Will Farrior be Next?

Re: Will Farrior be Next?

He is one of my all time favorite Steelers. I get the age and production drop thing, but it will be a sad day when he is gone.

I'll still wear his jersey on game days.

It's Farrior or Foote and I thought Farrior would get the nod but I guess not.

How much younger and cheaper is Foote?

Foote's 31 and Farrior is 37.

I believe Foote actually was due to make more than Farrior this year, actually ($3 million vs. $2.85, if I recall correctly).

Sadly, Farrior in the last quarter of the past two seasons faded badly. Sixteen games takes a toll even on young guys and it was clear more than a few times Farrior was at least two steps too slow to the play.

This may be a 'soft rebuild' season for the Steelers, so I expect some very uneven play early in the season.
