NFL Capsules - AFC North and West: Steelers sign Woodley to six-year deal
Rather than get some supplement rest entering the second week of training lodge, Woodley took to Twitter around 6 a.m. Friday morning to cut off the news about his six-year, $61.5 million handle.
"I set my alarm and I decided I was going to tweet this first thing in the morning," Woodley said. "That was the whole matter - breaking the story first."
Figures. It's Woodley's way to be in a bustle.
The deal makes the Pro Bowler one of the highest paid players at his location in the league while also providing the team with a little compensation cap relief.
