If "all" Harrison got was 20 Million in guaranteed money, then the Steelers virtually got a "home-town discount" IMO if you consider that Dwight Freeney got 50% more guaranteed money (30 million) between 18 & 24 months ago. I think Harrison at weakside OLB for the Steelers is very comparable to Freeney at the 4-3 weakside edge as a DE for the Colts as the top pass-rusher for their respective teams. And they are about the same age.
And no a 4-3 MLB is just not as valuable to a team as Harrisons position is to the 3-4 Steelers.
