They can go to him and say we want to cut your salary in half or we're going to release you. If he does, he gets the shot to start at RT and Colon gets a shot at guard. If not, they keep him around long enough to make sure nobody gets hurt, then cut him. Either way, he's making less money this year than $5 million.<br /><br />And no, Colon can't play the left side.Dale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-39878281025807383822011-07-28T23:50:18.322-04:002011-07-28T23:50:18.322-04:00Tim, I prob did overshoot that big time.

Your guess for the line is the same...Also Patrick,<br /><br />Your guess for the line is the same as mine, assuming Starks does not return. But I find it interesting (and not in a good way) that the man that is clearly the worst of the bunch is manning the LT spot. I'd really like to fix that before opening day.<br /><br />Dale,<br /><br />This may just be madness, but could Willie Colon play on the left side? Then we could put Gilbert in at RG and keep more talent on the field and J. Scott as the swing backup. I know he's never done the left side, but he's never done guard either. Is it worth a shot in preseason?Timnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-16174433926730525452011-07-28T23:16:29.064-04:002011-07-28T23:16:29.064-04:00Patrick,

I'm guessing in the high 20s or 30.<br /><br />$9 million per year doesn't sound like much of a hometown discount.Timnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-8616619538602840502011-07-28T21:03:58.617-04:002011-07-28T21:03:58.617-04:00Dale,

It seems unlikely to me that they would allow him to think he has a starting job with them, prepare for camp and then give him boot. Just doesn't seem like the Steelers. <br /><br />My guess for the o-line is?<br /><br />J. Scott - Kemo - Pouncey - Colon - Adams<br /><br />Maybe Starks comes back for the left side at a much better price. Either way, that line is a bit rag tag, but its not bad. <br /><br />Also, any idea what the $$ are for Taylor? My guess is 35 mil +.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725231979706488599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-47153147576447881722011-07-28T18:18:17.902-04:002011-07-28T18:18:17.902-04:00^ That's just wrong.
