Suisham Officially Released

[8467thekraken]

Sometimes I don't get internet humor. Is this a joke?

Wasn't intended to be one, so no, it's not a joke.


But people find humor in the darndest of places.



To explain where I was coming from-

I still get a sick feeling when I think about what might have been if we had been a bit deeper at the RB position the past couple of years.

Not many teams I would like to align myself with if I were Foster and I was seeking a championship. It's quite obvious the guy isn't in a position to demand any sort of large payday. And the Steelers' fortune with RBs in December and beyond has not been good the past couple of seasons. I admit Foster would have zero ST value, which may be a reason the team would not consider him. But if that was overlooked, it would be the best three headed monster in the league in the backfield.

And given the somewhat unknowns of Bells recovery and the nature of asking Williams to deliver a performance like he did last year, again, having Foster would be nice. The team would most likely not even need him until the playoffs anyway. To have a guy of his caliber there at the ready, chomping at the bit to prove to the league that he still has it, would be a special thing to have up the sleeve.


Just my .02

Ha, well I certainly could imagine it if we already didn't have a veteran, former star in the fold in Williams. All you need behind that, is a young, hungry, up-and-comer type (a guy like Touissant, Todman, Redman). I think the kid we just picked up from Penn State may have that potential.

Arian Foster is done. He has been so battered he likely has nothing left in the tank and likely couldn't make it through a season. makes no sense to sign someone as "injury insurance" when the insurance is likely to be injured.

[Jooser]

So, I guess from what I read yesterday, Suisham has actually retired. Boswell's salary counts agains the 2+ million that is saved by Suisham's departure, so I think the cap space is estimated at about 1.7 mil or so....

Now let's just hope that Boswell doesn't get "Jeff Reed Disease" aka "Moron-itis" and get stupid when want to give him a long term contract. Boswell has the chance to be a long term solution at kicker.

[Slapstick]

If Boswell waits 8 years to be a douche, like Reed, I'll be okay with it...

Not to mention, Boswell has been nothing but class so far. He even sent a nice shout out to Suisham after he was released.
