    They can save $4.5M in 2012 if they are willing to roll $3.6M of cap hit into 2013.

    I don't see them doing this, I don't remember them ever doing this in the past, but it is possible.
    simmons??

    Colon will be back at RT, Chadman nearly guarentees it.
    How many of you believe Colon will stay healthy at RT this season?

    Colon will get injured, SSS nearly guarantees it.

    (And when he does, who is his back up?)

    Colon had two season ending injuries, but they were radically different and more a result of terrible coincidence than anything else...

    For the people pimping Max Starks to come back, he also suffered two different season ending injuries this year and last, like Colon...Max's injury timing was good enough that people here tend to forget that...
    Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

    Oh, so we're making the post-June 1st cut assumption...I get it...

    Personally, the only post-June 1st cut that I see the Steelers making is possibly Kemoeatu this year...

    The other positions (WR - Hines, CB - McFadden) there seems to be quality young players on the roster...I think the Steelers will go through the draft and free agency to see if they can come up with a player at OG...they will have some offseason workouts/minicamps to evaluate what they have and decide if Kemo is expendable or not prior to June...

    They have completely different body types. Both are 6'5" but Sanders is listed at 307 lbs. while Glenn is listed at 348 lbs. Knowing our teams preferences, they tend to prefer road grader types at guard and right tackle. I think that Glenn fits that mold better (a potential starting guard who could fill in at RT if injuries strike).

    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

    Glenn is #1 in my Mock. Start him inside and "grow him" to the outside when Colon gets injured again. Glenn has way more flexibility than Sanders.

    Just so I understand... Are you saying you think Colon will stay healthy this year?
