BEARS SEND:
SS Major Wright, 28 years old, 84ovr
+
3rd Round Pick
STEELERS SEND:
SS Troy Polamalu, 35 years old, 35 years old, 92ovr
+
4th Round Pick
RATIONALE: The Steelers look to move a long time fan favorite to get value prior to his retirement to a team that is in win now mode, and get back a SS from Florida (GM is a fan), that is 7 years younger, and 13 million dollars less in cap room. Therefore, the Steelers are shedding much needed cap space to one of the teams that have the space to take on a risky deal like this (Troy is old and ouch 76 inj), while getting a replacement player that has been a Dwho pro bowler, the picks aid to give more value back to Steelers
