So far the Steelers cut the following players: Johnny Horton Anthony Chiccolo Mark Baron Ramon Foster retired, thank you big Ragu for your years of service. Restructured contracts of: Vance McDonald Joe Haden Ben Roethlisberger Steve Nelson Chris Boswell Lost to FA so far: Javon Hargrave - Eagles Tyler Matekevic - Bills BJ Finney - Seahawks signed FA’s Derek Watt - Chargers Re-signed Cameron Canaday RFA signings Zach Banner Steelers Franchise Tagged Bud Dupree.
I'll miss Hargrave. The rest is fine, more or less. Best wishes to Foster. I hope Dupree stays at the level he played at last year. I hope Vance can stay on the field. If Ben is healthy, the TE will be a valuable tool.
According to Behind the Steel Curtain, The franchise tag used on the Bud Dupree was the non-exclusive tag according to The Athletic’s Mark Kaboly. Mark Kaboly tweeted The #Steelers did not put the exclusive franchise tag on Bud Dupree. They have done it only twice in their history -- Le'Veon Bell in back-to-back years. https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.c...inebacker-bud-dupree-news-salary-cap-nfl-2020 IMHO this is the intelligent move. Let Bud Dupree see what the market offers. If he gets a "ridiculously" high offer, let him walk and take two 1st round picks. If he gets a "reasonable" offer, match it and have a player that isn't left wondering and unhappy.
According to Steelers Depot, #72 will be reporting eligible to Heinz Field in 2020. Zach Banner has re-upped with the Steelers. He tweeted the news in the only way he can. He’s signing a one-year deal worth $1.75 million, a source tells Steelers Depot. https://steelersdepot.com/2020/03/steelers-sign-ot-zach-banner-to-one-year-deal/
According to Behind the Steel Curtain, Steelers sign long snapper Kameron Canaday to a two-year deal Ian Rapoport Long snapper news! Kam Canaday is headed back to the #Steelers on a 2-year deal, source said. https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.c...wo-year-deal-pittsburgh-2020-free-agency-news
According to Behind the Steel Curtain, B.J. Finney signs with the Seattle Seahawks, as the Steelers’ line depth dwindles Tom Pelissero The #Seahawks are signing former #Steelers OL B.J. Finney to a two-year, $8 million deal, source said. Versatile interior player who has 13 career starts. https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.c...elers-line-depth-dwindles-nfl-free-agent-news The Steelers need to keep Matt Feiler and move him to LG. Zach Banner (signed earlier today) and Chuks Okorafor will compete for RT spot. Whoever loses the battle will become the swing tackle.
That’s a pretty cheap deal for Finney, thought he’d get more. Feel the Steelers could’ve paid that and he’d have the starting job. They must plan to kick Feiler inside and Banner and Chucks to battle for the RT
For some reason it won’t let me edit the original message anymore. New inquiry: the Steelers squired Stephen Wisniewski OG/C for 2 years much needed depth in the IOL. I think he’ll start day 1 at OG and will replace Foster and provide depth at C if needed could also draft someone still as well.
Jordan Dangerfield re-signed a 1yr deal with the Steelers. Some depth at S but also a good ST player.
Eric Ebron signed for 2 years and $12 million. Also acquired Chris Wormley and a 2021 7th from the Ravens for a 2021 5th rounder
I didn’t here about Eric Enron, and just read about Chris Wormley. Anyone get the contract details on Wisniewski? Hopefully Ebron can stay Healthy along with McDonald.
Here's who I hope he is with a QB that brings it ... and hoping we have QB who can bring it ... Unless he under performs we stole Wormley. His 2019 numbers continued in Pgh. will turn Stephon and Cam loose which activates LB play... I think we're on the right track.
https://www.steelers.com/news/steelers-make-moves-to-get-to-53-man-roster Steelers make moves to get to 53-man roster "The complete list of those released includes quarterback Paxton Lynch; running backs Kerrith Whyte Jr., Trey Edmunds, and Wendell Smallwood; receivers Saeed Blacknall, DeAndre Thompkins, Deon Cain, Amara Darboh, and Switzer; offensive linemen Christian DiLauro, John Keenoy, Derwin Gray, Anthony Coyle, and Jarron Jones; and tight ends Kyle Markway and Kevin Rader on offense. On the defensive side of the ball, defensive linemen Cavon Walker, Henry Mondeaux, Calvin Taylor, and McCullers; linebackers Tuzar Skipper and Jayrone Elliott; defensive backs Trajan Bandy, John Battle, and Brooks Jr. Also, punter Corliss Waitman and long snapper Liam McCullough were released." "The Steelers will be able to sign 16 players to their practice squad beginning on Sunday, Sept. 6. Of those 16, six of them can be vested veterans, players with four or more years in the league." There were a couple of interesting moves in the releases. I thought that McCullers and Switzer would make the 53-man roster. Now we wait to see who will make up the 16-man practice squad.
https://steelersdepot.com/2020/09/2020-steelers-practice-squad-tracker-updating/ The Steelers have announced the rest of their practice squad.
