Ryan Clark spends day visiting with Dolphins, re-signs with Steelers

This is a business and ultimately you have no one to answer to other than yourself and your family. If Clark was happier staying in cold ass “Steelerville” as opposed to South Beach, hey more power to him. He didn’t owe the Steelers anything and he damn sure didn’t owe us anything. I would have personally liked to have had him if the price was cheap…….but it didn’t work out.

Now we move ahead and possilbly try to sign Atowge or Sharper for a good price. If that doesn’t work, then draft an impact FS from the draft. It’s not the end of the world. We have enough holes to fill on defense that we can basically close our eyes, point our fingers, and come up with a position that needs upgrading!

I agree with J williams…but I would trade number 1 pick for brandon marshall in a heart beat…then I would draft NT with second rounder….plus we need to make play for Agtogwe

I am all in favor of releasing him, trying to find or draft someone better, and if not, then resign him for a much lower price tag. Believe me, our defense will have a hard time being worse than the one we fielded last year! Read again….we were 30th ranked in scoring defense! What does that mean? Only the LIONS and RAMS were worse!

I don’t want to hear about YPG and that crap. Yards are the measurement by which defenses are legitimately graded….it’s points and we sucked. So why should we keep weaknesses from that sorry squad when the price tag was way above what they warranted??

I mean really…..if you had your own company and an employee wasn’t very good at all in regards to what he was doing, would you keep over paying for that bad quality or would you go else where? Companies do it all the time, they fire someone and will go short staffed or use temp fill ins at a substantially reduced salary vice overpay simply to have someone.

This isn’t the first time the Trifecta has released a high-priced veteran so that the young players can take over. These guys have made it clear that there must be a significant difference between a highly-paid vet and a developing young guy to justify keeping the vet, and there simply wasn’t enough of a difference here. Remember them releasing Eric Green last year? That automatically put a rookie (!) into the starting role! There just wasn’t enough of a performance difference to justify stunting a young player’s development.

My guess is, they felt the same way about Clark, or they would have offered more.

Bringing in or scaring away?

I just don’t know what his asking price is….anyone have a clue? I also like the idea of Earl Thomas as well…..assuming Berry is gone (which is virtually a sure thing)
