Steeler Cuts - Trubisky Among Them
- Thread starter TheSpecialSauce
- Start date
What? Pressley Harvin? That dude was borderline all pro. Can't believe they cut him!
I thought they might be able to trade Okorafor for a draft pick.
Time to restructure Peterson and Heyward next.

Cut Peterson, Allen Robinson and Cole.
Restructure Cam.

I wouldn't mind Peterson at safety... for a fraction of the sticker price. Don't know if he would agree to that, though.
I want them to sign Geno Stone in FA and roll with him, Minkah, Rowe and Neal at safety.
There are literally 32 NFL punting jobs in the entire world. It is incredible how poorly the Steelers have evaluated the position over the years (Harvin and many of the punters before him). I hope they somehow figure it out this time.
Stone is a good idea and I’d bring in T. Boyd to take Robinson’s spot at WR.
The guy won the Ray Guy award in college, where he was a beast. It's odd how he sucked in the NFL....punting is punting regardless of the level of competition.
That would be interesting depending on the role he would be willing to accept. Cox still has some mojo to his game, but I think the Steelers should be happy about how well Benton performed as a rookie. He may very well develop the way Hargrave did. He needs to start.
If Cox were to come in with a workable salary and contribute as a spot filler for Benten or Ogunjobi he would likely be a nice addition to the D line. Loudermilk and Leal have been underwhelming to this point. Cox can still bring it some plays at 33 years old and pressure the offense. For the right price, I would consider that.

In college it's all about net yardage, he has a big leg and he played on a team that punted a ton.
in the NFL a punter has to be a strong, consistent technician in addition to having a cannon for a leg.
The good NFL punters and kickers are freaks in their own right.
There are probably one of two tiers between the Punt God and a dude who was been near the bottom of the league every year he's been in it. I don't think fans are asking for the moon when calling for someone who averages more than 43.8 yards/kick (almost ten yards behind the #1 guy).
I know I am a Pitt homer, but I couldnt understand why we didnt sign Andy Lee after Harvin struggled. I am sure he would have come back for us. Dude still averaged 48 yards per punt the past 2 years

Steelers still have a long way to go to free up cap space if they want to make any meaningful moves.
He's from New Castle, he probably grew up a Steelers fan, he might just come.
That's most likely the reason they didn't cut him during the season, they didn't want to add a holder/punter from the scrapheap and mess with a good thing they had with the snap, hold and kick battery.

Just had to watch Kansas City in the Super Bowl to see how bad Harvin was. He doesn't need to be the best in the league, but a bad punter can really hurt your defense.
It would also seem that punter and kicker are two positions that some kid could work on his whole life and find his way to the NFL if he wished with a long career.
They probably did him a solid by letting him pick his team in FA. They'll get a comp pick in 2025 anyway because he's probably going to get paid something since any OT with starting experience seems to.
They could save $10 million by cutting Allen Robinson. That absolutely has to happen.

If you want a guy that gets careless with the ball, they may as well have kept Mitch on the cheap.
Yes, he did.
Check out the mention of it from others:
*** 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers Thread: 4 picks in top 100. Biggest Needs: C, OT, WR, DT
Whatever it takes for Tory Taylor is a 4th round pick using walkthemock FWIW was reading an article last week, by longtime Bears beat writer Brad Biggs, and he was saying round two is possible. I'm not into forecasting were Punters go but all I keep reading about is that only 58 underclassmen...

Mike Tomlin...is it time to go?
Thanks to both, hadn't seen that. While part of me still thinks it could be mutually beneficial to part ways at this point, can't be upset about retaining a top tier HC either. Hopefully we can lock in a creative/progressive OC.

Really the Trubisky move was very Pirate-like. Take a guy who had a ton of potential at one time and either didnt attain his potential, or he is too old and we are hoping for one last year. Well, didnt work out, and he did not look good. All three QBs didnt look great, but I dont think you couldnt say that Rudolph played well, and Pickett looks like John Elway in the 4th quarter of games. I think if you could harness Picketts 103 qbr in the 4th qtr across the whole game, and the whole season, you have a great QB
This is what I've been waiting to see happen the whole time across his 24 starts.
I'm not positive, but I think he would have been the Pro Bowl holder if the guy who was picked got hurt.
