The Pittsburgh Steelers were hardly the center of attention yesterday. A handful of NFL teams made some splash trades (some more head-scratching than others). Though Kevin Colbert doesn’t have the finances to makes moves of that magnitude, the Steelers did a retooling of their own.
On Monday, Pittsburgh parted ways with four players. Anthony Chickillo, Mark Barron, and Johnny Holton were all cut, while long-time starting guard, Ramon Foster, decided to hang up his cleats for good. In addition, the Steelers handed Bud Dupree the $15.89 million franchise tag and they restructured Vance McDonald’s contract to create more cap space in 2020.
