Wasn’t it Tom Petty that once said, “The waiting is the hardest part?” There’s definitely some truth to that this evening as the Pittsburgh Steelers and free agent linebacker Dont’a Hightower mull over the earlier meeting today.
If you haven’t followed the ‘drama,’ let’s get caught up.
What I can tell you is that the New York Jets have an offer on the table for Hightower that is believed to be significantly higher than anything the Steelers or New England Patriots would be willing to offer. The numbers I’ve heard range from about $60-$70 million dollars over five years.
