Steelers want Timmons to return, but at a salary cut
… hope they can agree
Steelers GM Kevin Colbert said that he would like to have inside linebacker Lawrence Timmons, the leading tackler on the team for years, to return next year.
However, they will not pay him $15.1 million as they did in 2016, which is reasonable. Timmons will be in his 11th season, and he is still productive. However, that salary is too high for the salary cap.
“Would you like to have him stay? Absolutely,” Colbert said, according to the PG. “Does it all fit? We can make it work, but at what cost? He’s never been a free agent. I’d like to see him finish his career here and he would too.”
Hopefully, they can make it work. He still has a lot of accelerant left in that engine.
