Steelers sign Worilds to 1 year deal...9.7 mill

[K Train]

I don't bet cash, but I'll bet you .1 of a bitcoin they do

I'll do that

[SteelerOfDeVille]

im taking 1 year 10 million over a low ball offer over 5 years every time if im worilds.....he will never make 10 mil over the course of any one season and he can cash in next season on a long term deal because he'll only be what? 26?

You guys are missing the bus. He'd likely make more than $10 million by simply signing a long-term deal. Somthing simple like, 5 years, $30 million with a $12 million signing bonus gives him the $12 million + his salary THIS year. He'd stand to make closer to $15 million THIS year, AND guarantee himself $30 million over the long haul, instead of risking that he makes nothing else (i.e., long-term injury this year).

You'd take that in a heartbeat, if you're Worilds.

[sick beats]

Knee Jerk reactions all around!
We've already started working on an extension. Transition tag just gives the team the opportunity to not lose Jason without a fight.
i don't know if I want to go past page one of this thread.
EVERY YEAR WE HAVE 100 POSTERS WHO FLIP OUT ABOUT SOMETHING TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. THIS IS THIS YEARS VERSION.

I don't think there is even 100 active posters in this whole board. I don't see many posters freaking out.

What are we going to do about depth now? What if Worilds gets hurt? Or what if Jarvis is still a 1-sack/year man? What is our contingency? I hope to god we aren't going in thinking CRIS effen Carter is a viable back-up? And since it seems apparent to anyone paying attention, that we need to bring in a starter quality back-up via the Draft, why wouldn't we just draft a young guy and have a short-term guy as our contingency (e.g. Woodley, Shaun Phillips).

I mean, aren't we going to have to bring in a young guy in any case?

What is really frightening is Chris Carter and Jarvis Jones may end up being almost equal. Would love to add Trent Murphy in round 2

You are horribly down on jones arent you?

Yup. To many posters, any Steeler that isn't All-Pro in year one is automatically a bust...

Polamalu, Heyward, DeCastro...and now Jones...

[K Train]

Its a shame, Jones was a complete stud in college and while that doesnt automatically translate to the pros the concept of "thinking rather than reacting" holds true for many many rookies. Game will slow down. Jones did some good things last year, he set the edge better than expected, and was not nearly as horrible as some make him out to be.

He will not be chris carter, thats absurd

I thought JONES was going to be a bust from Day 1, so his rookie season wasn't a surprise to me

Jones made some plays in pre-season and early in the year because he was reacting. Unfortunately teams used that to draw him out of position and give up big plays. Then he started thinking and his production went down. I agree that the game will slow down for him and he will go back to using his instincts to react instead of think. The difference being that now he will have learned not to move out of position. I still think Jones will be an excellent linebacker for us. I am a big believer of tape over measurables and Jones put together some awesome film in his college career.

I hope he is the next Kevin Greene but I just have this nagging suspicion he may be the first Roind 1 pick we have missed on in a long time. I just don't see the explosiveness and power we typically have in that position.

Worilds had to get stronger but he always seemed to have the speed and explosiveness off the edge. I just don't see that yet in Jones

why isnt it fair to call jones(or any other player a bust) after one year if they performed at a bust level that first year?
sure seems a lot more accurate and sensible then saying he's great or gonna be great after a terrible first year.

because career's aren't made in the first year...

was Troy a bust?

But with Troy you always saw off the charts physical abilities so you always knew the potential greatness was coming. Do you see that with Jones? I don't

You can call him whatever you want...but, that doesn't make it correct...
