Wow!! I gotta give it to the Steelers. They are recognizing that there is some house cleaning needed. Good job.

Just one more to go.

Re: Kemo Released

Hadn't heard that yet...so much for waiting until June 1 to spread out the cap hit.

Also, on Sirius NFL Radio a little while ago, they were talking about the Steelers releasing Farrior as well (right around the time the Aaron Smith news was breaking). I don't know if it was confirmed or was just scuttlebutt...we'll see.

They can designate it as a June 1st cut and go ahead and release him now.

I've heard that as well, about Farrior via twitter feeds. Just got home, so don't know if there's any definate confirmation of it though. I guess I think Farrior has more left than Foote, so not sure I get that one.

Re: Kemo Released

Well, I can see them re-signing some later in the year. Drop the $ now, sign back for less... Good plan.

I just heard on ESPN radio that Farrior’s agent is confident that his client will be the next Steeler cut.

Re: Kemo Released

No..I'm just playin with Ruthless. I have no idea who the Steelers are going to draft. It's all in fun.

Re: Kemo Released

Hines, Aaron Smith, Kemo & likely Farrior gone.

That's a lot of long-time Steelers right there.

End of an era..


As for this meaning Hightower in Round 1...Chadman reckons it means Foote gets an extension...maybe ILB drops off the early needs list? If Foote had been released instead of Farrior- may be thinking the other way around- but at 31, Foote has 3 years left you'd think.

Re: Kemo Released

Chadman is right. This signifies the "official" end of an era in Steeler football. Truth is, like Cowher leaving, the era ended a year earlier.

Alas, it's better than hanging on for another year and another year...

As to the sentiment to the players, Hines and others earned that sentiment. Kemo? Hey, I liked him when he was the serviceable player he was early on. But he burned the rest of his goodwill by his recent performance. It signaled a lack of preparedness and attention to detail (i.e. work ethic).
