It's that time of year again. Here is a closer look at the 2010 Steelers free agents list as we head into the offseason. I listed the probability of their return with a brief summary of the player. The 3 most high profile free agents are Casey Hampton, Jeff Reed and Willie Colon. I also noted if they are restricted or unrestricted free agents. LB Patrick Bailey RFA – Bailey is a special teamer that registered 13 tackles on returns in 2009. He was also part of one of the worst Steelers special teams units in quite a while. Bailey is a coin flip at best to return in 2010. He could be re-signed Read more [...]

If you remember, offensive coordinator, Bruce Arians, claimed only 19 of the 49 sacks were attributable to the offensive line. Former Steeler Rod Woodson told a Bay Area radio station there’s no question about the team he would go into the Hall of Fame representing if he were forced to choose. It would be the Steelers. Mike Tomlin went back home to Virginia to help raise money for the Hampton Roads Convention Center. More than 500 fans showed up to see Tomlin and Read more [...]

Following the upcoming NFL draft the Steelers will begin the process of signing the draft picks. As those draft picks sign, the likelihood of their salary counting against the top 51 salaried players begins. At the current time, the Steelers are right up against the cap limit of $127,000,00.00, thus some players will need to be released that are currently in the top 51 salaries. Below are a few players I think will be released sometime in May. LS Greg Warren - This grizzly veteran long snapper will save the Steelers around $650,000 in cap money and assuming Jared Retkofsky is fully recovered Read more [...]

Boy I tell you, it’s a fine line between winning and losing in this league. You’ve got to give credit to the Colts. They made the plays necessary to win the football game. They took advantage of minute opportunities and made significant plays. We did not. It’s the difference between catching interception opportunities and not. They did, thus they had turnovers; we didn’t. We’ve got to do a better job taking care of the ball and we’ve got to do a better job of getting the ball. When you play good on good – and make no mistake, that team was better than their 4-4 record – games come Read more [...]

The Indianapolis Colts (4-4) take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2) today at Heinz Field.
