I think most probably know by now that I had Sammie Coates making my final 53-man roster. Even though Justin Hunter ended up doing a bit more than him with a strong preseason finale for the Pittsburgh Steelers, I figured the fifth-year wide receiver’s inability to contribute on special teams that far down the roster would be his ultimate undoing.
The Steelers obviously felt, however, that they had two rosterable commodities on their hands, which is why they were able to move Coates and a seventh-round pick in exchange for a sixth-round pick.
