I know, it's not really Steelers Talk, but it will get the Steeler fans talking....LOL. Washington cut Willie Parker. Ought to be interesting to see what happens to FWP now.

Probably nothing. He'll be tagged as a RB that hit the physical wall and his body broke down-leaving nothing left in the tank.

IMO, his career is done, unless a team needs a vet as a backup.

I can see a team like the Chargers, with a rookie starter at RB, maybe adding him to be with Sproles as depth.

^^This. I believe FWP could be picked up by a team that needs backfield depth so I'm not counting him out yet.

He can be LenDale White's replacement.

I disagree. Maybe some team picks him up in the way that a team picked Shaun Alexander, just to get confirmation as to what he has (or doesn't have) left, but Parker is never going to be productive again. We wore him down, and sapped him of his speed.

Good point - the Broncos just might pick him up. They're really hurting in the RB department.

I beleive I heard that he also fired his agent.

He has Bettis' old agent now.

A new agent might help, but his new nickname certainly isn't : "Formerly Fast Willie Parker"

I believe FWP will find a team. I know there has been no interest in him whatsoever, but he is one of the best if not the best free agent RB out their and desperate teams like the Bronco's and Chargers could use all the help they can find!

I'm pretty sure he'll find a team. It might not be a good team, but someone will need his services. Good luck old friend.

I agree. Willie signed with a team of his choosing, but didn't quite have enough left in the tank to make it. The next place he plays will be a team that chooses him. I hope he can finish his career with some dignity and not scrounging for a pine ride.

He could probably get rich in Oakland Davis would probably pay millions for his services.:no:

At least they will upgrade in the sense of character.
