Final Steelers Roster cuts are in - Keeping 4 WR's, 3 QB's

[coldrolled]

coldrolled is not gonna be happy lol

Im going to be a Ravens fan now... LOL

I never saw Lee get pushed back.. I dont get that.. But the Steelers know best... 5 holds and knocked over twice wins i guess for Kelvin.. I hope they are not picking guys because of their draft rank..

Actually it is nice to see Woods and Golden making it..

Lee to PS and JJ to PS.. I guess next year were picking up a QB.

If Adams is not playing.. We have our 4th round Samoan being our #1 pick this year thats actually playing... Scary...

Our draft is going down hill fast. Free Agency Coming??

A few of these cuts puzzle me but the one that really stands out is Will Allen, can someone explain ?

I wouldn't be surprised if Ta'amu doesn't dress for the first 6-8 games.

I think it is simply a nod to the ST coach. Spence won't be playing and Brown left with an injury the other night. Excuse me if this has been mentioned in another thread, but I've heard very little about that injury and what it entailed. Whether a totally accurate perception or not, Allen is mentioned as a ST ace. That was why they brought him in initially - after the ST were so bad that year. Since Tomlin is the "assistant ST coach" this season, does that give them a little more clout? LOL

I don't really like carrying just 4 WR's, but I guess Chris Rainey as an option there helps ease that burden. As much as I love Emmanuel Sanders, he's gotta stay healthy in order for this work.

Gilreath and Williams should both be available if something were to happen. It's not like they are a hot commodity at this point, and both possible practice squad guys.

Any chance 5th wideout is added after DeCastro placed on IR? Or is it predetermined that the additional player will be OL?

[ChucktownSteeler]

We will have 2 spots open when Saunders goes on suspension and DeCastro to designated IR. I think the F.O. has this planned out. I think Ryan Lee will be back.

C-town

Anyone for Deion Branch for a 5th wideout, I know he was cut the Patriots and was an O.K. player.

But being the 5th wide receiver on this team would add insurance, we already have 3 fast guys, 1 vet, and Branch is an ok player, who wouldn't cost much?

I can't believe we only have 4 wide outs on the roster :S.

One of the rookies makes it?

No, I am not. We have enough talent at WR now. I am not for it.

[cbrunn]

WR is the least of our concern ... to much talent there ...and Rainey is like a 5th WR ...

Need either Oline, or LB position

I would like, Ryan Lee/ Essex back ... and Marcus Dowtin/ Mario Harvey

Ed Buchette has already says its Essex coming in on Monday
