Hi rocco

Who? He's never coming back! Never!

"A lot"

Enough to pay his lawyer?

Traffic cone #1 come on down? Patrick Robinson finally making an official visit this weekend.

[Idoit40fans]

I like deangelo Williams. I think carolina really misused him in his time there. Wish we could have gotten his 2010 self but I'll take him as a #2.

Yep, i dont know what they were doing but after that one big year they should have leaned on him more. He basically split carries with stewart for a while. Im not sure what he has left, but he will definitely be helpful early on.

I've got to run the LGP Mock Draft (starting on Monday).

He was better on inside than outside last season, but he would definitely be an upgrade for the Steelers.

[Rocco]

Wait, that's even a question?

[FreeCandy44]

Ben 5 years 99 million. Could go to 108....

[Troy Loney]

I think we all know how troy loney feels.

I'm just happy that he's only the second highest paid player in the NFL. That way they can definitely fill all the other holes on the roster.

[Dickie Dunn]

Opens up a little over a million in cap space for this season, but I look forward to seeing how the Steelers restructure this deal in 2 years to kick the cap hit further down the road.

It beats the alternative of having lots of cap room and a gaping hole at QB.

[Dickie Dunn]

No doubt. I have no issues with the deal.

4-12 season

Right. The main issue with the team was their reluctance to part with pieces back around like 2010 and 2011. It was like they finally discovered cap circumvention and completely forgot why it was a good thing for them to limit that practice in the past.

The problem is how to deal with major depth issues and replace pieces on defense.

[Dickie Dunn]

It'd be really nice to have the $8.58 million in cap space that Lamarr Woodley will be taking up this season. Six percent of the cap going to that slug really sucks.

Had Arizona not signed him, I was hoping the Steelers would bring him back just for the humor of paying him the league minimum while he counted for $8.5M in dead money. Alas.

Not surprising but the Steelers were 4th in failed completion percentage by their offense. Shows what the stat nerds know- Todd Haley regards every 1 yard pass as a victory.

[Froggy]

not for nothing, but we did have the league leader in passing yards at qb, as well as a top 3 RB and WR. are we really sure that haley is incompetant?

[Crankshaft]

It's hard to **** up Ben, Brown and Bell, though...and he's done it at times.

Incompetent? No. But he loves his sideways passes.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Steelers sign Harrison to 2 year deal.

[Crankshaft]

A 2 year deal? The guy was retired last season.

I'm not sure that even Jacksonville would offer him a contract.

[FreeCandy44]

Jarvis Jones must be really bad.
