Steelers cut Joey Porter

sorry about that hoos! You must have posted it while i was looking for a link. VERY SURPRISING!!!

No big deal we all do it.

True but he's 30 and carrying a large cap figure. The article also points to his penchant for shooting his mouth off and that not meshing with the Steelers' image.

but they play a 3-4 right? Who is taking his spot?

I was talking to Gmanc about this the other day, telling him that Porter might be an option in the coming days.

Gmanc hates Porter, perhaps more than any player in the NFL. So I say pass on Porter

but they play a 3-4 right? Who is taking his spot?

Will they still play a 3-4 under Tomlin?

Will they still play a 3-4 under Tomlin?

I thought they were going to wait to see how the draft and free agency went before deciding.

The Steelers are keeping the 3-4 while adding 4-3 wrinkles. Ironically NFL Network has been running a Joey Porter commercial for the past few days with him talking about how happy he was to be drafted by the Steelers.

I think this move is only surprising to some of us because he's a guy whose mouth has far surpassed his level of talent.

I agree with dmek that Porter can still play, but he's expendable.

I haven't spent a whole bunch of time exploring the Steelers' defensive options, but Mike Tomlin really seems like he knows what he's doing.

Someone is gonna be happy. Who is gonna take his spot in Pitt?

Maybe Lavar is going to go home.

I would love to sign Porter to somthing like a 3 year 10 million dallor contract. But I bet some one else will spend more and over pay for him. Let's just hope it's not us.
And yea I think that would pretty cool if Lavar went back to Pitt.

After seeing Thomas get away I'd like to grab Porter.
