Woodley deserves the big bucks

LaMarr Woodley is proof that there's value in keeping your yap shut and just doing the job you‘re paid to do.

Last summer at training camp, Woodley could have easily bickered about his contract. He was vastly underpaid in 2009 when he led the Steelers in sacks. He was going to be underpaid again in 2010. And the Steelers hadn't offered him an extension like they've done to so many of their stars in recent years.

This is what makes him even better than he is on the field.

Good for him. His patience has paid off. If anyone deserves such a raise, it's him.



AMEN. :thumbsup: :applaudit:

Exactly

I really hope they get a deal done soon with him. I don't want to lose Ike or someone else because of WOodley

I love Woodley and unlike several on here I think he has proved that he deserves the big bucks and has been a consistent player season after season even if his sacks don't all come every game he is a beast on the outside and not many running backs made a difference when he was on the field, but of course the deal needs to work out so that Ike and Wood can be signed.

Sign long term deal with some heavier bonuses in the later years. Thinking like a 4 year 36Mil, with 7mil this year, 8 the next.
