    eating woodleys cap hit would suck, but theres no sense paying the guy another 8 million next year when he has proven to be lazy, fat and soft.
    agreed. Let's just hope Worilds is around come june 1st to sign.

    Could be, like I said, I'm no expert in the off season signings. But he's only had one productive year and a supposed injury history to boot (I myself am on the fence with that sentiment). I think he tops out at 2.5-3.5/yr imo.

    Well, consider that the Steelers were willing to pay an old, washed-up James Harrison $4-5 million to play this year. You would think that they would value Worilds at least that... and if they're willing to value him at that, you would think that others value him at that and probably more.

    it would be interesting to see the 3-4 teams and their needs at OLB--see what the market dictates.

    It's really too bad that Chris Carter has turned out to be such a bum.

    Are we really still pining for Keenan Lewis people ? He's balling to a degree because he is now motivated by playing for the Saints,... with hopes of being hero for his hometown unit.

    Let's not forget that he was very average at Oregon State and was a 'flyer' pick. And if he had performed up to not only his standard,... but that of our organization,...he would still be here.

    Then again,....perhaps he did not have the special bond with Tomlin that Timmons, and Gay do ? lol

    No no one gives a sh*t about Lewis. We are making the comparison to the Woirlds/Woodley situation and how one player seems ready to take over for the established guy, but the established guy has the big contract. And that will affect us financially on this cap starved team.

    and more specifically how will the FO handle this situation. there are varying opinions on how they handled the Taylor/Lewis situation.

    And with that said,...Woodley was the attempt to Draft a physically prototypical Steeler tweener outside backer like Joey or Gildon after stepping on their ducks with the Tampa 2 Colts reach of Timmons in the first to placate Tomlin. Seemed like the safety valve pick,..but turns out not so much because of his (Woodley's) "Man i shooo just love being relevant as well as cupcakes and Champagne" shenanigans. lol

    Is Worilds really the solution ? And if not,... what is really up for any debate ?
