    I was for bringing in Arazia early in the season

    but the fact that NOBODY in the NFL has gone after him makes me wonder if there might be some legitimate reason to stay away from him

      I think the NFL wanted to let the story die down a bit. He will probably get looks this off season or play in the USFL or whatever its called this spring.

        You think the NFL mandated that teams couldn't bring him in?

        Interesting.

          Just learned that it was only last week that his accuser finally dropped her civil suit against him



          understandable that no team would want to bring him in while that was still up in the air
          I would look for teams to go after him now

            If I am him or Trevor Bauer and can't find another team I'd be lawyering up. This is total BS.
            Help me find my post proving I am a Yinzer!

            I will tip my hat to Tomlin if he has a winning record and the team makes the play-offs in the upcoming season.

              Here's the thing with Harvin. When the temperature is over 50 degrees He averages 50 yards a punt. When it's under 50 he averages 35.

              This has always been his problem. Punters are all over college teams. The Ravens always have a good punter. Just let him walk.

                Steelers Recognize Significant Punter Problem

                by Nick Farabaugh, Steelers Now

                The Pittsburgh Steelers know they have an issue at punter. Pressley Harvin III has become one of the team's issues on special teams, and that matters a ton of when the team plays the field position game as much as they do. On Thursday, Mike Tomlin addressed Harvin's rocky play.

                You know, I'll acknowledge that Pressley (Harvin) wasn?t consistent enough, particularly down the stretch, Tomlin said.

                The Steelers have a punter problem, and have had one for a while. But their loss against the Bills game cemented the fact that it seems even harder to imagine them not making a change here. Pittsburgh gave Harvin three legitimate seasons to prove what he could do on the football field, but time and time again, he has fallen short. A mere 38.5 punt average led Harvin to one of his most lackluster career showings. For a team that plays the field position game so strongly, having a subpar punter is a big deal, especially when they invested a draft pick in Harvin.

                Harvin's flat punts leave the team out to dry. He is consistently outdueled each week against opponents, putting an already struggling offense in even tougher spots when the field position battle gets so lopsided and opposing offenses start on short fields. It seems like it is time to move on. This isn't working.

                Pittsburgh will likely move on at this point, and they must do so. At any rate, Harvin is not cutting it as the team's punter with his inconsistencies over the past three seasons. It seems like many things, and this is one of those coming to an end after the 2023 season for plenty of solid reasons.

                Tomlin has openly talked about his displeasure with the punting situation. Although Harvin is a fantastic holder for Chris Boswell, it does not make up for his lackluster punting efforts throughout the last three seasons. And that means change is natural to the come on special teams and especially, at punter.

                  too bad Tomlin didn't recognize the problem months ago, and given the job to a better punter that we'd brought in
