Worilds was Tomlin's guy -- he picked him, when other better players were on the board, but Tomlin liked his "explosiveness"
Worilds isn't going anywhere, unfortunately

Not just during Tomlin's tenure-- Steelers enamored with first step quickness above all other OLB traits. This goes way back. The only time I can recall them going away from that in recent memory was Bruce Davis over Cliff Avril (ouch does that hurt or what?).

Yep I remember after they drafted Worilds all they talked about was his "quick twitch".
They will throw a mountain of cash at Worilds. Stupid.

Rooney said they'd like him back
Yep, and that just falls into the vicious cycle of overpaying "marginal" players out of loyalty and panic. The Steelers need to break that cycle.

I'd let Worilds walk and draft a rookie or sign a middle tier OLB.
He hasn't shown me enough to substantiate a big contract.
