Woodley is counting $5.6M against the Steelers cap this season and $8.6M next, ....and now the Raiders are feeling the disappointment too:[URL]http://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/nfl-pittsburgh-steelers-news/2014/10/22/7043489/lamarr-woodley-injury-report-details-season-over-end[/URL]

LaMarr Woodley likely out for season with torn biceps

The Oakland Raiders have seen the last of one disappointing free-agent signing this season.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that defensive end LaMarr Woodley suffered a torn biceps muscle in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals, according to a source. His season is believed to be over.

The Raiders gave Woodley a two-year, $12 million contract in March, teaming him with Justin Tuck on a new-look defensive line. Woodley had not made an impact prior to Sunday's injury, registering just five tackles and no sacks in six games.

Raiders coach Tony Sparano told reporters on Wednesday that Woodley had suffered a biceps injury and said that it "could be" serious. Per the Raiders' official depth chart, Woodley's primary backup is Benson Mayowa, a 2013 undrafted free agent.

It's fair to wonder if Woodley has already played his final snap as a Raider. Perhaps we should assume so.

He got fat off of the contracts then lays eggs.

I'm pretty sure the steelers have unused cap space this year that will offset a little of next years cap hit for woodley

There should be WANTED posters out in Pittsburgh of this guy, with all the money he's stolen in the city since 2011.

I find it funny people still think it was injuries that was causing his career to spiral downward. Judging by his play in Oakland, his 0.5 tackles/game average, he's just fat and lazy. Poor offseason worker and James Harrison (likely) called him out on it.

Comparing Allen to Woodley is like comparing a dude who robbed a liquor store to John Dillinger.

Shocking. I thought Woodley's injuries and lack of production were all attributable to him playing in the 3-4. Turns out he still stinks in a 4-3.

Kind of rules out Dick Lebeau as well, doesn't it?

Apparently it wasn't evil Dick LeBeau holding back square peg Woodley by putting him in a round hole. But of course, don't expect apologies from the DL bashing club.

I've been plenty critical of LeBeau, but not for his handling of Woodley. It wasn't LeBeau's fault that Woodley lost interest and got out of shape. That's all on big Dudley.

Fair enough, but our friend Ovi made it pretty clear Woodley was being asked to do things that 'didn't fit his physical build', hence the poor play and frequent injuries.

Woodley as like many, benefited from James Harrison. Woodley I think got complacent later and it has shown in his play and his inability to stay in shape.
