Just heard on 93.7 The Fan Raiders released him.
 
2021 first round pick. Some teams don’t mess around unlike the Steelers holding on to Bushy and Kendrick Green. Leatherwood was voted best OL while at Alabama. Could be new coaching changes out there, something. Awfully quick to give up on this kid.

They are purging all things from their ex gm…
 
I hope Omar Khan (and our Omar) are on the phone w/ him sending him a ticket now!!!
This is Omar Khan how can I help you?

Berm: Can we get us a Leatherwood or what?

Omar Khan: We are really happy with our T and G depth. (Kidding said by nobody ever) I'll see what I can do stay tuned.

(Ok I can start with Jesse Davis G/T from the Vikings)

Don't we have enough proof that BAMA players are scrubbs on the current roster without adding another BERM

Harris, Fitzpatrick, Wallace and JC Hasenpfeffer to name a bunch
 
man the hype this guy had around him right before last years draft. and now cut
 
Leatherwood sounds soft, don’t know if it could hit the Bush properly in a practice situation
would they be like two magnetic poles each quivering away from each other?
 
Watch some of the brand new YouTube videos released on Leatherwood today showing why he was released. His pass block grades are bottom of the barrel. The Steelers don’t have 3 years to coach up an OT.

What about a year to see if he can be a coached up G? We already know Green isn't that.
 
"Perhaps even more significant is the Raiders lost Parker to a season-ending triceps injury, and still waived Leatherwood."

parker is the guy who stepped in to play RT when Leatherwood failed last year. Raisers moved L wood to guard.

The Steelers already have 2-3 guys on the roster to be coached up….again. Why give another roster position to a guy who’s not ready? I would halfway be ok with Leatherwood had the Steelers released Green.
