Steelers 2nd rounder LaMarr Woodley, famous for getting lost on the streets of Pittsburgh, has signed a 4-year deal with the team. Terms were not released.
Wood’s signing means that only 1st rounder Lawrence Timmons, TE Matt Spaeth and Cornerback William Gay are the last remaining draft picks to sign. A deal with Spaeth is being worked out, and Timmons is also optimistic.
Woodley is stepping into some big shoes. Not only is he switching over from defensive end to outside linebacker, but he also took over Joey Porter’s number 55. PSaMP likes the ballsy decision.
Also, with the Woodley announcement coming today, there is hope that early reports of a Polamalu deal are true. Apparently, the Steelers wanted to keep the Woodley and Polamalu announcements separate so that both got the respect/publicity due.
