Colon turns down extra $3 million to stay with Steelers
Thursday, July 28, 2011
By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Before he could jump in the shower and head to Latrobe, offensive tackle Willie Colon was jumping for joy after agreeing to a five-year contract with the Steelers for $29 million this evening.

"I'm happy ... I could not see leaving," Colon said. "My happiness is in that room and with coach [Sean] Kugler.''

That room would be the one where line coach Sean Kugler gathers together his players for meetings, and they will be rejoined by another key member. Jonathan Scott, who started at left tackle after Max Starks' neck injury last November, also came to terms with the team this evening on a two-year contract.

Colon, who missed last season with an achilles injury after starting the previous three years at right tackle, said he accepted $3 million less over the life of the contract from the Steelers than what the Chicago Bears had offered him to join them.

"I know what I got in that room and on that team," Colon explained. "My happiness means more to me."

It remains to be seen what now will become of 36-year-old tackle Flozell Adams, who reported to training camp on time. He has a $5 million salary and the Steelers would like to reduce that. Adams signed last summer and took over at right tackle for Colon, whose achilles was ruptured in June. Colon likely will be returned to start at right tackle.

At 36, it's doubtful the Steelers would move Adams to left tackle.

Sanders ran with emotion, just didn't jump and shout at the end of his run.

I never said he didn't run with emotion,,but his actions after the play was over you couldn't tell if he even cared,he was a machine out there on the field run a play rerturn to the huddle,,,he just never showed any ecitement while he played,even his interveiws were bland,,,,,,doesn't change the fact that we will never see another RB like him in our lifetimes,,,,,,,,,

Source: Starks could re-sign with Steelers
Thursday, July 28, 2011
By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Max Starks, released by the Steelers earlier today to help create salary cap room, could be re-signed by them before the end of training camp, sources told the Post-Gazette.

Starks, who has has been a starter at tackle since his second season in 2005, counted more than $7 million on their salary cap, which was estimated to be more than $10 million above the limit this year. He started the past three seasons at left tackle on offense following two years at right tackle.

However, his season ended last November when he required neck surgery and he has had trouble getting his weight down this year.

The Steelers started their first day of training camp by releasing Starks and veteran wide receiver Antwaan Randle El.

Randle El left the Steelers as a free agent after the 2005 season but returned last season. He was quickly surpassed as their No. 3 receiver by rookie Emmanuel Sanders and then bypassed as No. 4 by rookie Antonioe Brown. He caught 22 passes last season and completed two pass attempts, both for touchdown

Good news everyone! The latest nasa satellite data confirms that global warming is a myth!
of coarse smart people know that the earth is coming out of an ice age that carved out the great lakes, and a mini ice age that froze new york in the 1800's
