NO OFFER YET FOR RYAN CLARK

There's been lots of talk about a new contract for Steelers free agent safety Ryan Clark of late, so the noted media-basher took matters into his own hands on Monday, telling his side of the story to former teammate Mike Logan and friends on 1250 ESPN's The Drive. An excerpt:

"To be honest with you guys, I haven't had an offer yet. Nothing put to paper or even said verbally. You know Mike [Logan], we want to get this thing done. Bend over backwards to get it done before the season or something. You hear so much about being a priority and things like that...

If you think about it, there's been a number of guys that have signed contracts and I haven't been offered. It's been Heath Miller, Justin Hartwig, Brett Keisel, Casey [Hampton], Jeff [Reed]. It's not like one guy got signed, the well ran dry, and there's nothing they can do. It hasn't been that. So if you think about priorities and prioritizing, obviously I was way down the list as that goes."

I appreciate his honesty, but the last time I checked, the Steelers aren't too keen on negotiating deals through the media. I thought the chances of Clark coming back were high last week, but after hearing this, let's just say I've lost a bit of confidence that he will be in a Steeler uniform in the future.
