Aaron Smith cut by Pittsburgh

[Crazy Canuck]

The ultimate Pitt style 3-4 D-end who'd fit seamlessly into the AZ defence.

What say you?

 

[MadCardDisease]

I say he is old.

 

[1DS]

We don't need him. DL is solid.

Really...

Ronald Talley or Aaron Smith?

Have the Steelers cut anyone recently who has gone on to have a few more good years? I am not saying they haven't, but I can't think of one. Seems like they know when to cut their losses.

How about a 6th round draft pick @ a fraction of the cost.

 

[WarnerHOF]

Wait what? We actually want Steelers rejects now?

 

[Chopper0080]

I'd be ok w/ Aaron Smith as a backup as he has been productive when healthy (though the 2nd part has been rare)

One guy that I am curious about is Red Bryant from Seattle. I think he could rotate across the entire dline.

Haggans and Eason produced for us.

And a sixth of the ability. You get what you pay for.

 

[1DS]

And 6 times more upside. And a career that is just starting rather than just ending.

Not gonna happen.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

If Holliday doesn't come back, he may be a good option.

Since Smith was cut, we will know soon if the Cardinals want him, since they don't have to wait for free agency.

Ok Rod, glad you cleared that up.

 

[joeshmo]

A 36 year old who has played in a grand total of 15 games in 3 years. Ending the last 3 seasons on IR, not even getting past the 6 game mark.

Really???

I would rather try re-signing Vonnie Holliday.

Good call on Haggans

+ 1.

You know---I actually think we are finally past the point of wanting or having to sign ex-Steeler past their prime players.

This is good news, for sure.

Now if we can just get some of their rings & trophys

Simmer down, you're not impressing anyone.

 

[Stout]

No way. He was one of the all-time best 3-4 DEs, but he is simply done. Nothing at all left in the tank.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Sorry, Dad.

Promise to do better.

 

[Duckjake]

Good call on Haggans

Neither Haggans nor Eason were actually cut by the Steelers. They both left as free agents.

 

[Snakester]

This would have to be at the vet minimum type of signing. I would rather draft a guy in the 3rd, 4th or fifth rounds to be the backup. You get young legs and upside. I have to agree with joeshmo on this one. the guy has not played but 15 games in three seasons. It just doesn't sound like he would be a good pickup.

 

[1DS]

Sorry, Dad.

Lol. Just keep digging, son.

I take back what I said. I'm officially impressed (with your lack of sense).

Sorry, again...

Can I wash your car, Dad, to make it up?
