Report: Steelers Give Steven Nelson Permission To Seek Trade

[SteelBuckeye]

Same cap hit and cap relief if he's traded or if he's cut. Only real difference is the Steelers give away something of great value (starter level CB) for no return if he's cut.
If I'm Colbert, I let it be known that if he can't find a trade partner, the Steelers are more than willing to have him play out the last year of his contract. No freebies!

Well, **** .... Stupid move to just let him walk for nothing. These teams need to start getting some of that signing bonus money back before they let these players just force themselves off the team. Like: "OK, we'll trade you if you find a partner. If not, and you want to be released, it's going to cost you some of that signing bonus money. Your signing bonus was based upon X amount of years and you are not fulfilling that."

Apparently Nelson never asked for permission to seek a trade or to be released. This was all the Steelers front office. They made a choice between keeping Haden or Nelson and chose Haden after they resigned Sutton. They then told Nelson he could seek a trade or be released. So, I guess that makes sense of some of Nelson's tweets. And if things went down like this, I owe the man an apology. I'd be frustrated in his position too. And if you say you're going to release me, release me so I can get a job somewhere else. Don't hold onto me until the market totally dries up.

No they were trying to get a pick out of it and he whined like a *****. The man was well payed by the Steelers he could have been a little more patient. Even if the Steelers didn't want him for whatever reason at that salary sobeit, at least let them have time to get some value. Trust me the Steelers wouldn't have sat on him much longer.

I would have sat on Nelson through the Draft. Use him as draft day movement if you don't get your CB. There were options.

I am bent when the Steelers let talented players go for nothing. Blunt, Nelson, Bell...

If you're thinking of AB, he was traded for a 3rd (DJ) and a 5th (Zach Gentry).
