Haley gone. Wasn't really a fan of getting rid of Arians instead of Haley but Haley has done a really good job as OC there and he's been a much better OC than Arians was. He's prolonged Ben's career, the OL magically got better once Ben wasn't asked to hold on to the ball for 5-6 seconds in Arians QB homicide offense. Plus after the 1st year the O was one of the best in the league, every year.

Another guy the Steelers should move on from is Lavean Bell. He bitched and moaned all last week about contract demands and then it comes out that he wasn't even attending the walk throughs leading up to the playoff game. Instead of the franchise tag throw a transition tag on Bell and see what other teams will take him for. Just abhorrent behavior for a player who's failed multiple drugs tests and manages to be the drama queen on a roster full of drama. Time to move from Bell.

Subbing out Gronk for those guys in the white and black striped jerseys is why Belichick is a genius.

He's one of the NFL's best players and is "cheap" (for a player of his caliber) at around 13-15M/year. The offense may be talented but they've also looked awful w/o him. RB is one of those positions where you will only get 1 big contract in your career (plus its a postion where 1 injury can end you) no matter how good you are so I see why he's been griping about it. The Steelers have a habit of negoiating during the season with their best players and maybe they refused this time or just came w/ lowball offers. IDK if there isn't more to this story. 
 Now I think Conner has 1200 yard talent and is very underrated as a pass catcher but he may not even be ready for the next season and the way he runs he may never be healthy (defenders just go straight for his knees). You are taking a big chance if you let Bell go. The AFC will still be weak next year the future is now for the Steelers. The Pats will be good. A team such as the Ravens/Jags/Denver might also be good if they get Cousins. Plus the Raiders and Chiefs could be good as well. None of these teams are tough outs (except for the Pats). Its not a hard road to the SB next year.
