Worst CUT in Steelers History?

[Sugar]

This offseason it is looking increasingly like the Steelers may be forced to cut James Harrison because of the cap. My question to the board is, who do you see as the biggest cut in Steeler history? Who was the most personally disappointing for you?

Remember, I'm thinking about players that are cut- not those who are traded or retire.

Johnny Unitas, if that counts as recent enough history.

Mike Vrabel? Was he cut?

Mike Vrabel? Was he cut?

Vrabel was a free agent.

Rod Woodson?

Len Dawson was another legendary QB the Steelers cut.

Woodson was also a FA, wasn't he?

"Recent history"? James Farrior comes to mind - I suspect the team woulda been playing this January, had they not cut him.

Does depend on how "recent"... In 2000's, possibly Kraig Urbrik, starting OG for the Bills... Santonio comes to mind. Cant think of any true "cuts" that weren't warranted, though... the Urbrik cut irked me... too early to give up on a 2nd rounder...

Johnny U is the real answer. Farrior is my recent answer.

The dude who played the dad on "Married With Children" is the funniest answer.

[SteelBucks]

Len Dawson without a doubt.

Ed O'Neill went to my high school....and yes, he's in our HOF.

[supersteeler]

Len Dawson without a doubt.

Yeah, he went on to win a Super Bowl with the Chiefs, he could of helped the Steelers be a better team for sure.

There's a reason no other team signed Farrior after we cut him. He's done. Foote was no worse at that position than Farrior was last season, IMO.

Santonio was traded to the Jets.

How about David Little who Cowher actually cut in camp 1 year after making the Pro Bowl?

[SidSmythe]

A lot of reaches here.
I say we gotta go back to Dawson and Unitas.

Farrior?? the dude is old and never played again.
Kraig Urbrik??? LOL!!!!! If that's at the top I say the Steelers have done a good job.

Joey Porter was a tough cut, but having Harrison step in and play as well as he did eased the blow.
