Jason Worilds- Does he stay or does he go?

For nano second Worilds helmet is in the neck area.....

Only because Ryan's head snapped forward...

Heck, Worilds was looking *straight* all the time. Classic technique, text book.
Guess they have to rewrite the textbooks now.

Does Worilds stay or go? It all depends on the money he wants. If he wants star money, he's gone. If he'll be content with a more reasonable deal, he might get to stay. He's not worth his current salary, that's for sure.

You're assuming that there will be (star money) suitors. I don't see it.

He will certainly still get a good deal from someone... I think he will get offers probably 20-30% less than he made this year. In that case, I would stay say auf wiedersehen to him. The guy is not appreciably better than Moats, who we can have at half the price.

The thing with Worilds is that he is not a playmaker. In other words, he doesn't step up when you need him most, he doesn't set a tone, etc. He is good... when the rest of the team is playing good. He's that kind of player.

He got robbed on that play. We all did. There should be a background investigation of that Ref, test for LSD, how much time he spends with bookies, etc. That was just wrong. How is that tackle by Worilds against the rules?

He hit him too hard, you have to flag that tackle in today's NFL.

Watching the game I wondered if he was concussed from the way he got up, and watching that bounce on the turf in the vid above makes me think he probably was.

I was thinking at the time they should take him off and do neuro tests, but no, just throw a flag.

we'll free up $10 million if we don't re-sign Worilds plus the cap will rise next year...

Worilds isn't currently on the books for next year, so no money is freed up.

Not sure how the Worilds thing will play out. I doubt the Steelers overpay him, I'm not convinced there isn't a team out there that will overpay him.

If they can retain Moats, and either draft a rookie or perhaps contemplate moving Shazier outside, the Steelers could pick up an OLB like Ahmad Brooks from the 49ers (who are going to need to release players, let alone re-sign players, to a cap friendly deal. He's not a 'great' OLB, but he brings attitude & plays his responsibilities well. And at 30ish, he gives the Steelers a year or 2 to develop another OLB to replace him.

I'm not 100% comfortable with Moats starting, but in a rotation, he's very valuable.

I'm in favour of moving Shazier outside, a la Chad Brown of the past, to let his speed & athletisism be taken advantage of. Vince Williams/Sean Spence can handle the ILB duties.

semantics.

this year we are paying Worilds almost $10 million and next year we won't be which frees up the almost $10 million to be spent elsewhere...
