Either way...I still want Victor Butler signed here and Harrison's replacement.

I think all of us would want that, but do the Steelers want that or are they playing mind games with Jason Worlids. I don't think they have to though, Jason has plenty of motivation for this coming year, the contract and maybe lack of faith by some if he can do the job.
I'm thinking Worlids will be our Starting OLB opposite Woodley when the bell rings. Now after that its up to him to retain that spot, players like Butler could push him.

That's what worries me...is that they are have tunnel vision towards Worilds and probably won't sign Butler..I would feel more comfortable with Butler starting over Worilds. Never liked that pick...but that's just me.

Based on Worlids limited play it would be tough for me to evaluate him until I see him play a season. What he has going for him now is his 3 years with the team having some grasp of the LeBeau defense.
Instead of thinking what to do he now should be able to play faster, but he has to improve stopping the run on the edge , maybe playing time will improve that part of his game.

As Tomlin would say, maybe it's the flavor of the month.

From what I understand he has has shown flashes.....just like Worilds has.

Has he had a problem staying healthy, as Worilds has?

He's missed 6 games in 3 years.
2 games a year.
But yes, it's always smarter to sign another teams unknown freeagent.
I mean it's the Steeler way
