Not a shock. He's too fragile for his salary cap number. I expect he's played his last down as a Steeler.

If we don't keep Colon, that tells me that Foster gets re-signed and moved to LG next year and DeCastro goes to RG. That is assuming that Max is re-signed as well.

Whether Max resigns or not I think the first part of your post is 100% true.

Of course. He's always injured. Cya Willie!

I like the lineup of Pouncey and DeCastro at guarfd, Legursky at C, and Starks and Beachum at the tackle spots.

Turns out his contract will make him virtually uncutable; Damn!

Either Adams or Gilbert takes that RT spot.

I think he is referring to this season. Gilbert is out for the rest of the season and who knows when Adams will come back.

I never liked Colon to begin with. He's a penalty monster. Hope he gets better but I think were better without him.

For those wanting to cut Colon, he would be a $6.45 million dead money hit if cut prior to June 1st. scheduled to count $7.65 million as is

They won't cut him. It was his first season at LG and I thought he played well. They just need to find a way to keep him healthy.

Good luck with that. Three straight years end up with him on the IR.

The Steelers really won't save any money by cutting him.
