The Steelers have released tight end Weslye Saunders, a second-year undrafted free agent out of South Carolina. Saunders was suspended for the first four games of this season by the NFL. In his rookie year of 2011, Saunders had four receptions and one touchdown

He wasn't a draft pick, but he might be the most talented TE on the roster besides Miller.

David Paulson made this a much easier decision. He's come a long way and Saunders missing all this time was his downfall.

edited that statement for you :)



If hes cut now, that seems like they knew they were going to cut him anyways... we keep him around?

found this on twitter:

@CBSSteelers
As initially expected, the #Steelers cut TE Weslye Saunders on day he was eligible to come off NFL suspension.Club needs him, too. #Tough'12

Are you being facetious? I can't tell. Assuming you are, so will refrain from a snarky reply.

MEASURABLY BETTER THAN Paulson I guess they held his college trouble against him. but i will say 4 games for adderal is harsh.the only thing i don't know is if he tested positive more than once before they gave him four games.think about it those *******s on the saints got less games than him and they wanted to hurt ppl. oh well we have bigger problems like woodley becoming achina doll and polamalu getting old .

I don't think this is a very good move unless he came into practice strung out, etc. The offense has been using H. Miller very effectively and Saunders has shown good hands. I just don;t think Paulson has IT. I would rather have seen Pope released than WS. Just a crappy year for the steelers F.O. imo.
