    total waste of a roster spot

    the guy is a stiff and can't play dead. if you just need a camp body, how about finding one who might actually be able to contribute

    13 total snaps last year. mcCullers is what he always was, a lazy bum

      You have a 90 man roster to open camp. He's not taking a spot away from somebody any more than Fitz Toussaint is. I hope that both of them get beat out in camp, but I don't see any harm in bringing them back on vet minimum deals.

        McCullers must be showing something in practice that the masses can’t see. Because other then that, I don’t see why he’s being retained.

          When you're 6 7 360 you have to repeatedly show you can't play. That said he is the 6. So the bar is not set high. Someone has to come to camp n pre season n take it from him. Do not think we draft a dl early but who knows. Lets hope we bring in a talent that can send him down route 30.

                All that speculating on this board that he was gonna be cut had me in a panic.
                Could this team be so stupid to let Big Dan get away?

                All I can say is-

                Whew- I'm glad this board doesnt run the team.
                Most important signing in the NFL.

                Superbowl here we come!!!!

                Ya''ll had me worried for nothing

                In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

                TCFCLTC-
                The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher

                  BTW, for all you laughing at Belichick for not playing Butler in ONE GAME our "janitor" coach has ignored Big Dan FOR YEARS.
                  The only thing bigger than his Yeti like size is the size of his untapped potential!!!!

                    At least now we don’t have to worry about the Steelers wasting their first round draft pick on Vita Vea.
                    Obviously the standard is the standard.

                      Meh. We’ll see if he can make the roster...
                      Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

                        He hasn't done that already?

                          Covered the "need" at NT, so they don't have to address it in the draft?!

                            Fitz Touissaint got a one year vet minimum deal with no signing bonus ($790K base salary that counts $630K against the cap). I'm assuming that this McCullers contract is along those lines.
                            Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                            Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                            We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                            We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                              Big Dan got a $90K signing bonus and a base salary of $790K.

                              If he makes the team, he gets $880K. If he doesn't make the team, he gets 90K.

                              If if he makes the team, he'll count $720K against our cap. If he doesn't make the team, he'll count $90K against our cap.
