Get to know Keenan Lewis. He has 12 career tackles and no interceptions in his two NFL seasons. He's a candidate to start at right cornerback if the Steelers don't re-sign unrestricted free agent Ike Taylor.

So are nickel back William Gay and Crezdon Butler, who has one tackle in four games.
That's the risk the Steelers are taking in their game of chicken with Taylor. In declining to make Taylor a transition player by Thursday's deadline, the Steelers will allow him to enter the free agent market if they are unable to sign him by March 3.

The Steelers no longer have exclusive rights to Taylor, who has never missed a game because of injury. As a result, the Steelers will be forced to negotiate against other teams.....

Is this a case where we trust the front office or have they screwed up? No way we can go forward with the loss of Taylor and no replacement in site. Perhaps the Steelers have a CB plan we don't know about?

Hopefully they wouldn't let him walk if they didn't have something in mind.

Would you give up Taylor for a less talented cover-corner that was actually able to catch a cold?
