Just read he may not be ready for next season's training camp.  This is a real bummer.  In limited action, Sean showed a ton of athleticism and would be perfect at his size to play mid LB in our 3-4 D.  If he was able to play last season and showed promise, we may not be re-signing Larry Foote and his vetern contract.  Injuries have really hurt the Steelers the past few seasons at every level.  This injury has changed the Steelers 2013 offseason and draft.  The Ravens dealt with a similar issue regarding the LB (cannot remember his name) they drafted out of Texas that a head injury ended his career.  That kid was a first round pick while Sean was a 3rd rounder.  Anyways, was interested in Steeler Nations opinion on Spence and how this will affect our draft?

Not sure if it has any bearing on the news about Spence but I believe Foote's agent is currently in contract talks with the Steelers

Sergio Kindle was the Ravens LB.
And he was a second round pick.

Besides, his issue was more alcholism and stupidity that led to an injury.  Who gets a fractured skull after falling down two flights of stairs (probably from a night of drink) and then goes drunk driving while his freaking skull isn't even healed.  Both second rounders that year were a waste.

Ravens R #1,

Thanks for the info, I had a lot of respect for the Ravens when they paid this kid for a whole year when they did not have to.  The Bears just recently did the same with Johnny Knox.  Also, falling down the stairs and fracturing your skull is DEFINITELY a drunk move.  I new a kid who knocked out his two front teath doing the same thing hahaha.  Not to laugh but it is kind of funny.  So is Ed Reed going to end up on the Pats?  Going from the Ravens to the Pats would make him even more likeable in Pittsburgh.  Great player though.

His stupidity also cost him his hearing in his left ear which severely hampered him hearing the defensive playcalls while on the field. Once the Ravens cut him, he tried to latch on with the Giants but after the workout was told to hit the road.

A terrible case of wasted talent due to complete stupidity.  Such a shame.

I really hope Spence heals up and is ready for training camp.  This would be a big plus for the Steelers especially after cutting Sly Stevenson.

I just read this in Steelersdepot:

lan-in-place-at-inside-linebacker/]


In the second paragraph it's stated that Spence suffered extensive nerve damage and might not play again!!!

I think they are going to draft Ogletree in the first or Te'o in the 2nd.

Too bad about Spence - but the article also talks about a kid I'm real high on from last pre-season - Marshall McFadden.  Can play both inside LB spots and ST's..  this may be the reason Sylvester was not resigned... will see also what they do in the draft for ILB.

enjoy,

Steelroc, yeah I heard about the nerve thing a couple weeks ago. Jerry Dulac was reporting it, something about the nerve(s) not re-generating as fast as they thought so now they're concerned it never will.

Ndfan, just read that myself, so how much will teams take that into consideration when evaluating, how much will this damage his stock?

Please no to both. Last thing they need is a another drunk driver or a guy that will bring a media circus.
