Just came out that the Steelers didn't even offer Keenan Lewis a contract. Good work.

But they re-signed Plex, so all is well.

Reported that the Steelers are expected to cut Colon

There's talk of a colon/BA reunion in arizona. i say send broeth down there and just start anew. clean slate.

Troy lives him some BRoeth.

I live the broeth brand.

did troy loney invent the broeth brand

[mac5155]

so who's gone and who's stayin?

[joopen]

so who's gone and who's stayin?

Wallace, Lewis, Mendy, and apparently Colon are all gone.

[Letang Is The Truth]

Is Lewis gone for good?

[Rocco]

so who's gone and who's stayin?

If they have talent, they're gone. If they're Willie Colon, they're still here for now. I've accepted that Colon will never leave because he knows the truth about what happened in Milledgeville and the Steelers have agreed to shut him up by paying him to impersonate an offensive lineman for as long as his heart desires.

[KennyTheKangaroo]

the afc norf is going to suck.

[cheesesteakwithegg]

I doubt it will happen, but I really hope the Steelers find a way to keep Lewis.

[cheesesteakwithegg]

Steelers just reached a deal with Larry Foote. Yay!

Spoiler:

said no one

[Rocco]

Larry Foote fell off a cliff last year, while Harrison was still productive. Great logic.

[Idoit40fans]

So did they reach a deal with Foote or did they not?

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

3 year deal for Foote. WTF? Steelers management has clearly gone full Nutting.

[Trip McNeely]

3 year deal for Foote. WTF? Steelers management has clearly gone full Nutting.

No way he plays for more than 1 year of that deal. They probably cut him after this year if Spence is ready

[Dickie Dunn]

Guess Dan Connor's visit to the Steelers today meant nothing. Heaven forbid they sign someone who isn't ancient.

[cheesesteakwithegg]

PG is reporting that the Steelers are also close to re-signing Burress

[the wicked child]

dem Stillerz gonna suck next year

[Rocco]

Guess Dan Connor's visit to the Steelers today meant nothing. Heaven forbid they sign someone who isn't ancient.

Or someone who isn't part of the organization already.

That absolutely blows my mind. Usually a guy like Lewis (i.e. up and coming player going into their second contract) is someone the Steelers make a priority to sign. On top of that, with how the league is now a "passing league," and the recent struggles the Steelers have had in the secondary, it makes this even more baffling.

[viva la ben]

If they didn't resign foote who exactly was going to play beside Timmons this season? If Shawn Spence was healthy he'd be a replacement.

The biggest concern is the lack of replacements coming up from the draft.

It's hard being rich young n black ! I got to coupe with that

Mark Madden touched on this, but the Steelers are becoming a harder and harder team to like. I can only think of a couple of players that I actually could say I like. Keisel...Miller...Starks? hmmm

[columbia]

Antonio Brown drives a coupe?

Why is he buying a coupe? Certainly the rich part means he could easily afford a sedan.

It must also be really really hard to get a first down which is why he celebrates them like winning the powerball.
