    It just depends on how much more room under they cap they need to tender RFA's. They also must have cap space allotted for the rookies.
    Some of that can be done later. If Colon is released after June 1, they can spread the cap hit (I think), and save more money on this year's cap.

      I say they keep Taylor one more year. I think it more likely that Harrison is gone along with Clark. I see Kiesel taking a pay cut.
      Uhhhhhhhhhh....Ike is old, on the decline, and makes too much money for a team strapped for money. Oh and the two youngsters have shown they are more than capable of playing the position. And when that is the case, usually the Pittsburgh Steelers release the veteran player.

        I agree he is old and I agree he makes a lot of money. But I disagree with you about his decline. He was having a really good year before he got injured. He doesn't have a history of this.

        Our team is much worse off without him than if we keep him.

Add a pick like Darius Slay and all of a sudden the CB position is a strength for the Steelers. 3 young, promising players.
          I doubt that Dub. Cutting Taylor only frees up 2.5 mil but creates almost 7 mil of dead money. Taylor is still playing at the top of his game. I think he plays 2013 as a Steeler regardless of Lewis signing long term. jmo

            If Ike isn't back we better get a draft pick for him (due to trade, not just cutting him like JPeezy).

                  I don't get moving Ike Taylor to safety at all, nor do I think it makes sense to cut him. He's a good corner and you need three good corners. The Steelers pass defense had a lot of issues after Ike went down.

                  Cortez Allen played more snaps than Hampton, making his position really almost like a starter's role. The Steelers don't have much depth beyond their top 3; Curtis Brown was benched for Victorian, which really says all you need to know about his play, and Victorian shows so instincts but needs to improve a lot.

                  Moreover, why would you move a player with Ike's cap hit to a position that he has never played.

                        Kenaan has a daughter. Maybe a boy on the way? I don't think he would keep that a secret though.
