SCB Steelers Quick Hitters: The “Skipper Has Sailed” Edition

Good Thursday to you Steelers’ Fans.

It is always fascinating to see how fans react to a player that has a really good preseason but ends up being cut. Outside linebacker Tuzar Skipper is one such guy. After having been cut by the New York Giants on Tuesday it seemed all too easy that the Steelers would re-sign him for much needed depth at the position. Despite clearing waivers and being available to them the Steelers chose to bring back Jayrone Elliott while Anthony Chickillo remains on the Commissioner’s Exempt List. The biggest misconception with Skipper is that anyone who was insisting he come back was “over-valuing” how good he actually is.
