Remember all those calls for Steelers to trade for Deshaun Watson - LOL!

Published: April 7, 2021, 5:41 p.m.

b'When reports surfaced that Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson was disgruntled down in Houston and clamoring for a high-profile trade to another team, more than a few Steelers fans piped up in Pittsburgh that their favorite football team should make the deal, whatever the cost. Flashforward a couple of months, and now Watson is embroiled in an ugly sexual scandal that could lead to his lengthy suspension by the NFL -- not to mention personal lawsuits and perhaps even criminal proceedings. This stands as Exhibit One for why the Steelers brain trust might know a wee bit more than the average Yinzer fan out there and Steelers Nation. It\\u2019s also why I don\\u2019t buy the current Steelers\\u2019 draft narrative being forced down our throats. Namely, that the Steelers are falling in love with Alabama running back Najee Harris at pick 24 \\u2013 and vice versa. It\\u2019s an outright romance at this point, Pittsburgh. But I say, Jerry McGuire might have had Renee Zellweger at \\u201chello,\\u201d but Najee lost me when he gushed to Adam Schefter that\\xa0Mike Tomlin is \\u201creally cool.\\u201d\\xa0That sounds more like junior high than your shrewd, cold-eyed Steelers draft room. Could it be another patented Steelers\\u2019 head fake to cover up what the team truly covets high in this draft \\u2013 a pedigree pass rusher to pair with T.J. Watt? History\\u2019s shown absolutely anything can happen when Pittsburgh is poised to pick. I cover all the Steelers\\u2019 draft scenarios and reveal the team\\u2019s real rebuilding plans, including the blueprint for when Big Ben is done, in this astute edition of the Steelers Update Podcast. Don\\u2019t miss it, Steelers fans!\\xa0 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices'
