Willie Parker To Sit Out 2010 Rather Then Sign With The Steelers?

Filed Under: afc, afcnorth, rumor, steelers

Posted By: BigBlueBruiser 03-29-2010 , 12:18 PM	#1

The Post-Gazette's Ed Bouchette spoke to a person close to free agent running back Willie Parker and reported in his PG+ blog that Parker is so bitter toward the Steelers about his treatment last season that he would rather sit out 2010 than play here again. The source's message might be a bit extreme, but there's no question Parker, a valuable guy who played a major role on two Super Bowl-winning teams, couldn't have been happy about being pushed aside for Rashard Mendenhall. Parker had to know it was inevitable from the day the Steelers drafted Mendenhall No. 1 in the '08 draft and invested a fortune in him, but that didn't make it any easier to take.

He was decent for 3-4 years and was actually somewhat productive at the end of last year. Like I said, I'd welcome him back if he knows his role and is cheap. If he wants to sit out, that'll probably hurt more than help, but some team will sign him at some point. Injuries happen...
