Seriously?? They can tag him for the next 2 years for less money than they were willing to pay him. His only recourse is to hold out completely and make absolutely nothing...which of course he won't do. But even if he did, the steelers have won without him in the past and it would give them an extra 12 million dollars lying around to play with.
The steelers are in control here. This is why players generally hate the franchise tag and why it will be a major issue in the next CBA between the union and the league.
