Good news, bad news. Hampton stays but there’s no long term deal. After last year’s aberration of a season, I’m looking forward to a return of the best team in the NFL. It’s good to be hated.
GO STEELERS!

Well, it’s a good thing you enlightened me, Chap, because I never would have guessed that a joke about a guy nicknamed “Big Snack” going to the Golden Corral buffet was somehow directed at me being a Steelers fan. You nut.

By the title of this I just assumed that he put on another 50lbs and litterally couldn’t move anymore.

A guy like that? You mean a 5 time pro bowler coming off a damn good season? Yeah what a waste of money this will be.

The only place that tub of lard is going to is the closest Golden Corral. Fat a$$

Hope they work out the agreement because I don’t want a grumbling out-of-shape nose tackle showing up at camp. Casey needs to realize the Steelers have put up with some things other teams might not have because they know what he can bring once he pulls himself together. These are precarious times for players. They’d be wise to get their deals done and stay where they’re appreciated, if they can–especially when they’re on the downside of their careers, like Casey.

Why would they sign him to a long term deal? Imagine if there is a lockout next year what type of condition this guy will be in after a year off. There is only one way to handle this situation and that is the franchise tag because they have no one adequate behind him.

Beezer – I hope you’re being sarcastic. Everyone knows Florio is an admitted Vikings fan since his youth. If anything, he dislikes the Steelers and this post was the rare exception when he didn’t take a shot at them. The problem he has with the Steelers most likely goes back to their Super Bowl domination of his beloved Vikings in the 70′s.

Any team other than Pittsburgh Florio and you would be blasting them on giving a guy like that big money!

Typically solid franchaises like the Steelers don’t let players walk after being named to 5 of the last 7 pro bowls.
Hampton is still arguably the top run stopper in the league.

No kidding he isn’t going anywhere. He’s far too heavy to move around.

Bills fans say you can just throw anyone in there, and yet here are the Pats and Steelers franchising their 3-4 tackles. I guess Bills fans know something everyone else doesn’t.

True nose tackles? As opposed to what, false nose tackles?
