To make room for the recently signed draft picks and get down to the league mandated roster limit of 80, the Steelers released 7 players on Tuesday. Those players released were: wide receiver Jason Chery, kicker Piotr Czech, linebacker Derrick Doggett, punter Adam Graessle, nose tackle Cordarrow Thompson, center Bradley Vierling and cornerback Trae Williams. The Steelers have 4 draft picks yet to be signed and are currently down to 79 players under contract on the active roster with wide receiver Limas Sweed on the injured reserve list.

Continuing on with our daily poll questions, today I want to know which Steelers undrafted free agent do you think has the best shot at making the 53 man roster? I have listed the current 9 below. Please only vote once and the poll will close 24 hours from now. If you feel like making a few comments to back up your choice, feel free to do so below in the comments section.
The draft as over and the Steelers will now begin the process of signing 5-7 undrafted free agents. Check back here and I will pass along the un-drafted free agents as I get them. Please note that none of these are official and will not be until announced on Steelers.com. These reports come in fast from various sources and sometimes are just invites to work out.
UPDATE: Daryll Clark reports that he has not agreed yet with Steelers. As I warned these come in from various sources, so be warned.
Colbert said 5-7 UDFA's will be signed. I currently have 7 on my unconfirmed list, so that may be about it if indeed this list holds.
Update: The list below is now official. Should be noted that Taylor is a DT and not a FB.
