Steelers release nine players
No surprises here. The only guy who maybe had a shot before he played himself off the team was Sexton.

Re: Steelers release nine players
Sexton, Johnson, and Brown might show back up on the Practice Squad. They get 16 this year.

Yeah I don’t think any of them will be snatched up by another team.
Interesting that the Steelers haven’t made a decision on punter, RB, and long snapper, and OLB yet.
I assume they won’t keep both Roche and Marsh on the 53 roster.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall for those discussions. I want to hear who defends Snell. Lol

Definitely agree with Sexton and Johnson. Maybe Brooks lands there as well.

Now that we can put anyone on the PS, regardless of accrued seasons, it will be interesting to see if we keep Snell or Samuels on the PS. I don’t think Brooks will be our favorite RB to get cut. And by “our favorite” I mean their favorite.

So the Steelers kept 4 QB to start the season? Smells like a trade.

No, they have until the 31st to cut down to 53. They are at 71 now. Still a lot of cuts to make.
No one is gonna trade for Dobbs and we aren’t keeping him on the 53 man roster. He has turf toe. It’s not even an option.

Ok, I didn't know they hadn't made final cuts

so I guess he’ll be released and if clears waivers will go on IR??? Can’t imagine he did enough to warrant getting picked up by another team , we’ll see.

Canaday getting replaced? That saves 10 bucks on the cap. Score!

Yes

Re: Steelers release nine players
No surprises yet. I figured Canaday lost out because he couldn’t play in the last game.
I’m still curious about guys like Roche and Gilbert.
And obviously which RBs will survive the cut.

same here, personally I just want a clean slate at RB. Get rid of the old, not counting McFarland. I really think Snell and Samuels could be replaced with guys already cut from other teams and we’d be improved. If Snell goes elsewhere and happens to succeed which I doubt we can say it was our line or the scheme. Bottom line he’s useless in our offense.
Re: Steelers release nine players
They released Berry. I was hoping they’d be able to trade him, but oh well.
Welcome to the team Mr. Harvin!

Indeed I figured that Colbert would get a R6 pick for him… because, Berry showed that he is one of the 32 best punters in the NFL. Oh well.
