Hogs Haven Answers Behind Steel Curtain's Questions
Most of the questions were pretty standard, Campbell, Haynesworth, etc. But the question 'Was Antoine Randle-El worth 31 million dollars over seven years?' stumped me a bit. What is your opinion?

Is he worth $4.4M per year?
Probably not, but he’s not horribly overpaid. Especially if we manage to get him to his natural position in the slot.
It shows a big difference in team strategy what roles they pay and what roles they just try to fill on the cheap. Steelers almost always fill Return spots on the cheap, probably why we are frequently weak there.

Randle-El is signed through 2015
Going to make $5mil next year, 3.8 mil in 2011, 4.2 in 2012…then slight approx $4 the rest of the way out. Not TOO bad.
It’s quite comical that Durant Brooks is costing us $87K against the cap this year.
ummm I would say
imho based on the production received for said contract, no
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
it basically
depends on the organization. The Steelers and Redskins operate on totally different wavelengths. While I really like the way Pittsburgh runs their franchise, they aren’t overly loyal to their veteran players year in and year out. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, but some may. Fan favorites who are still productive end up elsewhere because of this way of doing business.
not true
the Redskins are overly loyal to veteran. Maybe not in the traditional sense, but they do keep them around way too long. It’s mainly because they redo contracts every year, making it hard to cut these guys. That’s why Jansen was just cut this year, and he STILL hurts our cap. But we will be paying for guys like Portis, Samuels, R. Thomas, Griffin, etc, etc, etc, long after they’re gone.
