    a Three year deal? hopefully there is very little guaranteed.
    2013 Draft
    1 Ezekial Ansah OLB BYU 6’5 271 (sky high potential)
    2 Khaseem Greene ILB Rutgers 6’1 241 (cat quick, explosive hitter)
    3 Steadman Bailey WR WVU 5’10 193 (fantastic route runner)
    4 Le’Veon Bell RB Michigan St 6’1 230 (Good fit for zone scheme)
    5 J. J. Wilcox SS Ga Southern 6’ 213 (athletic, fluid in coverage)
    6 Omoregie Uzzi OG Georgia Tech 6’3 302 (quick, zone gem)
    7 Micah Hyde CB Iowa 6’ 197 (rangy corner with speed)
    7 Vinston Painter OT Virginia Tech 6’4 305 (athletic OL project)

    Good for Larry, he doesn't get the death sentence to AZ.

    3 years... Let's start our recruiting in retirement homes.

    Tomlin has to at least cling to some of Cowher's players. He has little to none of his own players that can replace them.

    The Steelers probably had to give Foote some sort of bonus to keep him from going to AZ, and the length of the deal could have been for purposes of spreading the cap hit.

    The Steelers did not over pay...

    We have no depth at ILB...gotta have somebody, and everyones
    Favorite back up, Sylvester, is gone...

    Its a good move as a backup..

    Yes, if the intent is to have him for depth. Otherwise this smacks in the face of what Colbert said about expecting a different result than 8-8 with the same guys.

    Safe to say the 3rd year is just a year to carry the signing bonus. Can't wait to see the numbers.
