Ike Taylor's Contract Restructured

With any luck, it's now weighted towards interception-related pay. That way, we either save millions more in cap space, or actually get a turnover out of Ike.

 

I don't think they rewrote his contract, just how the money is paid out.

 

I'd say Freakfontana pretty much called this.

 

unfortunately yes

 

Erm... wasn't entirely a serious comment...

 

$12 mill. against 2014 cap?!?

yowzers!

 

they will restuctured it again probably with an extension , since taylor will end the career here i think

 

I'm surprised anyone bit on that one!

 

...or he gets let go for a cheaper alternative.

Once a vet starts having a huge backended contract the end is near.

 

i didn't made the new count but how much dead money we should eat next season if we release him ?

 

i would extend him at reasonable price , but can go both way

 

anyway we don't have a replacement , so should be an easy choice

 

With Ike's restructure, I wonder if we're getting ready to add someone else?

 

Well... I think it hinges on what Cortez Allen does the rest of this year.

End of last year, Cortez was poised coming into this season to be a potential star in the secondary for us.

If Cortez has a middle of the road season Ike gets resigned. If Cortez has a big second half of the year I think Ike gets let go.

 

and who replace allen , gay ? he is ok at nickel but i would not start a season with gay at number 2

 

i hope they reach an injury settlement agreement with levy brown , 600k to only travel to new york is too much

 

Well Gay is doing pretty well so far... We really haven't had a true #2 corner in awhile, I think Steelers are fine with having at least one solid #1 and then whoever else...

 

I think I'm starting to get sick.

if the doctor that has to evaluate him are the same that were with levy brown , we are dead

 

listen im sure you all know Im willing to sign about anyone but hel even i dont know about signing this guy

 

I don't understand all the "let's get rid of Ike posts" He goes one on one with the best wide receivers the league has to offer. There is no cb in the league where the best WR's don't catch balls against. Yes, he occasionally gets beat, but more often than not he doesn't. Better hands would be great, but that's not who he is and we all know that. If he could catch, he would have been a wr. Right now, we barely have anyone to play on the other side of the field, let alone replace him.

 

i agree ... and i wasn't a taylor big supporter before
