The #Steelers have informed veteran CB Ahkello Witherspoon that he’ll be released, source says. He started 7 games over the last two seasons.

It looked like he was going to be a redemption story in 2021, then he Agholor leaped over him and he was all done.
Really trimming the fat off of this roster.
didnt see that coming , wonder if he acted as a hostage instead of a volunteer
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
YES!!!
Both Maulet and Witherspoon gone in one off-season? Too good!
I don't even care if all the new guys suck and they are stuck playing XFL Bucaroo at CB for 17 games. At least it will be a different collection of lottery tickets.
Witherspoon is exactly who he has always been....likely looks great in practice, he's long, and runs fast. But blow the whistle and start the games and he is wildly inconsistent with the stretches of terrible play outweighing the flashes of good play.
San Francisco, Seattle, and now Pittsburgh. That is three defensive oriented teams that have all given up on this guy.

I know many of you probably are not, but I am a little surprised (not upset - surprised). I thought they would run another year with Witherspoon. Hopefully, it means they like what they have seen from Trice in the very little window of opportunity they have had to see him.
Free's up another 2.6 million ....
with the signing of Mason and Pickett the clear starter one must wonder if Mitch is next and another big signing takes place
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
bummer, i had high hopes for him after his first year as a starter for us. he did drop off fast

I wonder if he was a contract disagreement also.
Lots of that going around this time of year.Originally Posted by Born2Steel
I would like to continue to get paid millions of dollars, thanks!
Yeah...we dispute that we're going to do that. We would prefer to just not pay you and have you no longer work here.
Witherspoon will likely catch on somewhere else. And disappoint there. Dude is Artie Burns with less bad press.
No loss here. Another “bad player” off the roster…
I can't believe how quickly Khan is turning over the bottom half of the roster. Glad to see them try new things

Before the Pat Pete signing he was poised to be a starter, and now he's an easy choice depth/salary casualty. Gotta love it.
I just hope Trice or Sullivan are ready to really prove out this preseason; our hole at slot looks dire. Khan's done excellent work everywhere else so I'll trust the reality is better than the optics on this one.
