Well the Steelers signed silverback…kinda shocked me. I figured he would be gone b/c of $ and Woodley would have filled his role. Pretty nice signing bonus too.

How did you figure woodley would take his place? Woodley already starts. They had to sign him. But he will see about 3 years of the 6 in the contract and then get cut. I am sure the salary gets heavy towars the end.

I’d be happy if he lasts 4 more years. Pittsburgh is brutal to their linebackers as they start to get some miles on them. Granted they always seem to get rid of them at the perfect time and you never hear about them doing anything anywhere else they go (minus JP last year), but it’s still hard to see them go. I still miss #55.

JAMES HARRISON. KENT STATE.
lol.
I’ve seen interviews of QB’s where they say that they’re not really AFRAID of any defensive player, but they are TERRIFIED of James Harrison. I love that! 🤣
