So it would cost us more?

Yea you can be an ass sometimes

I like Wood, but the thing is like everyone else says. He needs to lose weight. I've been saying it for a couple years now that he needed to lose 15-20+ to be quicker and get around the edge faster. Take some martial arts lessons to handcheck better and not get locked up. Worked well for Lloyd

Yeah trade Woodley. That's real bright.

How about out great DC actually do some COACHING and try something new?

Woodley has no explosion in his first step. His hand work is average at best. He is a pure bull rusher, in a league that's adjusted to that type of pass rusher.

His contract is an albatross.

eh, the league is looking for quicker OTs to handle speed rush, theres still a market for woodleys type of player because he can put those guys on their ass

having to play next to hood is ZERO benefit for him though, he was great when smith was there

KEY to DL next year IMO, Heyward 75 Percent of the time at DE, Hood less than 10 Percent at DE.

You don't give 10 million per to guys who need a pro bowler next to them to be good. The Steelers were never dumb enough to spend big dough on their LBers, they constantly replenished and let them walk... but when they finally had a contender, they spent the money to keep it together as long as possible (and rightfully so)... but now we are headed to cap hell because of it.

We are going to lose Wallace and Lewis because we overspent to keep guys like Woodley, who based on nothing more than timing (already locked into long term deals with older defense), should have been let go.

50 million for an oft injured, out of shape, 8-10 sack, one dimensional pass rusher is a horrid contract...
