      @@yeahhdatsm the first time he was asked to take a pay cut to get under the cap. He refused. Went to Cincinnati for less then came back to the Steelers for less than what they originally offered. The second time he asked to be released. It was time because he was ineffective in the SB with NE.

    Man he didn’t really start until late in his 20’s and he still got the Steelers sack record 😬, imagine him playing from the beginning, he would easily be over the 100 sack mark
