Steelers Prioritizing Re-Signing Jason Worilds

January 25th, 2014 at 2:49pm CST by Rob DiRe

The Steelers have 21 unrestricted free agents hitting the market this offseason, writes Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. However, team president Art Rooney II only had one name on his mind when talking about the team’s priorities for the offseason: linebacker Jason Worilds.

“Jason Worilds is certainly somebody who came on and showed what he can do,” Rooney said. “Particularly over the second half of the season.”

Worilds is considered to be the second best outside linebacker available in free agency this offseason, behind only Brian Orakpo. The fourth-year linebacker finished last season with seven sacks in the last eight games.

The rest of the list of free agents includes such names as long-time Steeler Ryan Clark, young receiver Emmanuel Sanders, and the team’s three top options at running back after Le’Veon Bell.

AFC North Rumors: Browns, Ravens, Jones

The Browns finally filled the last head coaching opening in the NFL yesterday, hiring Mike Pettine away from the Bills. Pettine indicated at yesterday’s press conference that if Cleveland’s search had lasted much longer, he would have withdrawn his name, so as not to leave the Bills hanging indefinitely. But now that he’s got the Browns job, Pettine will look to fill out his staff. Here’s the latest on that front, along with a couple other AFC North items:

The Browns have interest in former Texans head coach Gary Kubiak for their offensive coordinator position, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (Twitter link). However, ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter tweets that it’s unlikely Kubiak lands in Cleveland.
The Ravens are also in the market for an offensive coordinator, with their search in the final stages. The club interviewed internal candidate Jim Hostler and ex-Redskins coordinator Kyle Shanahan for the second time on Thursday, and will have a second interview with Kirby Wilson of the Steelers today, according to Jeff Zrebiec and Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun.
Heading for unrestricted free agency, wide receiver Jacoby Jones says he’d love to return to the Ravens, as Ray Frager of CSNBaltimore.com writes.
