With Lamarr Woodley not receiving a new contract this season as well as Darrelle Revis, the Steelers could be posed with an interesting scenario.
Both players are respectively one of the youngest “up and coming” stars in the National Football League (NFL) and both will be commanding huge, long-term contracts. This begs the question that if the Steelers can afford extending Woodley then can’t they afford to sign Revis instead?
The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a history of developing great outside linebackers. However, they haven’t been as lucky in developing top tier cornerbacks. Revis is a gem and quite possible one of the best all around defensive players in the league. Revis is being compared to a young Champ Bailey, a true lock down which many “experts” say cannot exist in today’s pass happy NFL.
With that being said, which player would you rather have? If the Steelers could sign either player based on their current status and contract demands, would you choose Revis or Woodley?
