When news broke late Tuesday night that the Pittsburgh Steelers were planning on cutting veteran cornerback Desmond King II if they couldn’t trade him in the days ahead, it was a bit of a surprise since the Steelers moved quickly to sign the veteran cornerback in early September after he was cut by the Houston Texans.
Turns out, the Steelers are moving on from a guy that is not what they were expecting when they signed him.
The Athletic Steelers beat reporter Mark Kaboly, during an appearance on the 93.7 The Fan’s Cook and Joe Show, stated that the decision to move on from King is purely physical and has to do with his on-the-field abilities.
