DENVER -- Art Rooney II soon will sit with Mike Tomlin, Kevin Colbert and the rest of the Steelers' brass to plot the coming spring and summer. And this might or might not be a five-point outline for that meeting that I might or might not slip under the chairman's door:

5. Stop burning cash on Maurkice Pouncey and give it instead to Ramon Foster, who never misses a snap, and David DeCastro, who might have been the roster's most improved player. Foster can be a free agent. DeCastro needs to be wrapped up. Take care of the guards.
