Every year, roster cut-downs bring a surprise or two. This year's biggest surprise of the first round was safety Ian Wild. Maybe, on the surface, it's shocking that he didn't survive the first round of cuts. But in the bigger picture, it's no real surprise at all.
Okay, that's an exaggeration. But the outcry today after the Steelers announced that safety/inside linebacker Ian Wild was among the first round of cuts would certainly make you think that some beloved veteran had just lost his job.
Sure, he played well this pre-season.
