He's likely asking too much money for the injury risk he provides.<br /><br />Heyward-Bey was a low-cost depth signing. If it works out, great. If not, nothing lost.<br /><br />And Verner absolutely didn't fit the scheme. That "interest" in him by the Steelers was all agent talk.<br /><br />Verner was such a stud corner, the team he was with didn't want to keep him. If he were truly a stud, don't you think Tennessee would have wanted to retain his services?<br />Dale Lolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089003781188560287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-39773038111143047192014-04-03T09:37:02.407-04:002014-04-03T09:37:02.407-04:00Not to mention Verner is a Cover 2 guy and small. ...Not to mention Verner is a Cover 2 guy and small.

They could have either afforded Cotchery and Woods, or signed an actual impact player like Alterraun Verner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-69342626947971330352014-04-02T21:01:14.597-04:002014-04-02T21:01:14.597-04:00I like what the Steelers have done this off season...I like what the Steelers have done this off season. There have been some comments regarding missing on draft picks or the inability to resign some of their own players. While there may be some truth to that, it doesn’t matter, water under the bridge. The Steelers are making an effort to plug the holes with low cost players. I like that better than doing nothing. The knock on Bey has been “hands of stone” and if the Steelers couldn’t fix Sweed, I’m not sure how much luck they’ll have with Bey. But he’ll probably be the 4th or 5th receiver, so there’s not much risk if he doesn’t pan out. If some of these free agents do work out, it may be enough to get the Steelers back to the playoffs, so I commend the front office for making an effort.<br /><br />@datruth4life<br /><br />I give you credit for going all 7 rounds. However, most of the so called experts can't even get the first round right, so it will take some luck and agreement by the Steelers to get your picks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-69898659729830878922014-04-02T17:51:14.317-04:002014-04-02T17:51:14.317-04:001 – ILB R.
