McFarland still a possibility

That would be great,but we have no money for him. Mendenhall and sweed are take most of whats left of our 2008 cap

It sounds like there are two question marks to making this happen.

Is McFarland healthy? The workout could provide an answer.

If he is healthy, is he willing to accept a contract that would work within the Steelers' salary cap? That's a tougher question to answer because the better he looks at the workout, the higher his price might go.

McFarland is exactly the kind of guy the Steelers have been successful with in free agency. Think about Kimo Van Olhoeffen, for example. He's a plugger who can take on blockers to free up the LBs to rush the passer. And he's stout against the run. He'd be a good fit, but the key is getting him to accept a relatively low-dollar salary. You don't leverage your cap to sign Booger.

if we can get him cheap and he passes his physical i dont see why not.

we could use the depth.

i was really excited when we first got davenport and now im pretty disapointed from his stay, see you in hell powers!!

mahan may or may not be cut depending on his signing bonus, i guess we'll see come june 1st/
