Big Al Signs with Rats

Thank you for your time as a Steeler Al. I hope you play as well for the Ravens as you did for the Steelers the last two years.
Reread my post. It wasn't an endorsement of his play the last two years. lol

Loved the guy and fully respect and honor his service to the country. I also appreciated his years in the 'Burgh. But frankly, he's gotten gradually softer & softer past few seasons. He can go play patty cakes with defenders for the Ravens for $14M. Good luck, Alejandro!
The thing about signing after the draft means no compensation pick is bunk. Rats played that game. Steelers probably get a 6th but for that rule. They already have a 3rd for Dupree and 4th for Hilton.

TJ is gonna shred him.
Good health Al, and I hope you play well. But I also hope you have a miserable experience losing the next 34 games.

Lol seriously though, thanks for your all your hard work and dedication to the Steelers, Al, and of course, thank you for your service to this great nation. I hope you continue to enjoy a fulfilling career...well, with the exception of two particular games a year, of course

For 2 years 14 million I would have brought him back. He’s worth damn near that on leadership alone.
I will wish him success 14 games a year.

I don't know, if leadership plays below the line, what is it leading. They couldn't run left if their lives depended upon it and he got beat enough on pass rushes. I think he was self made with help from Munchak. When Munch left and dipshit took over he was kinda sunk. Maybe better coaching will help him.
Big Al did this team and this country well. Wish him nothing but the best outside of playing the Steelers.

He’s a middle of the pack LT but you know what you got with him. Chuks struggled at RT. Maybe with better coaching Chuks takes a big step forward and maybe Banner comes back 100% and stays healthy and maybe Moore is a capable swing tackle. But that’s a lot of maybes.
I have more respect for Big Al as a US Army Ranger than as a football player. You wear purple and you are an enemy of my beloved Steelers. It is as simple as that.Big Al will never be dead to me.

This might suit him better as he is a load to move.
I thank AVilli for his time here and the respect he brought to the team and people in general. I wish him well unless he is playing us, then just average. Life's work
Salute the nation
And adding Al back into the equation would have provided some more. "Maybe he gets it back together or maybe the train goes fully off the rails and he stinks the place up." Sometimes it's best to just have a clean break.
S’all right, he wasn’t that good anymore. Play declined after Munchak left.
