PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have made their choice at outside linebacker, and it isnt LaMarr Woodley. Derek Rivers Jersey . A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press the Steelers will part ways with the former Pro Bowler, a move that hardly serves as a surprise after fifth-year linebacker Jason Worilds agreed to accept a "transition player" tag last week. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the move is not yet official. The 29-year-old Woodley will likely be designated a post-June 1 salary cap cut, but is free to sign with another team when the new league year begins Tuesday afternoon. By postponing the move until after June 1, the Steelers would free up about $8 million in salary cap space in 2014. The money saved will likely go toward signing the teams selections in the NFL Draft in May. Woodley will, however, count $8.5 million against the teams cap number in 2015. Woodley signed a six-year, $61.5 million contract in 2011, but has struggled to remain healthy. He missed at least three games in each of the last three seasons as hamstring and other lower body issues kept him sidelined for long stretches. The turning point came in a 25-17 win over New England on Oct. 30, 2011. Woodley sacked Tom Brady twice in that game but also left with a strained hamstring. He had nine sacks at the time of the injury, played in two games the rest of the way and could never seem to rediscover the productivity that made Woodley and James Harrison one of the most feared outside linebacker combinations in the league. The Steelers released Harrison last March and selected Jarvis Jones in the first round of the 2013 draft, making him the heir apparent to Harrison. Jones finished with just one sack but appeared to get better as the season progressed. Woodley did not. He failed to get a sack after Oct. 20 and ended the season on injured reserve. While Woodley sat with calf problems, Worilds thrived. He led Pittsburgh with eight sacks despite playing across from a rookie still adjusting to the league. The decision to release Woodley is the latest in a busy week for the Steelers, who have been forced to become aggressive to get under the salary cap by Tuesday. Safety Troy Polamalu and tight end Heath Miller signed more cap-friendly contracts last week, while Pittsburgh also released offensive tackle Levi Brown, cornerback Curtis Brown and linebacker Larry Foote. The Steelers agreed to terms with safety Will Allen. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported wide receiver Antonio Brown restructured his contract. The Steelers also restructured CB Ike Taylors contract to save cap room. All the movement, however, is unlikely to make the typically conservative Steelers major players when free agency begins.

Hall had a goal and three assists in a 5-4 loss to San Jose on Tuesday, had an assist in each of Edmontons next two games the capped the week with a goal and two assists in the Oilers 4-2 win over Anaheim on Sunday.Peter Schmeichel has delivered his verdict on how Manchester United can end a difficult season on a high. The clubs legendary goalkeeper was speaking as a pundit on Sky Sports following their 1-0 win over Everton on Sunday, and suggested what hed do if he were Louis van Gaal to ensure a successful conclusion to 2015/16.From where to play Anthony Martial to whether their priorities should be league or cup, here is what Schmeichel had to say... Play Martial as a central striker Martial is now Manchester Uniteds top Premier League goalscorer this season with eight strikes, after netting their winner over Everton. The French youngster has impressed in a wide forward role this campaign, but Schmeichel believes he should be shifted from the left into the middle. SCHMEICHEL SAYS: Hopefully Martial is going to play in the No 9 position. Id like to see him play where Marcus Rashford played [against Everton]. Id like to see Rashford being eased more into it, so he doesnt have to play in every game. I really, really want Martial to be the No 9 of Man United and then everybody knows.I think he plays well coming in from the left, but he is much more dangerous [in the middle]. It requires people around him so he can play. Anthony Martial netted Manchester Uniteds 1000th home Premier League goal in their 1-0 win over Everton. Push Rooney back into midfield Wayne Rooney should drop into midfield, says Schmeichel Wayne Rooney is due back from injury in the coming weeks following a lengthy lay-off, and Schmeichel believes the captain should be restored in a deeper role.SCHMEICHEL SAYS: Wayne can play in different positions. If you ask him, he wants to play in the No 10 position, but Id like to see Wayne develop into a midfield player because he can play a little bit like Paul Scholes did. I am sure he can develop the engine to play in midfield.His vision and the way he sees football is really beneficial to the way that Manchester United should play. He can play the long passes that weve seen [Morgan] Schneiderlin pass, but he can also play the little balls, as weve seen so many times when he has been asked to play in other positions. He can tackle, he can win the ball back and he can defend. But Wayne has to want to play in that position.Give Rashford a rest Marcus Rashford has started the last nine games for United Since exploding onto the scene in late February with his double against FC Midtjylland, Rashford has now started nine games in a row for Manchester United. Schmeichhel, however, believes that the 18-year-old shouldnt be overplayed at this stage of his career. Vincent Valentine Jersey. . SCHMEICHEL SAYS: Over the years, there has always been a goalscorer up front. There has always been someone to put the ball in the back of the net scoring 15 or 20 goals. Martial is the top scorer coming from the left and we have not known who is going to be the No 9.I like the boy Rashford, he is an incredible talent and I am seriously looking forward to the future, but he is a young lad and he needs to be eased into the game. He is doing well at the moment, but playing every game can ruin him. It doesnt have to be much wrong to set him back a long, long time.Prioritise the league over the FA Cup Chris Smalling of Manchester United in action with Andy Carroll of West Ham United It wasnt too long ago that Champions League qualification seemed impossible for United. But an upturn in form and the struggles of Manchester City have seen them move back to a point behind their rivals in fourth.Van Gaals side also have an FA Cup quarter-final replay with West Ham later this month, but Schmeichel says the top four must be the priority. SCHMEICHEL SAYS: Champions League football is essential for a club of Manchester Uniteds calibre. They have to play in that tournament. If not, its a failure.Winning the FA Cup is nice and its a really, really nice day out at Wembley and is something the fans can look forward to but its nothing compared to the Champions League. The game here against Spurs is much more important than the replay against West Ham.Its time to rotate the squad Louis van Gaal gives instructions United named an unchanged lineup from the side that beat Manchester City a fortnight ago but, with their injury problems easing, Schmeichel believes its time for Van Gaal to utilize his squad to its full potential.SCHMEICHEL SAYS: I seriously think it would be some achievement for Manchester United to get themselves into that fourth position, but Im doubting it. The performance today shows a lot of limitations. You look at the bench now and some of the names coming back from injury and he has been forced to play in a certain way with certain players for a long time. Now they are coming back.Van Gaal will have choices now and can rest some of his players. He has not had that opportunity and lets wait and see what happens.
