Expand Especially their OL and DL . The trenches become even more crucial in Dec/Jan and Pitt probably has the best OL in the game and a very very good DL. They definitely are legit contenders imo. NE is very beatable and KC just seems to collapse in the post season under Reid.

Holding out under contract is different from not agreeing to a tag deal, as I understand it. He never signed the deal, so he wasn’t holding out. Right? He just wasn’t on the team, and since I pointed it out first I get his ring! 1

I didn’t understand why holding out has to only apply if under contract. I believe you can hold out under contract or hold out for a better contract. You said he he wasn’t holding out.... that’s all
