00:03 - Fields is on his rookie contract.
00:04 They won't pick up a fifth year option
00:06 because it's way too much money for a backup quarterback.
00:08 He's making less than 3 million.
00:10 So you gotta love that.
00:12 Russell Wilson's making just under 1.2.
00:14 Look, they've completely reshaped it.
00:18 Wilson had 26 passing touchdowns last season
00:20 before he got benched.
00:21 They upgraded the room.
00:22 Think about it, it was Trubisky, Mason Rudolph last season.
00:26 They've absolutely upgraded.
00:27 Mason Rudolph, by the way, will back up in Tennessee.
00:30 But the bottom line is, yes,
00:31 they've reshaped that quarterback room in Pittsburgh.
00:33 You've gotta love it.
00:33 Now, they've got work to do
00:35 with the wide receiver position.
00:36 After training Deontay Johnson,
00:38 because George Pickens needs help on the other side,
00:42 they also need a slot receiver.
00:44 Calvin Austin's probably better as a fourth receiver
00:46 than a third.
00:46 So they've gotta add two prime pieces of receiver.
00:48 - What about Boyd?
00:51 - Well, you know what?
00:52 We'll have to see with that one
00:54 because there've been a lot of teams on him.
00:57 He is, by the way, he's a supreme slot receiver.
01:00 He's a supreme slot inside receiver,
01:03 formerly of the Bengals.
01:05 But the bottom line is the Steelers, through the draft,
01:08 have to add two significant pieces
01:10 at the wide receiver position.
01:11 They're good at running back.
01:13 We know they're gonna run the football.
01:14 That's what Arthur Smith wants.
01:15 That's what the front office wants and ownership wants.
01:18 Good defense.
01:18 I like where this team is going.
01:20 Still Baltimore is the class of that division.
01:23 Derrick Henry, yes, King Henry is with the Ravens,
01:25 the guy they tried to trade for last season,
01:28 did happen, but they got him.
01:30 They're gonna have him for two years.
01:31 They look forward to doing that.
01:32 But the Steelers, no question of helping themselves.
01:34 Don't forget, don't forget, Scott,
01:36 the Steelers cut Allen Robinson,
01:38 who I did talk to at,
01:41 I talked to Allen Robinson at the combine.
01:44 He told me that he's definitely gonna still play.
01:46 And by the way, they also signed Van Jefferson,
01:48 Sean Jefferson's son,
01:50 who was a former second round pick of the Rams,
01:51 who's kind of fallen on a hard time,
01:53 bounced around a little bit.
01:54 But the guy could play.
01:56 In fact, talking to the Rams,
01:57 they thought two years ago he'd have a breakout season,
01:58 but he had a knee injury.
02:00 And quite frankly, it hasn't been the same,
02:01 but he's healthy now
02:03 and he'll have a chance to make the class.
