    What if he has a Wallace-like attitude? I have no idea if that's the case, but suppose they're two peas in a pod?

    If that's the case, then surely the Steelers will put the hard line through him, then turn around & sign Cortez Allen to an extended contract, even though he'll only be a RFA in 2014.......
    The people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off, why should I?

    Just looking at the responses, it seems we are all quite prepared for A veteran of note to be cut- be it Harrison or Taylor, in order to keep Keenan Lewis.

    Of the available Steelers FA's, it seems we think Ramon Foster might be one of the more affordable & could be retained, but we think Max Starks will prove too expensive.

    Nobody really mentioned Wallace or Mendenhall, so let's assume we think they have already moved out of town.

    Where are we on Larry Foote? Does he come back at a cheap rate, or run out of town?

    Plaxico?

    The only way I see Lewis moving on is if he asks for stupid money. And Foote will be back.
    Trolls are people too.

    The Steelers might need to work hard at him never actually hitting FA, because if he does, 'stupid money' will be where his value sits...

    I'm thinking Foote stays.
    I haven't heard any news about spence, his recovery or anything. Its doubtful they would hand him the job @ ILB with no pro experience, and the other option is sylvester who can't even see the field on account of injuries.
    Larry wants to return, had a decent year, and would be a safeguard until we groom another ILB.

    Actually, I'd be okay with this...

    Chadman suspects that Spence is the guy the Steelers have identified for the future. But Chadman doubts the future is now. Foote will be back.
    The Steelers don't "typically" draft a player to start immediately. You are right about that. With that being said, I disagree with you about Foote. The Steelers would have drafted Hightower last year. He would have started from day 1 over Foote. The Steelers feel Foote is a weakness but is a decent stop-gap. They are looking to replace him and this year might be the year. If it wasn't for DeCastro, Foote would have already been replaced.

    Hmmm....ok, agree that the Steelers will be looking to move on from Foote- he's not the long term answer, but they won't go INTO the draft with Sean Spence pencilled in as the starter. Even if they are going to target an ILB, Chadman still thinks Foote gets re-signed to hold the spot until it's taken from him.
