With the Pittsburgh Steelers finding themselves three players over the 90-man offseason roster limit, they had until yesterday to make room for those three players, in doing so releasing three. The most notable of that group, of course, was offensive tackle Mike Adams, the team’s former 2012 second-round draft pick, and at one time the aspirant for the long-term starting left tackle position.
With his departure from the roster now, I would like to make the effort to make sense of the former Buckeye’s four-year tenure with the team, during which he was active for 41 games between 2012 and 2014, starting 20 games in a variety of capacities.
