Ed: Steelers Flozell Adams Plans to Play Thursday, 21 April 2011 13:49 Written by Ed Bouchette Tackle Flozell Adams, under contract to the Steelers through 2011, plans to play next season. There has been speculation on whether Adams, 36, will retire after playing last season with the Steelers. But his agent says that is not the case.
“Flo is planning on playing,’’ Jordan Woy told the Post-Gazette in an email today. “We will need to talk to Pitt (once lock out ends) and determine his role and if it will be with the Steelers.’’
In other words, Adams doesn’t want to be a backup. He wants to stay right where he was last season, as their starting right tackle. It’s no secret the Steelers will pursue a tackle in the draft next week, but that could work out perfectly for them. Adams could finish out his contract with the Steelers and start the 2011 season at right tackle, and any young tackle they might draft could have a year playing behind him.
My take: This is great news, I loved how Flo played last year and I think he still has it in him for next year. I think he was a big improvement over Colon, who I think is unfortunely done, damaged-goods.

If the Steelers have confirmation the chances of them taking OL in Round 1 has just become about zero.
