Buy Or Sell: Ryan Watts Will Push Damontae Kazee Off Steelers’ Roster

Buy Or Sell: Ryan Watts will push Damontae Kazee off the roster.

Explanation: The Steelers have a number of crowded position groups this year, including an abundance of cornerbacks. They look to be trending toward keeping six of them, with three locks at safety. That includes Miles Killebrew, a special teams ace, who still counts in the numbers game. Ryan Watts is making some plays as a rookie, but Damontae Kazee is an experienced veteran. Yet he has a penchant for missing tackles, as he did in the preseason opener. Releasing him and forgoing that experienced third safety option would save them $3 million in cap space, minus displacement.
