Well he's improved every year, had to play through injuries last season but did a solid job. So fain preseason he has looked very good. I wouldn't doubt Munchak could get the best out of him. Mike Munchak does not have a successful tenure as an offensive line coach. He inherited Michael Roos and David Stewart, two high draft picks that were already stars who developed into superstars. He also got credit for the end of Kevin Mawae's career. He's never built anyone into a star before. He has an amazingly successful HOF career as a guard, but he isn't the motivator and talent cultivator you think he is. Don't get me wrong, he's a good position coach and you should be glad to have him, but him doing the job in no way should be a sign that your line will automatically step up its performance. And I also don't think paying 5 mil per year for a guy who needs to improve and show he can stay healthy is reasonable. However, I love that it's a contract at age 26, because you are locking down a starter in his prime with a team that doesn't seem cap strapped. So yeah, it's an okay signing but I say slightly overpaid. I thought he turned some low round picks into solid players? I know I've seen a noticeable difference in his play so far this year.

Sean Spence reportedly does NOT need surgery for his injured knee. Phew. Dodged a bullet there.

Never thought Dangerfield had a chance even though he played well, they're just short in other areas to keep more safeties than they need. He could still make it on the practice squad, but I have a feeling they released him early so he had a chance with another team, possibly the same with So'oto. I would think Carter would nearly be a lock to be the last OLB.

Steelers place LB Jordan Zumwalt on IR and claim CB B.W. Webb off of waivers from the Cowboys. Cool they don't have to use a practice squad spot on Zumwalt. And B.W. Webb was a player that the Steelers were interested in, and I was hoping they would have drafted. More of a slot corner, I wonder why the Cowboys cut him, and who get's cut to make room for him.
