Steelers signings and departures

[Doom]

Not a Steelers signing as such, but I see Shane Owen has signed for the Dogs.

A great signing for them, but I suspect this is also an insurance policy for the Steelers.

Brine is undoubtedly a risky signing for us, so Owen provides a bit of insurance if Greenfield gets injured. We won't be having to rely on Brine to play all the games, Owen would be able to share the load.

Bearing in mind imports can't be on two-way deals, how exactly would that work?

If he's stepped down to the Dogs at 36 it's probably because he can't or doesn't want to play and train full time, for instance if he's studying or has some side hustle business to deal with. So he's then unlikely to turn around and sign to play full-time with the Steelers.

I recall similar comments regarding Tremblay after he signed for the Dogs (both the two way issue and personal study).

Maybe we'll never see Owen in a Steelers shirt, but I think if Greenfield gets injured at a crucial time, we'll see Owen move across the road.
