Harris: Steelers must realize Taylor's value

Re: Harris: Steelers must realize Taylor's value

Look, we have one huge advantage here. Ike wants to play here. All we have to do is offer fair money. 9-10.5 mil per year for 4-5 years will do it. As long as the bonus isn't crazy, we can cut him when he loses his speed or renegotiate. I'm sure that we never offered him anything close to 10 mil per yet. But, we'll have to if the STeelers want to be competitive this season.

And Ike didn't run a 4.17. Come on. Maybe one stopwatch read that, but no way it was accurate. Ike was a legitimate 4.3-4.4 guy coming out of college, which is great. But, if he ran a real 4.17, the Raiders would have taken him in the 2nd round.

It's really all on Ike what happens. He knows what the Steelers have looming on the horizon with Troy and Timmons. If he wants to get rich and not worry about who else the team signs then he should be gone. he he wants to be a little lesss rich, but very rich anyway, then he will have to settle for something in the $8M range.

It is really all on him because the team is going to do what is best for the team which is far more importnat than one player.
