James Harrison CUT!

Hate it but understand it. He is a shell of what he was. Tackels use to hold him almost every play. Last year he was probably the easiest to block

 

steelers wanted to cut the 7,5 base salary in 4 milion , a straight 3,5 milion pay cut

 

I think Lewis is a done deal to get a pretty big contract. But IF he takes a higher offer do you think Harrison would be brought back and still get a pay cut just not as much of one? Or do you think all of this money is going to Lewis?

 

I'd hate to break the bank on one player (Woodley?) or anyone else for that matter! These salaries are getting out of hand

 

That 5th was the Steal of the Century

 

I'm gonna miss him but it was time. Throw that money at Lewis.

 

Yup...when word got out they were just going to cut him....that screw any leverage they had.

 

Anyways...thanks for the memories and all your hard work Harrison! Another in the great line of Steelers LBs!

 

we need money to tender some rfa and sign draft picks

 

I'll bet Woodley is laughing all the way to the bank

 

Why would Woodley be happy that his teammate just got cut

 

this move had to be done! God Bless whomever had the balls to make this decision!!

 

I seriously hate to read this. James was what the Steelers should always be about. It like when Peezy left. I'll bet Cleveland is very happy to see him gone.​

 

cuz he made a killin on his contract

 

I think every member of the team is going to have to take a good look at their own contracts and see how secure they feel. Harrison is just the latest in line to pay the price for the front office continuing to make bad desisions on player contracts. They over pay mediocre players or make big money deals with little regard to future impact and then instead of honoring a contract negoiated in good faith they tell the player take a pay cut or be cut your choice. Sets a bad precedent and makes it difficult to plan for future success if they continue to have to restructure or cut veterans in order to get under the cap.

 

for that they shouldn't restructure woodley , they already gave him too much money

 

One has nothing todo with the other, and when the Steelers feel as tho Woodley is not worth the $ they will cut his ass to

http://www.steelersdepot.com/2013/03/james-harrison-turned-down-30-pay-cut-from-steelers/ this sounds more real

 

MY point was I'll bet he's glad he already got his money before the proverbial axe started falling!

 

Its funny how everyone is now on woodleys case. I remember saying when he signed his deal i didnt like it. Everyone jumped on me for it. I wasnt saying i didnt want him back. Just thougbt it was to much. Now i will admit i didnt think he would fall off like he has but thought he might slow down. All things considered james had to leave and lamar had to get paid. I am glad i dont make these decisions or i would try and keep all of them

 

Me too! I'll just sit in front of the boob tube and watch whoever thay put on the field!
