Steelers to release Woodley

LaMarr Woodley to be released by Pittsburgh Steelers - NFL.com

Woodley will be designated a post-June 1 cut, allowing the Steelers to spread the salary-cap hit over two years. Now the No. 1 outside linebacker on the open market, Woodley will be free to sign with another team at the start of free agency Tuesday.

After totaling 35 sacks from 2008-'10, Woodley managed just half that number over the past three seasons since signing his lucrative extension. Battling multiple hamstring injuries, Woodley was heavily criticized in Pittsburgh for failing to keep himself in football shape.

There's just no excuse for not keeping yourself in football shape. This is your JOB!

In that respect he had that in common with Albert Haynesworth who literally ate himself out of the NFL.

When he wanted to be, yeah. He was lights out until he got that fat contract then decided to let his ego go to his head, working out was for other people, etc.

Way to ruin your NFL career.

I have a buddy who's a Steelers fan who says he wouldn't mind seeing LaMarr Woodley in a Steelers uniform one more time. Wouldn't it be something to see him and James Harrison reunited back there?
