Dont let him walk for free. You can pay him for one year then move on. I think this will be Dick Lebeaus swan song(last year). Who will Tomlin want as a Dc when Lebeau Retires?

I say no to both. Hampton is getting older and slowing down in addition to the fact he shows up to camp overweight and unable to perform at high level. These guys are being paid millions to play the game they love and stay in game shape. Many would take their spot. Jeff Reed is drinking himself out of Pittsburgh and is detrimental to the team with respect to his brutal kickoffs. Yes he can kick field goals but I see this slowly declining. I say no to both.

Typically your back up needs to either be a little like your starter or be a lightning to thunder. Neither of these apply for the Steelers. Fwp is no longer that home run threat. On top of that he doesn't catch the ball or pick up the blitz at all. Two things your back up absolutely has to be able to do. Steeler fans stop living in the past with Willie. Thank him for the years he was here and move on. Why does everyone want fwp back for bench duty. Typically your back up needs to either be a little like your starter or be a lightning to thunder.

Casey's age and his wanting and willingness to remain the long time under rated mainstay of the defensive line makes it unnecessary. Reed is needed due to his ability to make the difficult kicks at Hienze. I look more at the possibility of either Eason or Kirschke being of more concern.

He can't tackle to save his life and can only reach the end zone if there is a penalty on the kick. I agree Reed needs to go or be limited to field goals.

I think the troll (jeff reed) can be replaced... I'd love to have FWP back but he's gonna want more playing time, then 5-10 carries a game behind Mendy... & if BA is OC again, that won't happen, Mendy will be lucky to get 20 carries a game...Ty carter needs to be GONE, & Clark, is more injury prone then Troy P & can't tackle very well, all he knows is how to hit people...
