Bucs trade Tim Wright for the 2nd preseason in a row, this time to the Lions. Lol, if he ends up on the Bucs roster again, his situation will officially become hilarious

 

[spencelisberger13]

shiet Jennings is arguably much better than blake anyday anytime of the week and he is a proven playmaker!!!!

 

[spencelisberger13]

Jennings would be a better safety than "I am hurt all the time" Mithcell, sign Jennings and demote Mitchell.....mitchell so far has been a terrible signing!!!

CHICAGO - The Bears announced the release of veteran two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Tim Jennings' contract Sunday.

Jennings underwent knee surgery in the offseason, which limited his involvement in the Bears' voluntary workout program.

A 10-year NFL veteran, Jennings signed a four-year, $22.4 million extension on Jan. 2, 2014.

He led the NFL in interceptions in 2012 with nine, tied for second-most in one season in Bears history.

Jennings' $4.4 million 2015 base salary is guaranteed.

Lets not fall for the interception stat... We don't have a pass rush so their won't be rush or errand throws that'll provide opportunity for interceptions.

apparently we here at Steelernation do not want him because he isnt big enough... pro bowls and interceptions are overrated, its all size... not how you use it

Fred Jackson cut by the Bills

 

[ZACKB]

Cowboys should be all over Jackson. I hope the Pats don't grab him.

 

[Spike]

Fred Jackson cut by the Bills

The 57 year old back that just gashed the Mighty Steelers front 7?

nah - we got DeAngelo

 

[madinsomniac]

Fred Jackson cut by the Bills

From ESPN:
In surprising move, Bills cut jackson

RB Fred Jackson was released by Buffalo today, according to multiple media reports. Jackson has been in the Bills' backfield since 2007, but has not rushed for 1,000 yards since 2009.

20X better option than Archer or Harris if he isnt demanding a starters role

 

[Slash#10]

Buh Byes too Josh Harris... Hello to Fred Jackson.. I would agree to this signing

 

[ZACKB]

Hell, I've been hoping we would sign Pierre Thomas and cut Harris.

 

[Spike]

before everyone starts the orgazims

two words

salary cap

Steelers - $7M - don't know how accurate that is


you do the math

[ZACKB]

The Cards signed Chris Johnson, but Jackson is a much better player.

 

[Ghost of Frenchy Fuqua]

...Hello to Fred Jackson...

Doubtful. Some team ahead of the Steelers in the waiver-claiming pecking order will take him.

 

[Lloyds legend]

I'm surprised by that cut.

Jackson has always seemed pretty solid.

 

[Steelerfan]

Buh Byes too Josh Harris... Hello to Fred Jackson.. I would agree to this signing

I'd agree only if they throw in the wheel chair or walker as part of the deal

 

[Ron Burgundy]

31 years old, 5'8"
pass

Much too tall at 5'8". Maybe if we convert him to LB.

 

[bermudasteel]

shiet Jennings is arguably much better than blake anyday anytime of the week and he is a proven playmaker!!!!

Are you drunk???

 

[Tibs]

Bills cut CB Ross Cockrell. Weren't a lot us huffing and puffing for this kid when the Steelers picked Dri Archer? Anyway, he's on the open market...

 

[slashsteel]

bring in Fred !

Would solidify the RB position.

 

[Spike]

We have enough offense


We should be looking for starters in the secondary from other teams' cuts.

"Historically bad defense" - that's what Eddy B says
