Worst decision ever, if it happens. For 12 million you can have Justin Houston, and we KNOW he is awesome.

 

that still doesn't compare to starks being a better LT as you say he would have been shot for. starks was never in the top half of tackles in the league , ever. beachum has done quite a good job for us compared to starks. his cost to the team is by far lower than starks also. let's figure the sacks per dollar bill spent. big difference. a couple of his sacks given him this year were also iffy as to being the culprit. make no mistake we are in far better shape at that spot then we have been in years under starks.

 

let's get back to the topic ...NO WORILDS TAG please

 

The Steelers aren't going after Justin Houston geez, they will re-sign Ben and maybe Heyward. Where in the heck are they going to get that money in free agency to spend on a player like Houston?

 

Let Worlds walk! Cut some veterans like Troy, Ike, Kiesel.

 

well while i think houston is a lot better of worilds , the tag is 12 milion for one year , houston could want 12 milion a year for five years with a big sb ..anyway i would spend money for houston , not for worilds

 

I'd rather sign Worilds to a fair market contract than Houston. Should be a significant savings (at least $2-3mil) and signing FA's to big money scares me because:

1) You never know how they'll do anywhere else but "home"
2) You never know how they'll do after their first big pay day.

Houston is the sexy pick, but Worilds is a lot more sensible, and he's ours.

Would still prefer to sign Moats to a very reasonable offer than sign either Worilds or Houston, but if I had to choose between Worilds and Houston, I pick Worilds assuming he comes quite a bit cheaper.

 

He's not ours yet! And I would much rather take a chance on a proven guy than Worilds, who has had a lot of chances to prove himself, and hasn't.

 

And don't forget Mike Adams.

 

Ben probably calls him Mike Gilbert and probably calls Marcus Gilbert Marcus Adams.

 

Houston has proven nothing here, while Worilds had a great run last year and was our most dynamic pass rusher this year while also spending plenty of time in coverage. I think he has proven a lot during his limited playing time here and deserves a fair long term contract offer from us. $6-7mil/year for Worilds for me is a lot more sensible than $10-12mil/year for Houston.

Teams don't see much success by dumping their own talented guys in favor of high-priced free agents. Worilds is home-grown so let's try to keep him here at a rate that benefits both parties. I think we see much more production from him next year playing behind a seasoned Tuitt rather than Cam Thomas.

 

are you happy with worilds pass rush ? against the rats was pushing everywhere , not to mention he needs 3 months in the season to just call his name .. if i have to spend money i will look somewhere else

 

First, I would re-sign Moats so we have a back-up plan. Plus he's a good player and we wouldn't be at the mercy of Worilds demands. I'd offer Worilds 6-7 mill and see how he responds. Throw in an incentive for sacks if he balks. Butler said he wants to drop the OLBs in coverage less, which might entice him to stay.

Oh yea, and draft an OLB in the first two rounds too!!
