They can afford to pay Patrick Queen, but that is an interesting position to look at.

If Peyton Wilson...

is indeed ready, then there probably isn't a great need for Patrick Queen.

But like I said, I do think they're going to keep him for the final year of his contract.

Well, there was this Ohio State linebacker who was 240 pounds.

I think he had a 43-and-a-half-inch vertical weight.

All these safeties who are working out, I'm not sure when the safeties are working out, but this Dylan Thienemann, this McNeil Warren from Toledo, Caleb Downs are all supposed to test really, really well.

So there's one freak from the first day, and I think yesterday was the first day of the athletic testing.

I think his name was Sonny Stiles from Ohio State.

But he'll be long gone by the time the Steelers pick.

I think he's likely a top-ten pick.

All right, Joe.

I don't think they are 100 percent no, because I think if Aaron would have told them yes, we would have found out by now.

So I think, you know, Mike has that constant line of communication with Aaron.

He's talked to him on several occasions since taking the job.

And once Aaron is ready to make up his mind, we'll know.

Will that be next week at the Combine?

I don't know.

I doubt it, but I do think we'll know.

Shortly thereafter, you know, the free agency period begins the second week of March, I would imagine by then we would know one way or the other.
