Getty ImagesThe Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported on Friday morning that the Steelers had cut roughly $37.4 million off their salary cap figure with all their restructuring and releases over the last few weeks.

On Friday morning, they lopped off even more money.

James Farrior’s agent Ralph Cindrich tweeted on Friday morning — in classic Cindrich style — that Farrior had been cut.

“JamesFarrior has been a rock for the #Steelers but the #Turk takes no prisoners-he’s gone, A not so Good Morning from Cali,” Cindrich wrote.

Farrior joins Hines Ward, defensive end Aaron Smith, and guard Chris Kemoeatu as freshly minted ex-Steelers.

Tough to see all these guys go.

It is tough. But at the same time, it was time... Now we await hopefully for an exciting future with a younger and faster team.

Good things don't last forever.

Great things come to an abrupt end.


That is the reason it hits so hard..."Great".

Re: Farrior Released

Ouch..Cuts are coming thick and fast. Steelers are getting younger which is good.
Casey Hampton could be next.

Best of Luck Potsie..one of the greatest Steelers LB.

Re: Farrior Released

Another huge loss. Farrior was the heart of this defense. Thanks for the memories.

Even though he only looked 200 lbs at times, he was always the one Steeler that I wouldn't want to tackle me. He hit so hard. Seriously, I'd rather get sacked repeatedly by Harrison or sat on by Casey than to take a clean shot from Farrior.

This cut a day trend has to stop soon. I need some positive news out of this team.

Excuse me Mr. D.J.....can I get some Martha and the Vandella's?....


Callin' out around the world, are you ready for a brand new beat?
Spring is near and the time is right for dancin' in the street.
Dancin' in Pittsburgh (dancin' in the street)
Down in Mckeesport (dancin' in the street)
In Mt. Lebanon

All we need is music, sweet music,
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin' swayin', and records playin,
Dancin' in the street

Oh it doesn't matter what jersey you wear, just as long as you are there.
So come on every guy, grab a Terrible Towel,
Everywhere, around the world

There'll be dancin', they're dancin' in the street.
This is an invitation, across the Steeler Nation,
A chance for folks to meet.
There'll be laughin' singin', and music swingin'
Dancin' in the street

Re: Farrior Released

For what it's worth, Dont'a Hightower has a LONG LONG way to go before he even sniffs Farrior's jock. Now is time for respecting the careers of longtime gridiron warriors, not celebrating some unknown future.

Ward, Smith, and Farrior were bedrocks of this recent amazing Steeler run (3 Super Bowl appearances and 2 rings in a 6 year period). All will be sorely missed.

Best Steeler signing ever in free agency...Insane Clown Potsie!

No offense Ruthless, but you be a fan the way you want, and I will be a fan the way I want. There is not wrong way and no right way. I am a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers way over any one or two players. This to me is a day to celebrate. It is a step in the right direction.

I will honor James Farrior in my own way and respect the way you do it. But please dont try to tell me how to be a fan of a team I have been loyal to since 1972.

Peace.

Tough, but necessary "Generational Change" that must happen if we are to get right for the future. These guys are part of the past.

Thanks for the memories but this is all about looking forward and not looking back. I respect the organization for swollowing this bitter pill in such a big way instead of trying to spread this out.

The way I see this is that those still on the roster will have lots of opportunity to prove themselevs instead of being blocked. It's up to them now to prove they belong or whether they too should be on the street.

To paraphrase: It's about the shied on the side of the helmet not the name on the back of the jersey.

If the heroes of the 70s can move on so can any group of players. Players are temporary, the Steelers are forever.

If being a fan involves rejoicing when good people lose their jobs, you have a strange idea of being a fan.

Players being cut is a reality in the NFL. Acknowledging that is one thing. Rejoicing is a little sick.

they lost their jobs because they didnt produce at the level of their pay...............it's their fault that they are umemployed. plus, those jobless ones have millions of dollars in the bank and never have to work again. sad to see them go but no sorry for them

Negative. Those players hurt the Steelers last year. They didnt help them. I choose to rejoice.

Ok i'll say a little memorial for them if you think it will justify my fanship.

Bow your heads please. In the words of Cheech and Chong...

Re: Farrior Released

Nobody said "feel sorry for them".

I merely said, "it isn't a reason to celebrate."

But, you're right though. They should have found a way to retard their respective aging processes.

[Slapstick]

Re: Farrior Released

I choose to rejoice.

And that is why you're a little bit messed up in the head.

I fully believe that you are a fan, so no need to justify anything to me.

But, among other things, it isn't very Christian to derive glee from the misfortunes of others...
