MOST PART BUT THAT’S WHERE THIS GAME THIS WEEKEND’S KIND OF IT IT IS BECAUSE I, I, YOU KNOW, JOHN HARBAUGH, NOT THAT MAYBE WE CONVERSATION. TO THAT EXTENT THAT WE JUST HAD. BUT WE COULD TO A DEGREE, I DON’T THINK THERE’S ANY DOUBT AND JUST LIKE THE STEELERS, THE RAVENS OFFENSE IS NOT PERFORMING AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL AT ALL. I MEAN, I WATCHED THAT THOROUGHLY ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY A LITTLE BIT ON FILM AND WATCH THE RAVENS THE LAST FEW WEEKS. IT, IT AIN’T GREAT RIGHT NOW ON THAT SIDE OF THE BALL DEFENSE IS PLAYING PRETTY GOOD BUT YEAH, WE GOT 2 TEAMS HERE THAT WE’RE USED TO SEEING JUST TO BE CONSTANT POWERS WHERE YOU KNOW, IT’S PHYSICAL AND TOUGH AND WE HAVE A CERTAIN EXPECTATION FOR HIM AND RIGHT NOW. NEITHER 1 IS DELIVERING AND IT FEELS LIKE IT’S TEETERING IN BOTH PLACES. LET ME JUST SAY THIS, AS YOU MENTIONED HARBAUGH, AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE PENN STATE VACANCY EARLIER, AND WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT PENN STATE WHIFFED ON THE BYU COACH AND THEY’RE STILL LOOKING. YEAH, YEAH, THAT’S CRAZY. RIGHT, YOU KNOW, FOR THE MOST PART, WITH THE WAY THESE COLLEGE JOBS ARE AND THE WAY THAT THE REALITIES OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL CURRENTLY EXISTS WITH NIL AND TRANSFER PORTAL, MOST OF THE BIG-TIME COLLEGES CAN’T WAIT AROUND FOR NICK SABIN TO FINISH UP HIS 6 AND 10 SEASON WITH THE MIAMI DOLPHINS BEFORE. YOU KNOW, I’M NOT GOING TO BE THE ALABAMA COACH. OH, HE’S THE ALABAMA COACH. YOU, YOU CAN’T. YOU’VE GOT TO GET THAT JOB FILLED. AND THERE AREN’T MANY BOBBY PATRINOS OUT THERE THAT ARE GOING TO, YOU KNOW, PACK UP THEIR STUFF AND LEAVE ATLANTA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON WHERE IT WASN’T THE MIDDLE, BUT IT WAS NEAR THE END OF THE SEASON. IT WAS EARLY DECEMBER OF 2007, WHERE HE JUST DISAPPEARED TO GO COACH ARKANSAS. SO IN THIS CASE YOU’VE GOT THE PENN STATE JOB OPEN. FIRST PORTAL. THEY’VE GOT GUYS FLOCKING TO VIRGINIA, TECH, AND JAMES FRANKLIN, AT THIS POINT MAYBE YOU WAIT AND HIRE A JOHN HARBAUGH AND I THINK BETWEEN TOMLIN AND JOHN HARBAUGH, JOHN HARBAUGH THE THEN TOMLIN NEVER WOULD BE AGREED. SO I’M, I’M DEFINITELY KEEPING AN EYE AND AN EAR OUT FOR A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PET THAT PENN STATE’S GOING TO WAIT FOR AN NFL COACH. AND THE FIRST GUY ON THE LIST, FOR ME WOULD BE JOHN HARBAUGH. YEAH, I I HEAR YOU THERE. I MEAN, LISTEN, I I WANT THE GIANTS TO GET MIKE TOMLIN, I WANT THE STEELERS TO FIRE MIKE TOMLIN. I WANT THE GIANTS TO GET MIKE TOMLIN. THAT’S WHAT I WOULD LIKE HARBAUGH. I HEAR YOU WITH THE COLLEGE THING. PENN STATE’S GOING TO BE INTERESTING. YOU’RE RIGHT. THEY’RE IN A LITTLE BIT OF A SPOT HERE AND YOU KNOW, I HEAR YOU WITH THE NFL THING, RIGHT? JUST SOMEBODY LIKE JOE. BRADY THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR FOR THE BILLS AS HE’S GETTING INVOLVED. RIGHT. YOU KNOW BRIAN DIEBALL. THAT NAME’S BEEN THROWN OUT THERE BEFORE THE THE POUGALA, THE OWNER OF THE BILLS. HE’S GOT PENN STATE TIES THERE TOO. SO THAT’S WHERE IT’S ALL INTERESTING BUT WE’LL SEE WHERE THIS GOES. WE DEFINITELY GOT SOME SOME COACHING DRAMA T

  5. Broderick Jones is on IR so the steelers dont need to make any moves. MVS had knee surgery 60 days ago and is not full speed. ADAM THIELEN MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE

  9. Guy on the right just played his cards. All this anti-Tomlin narrative just so his Giants can get him. Nobody actually thinks Tomlin isn't the guy.

  10. This must be ridiculous take day because it's a slow news day. Oh, but wait, there is new: Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick are finalists for pro football Hall of Fame.

  16. If Jonnu listened to the check Rodgers gave him they'd have scored a td in the 3rd and that would have been game on. This entire season is reliant on the $170 mil they've paid the defense. You said it beginning of the season Rodgers is there to manage the game as the defense performs. Now it's code red that they aren't lighting it up on the offensive side… the hypocrisy

  22. Now turn off got a game plan a little differently now John harbaugh of the Ravens got a game plan a little differently cuz the new receiver signing with them that changes everything😅😅

  25. He can’t play anymore. If an improving Panthers offense let him go before the poor offense Vikings did, how can he help a mediocre offense in Pittsburgh? Even Diontae Johnson returning would be an upgrade.
