bince is back

[LeXX75]

• Steelers re-signed ILB Vince Williams.​

  Williams was released in a cap move to clear $4 million last month, but he's coming back despite getting some interest outside of Pittsburgh. 31-year-old Williams has spent his entire eight-year career with the Steelers and played 65% of the defensive snaps last season as a thumper inside.

Well, that is good news for running downs at least. Welcome back Vince!

It saved $4 million and now they will be paying him again so it won't save $4 million. How much is he getting? Good move though especially since it seems Dulac from the PG might be correct when he said he severely doubts Williamson will be coming back.

It definitely helps, our depth is almost non existent at ILB and who knows if Spillane would or is capable as a starting buck lb. We would have most assuredly signed someone and/or drafted someone probably before round four was over. We have so many needs, this eliminates a frantic pick that could be at the expense of a better athlete somewhere else.

Why do people call him Bince? I never got that.

And there was much rejoice

he started calling himself that during the Killer B era

it goes back to the whole killer B's thing that he wanted to be a part of.

I like Vince...but its seems that his played has declined..

This also puts a damper on us drafting Zaven Collins.

Not a big hooray moment from my perspective.

I hope that doesn't count Avery out.

we can target ILB that could be there in rnd 4-5 Moses hoping he falls both buckeye ILB Fields11, Stuard Mcgrone (played with Bush athletic to drop hard hitter just like bush.

Signing him has no bearing on if we draft Collins or not. If they like Collins enough to take him then they will draft him and not have to depend on him starting. I personally would like to see them draft another position of need in the 1st but Collins wouldn’t be bad either.

I think fans and Steelers blog writers were higher on drafting an ILB more than the team.

I hear yaz steel dino but it also would stop the Avery signing and I think Avery would be an upgrade over Bince. Bince is to slow and Spillane can thump just as well so if Avery is odd man out then we lose or decline in ability vs signing Bince.

I'm not so sure Collins was in the mix in the draft due to to many needs and this allows them to address elsewhere needs. NOT saying Collins won't be drafted or shouldn't be but if Bince/Avery are brought back then Collins is less likely to be drafted. Any other year but this one.



Salute the nation

Small school ILB + 1st round= it wouldn't happen anyway

 

[steelhurt]

Hmm! I was hoping on resigning Avery Williamson but I guess that’s out now. I like Bince but think Avery would have made more sense imo.

move pushes ILB to mid- late rounds several thumpers who run subpat 4.6 should be there in rnd 4-6 as we need to get by need and bpa in this order

Maybe the pecking order if value is there. although we could debate CB bring higher on the list. But a CB, pass rusher, T, and outside chance of QB in 1 can rear their ugly head if BPA says otherwise.

We need a Center!

Me either...
