The fact that we're even "entertaining Okung" is probably a pretty good indication he's not.

Seriously when is that fat f**k going to turn in his papers? There is no reason why he shouldn't. He said he's coming back so do it. Last year he f**ked us and didn't tell us until after free agency and the draft so we couldn't replace him And this year free agency has started and he still hasn't filed his papers.

Perhaps but truthfully, IMHO, it seems like he's on the market longer because he's being patient and listening to all offers and then will pit one team against the other. No need to rush especially when you're the one doing all the work. It probably means 3 or 4 teams are in his ballpark too so it's going to take longer. If Osemele made $11.7M, he's got a strong starting point. The article makes no sense either...losing Alvin Bailey is MORE of a reason to ramp up talks. The real issue is that Seattle can't afford his asking price AND Detroit already has an offer on the table. Trying to state that other's are on the market such as Penn and Beachum is not an argument for the need for Okung. Those are far inferior players to Okung who was/is the #1 LT on the market. Trying to focus on injuries...so too has Beachum. Also, if I'm not mistaken, neither Penn nor Beachum play in a ZBS. He would also have to pass a physical.

Bottom line, this may take another week or so or longer and Seattle know's they can't afford him and they're out.

Steelers have agreed to terms on a 2yr deal with tackle Ryan Harris. That takes them out of the Russell Okung/Kelvin Beachum market
