Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news around 5 p.m. Eastern.
Should the Steelers consider Jameis Winston as a cheaper alternative to Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson in their pursuit of a quarterback, as colleague Jason Mackey suggested in a column Friday? Could Winston have success with weapons including DK Metcalf and George Pickens at his disposal? Or would he still be too prone to turnovers? And how does his game fit with what coach Mike Tomlin and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith want to do on offense?
Paul tackles those questions and more as the dust begins to settle on NFL free agency. Is Darius Slay Jr. too old to make an impact at cornerback? Can Malik Harrison be a sneaky impact signing, as DeShon Elliott was in joining the Steelers from the Ravens last season? And do the Steelers still need another interesting running back after the Kenneth Gainwell signing?
