    If James could give us anything they would have kept him. Its time to move on folks, this ship has sailed about 6 weeks ago. If he clears waivers and comes back and does well(I doubt it though) then I'll gladly eat that crow sandwich.

    Harrison has already been made inactive due to illness. Not that big of a deal.

    Let go 2 days before Christmas, Way to go Steelers! I realize that the NFL is a business but why now? This move seems like something that SHOULD piss off some of those players in that locker room who are longtime friends/teammates. Spineless from a generally classy organization.

    I feel ya and this maybe another reason that leads to Ben hang it up after this season. If he don't clear waivers and brought back it is not a cool move.

    I may be in the minority here but I think James was done. The few plays he was in on he looked slow.

    The guy is almost 40, which at his position is way past his use by date.

    I don't like it either but I remember seeing Franco Harris in a Bitch Pigeon uniform in 1984 made me reach for some Tums.

    Didn’t the Steelers pull this move with another vet recently and then sign him back after that weeks game?

    Got to be more to it then them just outright cutting him. If he clears waivers, he could sign right back after the week.

    Seems like it could be a trick to keep an extra player since they know he's inactive this week. Anyone else picks up even a modest injury this late in the season, it's straight to IR for them and the space opens back up. Possibly what we are doing.

    Or, maybe he did something like take a shit on Tomlin's car.

    If Harrison wasn't cut someone else would have. A move had to be made to create room on the roster for Gilbert.

    Nothing spineless about it.

    I wonder if steeldude thinks they should have waived Bud instead? I do hope they give him a SB ring that would be nice gesture.

    By NFL rules, they “have” to... because, he was on the roster at some point during the season (it’s amazing just how many players get rings).

    When did that rule come in ? I know the scab players got screwed out of rings back in the 80's

    IDK, but I know that I heard an interview during the Steelers 2008 SuperBowl week, where some dude on the Ravens 2000 squad got one for basically being on the roster for a week, but he never wore the ring (because, he felt like he didn’t earn it).

    Had to be later then the 80's and like I mentioned The Redskins scab players got screwed and not only on the roster but played in games. Anyways that is a good rule then but if Harrison goes to another team I'm sure that nullifies it and no ring then.

    Ps. THE 30 FOR 30 about that scab players is one of my favs.

    30 for 30 is the only good thing on ESPN.

    Re: Steelers activate Gilbert; release James Harrison

    I imagine they planned to cut him in the offseason, so makes sense (not that I like it at all) to waive him instead of a player they want back next season. However I think we may have screwed ourselves if we get an injury to our OLB, he is probably the 3rd best rusher on the team. And for those saying he looked slow, how do you think you would play after several weeks of riding the bench, he needs at least a game or 2 to round into form (see Bell!). What we should have done was cut McCullers and rested TJ more the next 2 games so he has more left come playoffs by splitting time with JH so we could use home for pressure against Brady.
