But he cannot come back to the Steelers in a trade this year.
So he would have to be cut first.
Until he's cut, you know, it's kind of a new point.
But if it would get to that point, Joe, and, you know, if he was cut, you know, the Steelers โ
wouldn't have to pay him what he was making if they can come to terms on a cheaper contract, you know, not pay him the $17 million a year he was making when he was here.
I still think he's a really good player, but if you're getting him for, say, $10 million instead of $17 million, you know, that's a lot better for a guy who doesn't produce turnovers like he once did.
So, you know, listen, I'm not holding my breath until he gets cut, but if he does get cut, that'll be something to keep an eye on.
I think it's longer than that, Austin, yeah.
Yeah, well, they think Deshaun's going to be fine.
I think Deshaun's going to be able to practice in the spring.
So that's great news.
They really like Deshaun.
They like what he brings to the defense.
He's a hard-nosed player.
He's a little bit different from Jalen because he is like your basic strong safety.
He doesn't have a lot of โ
flexibility as he cannot go play in the slot.
That's not something that he would excel at.
So he's a very good box safety, but that's what he is.
And it's not like they're paying him a ton of money either.
