Friday, Pittsburgh Steelers LB Bud Dupree filed a grievance with the NFLPA over his designated position on his franchise tag.

#Steelers pass-rusher Bud Dupree has filed a grievance with hopes that he’ll be paid as a defensive end rather than a LB, I’m told. Similar to Shaq Barrett. While there is still some time to work something out, the sides are not close on a deal.

Dupree’s argument will be that he plays on the edge and from a down position so much that he technically should be labeled a defensive end. If Dupree wins his argument, he will get an extra 2 million added to the 15.8 million dollar tag that he’s scheduled to play under in 2020 already.

Do you think Dupree should get the extra money? Let us know in the comments below.
