Steelers release RB Isaac Redman and sign LB Kion Wilson

Kion Wilson is a f'n joke. He should NEVER put on an NFL uniform again, much less for the Steelers. For goodness sake, did you guys watch him play? Engulfed on every play. Totally out of his depth. Completely overwhelmed. Wastes a roster spot. I thought the Sylvester signing was the end of that debacle.

Redman wasn't adding anything but it makes me sick the Steelers talent evaluators deemed this high school player worthy of a spot. Mind numbing personnel move and it's sad the LB corp has gotten to the point where a dead fish gets the call.

not to worry my friends... Kion will be on the chopping block again in a few weeks if Spence is anywhere close to being ready to go.

Guessw they got a blocking dummy (Wilson) by releasing a tackling dummy (Redman).

Redman getting cut was long overdue.

True. The fourth string RB on the 31st ranked running team is usually taken first in most fantasy pools too!

Don't know if they tried trading him, but I can't see too many bites for a guy like him. The return probably wouldn't be worth the quarter it costs to make the call.

Yeah, everyone saw what he did...not much. Too bad too because I can remember a few years ago when he fought so hard to get that TD against the Ravens. Made a big impression on me and I wanted him to succeed.
