I think the Steelers need to franchise Max Starks. This would ensure a few things:
-The Steelers have a viable LT on the team for at least one more year.
-Starks would need to stay in shape to land that big money contract.
-The Steelers would have another season/offseason/draft to find/develop a LT.
I just feel that if Starks gets that big money contract there is a very real possibility he eats himself out of shape. I think he let himself go the season after we won the Superbowl the last time and that is why he lost his job. If we franchise him he has to stay in shape this offseason so he plays well for his future employer and is ready to go.
Any thoughts?
