Tuzar Skipper fan club.... fyi

Steelers could use Tuzar back on the roster especially looking toward next season and the recent news on Anthony Chickillo which puts him in jeopardy. Bud Dupree is a UFA after this season and he's going to cost too much to keep so they need to add depth. Maybe Ola or Tuzar could assume the starting job next season.
 
Steelers are #10 on the waiver wire list, they should be able to get him

Unless they try and ******* gamble again and wait for ALL teams to pass on him and take him as free agent

actually they are 9th, just a small correction. Giants can't put in a claim for their own cut...

SNS is nothing but a bunch of drunken frat boys playing grab-*** at the bar.
 
I hope I'm wrong, but the fact Jay Elliott's back may be a sign Skipper won't be returning. We'll see, FA moves should be out within the hour.
 
I would think long and hard before dumping Chickillo before they get all their bodies back. In my mind he dresses unless he is truly replaced or the league says he can't. I'm about 95% sure Tyreek Hill broke his kids arm. Not only does he play. They gave him a contract. You have to do things that are in your best interest. Get what you can and dump his *** when it suits you.

Chick placed on commissioners exempt list means he does not count as roster spot

Go get Skipper!

Looks like it's Jayron Elliott in, Chickillo out. No word on Skipper, he likely went unclaimed.

Steelers very well could've put a waiver claim on Skipper, Elliot may just be insurance if someone else claims Skipper first.
 
Also of note, Ola Adeniyi is in line to start vs. Fins, Watt may not be ready.

Yup, and they can easily cut Paxton Lynch to make room for him. Fingers crossed.
 
While we wait for Skipper news, here's something from the twilight zone files. Big Al Villanueva playing TE - and DL and even punting - in high school. He's a man amongst boys out there, lol

Tuzar Skipper went unclaimed, is now free to sign with any team. Cue the Ravens?
