Sounds Like Vince Williams Is Getting Extended

good to hear so we know he is not getting traded..I like him I hope they made a good deal for both sides..

 

Good news. Next, extend DeCastro.

 

We have the best guy in getting us under the cap

 

bon voyage Timmons '17 ???
lets get him another ring
no?

 

The new Chris Hoke

 

That is one problem solved at least.


All that remains is DeCastro.

 

He can start for a year while a young gun takes over. And has the veteran experience. This leaves Timmons outside looking in at this point.

DeCastro should be signed and AB needs a bonus till his monster deal happens next year. And he will get a monster deal.

 

This also marks the beginning of the end for Lawrence "Law Dog" Timmons.



10+ in a Steelers uniform and played 100% of the snap count in 2013. Became a starter in 2009 and was Tomlin's first drafted player.




Thank you for your service Lawrence... you will be gone but never forgotten..

 

I thought for sure DeCastro would be the first to get a extension. Good for Williams though solid player.

 

This signing gives us leverage with LT. If he wants to come back, it is going to take a $$$$ discount.

 

I would have thought Double D would have been the priority here this year? Plug and play guy
since we drafted him and suits up for most all games. Get it done Steelers.

 

Oh he will be. All the best writers be live that deal is coming soon.

 

way to go Vince

 

It has to match Kelechi Osemele's contract bare minimum and DeCastro's agent is more than likely going to not take a dime nor penny less.

 

I still think the deal gets done. The unity on that oline helps to a degree. They really enjoy playing together and hopefully like many that have come before him DD looks at everything when it comes to the Steelers and not just the dollar signs.

 

Timmons is still the top dog untill someone unseats him, williams career stats look puny to me compared to timmons granted VW doesnt have the starts but he still has a way to go to catch up..........

Never said it would not... but it is going to either supercede Osemele's or be right there.

 

Williams was certainly a cheap signing, 3 years 5.5 million and certainly no where close to starter money, here is the breakdown..

I think he's a bargain. I think he's a solid linebacker for this team. Seems to me, whenever he sees the field, he's out there making plays. I referenced that in regards to the last preseason game. Somebody disagreed with me but that's what the board is for. I'm glad to see we've got him locked up.
