    People can criticize the Steelers all they want, I'm sure this will upset some fans but SD are morons for paying him that much.

    He had a decent year in 14 playing in 14 games with only 6 starts, but 13 wasnt a good year for him, a little injury prone I guess...

    I could care less about Robinson, but the FO must feel comfortable with the draft depth for CB and OLB. Looks like they'll be headed to the draft with 2 vey glaring needs. Would have prefered one was addressed via FA, so they don't have to be perfect in the draft. Unless they still have something up their sleeves.

    I think they would have but as SD showed, teams are stupid. McCain was over paid too. Last season seemed to be the opposite, teams weren't over paying, this season they are. Go figure.

    I wouldn't say cheap, I would say teams like SD, washington, Miami etc... are over paying average players, now the really good ones will be looking at this and will be asking for $4 - $5 million. These idiot teams who are going nowhere are raising the asking prices.

    Yeah I wouldnt have paid 3m for him...I would have rather paid McCain that then bring in someone from outside the system and pay that much (not saying i really would give mccain 3m, but just making a point).

    Maybe the Steelers should consider trading for a veteran corner. Obviously not someone that is elite or expensive, but I am sure there is a $1-3 million CB out there that a team would be willing to deal for a 5th or 6th round pick. Perhaps even consider dealing one of our over abundant ILBs (Williams if he has value to a team).

    I am not sure we can fix both the OLB as well as the secondary positions all at once in the draft alone.

    On another note, if there was a team willing to deal either a proven OLB or CB who was youngish for a 1st round pick, would you take the deal for the proven player or take a chance on a draft prospect?

    Probably because the jump in the cap. I too prefer they don't fall for that trap.

    McCain was overpaid? I don't think so. Played quite well when called upon. I was hoping that McCain would have been back. But that's just me. Better hope Ol' Meltdown comes around. They will draft a corner 1st or 2nd. And hopefully Butler gets him on the field. Right away.
