According to Adam Schefter. Guess they couldn't reach a salary compromise.

I'm a bit shocked at this news. Not upset. Just shocked...

Good. Tired of this being a rest home where veterans can sweet talk their way in.

Nice to see them getting rid of the dead weight and not just kicking it down the road by restructuring the contract. More to come I hope.
Im glad... I liked Peterson as a slot type CB, but those are a dime a dozen... if you let Maulet and especially Hilton walk ove a couple hundred grand, you cant keep Peterson for that spot at that cost.
CB is climbing in the need category... though Rush and Trice pan out its not nearly as bad

I really didnt think they would make the smart move here
I liked him but as a corner he wasn't really starting material anymore. Plus if they wanted to convert him to safety he wasn't exactly a great tackler.
I saw the writing on the wall, of course I still wish the guy well. I liked his shows....

Me too, I take this as a positive sign. I was fearful that Pat Pete's Cam-like words were gonna keep him and his inflated salary going; am very happy to see that didn't work.
And DeJean is climbing way up on my board..

Go OL or DL in the 1st; don't fail in the same ole Shades' way, who makes errors on ignoring the lines.
It’s amazing we are getting better with just cutting players and not adding any yet.

Your wish is the Steelers command. Steelers just posted on Facebook they have released Allen Robinson II.

I get the move last year, Peterson just wasn't going to get any better and at his price could not stay.
You know what shocked me about this guy. He seemed super mature in camp. Good mentor for young players. Then he is running his mouth before the 49ers game. Which really started season on wrong foot.

The are pretty common sense cuts, I’m curious on the CAMERON contract as well………..
Salute the nation

Yeah, it's amazing.
It's also amazing that the Steelers signed guys like Peterson, Trubisky, and Robinson to multi-year deals just last season, yet are now piling up dead cap hits like it's snow in Buffalo in January.
I'd like to see them start giving some contracts out to guys who are actually going to play well enough to hang around for a while and earn those deals, so they don't have a shitload of dead wood to clear out next time around.

Dead cap for the pat Pete and A Rob are minimum, contract was structured so the 1st year was cap friendly and there was an easy out on the 2nd year, I have zero problems with those two contracts and how where they handled.
Now Trubisky's, that's another conversation
