The Steelers trimmed down to 75 players on Tuesday morning and now will need to cut 21 more by September 4th. Why 21 and not 22 you ask? This is because quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be moved to the reserve/suspended list, so technically that will not be a cut. I have listed 10 players that will likely be seeing the Turk soon and 16 players who could be considered on the bubble right now in my opinion. None of these are locked in stone mind you and this list is for entertainment purposes only, so no one get your feelings hurt until the cuts are made as ANYTHING can happen in these final days

Below are my 5 and reasons.
LB Brandon Renkart - Renkart was signed as a body when linebacker Andre Frazier was placed on injured reserve. He has no chance at

Always tough to find something good to write about on gamedays of the preseason, but I thought I would make a point to cover undrafted free agent Dorian Brooks today. I did not add this to the 10 things to watch against the Giants as it's level of importance is way down the scale and it might not even come to fruition.
First, who is Dorian Brooks? Brooks is the Steelers undrafted free agent from James Madison that made the transition in college from a defensive lineman to an offensive lineman after his freshman season. He is a bit undersized, but ended up making thirty-seven consecutive starts

Steelers safety Troy Polamalu gave a great interview to Tom Robinson of the Virginian-Pilot while he was in town for the William and Mary football camp. Polamalu said, owners would be selfish to lock out players for the 2011 season saying, "America needs football.

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.
