00:00 Mike Williams comes in here 29 years old coming off an ACL injury.
00:03 So a bit of a concern.
00:05 I mean, you high on this guy?
00:07 You think it's worth the signing, depending on what the money is?
00:10 And, you know, you think it's a deal that improves the Pittsburgh Steelers?
00:13 Yeah, I'll be honest.
00:15 I'm not very high on Mike Williams.
00:17 I don't I just I can't see him.
00:21 I'm betting against Mike Williams, to be quite honest with you.
00:25 I just think between the injury history, he's getting up there in age.
00:28 He's going to turn 30 this season.
00:30 Maybe I think maybe before the season starts, I'm not sure.
00:33 But it's it's a bit of a gamble.
00:36 And like you said, it really kind of depends all on the money.
00:40 I'd take a flyer on him for for a cheap contract one year.
00:45 But I'm not I'm not giving him a multi year deal.
00:49 And I'm not giving him north of
00:52 I don't even know how high I'd go, maybe like seven million dollars.
00:54 Like I was going to say, seven, eight million bucks. Right.
00:57 It's it's a big gamble for a guy like this who just he has had good seasons,
01:03 but there is a long injury history there going back to his college days
01:07 that I'm just not sure, especially as he gets older,
01:10 like that stuff isn't going to get better.
01:13 You know, like you don't get healthier when you get past 30 years old.
01:16 Yeah, that just doesn't happen.
01:18 But I think there's enough potential there.
01:20 There's enough.
01:21 I don't know.
01:23 Like there is there's enough of a history there of, you know, big playmaking.
01:27 And he can be an explosive threat downfield
01:30 to make it worth taking a flyer on and exploring.
01:34 My only thing is that like what role does he play in this offense?
01:39 You know, like, yeah, he's a big play threat.
01:41 But, you know, isn't that George Pickens job?
01:43 You know, I guess like if you have George Pickens,
01:47 do you need another guy who fits in the same kind of role as him?
01:50 That would be my only question.
01:52 I feel like if you're going after receivers, you got to look more at
01:56 reliable slot guys.
01:57 I guess you do need one more outside guy with Deontay gone.
01:59 But I feel like they could look at that in the draft, too.
02:02 I just I think there are.
02:04 Perhaps some better options out there as far as starting caliber guys go,
02:09 guys that you could maybe be a little bit more sure of, or at least
02:12 maybe have a higher ceiling or could be more consistent
02:14 than than Mike Williams at 30 years old could be.
